Rehearsal & Welcome Dinner – A Tennessee-Meets-Louisiana Cookout

6:00 pm

Join us at Sycamore Mansion on Saturday evening for a laid-back dinner featuring burgers, a classic Louisiana shrimp boil, and all our favorite Southern flavors as we kick off the wedding weekend. We’ll have a few refreshments on hand — feel free to bring your favorite beverage to enjoy. The wedding party will do a quick walk-through before dinner begins, then we’ll relax and celebrate together. Our wedding party, family, cabin guests, and out-of-town friends are warmly invited to join us for good food, laughter, and an enjoyable time together before Sunday’s celebration.

Abbott Ever After: The Wedding Celebration

4:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Semi-formal / cocktail attire. Fall tones encouraged — think rust, sage, olive, burgundy, or neutrals.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you in the Smoky Mountains! Our ceremony and cocktail hour are planned outdoors so we can enjoy the beautiful fall views—weather permitting—with the reception held inside the estate. Guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres and charcuterie followed by a full dinner, wedding cake, and dessert bar. We’ll be serving signature cocktails along with beer, wine, liquor, and non-alcoholic options throughout the evening. Times are approximate and may adjust slightly as the schedule is finalized.
