FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony begins promptly at 3:00pm. Being that the ceremony is taking place downtown Raleigh, NC, please arrive between 2:15pm-2:30pm to allow time for parking and finding your seat. Out of respect for the bride and groom, late arrivals will not be permitted to enter once the ceremony begins. You will need to wait until its over. We kindly ask that you arrive early so you don't miss a moment!

Question

When should I RSVP?

Answer

Please RSVP by Monday, July 6, 2026. You can RSVP on our wedding website. If you have not responded by this date, we will unfortunately have to mark you down as "not attending." We would love to celebrate with you however, we have to provide our exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVPs.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

In order to keep our wedding as intimate as possible, only the guest formally invited on your wedding invitation will be accommodated. If you do receive a plus one, it will appear when you RSVP.

Question

Are children welcomed?

Answer

While we love your little ones, this is strictly an adult-only(21+) occasion with the exception of our ring bearer. We encourage you to use this evening to enjoy a night out without the kids. Children will not be allowed in the ceremony or reception. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We are having an "UNPLUGGED" ceremony. This means we are asking all phones and other devices be put away and on silent/turned off during our ceremony. The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say "I do", we have hired professionals to capture this moment for us and we promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like!

What is the dress code?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress to impress. Need some inspiration? Women please wear floor length formal or midi length formal cocktail dresses.
