Q + A

What's The Dress Code?

At least cocktail attire, please. However, if you want to go full black tie, go for it. Color is highly encouraged but we do not have a required color palette (just don't wear white ;) Think of this has a chance to wear that too fancy outfit you have no where else to wear.

I'm not bringing a car, what's it like to get around?

Downtown Raleigh is very walkable, and many of the suggested hotels are within walking distance to the venue. The average Lyft from RDU airport to the downtown Raleigh area on a Saturday afternoon is $40-$46. This will vary depending on the day of the week and time of day. The hotel to the venue is an 11-15 minute drive, depending on traffic.

Are my kids invited?

Please check your invitation for the total number of people in your household that are invited. We have tried to include everyone's children when sending out the invitations, please reach out if you feel someone has been missed.

What does parking look like?

Unfortunately, our venue's parking deck will not be completed in time for our wedding, but street parking in Raleigh is free on weekends. Please pay attention to where you park if you choose to park on the street as not all areas allow for parking. There is also a pay-to-park parking deck across from our venue. Do not park in front of Raleigh Union Station as most of that is reserved and cars are subject to towing.

What's the weather like in Raleigh?

Our ceremony will be outdoors (weather permitting) and our reception will be indoors. September in North Carolina is generally warmer but the evenings can get cool so you wouldn't be out of place to bring a light jacket.

What's the order of events?

The ceremony starts at 5:00 PM, followed by a cocktail hour starting at 5:30, with a buffet to follow.

What's traffic like?

It can get pretty bad, if you're driving or Uber-ing to the venue, please keep this in mind. I would plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to the ceremony.

Open Bar? 🍸

Yes, there will be an open bar. We are only offering beer and wine though, please keep that in mind.
