Question

Can I get a ride from Nashville or Chattanooga?

Answer

You can always take a Groome shuttle from Nashville to Monteagle, and in fact it brings you right to the Smokehouse Inn. There is also a RIDESHARE document on the "travel" section of the website, or just go here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hjc-YBJvSQHSmG-vNLR2-O3o0mck6iabxpwHW9Q_iko/edit#gid=0 You can fill in the sheet if you're OFFERING a ride to folks or SEEKING one, and who knows you may even make a new friend!

Question

What should I expect on the day of the wedding?

Answer

The wedding ceremony and reception will both be at Cove Creek Farm in Monteagle. It is a working farm that rotationally grazes cows, goats and chickens to improve pasture health. You may see and smell animals during your time on the farm! Additionally, you will be walking on grass so please plan your footwear accordingly. The wedding ceremony site is a short walk from the reception area and you will be walking through the maintained pasture. Generally, late April temperatures in Southeast Tennessee are mild - average daytime high for 4/27 is 70 and the evening low is 49. We timed the wedding to happen during the warmest hours of the day, but of course keep an eye on the forecast to help you decide if you'll need an extra layer or a jacket to stay comfortable.

Question

I'm coming from out of town and wondering if I should pack a rain jacket?

Answer

YES. Spring is the rainiest time in Southeast Tennessee and it's what makes it possible for our woods to come alive. While we're hoping for sunny skies on our wedding day, it's likely that you will experience a shower or two during your time here. If you plan on hiking, you definitely don't the rain to keep you from going - that's the best time to be out there!

Question

For kiddos attending the wedding, will childcare be available?

Answer

Yes, we are providing childcare. Please contact Emily at emily.kathryn.heid@gmail.com for more details.
