Question

What are the addresses of the wedding ceremony and reception venues? Are they wheelchair accessible?

Answer

Our venue's address is 710 Eagle Bend Road, Clinton, TN 37716. Once you arrive, you'll see signage directing you to the driveway. There will be attendants there to show you where to park. The ceremony will be in the grassy area behind the tower, while the reception will be held in the garden area in front of the tower and under the tent next to the house. There are concrete walkways, cobblestone walkways, and grassy bits, so prepare accordingly. We will have to check on wheelchair accessibility.

Question

What's the easiest way to get to and from your wedding venue?

Answer

Driving to and from by car will be the easiest way to get to the venue. The venue is located in a neighborhood. There are usually ride-share options as well. We will have to check if there is some kind of shuttle service that will be available.

Question

Is there parking available near your wedding venue?

Answer

For guests within driving distance of the venue, there is free on-site parking. There will be two valet attendants who can park your car for you or will show you where to park. There are five spots next to the house that are reserved for grandparents only.

Question

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our evening ceremony will be outdoors in the grassy area. Cocktail hour and the reception will take place outdoors as well in the garden area and under the tent. Guests will walk to the grassy area for the ceremony to take their seats. For that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended.

Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Answer

We are working to reserve a room block at The Holiday Inn Express. We will have more information soon. Feel free to let us know early if you are interested in being in that room block.

Question

Will there be a shuttle to and/or from the hotel(s) for the wedding?

Answer

We will have to look into if a shuttle service is available for our wedding venue location. If not, ride-share options should be available.

Question

What should I do if I don't make it into the room block?

Answer

We are still working on this, but if you miss the deadline to reserve a room in our block, reach out to the hotel and mention our wedding anyway—they may be able to accommodate you with our discount in a room outside of our block. If not, you can find additional nearby accommodations on our travel page.

Question

What's the best airport to use?

Answer

McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) is the closest airport. The wedding venue is about 45-minutes away.

Question

Are there any colors or styles you'd prefer me to wear?

Answer

We want you to be comfortable, but we kindly would love for everyone to be in spring/summer colors (think Easter or a romantic picnic in the garden).

Question

What is the weather and climate like in the area?

Answer

East Tennessee can be finicky. We expect it to be warm, but hopefully not super-hot. Humidity will depend on rain. It will probably cool off as the night goes, so a light sweater should suffice. Sunglasses, fans, or shade umbrellas will be recommended to bring in case of sunny, warm weather, as well as umbrellas for any rain as the ceremony is located outside.

Answer

We are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding unless indicated on your initiation. Otherwise, the name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation.

We love your children, but only children indicated on your invitation are welcome on our wedding day. If you're unsure, your invite will be addressed as "The ____ Family" to indicate your children are invited.

Question

What type of food will be served at your wedding?

Answer

We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour (meatballs, stuffed mushrooms, bruschetta) followed by a sit-down dinner including Tuscan chicken, beef medallions, corn casserole, sour cream potato casserole, and tossed salad. We will have carrot and strawberry cake for dessert as well as a s'mores station as the evening winds down.

Question

Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?

Answer

We will have to discuss with our caterer on how to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions if need be. If you have any restrictions, please let us know in the designated section of your digital RSVP. We want you to feel comfortable and well fed!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception, however, we do recommend bringing cash or a credit card along for tipping the bartender.
