The Welcome Party will be the day before the wedding on Friday, May 23, 2025 from 11am to 3pm. The invite is open to all guests that are in town. Food and beverages will be provided and you are welcome to BYOB as well! Sandy Creek Farms is a beautiful venue that sprawls across a private 430-acre farm. All guests are welcome to roam around the entire property and enjoy the many amenenities it has offer. There are 10-miles of hiking trails, a 20-acre lake where you can swim/kayak and fish for bass/catfish, an Orangerie (a citrus greenhouse) where fresh citrus fruits can be picked, and much more. Mulitple lawn games will be out and music will be playing. We want our guests to relax, have fun, and take in the beautiful scenery that Tennessee has to offer. Please dress casual or dressy casual, whatever you feel comfortable in for a laid back backyard BBQ type feel. If you would like to swim, bring a swimsuit! We hope you join us at this pre-celebration to welcome the future Mr. and Mrs. Bautista!

*Please review the "Shuttles" tab for more detailed information and specifics* - Yes, a shuttle has been reserved to transport guests to and from the wedding on a first come first serve basis. The shuttle will pick up only from the Hampton Inn for guests choosing to stay there. A sign up sheet will be available at the front desk. Please note, there are specified times for the shuttle to pick up from the Hampton Inn for the wedding and depart from Sandy Creek Farms back to the hotel. If these times do not work for you, or the departure is later than you like, we recommend driving yourselves as the wedding venue has ample parking.

Uber and Lyft in this area are very limited. There may be a few available, however, there's no gaurantee so please plan accordingly. There is a local taxi company called "Taxi Paris, TN" that does service the area. Their phone number is "731-363-4121". They do not have a website, however, they do have a facebook page that you can visit.

The parking lot is 2.5 acres and is complimentary. It holds about 300 cars so there are plenty of spots. Upon arriving to Sandy Creek Farms, there will be signs that guide you to the event parking lot.

For any guests in need of assistance, a venue manager will be available to help transport guests on a golf cart to the different venues on the property.

Due to limitations, we are only able to accomodate those guests formally listed on your invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you digitally RSVP. Thank you for understanding!

We can't promise anything, of course, as weather in Tennessee can change at any time. During this season, the average temperature ranges from 57 degrees to 80 degrees.

The entire wedding will be both indoor and outdoor. The Ceremony will be outside on the "Island". The Coctail Hour will be both inside/outside at the "Stables" and the "Flagstone Patio". Dinner will be held inside at the "Pavillion" and we will finish off the night outside on "Flagstone Patio".
