Question

🚗 Do I need a car?

Answer

Yes — you’ll want one. This is more “backroads and views” than “Uber everywhere.”

Question

✈️ Where is the best airport to fly into?

Answer

The best (and really only practical) airport for Pigeon Forge is: ✈️ McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) Fly into Knoxville (TYS) — it’s about 45 minutes from Pigeon Forge and the easiest option. Super easy airport to get in and out of. Grab a rental car and it’s a straight shot to Pigeon Forge.

Question

📍 How do I get to the venue?

Answer

It’s tucked away a bit — we recommend using Google Maps or Apple Maps and giving yourself extra time, especially with holiday traffic. Cell service can be spotty, so screenshot directions before heading out.

Question

🚐 Is transportation provided?

Answer

If you’re staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Pigeon Forge with us, transportation to the venue will be provided. Otherwise, we recommend driving or arranging a ride with friends. There will be parking available at the venue. Plan ahead for a safe ride home if you’ll be celebrating.

Question

👠 What shoes should I wear?

Answer

The ceremony is on a lawn and parts of the reception (including dancing) will be outside, so dress your feet accordingly. Block heels, boots, or flats will be your friend - wear stilettos at your own risk!

Question

🌿 Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Ceremony outside, dinner inside, dancing back outside. It’ll be late November in the mountains — bring a jacket.

Question

👗 What is the dress code?

Answer

Romantic, elevated, and comfortable — dresses and suits are perfect, with outdoor elements in mind. Bring a jacket or outer layer of your choice!

Question

🕺 What’s the vibe of the reception?

Answer

Relaxed, fun, and very much “stay as long as you want.” Not overly formal, not rushed — just a good night together. We’ll be celebrating into the evening — we’ll be heading out around 9:30, but the party continues.

Question

🍸 Will there be dinner and an open bar?

Answer

Of course! Dinner and drinks are on us. Dancing is all you.

Question

🪑➕ Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

If your invitation includes one, absolutely. Due to strict fire marshal limits, the guest count is very rigid. If not, we promise you’ll know plenty of people there.

Question

🎁 Where are you registered?

Answer

Your presence is truly the best gift. If you’d like to contribute, you can find our registry on this site.

Question
