Semi-formal meets Sunday best! Think cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, suits, blazers, or a sharp button-down. Polished but comfortable, we want you feeling good, looking good, and ready to hit the dance floor.

We did not block out rooms, so feel free to book a room where you feel most comfortable. We recommend choosing a hotel closer to the reception. There are also several options in Garner which is in between the ceremony and reception. If a hotel isn't your vibe, there are also plenty of airbnb's in the area. Reach out to Hayley or Jake if you have any questions.
Yes, we are happy to accommodate most food allergies and dietary restrictions! To keep things easy and fun we’ve opted to bring in a food truck for dinner. They have a gluten free menu and vegetarian options. Please let us know ahead of time if you have any dietary restrictions so we can accommodate accordingly.
To ensure we can accommodate all our beloved guests, only those explicitly named on your invitation are included. Thank you for understanding!
No, all wedding centered events are listed on the schedule page.
Yes, there will be parking available at the gardens. It is public so please arrive a little early. For the reception you are welcome to park anywhere in front of our home and the neighbors. Additionally, there is parking at the front of the neighborhood by the tennis courts.
We're lucky to have lots of little ones in our family and would love to celebrate with them! Invitations addressed to "The ___ Family" include your children. While kids are welcome, we kindly ask that they're respectful during the ceremony. Please note that alcohol will be served at the reception, so use your discretion. In short: children are welcome, but the party vibe is generally geared toward the grown-ups!
We know, there's a chunk of time! The bride and groom wanted plenty of time for pictures at the gardens and travel time. We've listed a few recommendations on the "Things to do" page. To name a few: stroll the gardens and take photos, check out deep river brewery in Clayton, grab some ice cream at Celtic Creamery in Clayton, take a power nap so you're ready to partyyyy!
It's about 25 minutes with plenty of places to stop in between if needed.
