Travel Note

Rideshare Services

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are widely available in the area. We will not be providing transportation throughout the weekend, so please plan for your own travel to and from events. We encourage carpooling or walking whenever possible, but there is plenty of parking at the church and the reception venues. Thank you in advance for your understanding and flexibility.

Travel Note

Parking in Downtown Knoxville

If you plan on driving into town, please keep in mind the following notes: Hotel Parking: The Hyatt Place offers paid valet services. The Hilton Knoxville offers paid self-park and valet services. The Hilton Garden Inn Knoxville Papermill Drive offers free parking. AirBnb & Vrbo Parking: Varies by property. More often than not, if your short term rental is downtown, it will not include parking. Parking Lots & Garages: The closest garages to the hotel blocks and venue are State Street Garage, Market Square Garage, and Langley Garage. The closest lots are Jackson Avenue Lot (immediately next to the reception venue) and Old City South Lot. Each is $7 max per day. All are free on Nights and Weekends, except Market Square Garage which has a flat fee of $3 on Saturdays. **For added peace of mind, we suggest overnight parking in garages when possible. Downtown areas can vary block by block, so keeping vehicles free of visible valuables is always a good idea.
