Wear your best black! We kindly ask all guests to wear black attire to create a timeless and elegant look. Semi‑formal to formal is perfect—ladies might choose a black dress or jumpsuit, and gentlemen may wear a black suit or sports coat with the option of a white dress shirt. Thank you for helping us set the tone for a beautiful celebration! Pinterest board linked for some additional inspiration! https://pin.it/4uOISYJqj
The ceremony will be starting promptly at 3:30pm. Please plan to arrive around 3:00-3:15pm to ensure you have plenty of time to grab your welcome drink, find your seat, and settle in.
The RSVP deadline is December 12, 2025. We do ask that our guests RSVP via the tab on this website to keep the most accurate count for our venue and vendors!
We'd love to include everyone, but due to limited space, only guests who received a plus one on their invitation can bring a guest. Your invite will be made out to "(Your Name) & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for understanding!
The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will be held at The Elia in Wilmington, NC.
There is paid street parking in front of the venue on Front Street, however that is first come first serve. There are also paid parking garages across the street and around the corner from the venue. Most hotels in the area offer free or paid parking for their guests, and the venue is centrally located to a number of hotels (check out the travel tab!). We want our guests to have a good time and not have to worry about driving, though! Uber is always a great choice too ;)
Only children in the wedding party or immediate family will be invited. We do ask that all other children be left at home! Enjoy this night as a date night :)
We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. We’re having an unplugged ceremony so everyone can be fully present with us. Don’t worry—we’ve hired a wonderful professional photographer to capture every moment, and we’ll happily share those photos with you afterward! You are more than welcome to take your own photos once the ceremony has ended.
