Formal. Suits or tuxes for men; long dresses for women. If you plan to wear heels, we recommend block heels or heel protectors for our ceremony, as it will take place on grass.

Shuttles will run to and from the AC Hotel Downtown Raleigh. If you're taking an Uber, we suggest scheduling in advance to avoid delays. There’s on-site parking, but if you’re drinking, please plan ahead. Please see more information on getting to the wedding venue in our Travel & Stay section.

We’d prefer you don’t. We have a professional photographer, and phones in the aisle ruin the shot. If you must take a pic, just make sure we look amazing :)

We wish we could invite everyone, but we are at venue capacity. Your invitation lists exactly who is invited. If a guest isn’t named or your children are not explicitly written on your invitation, they’re not included.

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors; dinner and dancing will be indoors. We have a rain plan in place, just in case.

Yes—both the welcome party and the wedding will have an open bar. Cheers! There will also be non-alcoholic options and plenty of Diet Coke! :)

The ceremony begins promptly at 4:30 PM. Please arrive by 4:15 to be seated. Late arrivals will not be seated—no exceptions.

We have a room block at the AC Hotel Downtown Raleigh. There are also nearby hotels and Airbnbs, but we chose the AC for its great location and size. For more information, please see our Travel & Stay section.

Yes! Join us for our formal masquerade welcome party on Halloween from 7–9 PM at the Heck-Andrews House in downtown Raleigh. Dress code: Dark colors. Cocktail attire. Masks will be provided or bring your own!
