8:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Casual
**UPDATED AS OF AUGUST 7** We're ready to kick off the festivities early! After our rehearsal dinner, we would be delighted if you came to meet us and the rest of the bridal party on the second floor of The Pit, a famous NC BBQ spot, to say hi and welcome you to the Bull City. We have the entire upstairs reserved for everyone from 8:30 - 10:00 pm with a cash bar and small snacks. Although the ceremony and reception are adults-only, children are welcome to our rehearsal evening! After 10 pm, feel free to check out what Rigsbee Ave has to offer (like Motorco, the Rocket Science IPA at Fullsteam Brewery, or the dive bar that is Surf Club).
5:00 pm
Cocktail Attire
We're ready to celebrate! The Cookery, a Durham landmark full of history, will host our ceremony and reception. Please note, this is an adults-only ceremony and reception. *Transportation*: The Cookery includes complimentary valet parking, should you choose to drive. However, we will also charter a shuttle to run from the Marriott City Center to the venue. The Cookery is also less than a mile from downtown, should you need to call an Uber at any time. **Basketball Fans**: Christine has been raised on ACC basketball and Jimmy can't get enough of the game. Should the final regular-season matchup between Duke and UNC be scheduled on March 7, we promise to stream the game. Downtown Durham on the night of this matchup is certainly not something to be missed (Let's Go, Duke!). ***Wedding Music***: We promise to play Country Roads, Sweet Caroline, New York State of Mind and Piano Man, but if you have specific wedding song requests, we want to hear them! We're ready to dance.
10:30 pm
For those who want to keep the party going, we'll meet up after the reception at the Marriott City Center for a little after party. The hotel is central to many bars and restaurants (see "Things to Do") for those who want to extend said after party.
