Our ceremony will start promptly at 4:30pm. Please arrive no later than 4pm to allow time to socialize and to be seated on time. Please keep in mind walking, driving and parking time.
The venue is located in the farm country of east Tennessee meaning the roads are very narrow and windy. As a result, we have set up a group of transportation shuttles to safely get our guests to and from our event. The shuttles will depart from the Carnegie Hotel before the wedding with the first shuttle leaving at 2:30pm. The shuttles will then depart as they fill up, with the last shuttle leaving no later than 3:45pm. Please note we will have a dedicated area at the venue for games, refreshments, and socializing for guests who arrive on the earlier options. We will then have shuttles leaving from the venue to the hotel beginning around 8:30pm, with the final shuttle leaving around 10:30pm. If you choose not to utilize the provided transportation, please keep in mind that the roads are windy and narrow and may be difficult to drive after dark. If adult beverages are being consumed, please plan accordingly.
If you choose to drive to the venue, there will be free parking onsite. Once you arrive, there will be parking attendants onsite to direct you where to go. Please follow their directions and stay on the directed path.
Children are welcome to come to our wedding, but please keep in mind our venue is located on a lake with no barriers to the water. If you decide to bring your children, you are responsible for keeping an eye on them and making sure they behave appropriately. Please note there will be explicit music played as we celebrate our day - please keep this in mind as you consider bringing your little ones.
Due to our restricted venue space, only names explicitly listed on your invitation are able to be accommodated. Thank you so much for understanding!
We want all our guests dressed their best! Please plan to wear formal/cocktail attire and be ready for photo ops! With that being said, please reserve any typical bride colors for the bride only (white, ivory, cream, etc.).
We have decided our ceremony will be unplugged. For this, we ask that all phones and cameras be put away and there to be no pictures or videos taken. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture every part of our intimate day and promise we will share all pictures following the wedding. We appreciate you being in the moment with us and allowing our photography/videography team do their jobs. Note: For the reception following the ceremony, you are more than welcome to take as many pictures and videos you want!
