Wedding day!

5:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Attire is elegant garden party: full-length dresses and suits. Think daytime elegance with a touch of playfulness. This isn't the time for heavy fabrics or dark tones—instead, light materials, floral prints, and soft pastels reign supreme.

✨ Cocktail Hour & Dinner ✨ We’ll kick things off with a parade of tasty little apps during cocktail hour, followed by a delicious dinner buffet (because one plate is never enough). Add in an open bar + live music, and we’ve got ourselves a party! 🎶🍸 🛺 Getting There 🛺 No need to stress directions — we’ve got trolleys! Two of them will scoop everyone up at the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Cary (500 Caitboo Ave) at 4:00pm and roll you over to The Bradford by 4:30pm. Ceremony starts at 5:00pm sharp, so you’ll have plenty of time to sip and settle. ✨ 🚎 Getting Back 🚎 When the night winds down, you’ve got options: Early bird trolley leaves The Bradford at 9:00pm, back at the DoubleTree by 9:30pm. Night owls, stick around — two more trolleys leave at 10:00pm. 🎉 After Party! 🎉 Still have party fuel left? We’ll be at Sports & Social Cary (301 Fenton Gateway Dr) for an informal after party. It’s just across the highway from the hotels, with plenty of Ubers to help you get there.
