Q + A

What should I wear?

This event is not what would be typically considered "black tie." Whatever formal or cocktail attire you own that makes you feel like you have stepped into a James Bond film. Think a little black dress, your favorite black suit or shirt and tie, etc.

Where is the closest airport?

Nashville is the closest airport about 2 hours from Paris, TN. Memphis is also an option and is about 2 hours and 30 minutes away.

Do you have a block of rooms reserved?

At the Lodge at Paris Landing

When is the latest I can RSVP?

The wedding will be outdoor at the Paris-Henry County Heritage Center. Rain plan will be to move to indoor location. The ceremony will be conducted on the front lawn (flat and grass). The reception will primarily be indoors with an outside terrace.

Are children allowed to attend the wedding and reception?

Our preference is for a child-free wedding, but we realize we our in our 30s and a LOT of our friends are having babies. It is more important to us to celebrate with all of our friends and family together. If not bringing your child would prevent you from attending, we welcome your small child.
