The chapel doors will open at 4:30 pm est for guests to begin seating, and the ceremony will begin promptly at 5 pm est. If you drive to the ceremony, event parking is located on the field beside Smedes circle.
Following the ceremony, transportation to the reception is provided by the Raleigh Trolley. The Trolleys will be in Smedes Circle (main school entrance) ready to take you on a short ride through downtown Raleigh and will drop you off at the entrance of Gravy. Therefore, we encourage carpooling or a ride app service to the ceremony. If you drive and would like to ride the trolley, you will need to move your car to the street, as you cannot leave it at Saint Mary’s overnight.
A short 6 minute ride into downtown Raleigh.
Every effort will be made to provide convenient parking on Saint Mary's campus for all wedding guests. Guests who are physically handicapped will be accommodated. However, as Saint Mary’s School is a bustling school campus, the convenience of parking may be limited as other events may be taking place on campus. Guests may not park in numbered student spaces during the school year nor in marked reserved spaces at any time. You cannot leave your car in Saint Mary's overnight. The closest parking decks to the Jiddi Space & Courtyard are the Wilmington Street (117 S Wilmington St) deck, the Alexander Square (120 S Wilmington St) deck, and the Moore Square (233 S Wilmington St) deck. Entrances to all three decks are on S. Wilmington Street.
