Please RSVP by February 15, 2025 - or as soon as you can so we can best plan for your presence.
The ceremony will be held in an open meadow. We have a rain tent on retainer just in case. Our reception will be under a open-air tent in the woods. No parts of the wedding will be fully indoors. Plan accordingly. Check the weather ahead of the wedding in case you'll want an umbrella, sun protection, or a light jacket.
YES! In fact this is the only way to get to/from the wedding venue. A shuttle service will be provided between the Hampton Inn & Suites (Pittsboro) and Annelise Island (venue). See "Travel" tab for more information.
No. See "Travel" tab for info about the shuttle.
We're going for a "springtime cocktail party in the meadow" vibe. Think nice suits, cocktail dresses, fancy jumpsuits, button-ups and a tie, etc. It's formal without being stuffy, and comfortable without being sloppy. Reach out if you have questions. NOTE: You will be walking on gravel paths and in a meadow. Choose footwear accordingly (ie: flats, wedges, or other shoes that won't sink into the earth).
No. Children will not be allowed at the ceremony or reception. Please let us know ASAP if help with childcare will enable you to celebrate with us.
No. Your time and effort to join us at our wedding is the only gift we wish for. However, if you insist on giving us something, we would be touched if you make a donation in our honor to one of three organizations that are important to us: Bean Voyage, Queer Mobilization Fund, or the Haw River Assembly.
The hotel and wedding are in Pittsboro, about 45 minutes away from downtown Raleigh or Durham. You are welcome to stay in/explore these cities during your trip, but plan to catch the shuttle to the wedding at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Pittsboro at 4:30pm on the wedding day.
