Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

We have limited space and have worked really hard to create an intimate celebration that includes all of our closest family members and friends. Because of this we will only be accommodating the children of our immediate families and the wedding party. We will specify all guests, including children, on your invitation. Thanks for understanding, and if you have any concerns about this, please contact us directly.

Question

Can I bring a "plus One" ?

Answer

We have limited space and have worked really hard to create an intimate celebration that includes all of our closest family members and friends, so we ask that you come solo unless otherwise specified on your invitation. We will specify all guests, including children, on your invitation. Thanks for understanding, and if you have any concerns about this, please contact us directly.

Question

What date should I RSVP by?

Answer

We ask that all RSVPs are RECEIVED by Jan. 15th, 2024. This ensures that we have the most accurate guest count to give our vendors so that they can accommodate our needs!

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Weather permitting, we will be having the ceremony outside overlooking the beautiful Cumberland Plateau of the Appalachian Mountain Range. We will then move inside for the reception.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Although we want you to come in whatever you feel the most comfortable in, the majority of guests will be following a "Dressy Casual" dress code. To give you a better of idea of what that is: "A dressy casual dress code is a versatile balance between formal and casual. This is the ideal choice for networking (or socializing) after work, fundraisers, or dinner at a nice restaurant." Examples: Women Dress, Skirt and dressy top, Dressy pants outfit, Nice jeans and dressy top Men Seasonal sport coat or blazer and slacks, Dress shirt, casual button-down shirt, open-collar or polo shirt with optional tie

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Our ceremony will begin at 4:30 (Central Standard Time). If flying, we suggest you arrive the day before the wedding. Please arrive 20-25 minutes (at the latest) before the ceremony to ensure that you are able to find parking, sign our guest book, and get comfortable in your seat.
