Our dress code is semi-formal summer wedding. We would like to encourage you to be comfortable (dress light for the weather). And don't be afraid to have fun with it!
The weather in North Carolina in June can range from pleasant to fairly hot - make sure you dress light but bring a range of layers. During the day, the weather might average ~85 degrees, and is usually pleasant at night. We might also get a few summer thunderstorms. The ceremony will be outside mostly in shade, and the reception will be indoors with AC.
Whatever you feel comfortable wearing. It is a gravel path to the ceremony site, and there is lawn open to guests during cocktail hour but the lawn can be avoided if you are in heels.
Please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony, but otherwise feel free.
Sure! We consider your presence at the wedding the only gift we need, but if you feel inclined to bring one, we will have a gift/card table at the wedding.
Here is a list of our favorites! These spots are all walkable within downtown. - Durham Food Hall: indoor food hall with variety of options for everyone - Niko's in Brightleaf: Greek with a fun atmosphere (recommend a reservation) - M Pocha: Asian small plates (recommend a reservation) - Pizzeria Toro: classic Durham staple for wood-fired pizza - Bull McCabe's Irish Pub: casual pub-style food & beers with great outdoor seating - Luna Rotisserie: our first ever dinner date spot, Latin American rotisserie meats
Absolutely! There are lots of Airbnb options in Durham. Generally we would recommend staying in accommodations downtown or near the venue for convenience. Durham's downtown is walkable and full of great restaurants/bars to explore. I would generally recommend staying south of I-85 and west of Alston St. Feel free to text us at 509-899-1871 if you have questions!
