Dear Friends & Family,

We’re thrilled you'll be joining us on October 3, 2025 to celebrate our special day at Harpers Vineyard (338 Webb Rd, Townsend, TN 37882). The ceremony starts promptly at 5:00 PM, so we kindly ask that you arrive no later than 4:30 PM to ensure a smooth and relaxed arrival.

Travel Tip: The nearest airport is McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) in Knoxville. It’s about 24 miles and typically a 30–35 minute drive to Townsend. Because public transit and ride-share services are limited in this area, we strongly recommend renting a car for the easiest commute to the venue.

Flying In + Rental Car Info

If you're joining us from out of town, we recommend flying into:

McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS)

Located in Knoxville, TN

Roughly 24 miles / 30–35 minutes from the wedding venue in Townsend

Airport code: TYS

Rental Cars:

Because Townsend is a peaceful mountain town with limited ride-share options (Uber/Lyft are not reliable in the area), we highly recommend renting a car at the airport for the weekend.

Rental counters are available at TYS right near baggage claim (no shuttle needed). Consider booking early for the best rates!

Directions from TYS to Harpers Vineyard

Exit the airport and take Alcoa Highway (US‑129) toward Maryville.

Merge onto I‑140, then transition to US‑321 East (Wears Valley Road) heading toward Townsend.

Continue until you reach Webb Road, then follow local signage to 338 Webb Rd, home of Harpers Vineyard.

Optional scenic route: Some prefer driving through Maryville and then via Wears Valley Road—it offers beautiful views though it can be winding. Maryville will be the best place to stock up on any groceries or snacks that you may need for the weekend!
