Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We can’t wait to see you all dressed up! Our rehearsal dinner (all guests invited!) is more casual (think khakis and sundresses). The ceremony and reception will be more formal (cocktail attire). Raleigh in June will be hot so please feel free to dress light, we want everyone to be comfortable. And of course, don’t forget your dancing shoes!
Question
Where should we park on the day of the rehearsal?
Answer
Church parking info (If participating in wedding rehearsal) · Lot behind Cathedral; The entrance is on W. Edenton St. This is the closest to the church. ~16 spots. · Lot on corner of W. Edenton St. & Dawson St.; enter on W. Edenton St. ~8 spots. · Lot on corner of Hillsborough & Dawson Sts.; enter from either street. ~18 spots. The rehearsal dinner (all guests invited) is at Tobacco Road in Raleigh (505 W Jones St, Raleigh, NC 27603) and there is a parking deck called "Powerhouse Square Parking Deck" directly South of it (501 W Jones St, Raleigh, NC 27603). You can park there for three hours (should be plenty of time) for free. The deck uses a plate reader system. You just need to scan a QR code provided inside the restaurant and enter your license plate number. If you need longer parking, you'll need to scan the QR code again and provide payment information to extend the time.
