Is there a dress code?

Answer

We kindly request that guests dress in semi-formal attire to complement the indoor setting of our celebration. Appropriate attire includes: Women: Cocktail dresses, midi or evening dresses, or refined dressy separates Men: Suits or dress trousers paired with a button-down shirt; ties are encouraged but optional To maintain the formality of the occasion, we kindly ask that jeans, sneakers, and overly casual attire be avoided. We encourage guests to choose polished, comfortable looks suitable for an evening indoor event.

We kindly ask that you arrive between 3:45 PM and 4:20 PM at the Durham Armory, located at 212 Foster Street, Durham, NC 27701, to allow ample time for parking, warm greetings, and being seated.

Will alcohol be served?

Answer

Yes! We’ll have an open bar with beer, wine, and cocktails available all night — plus a selection of non-alcoholic drinks for anyone skipping the booze. We kindly ask that you drink responsibly — rideshares and taxis are easy to catch in downtown Durham if you need one at the end of the night.
