The wedding is formal. So, pull out your best black tie or cocktail attire and feel free to wear any color you look best in...including WHITE!
Depending on the weather and temperature, our wedding ceremony may occur outdoors…so be mindful of heels sinking into the grass! Our cocktail hour and reception will take place indoors where the weather is always perfect!
As much as we love all of the littles, the reception will be adults only. Children are very much welcome to attend the ceremony, but we want the adults to be able to let their hair down for the evening. We will have personally trusted child care and dinner available (at no cost to our guests) for the children so be sure to indicate if its needed on the RSVP.
We are hosting an open bar ALL NIGHT...just be sure to tip the bartenders!
We have secured room blocks at several hotels in West Orange, NJ: Cambria, Courtyard at Marriott and The Wilshire Grande (site of all the wedding festivities). There will be a round trip shuttle available for guests staying at the Courtyard at Marriott if at least 10 rooms are booked. Please check the “Travel” tab on our website for the booking links.
We have no doubt that our loved ones will take some phenomenal photos, but we would prefer to have you focused on the love we share than your camera lens. We hired a great photographer and videographer who will capture every moment of the ceremony and we will be sure to share them with you. We DO want you to take all of the photos you can during the reception and post/share all night long; however, please refrain from posting the location or make sure your location is turned off in your phone settings.
We've been so blessed and your presence is gift enough, so we do not have a wedding registry. However, we have recently established a scholarship benefiting nursing and biology students at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University to represent our HBCU roots and the legacy of education left by our parents. So, please consider a donation to the scholarship as a gift to us: Please make checks payable to: North Carolina A&T Foundation In the memo line, please indicate: Natalane Gore-Williams Endowed Scholarship Checks can either be placed in the card box at the reception or mailed to: NCATSU/Advancement Operation 1601 E. Market St. Greensboro, NC 27411
