Answer

Question

If I am traveling from out of town, are there hotel accommodations for me to stay nearby?

Answer

Absolutely! We highly recommend booking your stay at Dancing Bear Lodge where the ceremony and reception will take place, so there is no need to commute. Some hotel options outside of Dancing Bear Lodge can be found on our "Travel" page. Due to the holiday weekend and high demand, we strongly encourage everyone to book their accommodations as early as possible.

Question

Will there be shuttles provided to take me to/from the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Unfortunately, there will not be any shuttles provided. If you are staying at Dancing Bear Lodge, you will be within walking distance to the ceremony and reception. For those commuting from other hotels and resorts, free parking is offered at Dancing Bear Lodge near the Event Center and Appalachian Bistro. Overflow parking can be found near the Apple Valley Mountain Village & Cafe, located at the bottom of Dancing Bear Lodge entrance.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will be outdoors. The ceremony will take place on the Event Lawn, and the reception with be under the Event Landing pavilion. We suggest that everyone dress accordingly, and look ahead at the forecast beforehand. The weather this time of year typically ranges around 70-80 degrees during the day and drops to the low 60's in the evening.

Question

What happens if it rains?

Answer

Of course the bride and groom are hopeful for beautiful weather on their wedding day, but we can never predict what Mother Nature will bring. There is a back-up plan indoors at the Event Center.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

With our wedding being outdoors, we want our guests to be comfortable! We recommend wearing semi-casual or cocktail attire, suiting for a rustic Tennessee wedding.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Question

Why did the groom's last name change?

Answer

We apologize about any confusion. Chris recently changed his last name from Rogers to King, to carry on the legacy of his late grandfather and mother. It has been something that he has wanted to do for a long time now. We are happy and proud to carry on the King name as husband and wife, and pass it down to our future children.
