Coffee!
Gray Squirrel Coffee is right next to the hotel and just so happens to be a favorite. Epilogue has great coffee and loads of books.
Breakfast!
Walk over to Brandwein's Bagels or Neal's Deli for a casual breakfast.
Check out Breakaway Cafe or Carolina Coffee Shop for something seated.
Lunch!
Carrburritos is a long-time favorite and a Carrboro staple. Spotted Dog is great, especially if you're looking for something creative and plant-based. Head to Med Deli for something incredible, provided they've reopened by then (there was a fire. It sucked.).
The Arts!
Head to campus for the Ackland Art Museum and Coker Arboretum.
See some funky art and zines across from the hotel at Peel or next door at the Carrboro Arts Center.
Travel!
The closest airport is Raleigh-Durham International (RDU). It's ~25 minutes away from Carrboro. There's not a public transit option from the airport to the hotel, but rideshare apps and airport taxis are readily available.
Dress code!
The vibe is "Cocktail," but it'd be pretty rad if you wore something colorful.
Transportation!
Transportation will be provided from the Hampton Inn in downtown Carrboro to and from the venue, including an early departure bus for those who want to fit in a quick nap before the afterparty. Free parking is available in the garage behind the Hampton Inn, provided graciously by the city of Carrboro.
Weather!
Our wedding will be an indoor/outdoor event (weather permitting), and November in North Carolina can be chilly. Or it can be hot. Plan on sitting outside for the ceremony.
Children!
Our wedding is 18+... for legal reasons.
Registry!
A honeymoon? In this economy? We met in our thirties so we kinda have all the stuff. We'll just be taking your assuredly generous donations to our honeymoon fund, if that's okay.
