Question
Will you provide transportation?Will you provide transportation?
Answer
UPDATE: For those staying at The Ridges Resort at Lake Chatuge — We will provide a shuttle service from the hotel to the venue and back on the day of the wedding. This area is less populated as it is in the mountains. Please note that Uber and Rideshares are not typically available in this area. You may arrange for private shuttles or taxis (some recommendations are listed on the travel page). If you are interested in organizing a shuttle to/from the airport and or venue with other guests, please let Emma know and I can assist.
Question
Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The Ceremony is slated to take place outside as long as weather allows. It will be Summer, so it will be warm but it will be slightly cooler as we will be in a higher altitude. I recommend bringing a light sweater for evenings. Cocktail Hour will take place both indoor/outdoor. Guests are encouraged to walk around the property, take pictures and spend time where they feel most comfortable. Reception will be indoors.

Yes. However, only beer, wine, & champagne will be served by the bartender (along with sodas, non-alcoholic beverages) Our venue does not allow liquor and we will have a security cop onsite to ensure everyone is safe.

Answer
The venue is right in the heart of the mountains so you may not have service in the area. I highly encourage you to download offline maps for anyone using their own or a rental vehicle. The venue will provide access to WI-FI on the day of the wedding.

Question
May I bring a plus one, additional guests or our children?May I bring a plus one, additional guests or our children?
Answer
We are limited on the amount of guests permitted at our venue and carefully designed our guest list. While we wish we could have everyone we know and love be part of our special day we had to keep the venue capacity and budget in mind. That being said, if other guests decline and availability opens, we will try to accommodate.
