The ceremony and reception will be held at the same venue, Highgrove Estate in Fuquay-Varina, NC (just outside of Raleigh, NC). There will be greeters to direct you to the ceremony from the parking lot. Please note, weather permitting, the ceremony will take place outdoors, however, the reception will be held indoors.
After the ceremony, the wedding party will be taking photos. The event coordinator will direct you to cocktail hour.

We have a limited number of rooms available at our host hotel. See our "Travel & Accommodations" tab for details. Please note, you must reserve your room by August 2, 2023.
We have a strict guest list, if your invitation says "and Guest," then yes. If not, please refrain from inviting anyone not listed on your invitation.
While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only (21+) event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
