A great place to grab lunch or dinner with a big group of people! We love to come here for lunch after church on Sunday.
Transfer Food Hall is another great place to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner with a big group of people. Our favorite food stalls are Benchwarmer Bagels (get the grit bagel and some Counter Culture Coffee) and Captain Cookie and the Milkman!
A Place at the Table is Raleigh's only "pay as you can" cafe, ensuring that our neighbors are fed! It's delicious, easy to get to, and a ministry partner with our church ESUMC.
The BEST burgers and fries in the city of Raleigh! It is very family-friendly.
A fun place to grab wine and charcuterie while in town!
A favorite date spot for us! We love to play skeeball and Mario Kart together here. It's family-friendly, but it does have a bar.
The museum is next to our church, ESUMC, and wonderful free activity for our out-of-town guests looking for something to do on Saturday morning. The cafe, Daily Planet, is also a great place for lunch before the wedding ceremony.
We invite you to attend a Sunday morning service at our church, ESUMC! The traditional service is held in the main sanctuary at 8:30 and 10:30 am. There is also a contemporary service at 10:30 am in Kerr Hall.
Please have the RSVP returned via the mail by Dec. 1.
Please see the registry section of our website. We are registered at Pottery Barn, Zola, and Dillards. We are also accepting cash gifts if that works better for you!
We suggest no later than 3:45. The ceremony will start promptly at 4:00. The ushers will not let you into the service after this time
Yes! We are so excited to have a traditional United Methodist wedding ceremony with open table communion at our church, Edenton Street UMC. We love our church and are so excited to share it with our closest friends and family!
We kindly request that you wear formal attire. We're expecting dark suits or tuxedos for men and long dresses/skirts for women because of the wintery January date, but cocktail attire is also acceptable.
Reception venue details will be on your formal invitation. The venue is near Moore Square in downtown Raleigh.
There is ample parking at ESUMC and the wedding venue is a short, safe distance to the venue! You may also drive and park near the reception venue or your nearby hotel. The Great Raleigh Trolly will also be available to give you a lift to the reception from the church!
Please enter the first and last name of one member of your party below.
