FAQs
Question
Where will the ceremony and reception take place?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception will take place at A Kings Lodge on Clabo Rd in Wears Valley, TN.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We simply ask that you don’t wear jeans or sneakers! We want you to be comfortable, but neat, there will be lots of photos and videos being taken! It is important to note that we are planning for our ceremony AND reception to be outdoors in November, so it would be best to avoid stiletto heels, and bring a jacket just in case!
Question
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
We are planning to have an outdoor ceremony AND reception! Tennessee weather in November can range from 50°-70°. We will be providing space heaters under the covered pavilion, but we do ask that you prepare accordingly and bring layers! If all else fails, we will be moving the party inside the lodge.
Question
Is there available parking for the wedding?
Answer
Yes, there is parking for everyone!
Question
Can I bring more guests?
Answer
While you are free to bring as many people as you want to Tennessee, due to limited space we are only able to accommodate a limited number of guests at the lodge. We have taken the time to write how many seats have been reserved for each guest.
Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
Kyle and I are registered through amazon. You can either find it by clicking the 'Registry' tab on our website, or by following this link, " https://www.amazon.com/wedding/share/hagertyrodiawedding "
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Typically, it can range from about 50° to 70° in the beginning of November. Tennessee weather can be very unpredictable. Our best piece of advice is to bring layers. We will be providing patio heaters during the ceremony and reception just in case, and there is also a covered pavilion. If all else fails and it is too cold, or any other unpredictable weather event happens, we will move the reception indoors!
Question
Our invites don’t say a time, what do we do?!
Answer
Oops! We all make mistakes. Our ceremony start time is still TBD :)
Question
When do I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP before September 15th. We must get a head count for food and our venue, so unfortunately if you do not RSVP by then, it will be assumed as a ‘no’ and a seat will NOT be available for you.
Question
Can I take photos?
Answer
We will allow guests to take photos once Kyle and I are both at the arbor, aka a social media minute. We kindly ask guests to place their phones on silence and wait until our officiant gives the “okay” to take a quick photo. Other than that, we will be having an “unplugged ceremony” where we will ask guests to turn phones on silent and put them away. We want to see your smiling faces, not your cell phones! During our reception, we are HIGHLY encouraging you to take photos! We want as many photos of the night as possible, so don’t be afraid to snap any photos you want!
Question
What should I do if I can’t travel?
Answer
We will miss you greatly! The best way to help us out would be to RSVP ‘no’ as soon as possible.
Question
Where can I stay before and after the wedding?
Answer
Please see our “Travel” tab to see hotels in the area. We have a hotel block at the Holiday Inn near Pigeon Forge/Dollywood, but have other hotels listed. There are also many airbnbs in the area depending on what you are looking for.
