Semi-formal / garden party attire is perfect. Please wear nice but comfortable shoes suitable for both Mass and an outdoor reception in the grass. Consider bringing a light jacket—it may be cool in the evening.
The ceremony begins at 11:00 AM at St. Francis of Assisi in Raleigh. We recommend arriving between 10:30 - 10:45 AM to allow time for parking and seating. There is plenty of parking at the church. We will not have his or her sides - a seat anywhere closer to the center of the church is fine.
The reception will be held at a private property on Stagecoach Road in Durham that we have rented for the weekend - Friday to Sunday. The property includes a main house, guest house, indoor and outdoor tennis courts. There will be signage and parking assistance on site.
September weather in North Carolina can be warm and unpredictable. If it rains, we will either move the reception into the indoor tennis court space on the property or use a large tent to cover the outdoor space—so no need to worry!
We are not providing group transportation, so we recommend planning your own ride. It’s about a 25 minute drive from the church to the reception venue.
Please refer to your invitation. We kindly ask that only those listed attend, to help us plan comfortably in advance of our big day.
Yes! Children are welcome to attend both the ceremony and reception. We will have some outdoor games for the kids at the reception space.

Feel free to bring what you need - strollers, baby carriers, booster seats, strollers, diaper bags and changing pads etc. Please let us know if you need accommodations in advance.
