Please RSVP by August 7, 2026, so we can finalize all of the details for the big day. If we have not received your RSVP by that date, we will assume you are unable to attend and unfortunately will not be able to reserve a seat for you, as we must provide a final headcount to the venue.
The bar will be open during cocktail hour and is a fully hosted open bar, so all drinks are taken care of for our guests. After cocktail hour, the bar will close for about an hour during the speeches and special dances so everyone can give their attention to those moments. If you’d like a drink during that time, please be sure to grab one before cocktail hour ends!
We are having an unplugged ceremony, which means we kindly ask guests to put away phones and cameras. We’ve invested in professional photography to capture every moment, and we’d love for you to be fully present with us during this special time. (P.S. If my wedding planner or I see a phone during the ceremony, my wedding planner will say something LOL)
Due to limited space and a high guest count, we are only able to accommodate the names listed on your formal invitation. We appreciate you're understanding and cooperation.
Only the guests listed on the invitations are invited to attend. We kindly ask that other little ones be cared for by a babysitter for the day, as space is limited. Thank you for understanding!
Our wedding will take place on November 7, 2026. The ceremony begins at 2:00 PM, but we kindly ask guests to arrive by 1:30 PM to allow time for seating. The reception will start at 4:30 PM and continue until 10:00 PM.
The ceremony will be held at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral, 📍 715 Nazareth St, Raleigh, NC 27606. Ample parking is available at the entrance. The reception will take place at Chandelier Wedding Venue, 1077 Darrington Dr, Cary, NC 27513, where parking is also available near the entrance.
The celebration will be formal attire. We’d love to see our guests dressed to impress!
The ceremony will begin at 2 PM, and the reception will continue until 10 PM. Get ready for a full day of love, laughter, and dancing!
Please let us know about any dietary restrictions or allergies when you RSVP so we can make sure you’re taken care of. And please let us know what you would like for dinner in advance on your RSVP for each person, so our reception is ready.
Our ceremony will be a traditional Catholic Mass lasting about an hour and a half. If you prefer to attend only the reception, you are more than welcome to join us there instead—just be sure to RSVP for whichever part(s) you plan to attend.
For our loved ones traveling from out of town, there are many wonderful places to stay in Raleigh! We recommend booking early, as November is a busy time in the area.
We do not have transportation arranged for guests between the ceremony and reception or to and from the venues. We recommend carpooling, rideshares, or arranging your own transportation to ensure you arrive comfortably and on time.
