We are excited to spend our day surrounded by our closest friends and family! We will not be able to accommodate additional plus-ones to our wedding. The name of every guest invited to attend will be clearly listed on your invitation and in the RSVP section of the website. Thank you for your understanding!
While we love your kiddos, we are keeping this an adult only (21+) event. We hope you can use this as an opportunity to let loose and enjoy a weekend to yourselves!
We would love to see our friends dress up with us! Our dress code is Black-Tie Optional. We ask that the gentlemen wear a tuxedo or dark suite and tie. For the ladies, please wear a floor length dress, elevated jumpsuit, or sophisticated slacks and blouse. Fall colors are highly encouraged!
As our venue is located in Trenton, Georgia—approximately 30 minutes south of Chattanooga—we will be providing round-trip transportation for our guests. Motor coach service will depart from The Edwin Hotel, which will serve as the central pickup and drop-off location. Guests staying at the Holiday Inn Express, other hotels, or Airbnb accommodations are kindly asked to make their way to The Edwin for transportation. Coaches will depart promptly at 2:45 PM to allow ample time for travel to the venue. Return transportation will depart the venue at approximately 10:30 PM and transport guests back to The Edwin. We strongly encourage all guests to take advantage of this service, as the roads leading to the venue are winding and can be quite dark in the evening. Guests planning to enjoy alcoholic beverages are especially encouraged to utilize the provided transportation. For those who prefer to drive, complimentary parking will be available at the venue. Please note that rideshare services such as Uber and taxis do not service the venue area.
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4 PM. The doors to the venue will open at 3 PM, one hour ahead of our ceremony time. We recommend arriving to the venue at least 20 minutes ahead of the ceremony start time to ensure you have enough time to settle in. If you are taking our transportation, then we have allotted for this buffer.
All of our guests are invited to join us for a Welcome Party on the evening before our wedding, November 6, 2026, from 7-9 PM. Please join us in The Green Room at The Read House Hotel for an open bar and light hor-dourves. Please plan for dinner ahead of time. Dress Code is Semi-Formal. We look forward to welcoming you to Chattanooga!
We have reserved a room block at The Edwin Hotel and a small room block at the Holiday Inn Express Downtown Chattanooga. Please visit our "Travel" page for the links and discount codes needed to book. The Edwin is a Marriott property, so you will receive points for the stay if booked through our link. Please feel free to book separately with your points if you wish.
Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA) is the closest airport. Nashville (BNA) or Atlanta (ATL) are the next closest options (2 hours by drive).
Georgia weather is a little unpredictable in the fall. During the day, the highs are typically in the high 60s/low 70s. As we move into the evening the temperature may dip down into the 50s. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors (weather permitting), while the reception will be indoors.
