Where is the ceremony and reception?

Both the ceremony and reception will take place at the same venue, The Trillium. The Trillium Venue is a mountain venue located in the heart of the Smoky Mountains in Sevierville, TN. It is located at the top of Bluff Mountain. It is about a 30 minute drive from downtown Pigeon Forge and area attractions including Dollywood.

How do I get to the wedding?

We will have a shuttle service provided for guests as there are limited parking spots at the venue. We HIGHLY recommend taking the shuttle as the road to the venue can be very steep and winding. We would like our guests to avoid driving at night on these roads in the dark. The shuttle will be making stops at both hotels and at the Smoky Cove Resort neighborhood. Please see the "Schedule" page to fill out your lodging information for shuttle pick up.

What is the dress code?

Cocktail/semi-formal attire. Tuxedos and long gowns are not required but welcomed options.

Will there be an open bar?

Absolutely!

Where should I stay?

We have many lodging options for guests. We have reserved room blocks at The Courtyard Marriott and Hampton Inn. Both are located in Pigeon Forge. Guests may also rent cabins in the area by booking through Airbnb and VRBO. We do recommend booking cabins in the Smoky Cove neighborhood via the Travel Page as this will likely be a shuttle stop.

Should I rent a car?

If you plan to fly to Tennessee, we recommend renting a car. Uber and Lyft are viable options, however they tend to be more scarce in the mountains. Uber and Lyft are more abundant in the Pigeon Forge downtown area.

Is there parking available for guests at the venue?

If you choose to take your own car to the ceremony/reception, there will be limited parking spots (approx. 25) available. All vehicles must be removed from the property by 11PM that night - there is no overnight parking available.

Where else can I visit during my trip?

Please see the Things To Do section for ideas and activities. Other places to visit are Gatlinburg (45 mins from The Trillium), Knoxville (50 mins from The Trillium), Maryville (50 mins from the Trillium), and Asheville, NC (2 hrs from the Trillium).

Where can I find alcohol in Sevierville?

You may not have thought about asking this question, but we figured you might want to know. Up until the last few years, Sevierville was a "dry county." Although it is no longer "dry," it still can be difficult to find alcohol in town although you will definitely find it at most restaurants. If you would like to supply yourself with beer/wine/liquor during your stay, you can find beer/wine at most grocery stores. There are very few liquor stores in Sevierville. For this reason, we recommend bringing what you typically like to drink with you or liquor stores can be found in the counties/towns/cities adjacent to Sevierville (i.e. Gatlinburg, Maryville, and Knoxville).
