Currently, as with most of the country, NC is mask-optional for those who are fully vaccinated. We ask that if you are NOT fully vaccinated, you wear a mask indoors to protect yourself because we love you, duh! Our COVID numbers have remained low all summer, with a positive rate under 5%. Currently, between 40-50% of our county is fully vaccinated.
At this current time, we have been told that St. Martin's Episcopal Church is requiring masks indoors, even for fully vaccinated people. We are inquiring into this situation, and will keep you all posted if the situation changes. In the event this does not change, or you just feel more comfortable with one on, we will provide paper masks in case you forget one! Our dinner venue, however, is mask-optional for vaccinated guests.
COVID was quite a little prankster on us with wedding planning since Dec. 2019. Because we had to do so much rescheduling and cancelling, our weekend will look a little untraditional, a little something like this: Ceremony at St. Martin's Episcopal Church Dinner & Drinks at The Duke Mansion Drinks, Dancing and Small Bites at Legion Brewing Co. (for those who still have energy!)
You are welcome to drive your own vehicle or take Uber/Lyft. All locations are within 3 miles of each other. We are, however, currently working on finding shuttle availability.
HOT & HUMID! Welcome to the South! The humidity down here is no joke in August. The hotel has a lovely indoor pool with an outdoor deck and a gorgeous gym if you can't stand the heat but still want to get a workout or a swim in. It is also during the height of hurricane season, so be sure to check the weather before packing in case you need an umbrella! Our venues are all indoor and air conditioned!
