Question

What kind of wedding are we going for?

Answer

We really want to make sure the wedding is small and intimate, oriented around spending time with the people that we care about. It is a backyard wedding with BBQ food, homemade desserts, self-serve drinks, and lots of love and laughter.

Is the ceremony unplugged?

Yes! Please put all phones on vibrate and refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We want you to be present with us during the ceremony and allow the photographer to do her job without any obstructions.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

The wedding is outside on the grass so block heels would be recommended. There will be a tent for the reception and the bathroom will be located at the clubhouse. The weather is unpredictable in North Carolina so prepare for rain or shine!

Question

Where do we park?

Drive right up to the driveway of our home for the weekend!

Question

Are there hotel room blocks or is it just recommendations?

The hotels provided are NOT hotel room blocks but hotel recommendations. Since it's such a small wedding, we did not find it appropriate to request hotel room blocks.

Answer

Please wear appropriate wedding attire such as suits and cocktail dresses. Even though its a backyard wedding, we're hoping to maintain an elegant beautiful wedding.
