No, the ceremony is at Ijams Nature Center and the reception is at Fly By Night; however, they're only 2.5 miles apart from each other
Is there parking at each venue?
Yes, there is plenty of parking at Ijams Nature Center and a small lot next to Fly By Night. If the lot next to Fly By Night is full, you are welcome to park at the parking lot of South Knoxville Elementary School (we have received permission for you to do so)
What happens if it rains?
The ceremony venue has a large tent located next to the planned ceremony area, so the ceremony will happen there instead. Directions to get there would stay the same. The reception is indoors so it wouldn't be an issue.
Are kids allowed?
We would like for this once-in-a-lifetime event to be kid-free. The reception is in a small cocktail bar, so it is not a kid friendly environment. We're happy to connect you with babysitters in the area if needed, just let us know. If for any reason you absolutely must bring your kid(s) to the ceremony portion, please contact Chase or Adriana ahead of time and we can talk about it.
Can I bring a plus one?
We would like this to be an intimate affair with our closest friends and loved ones, and have chosen a small reception venue to reflect that. Please understand that only the guests listed on the save the date/invitation you received are able to be accommodated. If you are in a serious, long-term relationship, think we may have made an error, or need further clarification, please reach out to Chase or Adriana.
What should I wear?
Our dress code is cocktail/semi-formal attire, but we ultimately want you to be comfortable. We would love if our guests would embrace the vintage (70s, though other decades also welcome), funky vibe of our reception and have fun dressing to that loose theme, but only if it would bring them joy to do so; it is by no means a requirement. However, please refrain from wearing blue jeans, Tshirts, dresses in any shade of white, or any overly "halloween costume" attire such as party wigs. We're happy to clarify or answer any questions on what would be appropriate attire.
My partner that was invited can't make it, can I bring a different plus one?
If this is the case, please reach out to us to let us know ahead of time. We would prefer to address this on a case-by-case basis.
