The Wedding Website of Miranda VanDell and Brandon McCarthy
Why Dandridge, Tennessee? We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding where we could be around mountains. We found two amazing Airbnbs next door to each other, right on Douglas Lake in Dandridge, with a fabulous view of the Smoky Mountains. The Airbnbs allow us to have our friends and family celebrate with us for an entire weekend, rather than just one night. It became a perfect location with a mixture of all of our favorite things: mountains, country music, whiskey/bourbon, and adventure. Our hope is that you take advantage of this destination and long weekend to create a trip to see all that Tennessee (and the surrounding areas) has to offer. This area is amazing for sight seeing, hiking, tourist attractions, and whiskey/wine. We have provided some recommendations under the "Make it a Roadtrip" option down below if you are interested in making this a longer trip! If you are looking for recommendations locally, check out the "Things To Do" tab.

Flight

McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) - Knoxville, TN

TYS airport is the closest airport to the wedding location. It is a 35 minute Uber/Lyft/taxi drive to the hotel with our room block.

Hotel

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kodak East-Sevierville

3526 Outdoor World Drive
Kodak, TN 37764
 (865) 933-0087

This is where we have our room block - please call the hotel and mention our names and they will add you under our room block! There will be a shuttle service to bring you to the venue and back to the hotel safely after the wedding. You will notice this hotel is a bit further from the venue. We chose this venue specifically because there are more restaurants, attractions, and taxi services in this area. We want you to enjoy your time in Tennessee when you aren't attending our wedding! If you choose to drive your car/rental car to the wedding, there is ample public parking right next to the venue!
