The attire for our wedding is summer formal. Gentlemen should wear a suit & tie and Ladies should wear tea-length or floor-length dresses. We suggest choosing light, summer-appropriate fabrics of bright colors! Bridesmaids will be wearing sage green dresses. We kindly request that guests refrain from wearing white.
We are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Thank you for respecting our wishes to have an intimate wedding celebration!
We have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event.
See the following link to Cheekwood's campus map: https://cheekwood.org/wp-content/uploads/Cheekwood-Campus-Map.pdf Parking for guests is in Lot B, below the mansion. There will be parking attendants to allow you to enter the campus, just reference you are there for the Sweeney/Abernathy Wedding. Of note, you can NOT leave cars at Cheekwood overnight. The ceremony is located at the Wisteria Arbor, on the left side of the Historic Mansion and Museum. Cocktail hour is located on the patio of the Frist Learning Center (FLC). The FLC is to the right of the mansion and the patio is on the top side when looking at the map. The reception will also be at the FLC, located at the courtyard just through the building from the patio.
The attire for our welcome party is dressy casual. We kindly request that guests refrain from wearing white. We hope to see you all there!
