FAQs
Question
Parking for Wedding
Answer
There will be people directing everyone how to park on the lawn. It is a large estate home so be prepared for a little bit of walking and for parking on the grass.
Question
Things to Bring
Answer
We are bringing you into our lives with a large backyard party! Sunscreen is a must while the Tennessee sun is shining bright and some bug stray and a sweater (just in case) to make sure you feel comfortable staying out with us around the fire listening to some of our favorite people playing music while we catch up and celebrate!
Question
POTLUCK WHAT??
Answer
WE'RE HAVING A POTLUCK WEDDING! People may think its crazy but we love it! If you are LOCAL ONLY (and for those who want to contribute regardless of distance traveled), we are having a potluck; so bring your favorite dish and label it so we can make sure you get it back. Please text or call Hannah (615) 873-9139 to let her know what you're bringing so we can make sure nothing is being doubled. There will be a staff to make sure it's handled but our one request is to PLEASE for the sake of the BRIDES bring GLUTEN FREE AND DAIRY FREE so they can eat without having to think too hard. If you need some suggestions please reach out! We are so lucky to have such an incredible community around us who have been asking how to help make this wedding special and this is one of them! YA'LL ARE THE BEST!
Question
Attire for The Wedding
Answer
We are getting married on a gorgeous estate just outside Nashville in the late afternoon into the evening. We are calling it "Evening Garden Cocktail Attire", so a bit more elevated but it's also outside on a large estate in Nashville in late September so keep that mind.
Question
Travel and Hotel Blocks
Answer
If you are flying in for the wedding, fly into BNA. Franklin is a small town roughly 35 mins outside of downtown Nashville. We have hotel blocks at two hotels in Franklin, TN closer to the venue.
