FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We're keeping things classy and comfortable. For Saturday, wear something weather-appropriate with shoes that will do okay in grass and unpaved surfaces. The reception area is flat and covered, but the ceremony and cocktail hour will be in the yard in shady areas. The ceremony and reception will be entirely outdoors so keep an eye on the forecast! For the Friday Welcome Party, think "nice casual".

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 3:30pm on Saturday September 2nd, so please plan to arrive by 3:15pm.

Question

When does the reception end?

Answer

The reception will end at 10:15pm. All guests must be off the property by 11pm.

Question

What are the transport options to and from the wedding venue?

Answer

There will be shuttle buses available from downtown Chapel Hill to Windy Hill Farm and back. If you plan to use the shuttle on the front-end, please meet at the front of the AC Hotel (214 W Rosemary St, Chapel Hill, NC 27516) by no later than 2:10pm. The shuttles will leave by 2:30pm. The buses will leave from Windy Hill Farm between 10-10:30pm and will drop off at at the pickup location. The trip will take about 30-40 minutes. We recommend using the shuttles if you plan to be at the entire ceremony and reception. Uber/Lyft should work for getting to the venue, but availability will be limited for returning from the venue. For those who do not wish to use the shuttle for the return trip and do not have a car, we can provide taxi service recommendations. Yellow Diamond taxi company looks to be a good option (919-729-5040, https://yellowdiamondrdutaxi.com/) Parking is available at the venue. You are able to leave your car parked overnight but it must be picked up by 11am on Sunday.
