Beers and Wings before the Rings! There's no better way to welcome you all to our city than to start the shenanigans at our favorite brewery, Durty Bull Brewing. All guests are welcome to join for some drinks, pizza, and wings. We're keeping it casual since we know many of you will have just arrived from a day of travel. The welcome party will be from 6pm-8pm after which, you are welcome to stay longer at the brewery or stroll around the Geer St downtown area where there are more bars to explore. Welcome to the neighborhood!
6:30 pm - 11:30 pm
Cocktail Attire: Wear any length cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, and suit jackets and slacks.
It's about time! Join Michael and Jen as they exchange vows at the Butterfly Sanctuary of the Durham Museum of Life and Science. Please be prompt! Our ceremony begins at 6:30pm sharp, we are racing the sun on this one. Please consider getting to the grounds at 6:00pm to allow plenty of time to get settled. The ceremony will be followed by a cocktail hour where you are encouraged to enjoy some bites and sips and explore some of the exhibits. The reception will begin around 8pm with a buffet dinner in the Aerospace Center just a short walk across the museum grounds where there will be music, dancing, and interactive exhibits to enjoy. Let's get this party started!

If you still have some gas left in the tank, let's keep the party going at one of Michael and Jen's favorite bars, Surf Club. Right in the heart of Downtown Durham and just a short walk from the guest hotels, it's a nice place to keep celebrating and relax with friends.
12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Why leave so soon? After you check out of your hotels, please drop by our home for some light refreshments. We'll be here all day so come by whenever you can after noon. It will be a great way to wrap up the wedding festivities and show you Our Durham.
