Reception Q&A

Will there be alcohol at the reception?

No, the reception will be a dry event. Alcohol will not be served and should not be brought onto the venue property.

Are kids allowed?

Absolutely! We would love for your entire family to come and celebrate our marriage! *Please note, the venue owner has requested that children not play on the outdoor pews or in the pond.

Am I allowed to bring other guests with me that aren't listed on my RSVP group?

Yes, the more the merrier! When completing the RSVP, there is a question that asks if you will be bringing any additional children/guests. This information helps us determine how much food to have available so that everyone has plenty to eat! *Please note, The Knot puts all RSVP questions for each guest in the group. If you are bringing additional children/guests, you will only need to complete that question for 1 person in your RSVP group; you do not have to put the same answer for each person.

What type of food will be served?

We will be serving beef BBQ with baked beans and cole slaw. The cake options will be vanilla cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream; vanilla cake with vanilla custard filling and vanilla buttercream; and chocolate cake with cookies and cream mousse and chocolate ganache. We will also have 2 cupcake options, which are vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and chocolate cupcakes with cookies and cream mousse. For drink options, we will provide water, sweet tea, lemonade, and Coca-Cola products.

How do I get to the reception venue?

The reception will be held at The Barn on Pierce located at 13619 Pierce Road, Birchwood, TN 37308. The address will show a house, and you will drive up the driveway and then turn toward the left of the house to get to the venue. We will have signs along the drive to direct you to where to go.

Do I have to stay the entire time from 2pm - 6pm?

You are welcome to come and go as you please! If you would like to stay the entire time, you are more than welcome to, but it is not required. The food will be served in a buffet style, so feel free to come by whenever you can! Any amount of time that we get to spend with our family and friends on this special day is very cherished and appreciated!
