We encourage guests to wear formal or semi-formal attire. Think elegant, but comfortable—this is a celebration, after all!
In October, the weather here is typically mild and pleasant. It is a great transition from summer to fall. Daytime temperatures usually range from 60s to 70s, with cooler temperatures in the evenings. There may be a chance of showers during the month of October. If you get cold easily, advice bringing a jacket!
The ceremony and reception will be taking place indoors.
After the ceremony, everyone that is invited are more than welcome to start heading to the reception location! It is about a 20–25-minute drive from First Baptist. There will be signs to help direct you to the right location to park. Once you are there, you will be able to get your seat and drinks! The wedding party won't be too far behind y'all!
Yes! We wish we could celebrate with all of our loved ones, but due to venue limitations, the reception is invite-only. Thank you for understanding!
Due to the space limitations of our venue, we unfortunately have to limit the rehearsal dinner guest list to those who will be playing a role in the ceremony. We apologize in advance to those who are not included.
Help us get the party started as scheduled! We recommend that you arrive an hour before the start of the ceremony to make sure everyone is seated on time.
First Baptist Church is located near the downtown area on historic West Union Street. Parking is available in two main lots (East and West) and two smaller paved areas behind the church. Handicapped spaces are provided in the two main lots. We do recommend for everyone to park on the West Side, as it is closer to the sanctuary where the ceremony is located. Parking is free!
To ensure a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere, our wedding is an adults-only affair. We appreciate your understanding.
Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list to stay on budget. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation.
We are currently registered with Amazon and Target. To help us celebrate our honeymoon, we've set up a honeymoon fund as well. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated! You can Venmo or do a cash fund. Venmo: Katie_Gwaltney
