Travel

For those traveling by plane, we recommend flying to Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). The wedding venue is close to downtown Durham and there are lots of nearby Airbnb/VRBO and hotel options! For those interested, we have room blocks/discount codes at a couple of hotels:

Durham Marriott City Center
201 Foster Street
Durham, North Carolina 27701

Use this link to book a discounted room as part of the block! The last day to book is May 23, 2025.

The Durham
315 E. Chapel Hill St
Durham, North Carolina 27701

We don't have a block so rooms may not be together, but you can use this link or rate code “WSR” to book discounted rooms!

Questions & Answers

If you have questions not answered here, reach out to us at us@ashtonandethan.com and we would love to help!

What should I wear?

Honestly, we don't really understand the dress code category distinctions. We care much more about you being there than what you are wearing! Feel free to wear a suit, tuxedo, polo shirt and khakis, dress of any length/fabric/silhouette, jumpsuit, skirt and blouse, lehenga, or anything else that suits you.

What will the weather be like?

Durham is likely to be hot (highs in the 80s) and humid in June. That being said, all parts of the wedding will be held indoors, except for a short (30 foot) uncovered walk between the ballroom and front room.

What will the food be like?

We love brunch food so that is what we wanted to have at our wedding! We will share the full menu closer to the event, but in the meantime think breakfast tacos, chicken & waffles, etc. You will be able to tell us about any dietary restrictions when you RSVP and we will make sure there is food for you!

Tentative RSVP

There is no need to RSVP yet, but you are welcome to let us know whether you think you will be there! This is non-binding and you will get an invitation either way!
