Yes! The Umstead provides complimentary valet parking for all wedding attendees. When you arrive, please pull up to the front of the hotel entrance and a valet attendant will assist you.
The ceremony will be held outdoors, as well as our cocktail hour. Our reception will be held indoors.
We have several rooms available at the wedding hotel, The Umstead. We recommend guests stay at the Embassy Suites across the road or another local hotel. There are also many local AirBnBs in the area.
We’re excited to celebrate with you in style! We are requesting semi-formal attire for our wedding. This includes mid/floor length dresses or pantsuits for women, and suits for men. Please no jeans. Please feel free to wear any color other than white!
November in Raleigh is usually quite pleasant! You can expect average temperatures ranging from a comfortable high of 60-70°F to a cool low of 40-50°F. It’s the perfect time for enjoying the beautiful fall foliage, so be sure to dress in layers and enjoy the lovely autumn vibes!
We love kids! However, we’ve decided to have an adult-only ceremony and reception. We hope you understand, and we look forward to celebrating with you!
The ceremony will begin around 4:15 PM, so we kindly ask that you arrive early enough to be seated by 4:00 PM. This will ensure everyone is settled in and ready to celebrate this special moment with us.
Our reception will conclude at 10 PM, but the celebration doesn’t have to end there! We invite you to continue the festivities with us in downtown Raleigh. We’ll share the location and more details soon on this.
If you received a plus one, your guest's name is listed on your invitation and will appear under your name when you RSVP. Otherwise, we would love to keep the wedding as an intimate event with close friends and family.
We would like everyone to RSVP by September 26, 2025. An exact guest count is needed to provide to our vendors.
