Question
Indoor or Outdoor Event?
Answer
Indoor, because Tennessee humidity is no joke. All festivities will be held inside the beautiful, climate-controlled 16 bedroom lodge that we've rented for the duration of the weekend. Step out onto the expansive wooden decks to enjoy the scenic river views during the Welcome Social and throughout the night. Pro-tip: Since the main events are indoors on solid wood floors, feel free to wear your favorite heels and bring a more comfortable shoe for later!
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Under the “Schedule” tab, there’s suggested attire for each event! (All events will be held indoors) For the ceremony, our vision is, "Mountain Elegant"! Join us in your favorite Cocktail Attire. Think classy, glam, and elegant—we want to see you shine! For the ladies -- think cocktail dresses, elegant jumpsuits, your favorite Little Black Dress, or even that long, beautiful gown you’ve been waiting for a reason to wear! For our gentlemen -- sport jackets and slacks, Sunday best, or a sharp suit. Come dressed to the nines! (No colors are "off-limits")
Question
What airport is closest?
Answer
The Knoxville Airport (TYS) is the closest airport ~60 minutes from the cabin - We will have plenty of cars & drivers to help assist with airport pick-ups & drop-offs Nashville Airport (BNA) is 3 hours away If you select this option, we *may* be able to help coordinate a ride with a friend coming from Nashville on the 27th, but you will likely need to rent a car in order to make your return flight, but feel free to message Monique for troubleshooting logistics. (Note: We will have to check out of the Cabin by 10am on Monday, June 29th)
Question
Accommodations
Answer
For those flying in or driving across multiple state lines, we would be absolutely thrilled to host as many of you as possible at the lodge. It is our small 'thank you' for traveling so far to celebrate with us! For our wonderful guests joining us locally from Tennessee who wish to stay the night, the closest town with hotel accommodations is Madisonville (about a 20-minute drive).
Question
Gifts & Registry
Answer
Your presence is the greatest gift! However, if you would like to bless us with another gift, we are asking for memories instead of blenders. To honor our relationship, we intentionally saved the joy of traveling alone for marriage. We have set up a Honeymoon Fund under the 'Registry' tab to help us fund a two-part adventure: A local, relaxing mini-moon right after the wedding, followed by our first big solo trip to Thailand (or another exotic destination) in the Spring of 2027!
Question
Food
Answer
We will provide all meals Friday - Sunday at the cabin! All are welcome to partake!
Question
Can I watch online?
Answer
Can't make it? Don't worry, we will stream our ceremony online through this private Google Meets link. Video call link: https://meet.google.com/qqn-zubu-txb Also, we plan to have a more formal wedding celebration summer of 2027
Question
Where should I park?
Answer
There is parking available directly at the cabin. However, since onsite parking is limited, we encourage carpooling, if possible!
Question
Directions & Cell Service
Answer
Service is spotty - DOWNLOAD DIRECTIONS 1. Arriving in Tellico Plains From most directions, you will arrive via Hwy 68. Follow Hwy 68 into the heart of Tellico Plains. 2. The Cherohala Skyway From downtown Tellico Plains, turn onto TN-165 E (The Cherohala Skyway). You’ll only be on the Skyway for a moment—it’s the gateway to the mountains! 3. The Turn onto River Road Look for the turn onto River Road (look for signs pointing toward the Tellico River or the Ranger Station). You will pass the Tellico Beach Drive-In and the Ranger Station on your left. 4. The Scenic Stretch on Rafter Road Follow River Road as it winds beautifully alongside the water. It will eventually transition into Rafter Road.
