Our Wedding
5:30 pm - 11:00 pm
500 N Blount St, Raleigh, NC 27604
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome as well as suits, cocktail dress, or any attire that makes you feel your best!
Our wedding day will begin with a ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres, and a reception featuring dinner and dancing. We can’t wait to celebrate this special day with you! The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 pm; we kindly ask guests to arrive and settle in with time to spare. For those driving, parking will be available in the lot across from Merrimon-Wynne starting at 5:00 pm.
Happily Ever After-Party
Fri, May 9, 2025, 11:00 pm - Sat, May 10, 2025, 1:00 am
3 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh, NC 27603
For those who want to boogie all night long, we'll keep the good times going at The Avenue! This spot features indoor & outdoor seating, fire pits, fun tunes, and even a life-size chess set. Fair warning: Groomsman Joe Lerro will likely be demanding everyone join him on the dance floor. We've arranged for The Great Raleigh Trolley to shuttle guests from the end of our reception to the after-party. The Avenue is conveniently located across the street from one of our hotel blocks, The Casso.

Day After Draughts
2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
1053 East Whitaker Mill Road, Raleigh, NC 27604
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
We've heard that wedding days can go by in a blur, so we’d love the chance to spend a bit more quality time together! Join us for a casual visit at our favorite brewery - stay for a quick hello or linger awhile, whatever suits your Saturday. LBC has ample indoor & outdoor seating, makes some of our favorite local craft beers, is kid and dog friendly, and offers non-alcoholic options. Fresh Southern-inspired food is available for purchase here as well!

A Sweet Send-Off
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Casual Attire: We'll be cozying up as newlyweds, feel free to come comfortable!
If you're sticking around until Sunday, we'd love to send you off with a sweet farewell. Our house is located between Downtown Raleigh and RDU airport, so we welcome you to stop by before your flight for locally roasted coffee, tea, artisanal doughnuts, and final hugs. Tepuy doughnuts are handcrafted sourdough treats made by a friend and local business owner. We consider them the best in Raleigh, and can't think of a sweeter way to wrap up our wedding weekend and wish you all a Happy Mother's Day! Please note, our house has stairs.
