Q&A

What is the dress code?

For both the garden ceremony and indoor reception, cocktail attire is ideal.

Where do I park for the ceremony at the Rose Garden?

The parking lot is located on Pogue Street which includes wheelchair- accessible parking spaces, ramps and a pathway leading to the garden. Additional street parking is available in the nearby neighborhood.

What time should I arrive?

The wedding ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 pm. Please arrive at 5:00 pm to allow time for parking and seating arrangements. Please plan for transportation between the ceremony and reception. Caffe Luna is a nine minute drive from the Raleigh Rose Garden. There is a free parking deck at 117 S Wilmington St, Raleigh, NC 27601. The reception doors will open at 6:30 pm at Caffe Luna.

What happens if it rains?

The ceremony will be held at Caffe Luna.

Can I bring a guest/date?

Due to limited space and arrangements made with our vendors, we ask that you only bring those guests who were formally invited to the wedding. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding and please let us know if you have any additional questions.

When do we need to RSVP by?

Please RSVP by April 4th, using the RSVP tab in the menu, but feel free to RSVP sooner. If you do not RSVP in time, we will assume that you will be unable to attend.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. Please keep phones on silent or Do Not Disturb so everyone can be fully present. You’re welcome to take all the photos you’d like before and after—we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
