Question

Will transportation between venues and to/from the hotel be available for out of town guests?

​We are not offering transportation to the wedding since our guests are scattered at many different hotels. Cabs (we recommend Durham's Best Cab Company), as well as Uber and Lyft are available in Durham so that everyone can be safe on the road.

Question

What is the dress code for the wedding day?

Answer

The dress code is festive cocktail! Men, we suggest you wear suits, please. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside in the grass, so ladies you may want to plan your shoes accordingly. Additionally, fall in North Carolina can be unpredictable. A scarf or wrap might be advisable. Guests will be having dinner outside under a tent!
