Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Question

will we be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

both the ceremony and reception will be outdoors. there is no cover for the ceremony, but there is a large tent for the reception. we do have a rain plan in place in the event there is rain.

Question

I'm not from the area. What kind of weather should I expect?

Answer

north carolina weather can be very unpredictable. october tends to be the most beautiful time of the year (in fact, our favorite time of year). temperatures can range from mid-50s to high 70s, and the morning temperature is usually much lower than what it will be in the afternoon. we highly recommend that you pack layers! if the weather is particularly cold that day, we will have heaters inside of our reception tent, and blankets during our ceremony. essentially, check the weather before you go!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

the dress code will be semi-formal wedding attire (no halloween costumes).

Question

how accessible is the venue?
