Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held at the same venue: Lone Oak Farm 1663 Davis Bridge Rd Parkton, North Carolina 28371 Both the ceremony and reception area are wheelchair accessible!
Our wedding ceremony and reception will be indoors, however our cocktail hour will be held outdoors in a gorgeous patio area as long as the weather allows.
We both have lots of friends and family who will be by our sides on our big day. Our "Wedding Party" tab lets you put names to faces, and get to know our loved ones!
Yes! We have reserved 10 rooms at the Holiday Inn in Hope Mills, under “CSW” or "Chatham-Smith Wedding". The address is 3111 N Main Street, Hope Mills, NC 28348, and the phone number is 910.429.9990. For more information about our hotel block, you can check under our "Travel" tab.
Our wedding dress code is "semi-formal". What does that mean? It's a dress code that calls for special event clothing that's trendy, relaxed and comfortable. Think of the dress code as attire that is dressier than what you would wear to work, but not as formal as what you would wear to black-tie or formal events. Men, we ask that you avoid wearing jeans and polo shirts please. Any color, pattern and style is welcome, we just ask that you don't wear all white to allow the bride to stand out! For a better understanding of what "semi-formal" means and looks like, you can visit https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-code-explained#toc-semi-formal-or-dressy-casual for inspo!
Our wedding will be late March, so the weather will be cooler. The historic average weather in Parkton, NC has been a high of 67° and a low of 41°, usually with a nice breeze. There may be some showers in the morning, followed by a couple of showers in the afternoon, so plan to bring a sweater and umbrella!
Unfortunately, we simply can’t allow for all of our lovely guests to bring a guest of their own. Therefore, we regretfully ask our guests to please not bring a plus one, unless they are specifically named on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!
As much as we would love lots of littles celebrating with us, we are only able to accommodate the children in the wedding party at our reception. Thank you!
During cocktail hour, we will be serving hors d'oeuvres, followed by a buffet dinner. There will be a wide variety of food to choose from that will accommodate any dietary restrictions that our guests may have!
Our registry is listed on this website under the "Registry" tab! Most of our items will be linked to amazon.
These are the times of the most important events at our wedding: Ceremony - 2:30pm Cocktail Hour - 3:00pm Reception - 4:00pm For a more detailed itinerary, you can look under our "Schedule" tab!
The bride will be walking down the aisle at 2:30pm, so we ask that you arrive 15-30 minutes before to find your seat!
There are lots of restaurants around town to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not only that, but there are lots of things to do if you're staying a few days. Our "Things To Do" tab has lots of our favorite places!
We ask that all of our guests be present with us by being unplugged during our wedding ceremony. We have an amazing wedding photographer to help us capture our special day! However, during cocktail hour and our reception, we encourage all of you to take as many pictures as you want. We will even have an app for you called "Photocircle" to upload all of your lovely pictures to!
Yes! We would love to see your pictures. Just make sure you tag us!
