Q & A

Question

What time should I arrive to the wedding?

Answer

The ceremony will start at four o'clock in the afternoon, so we suggest arriving between three-thirty and three-forty-five to have ample time to park your vehicle and find a seat.

Question

Where will the events take place?

Answer

The ceremony will be held indoors in the chapel, the cocktail hour will be held outdoors with a covered patio, and the reception will be held indoors in the reception space. The entire event will take place on the same property - so there will be no need to move your vehicle or have any change in location!

Please see the travel section of the website for all questions and answers relating to traveling, parking and transportation to the wedding.

Question

Do you have a hotel block?

Answer

Yes! We will have a hotel block at the Hampton Inn McMinnville, which is about 15 minutes from the venue. We will have rooms blocked from October 1st-October 4th 2025. To book under our block, you may call the hotel directly at (931) 473-0009 with the dates you plan to stay and the group code, or you go to Hilton.com and search your dates of stay and put the group code in under "special rates" to find the block as well.
