FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin at 4:30 pm. There will be a Welcome Party that begins at 4 pm. Please come early, grab a glass of champagne and mingle before the big event!
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
We would love to create lifelong memories, instead of receiving physical gifts. Please consider making a contribution to our honeymoon fund which is located under the "Registry" tab.
Question

Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we adore your children, our venue does not have the room for your little ones. Please make it a date night. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
We will do our best to accommodate as much as possible. For special dietary concerns contact Emaly :)
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Yes, AIRBNB and VRBO stays will be the closest options to the venue. There is also a small boutique motel that is 10 minutes from the venue. There are only 11 rooms in the motel so I would recommend booking it soon if you want to stay there. There are many hotels available in Chattanooga. It is about a 30 minute drive to the venue. Please see the 'Travel" Tab for information.
Question
How do I get to The Conservatory?
Answer
When you pull onto the Blackberry Ridge property, turn left and keep driving until you get to The Conservatory. The driveway is SUPER long, but keep driving and you will eventually get there. Please allot an additional 5 minutes to get from the front entrance to the parking lot at The Conservatory.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes, there is a large parking lot to the left of The Conservatory for all guests and vendors to park. Please keep in mind that the venue is in a very small town and Uber and Lyft may not be reliable at the end of the night. Please make sure to plan a safe ride home ahead of time.
Question
Time Zone Note--
Answer
The entire Blackberry Ridge property operates on Eastern Time. Please note that The Conservatory is located across the Alabama border, so your device may reflect Central Time while on the property. Please review the "Time Zone Reminder" sheet for directions on how to ensure your device does not switch to Central Time.
