We’ve decided to elope because we want a wedding experience that feels intimate, personal, and true to us. Rather than planning a large event, like originally planned, we decided to focus on committing to each other with our closest friends and family by our sides. It’s not a decision made lightly, but one that reflects how we want to start this new chapter.

We personally love Tennessee and it only feels right to return to Gatlinburg to start our marriage, since that is where we got engaged.

No, there will only be a ceremony at the venue. We hope to find accommodations for everyone for dinner. More details to come.

Since we are using an elopement company and venue, there are potentially other weddings the same day. The venue has instructed us and guests to arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before 5:00PM. If guests arrive sooner, Jake & I will be charged a fine.

No. This is an invite only ceremony as we are only allowed 40 guests.
