When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP at the Knot link provided in your wedding invitation by August 1st. Even if you are unable to join us please let us know.

Where is the wedding ceremony?

Christ Community Church 4555 Fairview Dr, Wilmington, NC 28412

Please be aware: Christ Community Church will be under construction with its second building at the time of the wedding.

Where is the reception being held?

Hanover Seaside Club 601 S Lumina Ave, Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480

How far is the reception venue from the church?

Roughly 1/2 hour pending traffic.

Is the wedding indoor or outdoor?

The wedding and reception both take place indoors.

Are both venues handicap accessible?

Yes. Christ Community Church had a roundabout for easy drop off as well as handicapped parking near the main doors. Hanover Seaside Club has its handicap parking directly in front of the entrance (on the left as you approach). There is an elevator not far from there to assist with access to the second-floor dining area.

Is there a dress code? What should I wear?

Beach casual attire! Its a September wedding so we suggest long- or short-sleeved shirts paired with slacks or shorts. A sundress or dressy separates, like a nice top and skirt, would also be appropriate. If you are generally a cooler person, both locations are well air conditioned so plan accordingly.

What should I expect after the ceremony?

After the ceremony, the immediate family of the couple will be taking pictures in the church sancturary for about an hour. Guests can drive over to the Hanover Beach Club which is approximately a half hour away depending on beach and college traffic. There will be drinks and snacks available. Lunch will be served at 1:00.

Can I bring my children?

Children who are invited to the wedding will be included on the invitation and on the RSVP. If your child is not invited, come enjoy an adult evening on us.

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Absolutely! We ask that photos be uploaded via a scannable link for our access which will be made available at the table.
