Yes, both our ceremony and reception will take place at the Touched by Time venue. The venue includes both indoor and outdoor spaces and has a large parking lot for our guests. It also has air conditioned indoor spaces and guest bathrooms.

The ceremony is set to take place at 4:00pm, so we ask that you arrive 15-30 minutes early to be seated. Please plan accordingly- we will start promptly at 4:00pm and ask that guests do not interrupt our ceremony due to tardiness.

We would love nothing more than to see our loved ones dressed in our wedding colors. Please wear garden party semi-formal attire (both cocktail dresses and gowns are appropriate). We encourage you to dress colorfully and in our colors! Shades of green, orange, pink, yellow, and purple are encouraged. It is summer in Tennessee, so prepare for warm weather. We also encourage you to avoid tall heels since much of our venue is outdoors and it will be difficult to safely walk on uneven grass/gravel in tall heels.

Yes! The drinks are on us, but the hangover is on you. A selection of beer, wine, and two signature cocktails will be provided. You may not bring in outside alcohol. We ask that guests do not drink and drive, so please secure a safe ride home if you plan to partake in our open bar.

Snacks will be provided during cocktail hour and a full dinner will be served. Please select your preferred dinner entree while you RSVP!

Due to our venue's limited capacity and our vision to have an intimate celebration with our closest family and friends, only guests invited by name on the reservation may attend our wedding.

Yes, both our ceremony and reception will be inclusive of children. Only children listed by name on the invitation may attend our wedding. We are not responsible for the caretaking of any child in attendance, and ask that parents monitor their own children at all times. We also ask that parents discreetly remove their child from the ceremony if they are causing a disturbance. Additionally, please be aware that we will be offering an open bar and that our reception will include explicit music. Parents will be responsible for monitoring their children around adult activities and we understand if you do not want your child on the dance floor/need to leave earlier to protect little ears.

We are so lucky to have so many loved ones traveling from all over the country for our day! Please plan your travel accordingly to ensure you have secure transportation and lodging for your stay. The venue is located about an hour from the Nashville airport. We encourage planning a car rental or carpooling with other guests if possible. Recommended lodging can be found in our "travel" tab.

We would absolutely love to have you there, but understand that travel and expenses can be difficult. Please let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend our wedding by using our "RSVP" tab here on the website. This way, we can plan for your absence and communicate proper guest counts to our vendors. RSVPs are due by May 1st, and we will assume you are not attending if you do not RSVP. Those without an RSVP will unfortunately not have a seat or meal set aside for them.

There are many lodging options in the area! Keep in mind that our venue is an hour from downtown Nashville. The closest city is Columbia, Tennessee and has many hotel options. There are also several Airbnb options in both Hampshire and Columbia. We have suggested some options in our "travel" tab.

Please join us in celebrating being officially "The Shagers"! (Pronounced Shay-Ger) Alyssa has chosen to take Jens's last name AND keep her chosen last name, Prindl, as a nod to her grandparents and her teaching career. Her full legal name will be Alyssa Raquel Prindl Shager and "Shager" will be her official new last name, making her simply Mrs. Shager! :) She feels so lucky to feel loved and part of two families, and this feels like the most perfect name to honor that.

We have been so lucky to have our friends and family ask us this, so we will also provide the answer here. We have linked our registry on our website and are so deeply grateful for your kindness if you choose to purchase a gift for us- gifting is absolutely not necessary. Since we do already own our home and are blessed to have the means to furnish that home, we would kindly urge you to consider donating to our honeymoon fund as our preferred gift! We are very much looking forward to our first vacation together as a married couple in Punta Cana!
