All in one location! The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will be held on-site at The Upchurch in Apex, NC. The ceremony will be held on the Magnolia Lawn, with cocktail hour happening inside of the Main House, and the reception moving to the Conservatory. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the Conservatory.

We recommend using Uber or Lyft, ride-share services, or riding with another guest attending the wedding! If you are driving yourself, or the driver of the party, please remember there are only 75 on-site parking spots in the main parking lot with one parking attendant. If needed, the car may sit overnight after the event but needs to be picked up the following morning by 10am!

The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30pm! Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes prior to in order to adequately have time to park, use the restroom if needed, and find your seat.

YES! We want our guests to "dress to impress"! We require all guests to wear BLACK, as we are doing a formal, black-tie theme. Women should be dressed in black PLAIN (no sparkles please) dresses (Lulu's and Pinterest are great help for ideas!), and men in suits or tuxedos. The tuxes don't have to be black on black - just look nice!! Here's a Pinterest mood board for the dress code: https://pin.it/3sZJBmSSf

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony which means no phones, photos, or cameras! We kindly ask that all guests adhere to and follow this to be completely present during our special time. Our hired professionals will be in charge of taking photographs and videos during this time, as well as ensuring no other photos are being taken. Please feel free to take all of the photos after the ceremony is complete!

Unless previously specified on your formal invitation, we respectfully request that you do not bring a guest. We only allocate seating and arrangements for those who RSVP. We appreciate your understanding!

To allow all of our guests the opportunity to celebrate without little eyes and ears, we politely request no children so everyone can relax and enjoy the evening! No children under the age of 16 will be able to attend the wedding due to venue rules as The Upchurch is a Wake County Historical Property! We hope you understand our decision to make our wedding child-free and appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time to celebrate with us.

Per their facility requirements, The Upchurch is a smoke-free facility except in areas designated for smoking. If you choose to smoke, please do it in these areas away from food, beverage, and other guests. However, we prefer that our wedding be smoke free!

The closest airport you should fly into, if needed, is Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The closest hotels to the venue will be located under the "Travel" tab. Guests are allowed to stay wherever they'd like, however the hotels listed are those closest to the venue. There isn't a room block so feel free to pick your favorite place to stay!

Yes! The bar is on us, and the hangover is on you - time to celebrate!!

Yes - there is a 2.5% transaction fee required by credit card companies for every complete purchase. Don't let this deter you, though! This transaction fee is typically less expensive than the taxes and shipping costs associated with a physical gift. Plus, a 2.5% transaction fee is actually the lowest you'll find anywhere—we've checked. If the rate ever changes, The Knot will cover the costs, so guests will only ever pay 2.5%. (The Knot, 2023).
