Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please plan to arrive by 3:30pm. It takes at least ~15 minutes to get through Security & Seated at the Ceremony. We HIGHLY recommend you leave Cary 1-hour prior to the ceremony start time.

To help us with our planning, we ask that you kindly RSVP by August 18, 2025. If we don't receive your RSVP by the date specified, we cannot make any exceptions and will have to mark you as a 'no'.
