For attire—feel free to dress up or keep it comfortable, whatever suits you best. We'd love to see darker, earthy tones like rust, sage, burgundy, and warm brown, but most importantly, wear something that makes you feel wonderful.
Our ceremony will be held in the cove at Smithview Pavilion. Given the venue's indoor-outdoor design, we encourage you to dress comfortably for a flexible environment.
The reception will be held just steps away from the ceremony.
We'd love to have children celebrate with us! We're asking that only those listed on your invitation attend. If you have any questions about bringing little ones, please don't hesitate to reach out—we're happy to chat!
Your presence means the world to us—that's truly the greatest gift. If you'd like to give something, we've set up a honeymoon fund and an Amazon registry, both available on our wedding website.

Since our celebration spans both indoor and outdoor spaces, we're monitoring the forecast closely. Should rain be in the forecast, we'll have a contingency plan in place and will notify you well in advance. East Tennessee weather can be wonderfully unpredictable, so we kindly ask that you bring an umbrella if rain is predicted. We appreciate your flexibility!
For any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to the bride at 865.323.5975 or Caroline.dowdy1@gmail.com. We're delighted to help!
