There is no arranged transportation between the hotel and the venue. The Residence Inn Durham/McPherson is a 3 minute (0.6 mile) drive / 13 minute walk to the wedding venue. We recommend using Lyft/Uber for a quick drive, but April weather in Durham is also beautiful!
The closest parking deck to Durham Arts Council is at 300 W Morgan St, Durham, NC 27701, and parking on the weekends are free! Be Advised: Weekend Special Event parking rates are in effect anytime there is an event at a downtown venue or during any other major downtown event. The event rate at all downtown parking garages is $7. We don't anticipate that there will be a major event on Saturday, April 26th, but just an advisory!
Our ceremony starts promptly at 3:00PM on Saturday, so please make arrangements to arrive between 30 and 45 minutes early (between 2:15PM and 2:30PM) to make sure everyone is seated on time.
