Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?
The ceremony will be held at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, about 15 minutes outside of Downtown Knoxville. The cocktail hour and reception will take place at Jackson Terminal in the Old City in Downtown Knoxville.
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
The Nuptial Mass will begin promptly at 2:30 PM. You should plan to arrive at least 20-30 minutes early to be comfortably seated beforehand.
How do we get there?
For those who will have a car, the church is about a 15 minute drive from the Downtown Knoxville area and there is a large parking lot with plenty of spots. The reception venue is a close walk to any downtown hotel, but there is also a free, public parking lot right next to Jackson Terminal at 401 W Jackson Ave. There are also Ubers/Lyfts available to and from the downtown area. We recommend scheduling rides in advance to ensure pick-ups will be on time.
Is there a dress code?
We'd love to see our friends and family dress up with us in formal attire! For women, floor-length gowns, fancy cocktail dresses, or dressy pantsuits and for men, dark suits or tuxedos.
Are children welcome?
We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation/RSVP. While we love all the children in our lives, we have decided to make this an adults-only celebration, with the exception of children in the wedding party.
Can I bring a date/plus one?
If you received a plus one, it will be listed on your invitation and appear under your name when you RSVP.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! Please plan to utilize Uber/Lyft to get home safely, or walk. The following parking lots are convenient to the venue and allow free parking all day and overnight on the weekends - Jackson Ave Lot (401 W Jackson Ave), State Street Garage (500 State St), Market Square Garage (406 Walnut St).
