Q + A

Why is the wedding ceremony private?

The brides have agreed that a smaller ceremony is favorable to what the brides have in mind. Jacqueline has always dreamed of getting married exactly where she watched her parents get married when she was 9 years old. This location is a small spot in the Appalachian mountain range. Unfortunately this means that the amount of people allowed to attend is extremely limited. The brides would still love to celebrate with everyone at their reception. It is fully understandable that it can be unfavorable to only travel for a reception, and so there will be no hard feelings if anyone chooses not to attend!

Where is the wedding reception?

The reception will be at Ancient Lore Village (7107 Sevierville Pike, Knoxville, TN)

What time is the reception?

The reception will be held from 5 to 9 pm.

What should I give as a gift?

Gifts are not expected, dont worry! If you really insist, it is strongly recommended that cash be gifted. The brides appreciate any form of gift, but Sofi and Jacqui have lived together for many years and do not need any objects. They are currently saving for their first home! There is also a registry button at the top of the website with a handful of objects.

How do I RSVP and when?

RSVP for your household with the RSVP button at the top of the website. RSVP's are expected by February 1st. If no answer is received, we will treat that as a decline.

What should I wear?

The event will be cocktail attire. The reception will be outdoors and the ground is mainly mulch, so please wear appropriate shoes. Tennesee in April can get a little chilly at night, so there will be space heaters and a fire pit at the venue.

Can I bring someone?

While we would love for everyone to have as much fun as possible, we simply cannot accomodate extra people! Unless named on the invitation, additional people are not permitted to come. The reception is on the smaller side and the brides would like to keep it that way. If you believe there was a mistake on the invitation, please contact one of the brides.

I have dietary restrictions. What do I do?

There is a question regarding this on the RSVP form, please make sure to fill it out! The venue is able to cater to many restrictions including vegetarians and celiacs. You will be taken care of!

Where should I stay?
