When is the wedding?

Please arrive by 5pm. Ceremony begins promptly at 5:30pm and reception ends at 10:30pm.

When should I arrive at the venue?

The shuttles will ensure you arrive with ample time to get settled before the ceremony. If you are self-parking, we recommend arriving by 5pm to ensure adequate time to park and walk to the ceremony area.

The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30pm.

What should I wear?

The dress code for the event is black tie optional. We want everyone to look and feel their best! For men, a suit and tie of any color or tuxedo is fine. For women, think long dresses or midi dresses - colors and florals are perfect.

Since the ceremony and reception are on grass, block heels and outdoor-friendly dress shoes are recommended. Weather in late spring is unpredictable, so you may want to bring a light jacket or shawl.

What is the weather like?

May weather is considered late spring in Knoxville and can be unpredictable. Expect a high in the 70s or 80s and a low in the 50s or 60s at night. May can also be rainy, so you may want to bring an umbrella or rain jacket.

In the event it rains on the wedding day (fingers crossed for sun!), we will hold our ceremony under the reception tent.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

If you or your party have dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know on your RSVP. We will be serving a meat entree at our reception and will have vegetarian options available upon request. We have cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres, snacks, and desserts that will be served throughout the evening.

Will there be an open bar?

Yes! We will have an open bar with beer, wine, spirits, and signature cocktails.

Do you have a registry?

Your presence at our wedding is the best gift we could ask for. If you would like to honor us with a gift, we are registered at Bloomingdale’s and Williams Sonoma on the ‘Registry’ page.

Are there other events to attend on the wedding weekend?

There will be a rehearsal at the venue at 4pm. on Friday followed by a rehearsal dinner at 5:30pm for the wedding party at the Oliver Royale. For our long-distance guests, we will host an intimate welcome party at 8pm on Friday.
