Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?
All events will be taking place indoors, however there are both indoor and outdoor photo opportunities available for guests to enjoy.

Although Tennessee has typically mild fall weather, we'd recommend to bring an additional outer layer for warmth due to the mountainous surroundings.
