FAQs
Question
Will the wedding be held outside or inside?
Answer
The wedding ceremony will take place on the lawn overlooking the golf course, weather and heat permitting. Seating under shade will be available. Ladies, please consider wearing shoes suitable to walk on grass. In the event of rain, the ceremony will be held indoors. The cocktail hour will be held both indoors and with access to the ballroom's patio. Dinner and the reception will be held indoors.
Question
What's the dress code?
Answer
Cocktail/semi-formal attire. Cape Fear Country Club's dress code prohibits denim, t-shirts (men must wear collared shirts), and flip flops. For women we'd recommend dresses of any length, and for men we'd recommend a suit, or pants & a button down/blazer. Additionally, we would kindly ask all guests to refrain from wearing white/ivory or light blue that the bridal party will be wearing.
Question
Will there be parking available?
Answer
For the Welcome Party on Friday night, parking is not available onsite at Front Street Brewery. However, limited surrounding street metered parking is available in downtown Wilmington free of charge after 6:30PM or we would recommend parking at the Market St or Second St Parking decks ($1/hour after first 30 mins free). Uber and Lyft are also readily accessible in the area. On Saturday, limited parking will be available onsite at Cape Fear Country Club free of charge. We would recommend a ride share service if you don't intend to drive home after the reception; however, cars can be left overnight if retrieved in a timely manner the next day.
