Is your dog friendly? Yes! But there are no fences, so if your dog is a runner, it's not advised. Also, there is a small lake named after one of Stover Mountain's most esteemed pups, Louise, so if your dog is a swimmer, maybe keep them leashed during the ceremony.
Heck yeah! But same with the dogs, there are no fences, so keep that in mind if they're runners! There's also a small lake that has no fences or lifeguards.
No.
We know that it's a lot to give up a weekend in terms of both time and expense, and we don't need anything at all. If you're so compelled, please make a donation to the Appalachian Bear Rescue at https://appalachianbearrescue.org/, and that will be gift enough for us!
3709 Big Creek Road, Ellijay, GA 30536
We're working on scheduling a shuttle to and from Ellijay to reduce road traffic. Carpooling is highly recommended.
We're renting a fully functioning restroom trailer, but there will be no shower facilities for guests who choose to stay on the farm. The lake will probably be a little chilly by then, but if you're so inclined, look out for the snapper turtles.
Rain or shine, baby! That's what big tents are for. November is historically the dryest month of the year, so hurricane-permitting, we should be good.
We will follow the guidance at the time of the wedding, but this will be an outdoor-only event. We know that without vaccines, this wouldn't be possible, and we strongly encourage all of our guests to get vaccinated so we can ensure the health and safety of all of our loved ones as we celebrate. We are both vaccinated, and we can't wait to have all the hugs!
Feel free to arrive on Friday if that's easier for you. There will be fully functioning bathrooms available to you, but no showers. We'll be staying at the farm, and we're looking forward to visiting with anyone who stays. The bathrooms get picked up on Monday, so you don't have to go home, but you can't stay there.
No worries. Just shoot us a message, and if we don't have it, we'll know someone who does.

Lillian's uncles Tom and Jim along with cousin Raymond will be playing the processional and recessional. (And maybe more if we're lucky!)
