Do you have a Honeymoon fund?
Yes!! We are so excited for a trip to Europe. Most of the online companies make you pay a percentage in order to give cash gifts, so here is our venmo so we can avoid you getting a fee! @baileymedwards and @alfaro10 for our Europe fund!
Are kids welcome?
As much as we love your little ones, this will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this advance notice means you’re able to let your hair down and celebrate with us on the day!
Can I bring a plus one?
Unfortunately, due to venue restrictions, we are unable to accommodate plus ones. We appreciate your understanding!
What is the dress code?
This will be a formal event! Our venue is such a beautiful mountainous area in the fall, I’d love to see those amazing burnt orange, red, dark green fall colors for gals! For men, any darker suit is perfect! **A NOTE ON HEELS: We will be walking in grass during the ceremony, so just be careful here on pointed heels that may dig into the grass a bit more! I want everyone to be safe! We all know I’ve broken my ankles enough for the rest of us; don’t need any injuries!
What is the weather like?
We’ll be up in the mountains, so although it’s September, the weather is typically more temperate. It is typically between 70-80 degrees and breezy!
Is the wedding indoor or outdoor?
The ceremony will be outdoor, and the reception will be primarily outdoor with a covering/fans! Food will be served inside, and everyone is welcome to step inside if they get too hot!
Do you have a wedding hashtag?
SURE DO! #almostalfaro
What time zone is Townsend, TN?
It is Eastern time!
I’m staying at the onsite cabins, are there any food options nearby?
There sure are!! The Dancing Bear site includes our wedding venue, as well as a lovely coffee shop for breakfast, and a lovely lunch spot as well. These are the Dancing Bean and Apple Valley Cafe.
Where do I park?
You will park at the entrance of Dancing Bear! We will have a shuttle that will drive up the hill to the venue, then back down to your car afterward!
Are there Ubers?
Our Coordinator has let us know that there are almost no Ubers in Townsend TN! For those flying in, I’d highly recommend either renting a car, using Turo to rent a car, or scheduling a taxi!
When does the shuttle start?
The shuttle will begin picking folks up at the bottom of the hill at 3 PM EST. By 3:45, it will stop picking folks up and prevent anyone else from getting to the venue! So ensure you are not late!
What if I have a food allergy?
No problem at all! All of the food will be Gluten Free, but if you have any other allergies, the chef will accommodate and ensure you have dinner.
