FAQs
Question
Did My Invitation Get Lost in the Mail?
Answer
Sadly, yes, your invitation might have gotten lost in the mail... or more likely, it never arrived because we’re keeping the guest list extra small. If you think you should’ve been invited, feel free to text the bride—though we can’t promise we’ll have room for you. We’ll still be thinking of you while we’re celebrating (and probably eating cake without you)!
Question
Dress Code?
Answer
Black Tie! Yes, we’re fancy! So dust off that tuxedo or slip into that elegant gown. It’s black tie, which means we want to see you looking sharp—this is not the time for flip-flops or sweatpants (unless you’re really pulling off the chic, "I don’t care" look). Let’s make this a night to remember in style!
Question
Oops, Forgot to RSVP?
Answer
No worries! If you forgot to RSVP, you're still totally welcome to join us—just bring a sandwich and a chair, because we’re running on a tight budget and extra seats are in high demand. We’ll save you a spot and a smile!
Question
What about my kids?
Answer
By Special Invitation Only! We love kids, but due to space (and our need for some quiet moments), we're keeping the guest list limited to those under 13 who’ve received a formal invite. Don’t worry—there will still be plenty of fun for the adults! Feel free to leave the little ones at home and enjoy a night off!
Question
Why Is the Wedding So Far Away?
Answer
Well, it’s only fair, right? If we have to travel a little (okay, a lot) for this wedding, so do you! But hey, it’s the Smoky Mountains—who wouldn’t want to make the journey for stunning views, good company, and cake? Plus, think of it as a mini adventure before the big day!
Question
Where Should I Stay?
Answer
How About Elkmont Campground? If you're feeling adventurous (and want to join the wedding party), the Elkmont Campground is where we’ll be cozying up in tents and making memories. It’s right in the heart of the Smoky Mountains—because what better way to celebrate than camping out with the wedding crew? Forget room service; you’ll have the great outdoors, a campfire, and probably some squirrels trying to crash your party. It's a short trek to the wedding venue, so you’ll be close enough to make it in time (even if you’re slightly grumpy from lack of sleep... and possibly too much s’mores). Come for the wedding, stay for the nature vibes!
Question
Is there a group hotel rate or block of rooms?
Answer
We’re keeping it cozy with the Elkmont Campground as our base camp! There’s no fancy hotel block, but we’ve got plenty of spots for tents, campervans, and maybe even a hammock or two. It’s the perfect way to embrace the great outdoors and join the wedding party in the wild! Just be sure to book early, so you don’t miss out on the fun (and the stars)!
Question
Are there any activities or recommendations for things to do in the area?
Answer
We’re in the Smokies, folks! Strap on those hiking boots, put your phone on airplane mode, and go enjoy the natural beauty God gave us. Whether it’s a scenic hike, wildlife spotting, or simply soaking in the views, there’s no shortage of breathtaking adventures waiting for you in these mountains!
Question
Is there parking available at the venue?
Answer
Yes, there is parking available at the venue! Just follow the signs and be on the lookout for some friendly faces directing you. We recommend arriving a little early to snag the best spots and avoid any “I had to park a mile away” complaints. See you there!
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
Absolutely! We love the idea of capturing moments, so feel free to snap away. Just please, no leaning into the aisle—we don’t want anyone blocking the view or tripping over their own camera! And, if you get any amazing shots, we’d absolutely love it if you could send them our way after the big day!
Question
Can I bring a plus-one or children to the wedding?
Answer
The guest list is extra exclusive—this wedding is by direct formal invitation only! If you’ve got a plus-one invite, bring them along to celebrate with us! As for kids, we love them, but due to space, they're welcome only by invitation. If you’ve received an invite for your little ones, we can’t wait to see them! Otherwise, enjoy a kid-free night of fun and celebration!
Question
What is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
Please let us know if you’ll be joining us by June 30th! After that, we might have to start sending out wedding party "stalking" teams to track you down. Help us plan the celebration of a lifetime and let us know by the deadline!
Question
Is there a gift registry?
Answer
Yes, we have a registry! You can find us on Amazon and Honeyfund—where we’re hoping to fund our dream honeymoon and wedding extras. But let’s be real, we’ll happily accept cash too (because who doesn’t love the gift of flexibility?). No pressure, just lots of love and appreciation!
Question
Will there be a live band/DJ, or is there a playlist?
Answer
We’re keeping it cool with a wedding playlist! Each guest will be asked to recommend one song to add to the mix, but remember—ultimate playlist control is in the hands of the bride and groom. So, while we love your suggestions, we might just be picky about the choices! Get ready to dance to a mix of our favorites, with a little bit of your flair thrown in.
