No. All are invited to join and be a part of our ceremony regardless of faith background. The ceremony will be about 30 minutes, not a full mass.
Is there parking available at the ceremony and reception?
Yes. Both venues have free parking. We, however, encourage you to opt for a driver to the reception venue so that you can fully and safely enjoy yourself at our reception.
How far apart are the church and the reception venue?
These venues are about 15 minutes apart. There is parking at both venues should you choose to drive, however, Ubers and Lyfts are widely available and affordable in Raleigh.
What should we do in between the ceremony and reception times?
There will be about an 1.5-2 hour gap between our ceremony end time and reception start time. If you prefer to begin the celebration early (as opposed to returning to your hotel), Downtown Raleigh has several fantastic bars and breweries where you can enjoy a drink. We recommend staying close by at either Clouds Brewing or KillJoy cocktail bar, both just .3 miles away. Our reception will start at 4:30 and includes cocktails and food so do pace yourself!
