FAQs

Question

What does Black Tie Optional mean?

Answer

Men have the option of wearing a tuxedo or formal dark suit, white shirt, and tie. Women may wear a floor-length gown, fancy cocktail dress or dressy pant suit. The wedding ceremony will take place on the grass- so plan footwear accordingly.

Question

Is there parking at the Chetola Resort?

Answer

Yes- parking is permitted in any of the spots in front of the hotel.

Question

Are children invited to the wedding ceremony or reception?

Answer

We love your kids! But we want you to have a kid-free, take-your-shoes-off-on-the-dance-floor, sling-another-drink-back kind of night! Please leave your children at home! If you need a night-of babysitter in the Blowing Rock area, please reach out to either Jennifer Barnaba or Lisa Rider to coordinate.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will start promptly at 4:30. Please arrive and take your seat no later than 4:15.

Question

Are all of the events outside?

Answer

Yes - our ceremony will take place under the Willow tree, followed by a reception under the lakeside tent. The tent has sides and can be heated, but please dress warmly. It gets cooler in the mountains at night.
