Airports
Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport
Chatanooga Airport (CHA) is the closest airport to our wedding venue, with just a 16 minute drive between CHA and The Gray Dove. For our international loved ones, CHA would be a wise airport to fly into once you make it to the USA through your preferred international hub!

McGhee Tyson Airport
For anyone looking to spend more time with us prior to the wedding, we currently live in Knoxville, Tennessee. This is approximately 1.5 hours north of Chattanooga, Tennessee where the wedding is taking place. The closest airport to us is McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) just south of Knoxville.
We don't have too much seating in our vehicles so anyone looking to fly into Knoxville will need to figure out transportation down to Chattanooga.

Sightseeing
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The Great Smoky Mountains are a mountain range rising along the Tennessee–North Carolina border in the southeastern United States. They are gorgeous, and a big part of why Taylor and Austin fell in love with Appalachia (the encompassing name for the Appalachian Mountainous region that lines the East Coast of the US) The Great Smoky Mountain National Park has 187,000 acres of forested peaks with scenic views & recreation.
If you are able to spend an extra day or two in the area, we highly suggest getting a rental and exploring the National Parks, going for a hike, or at the least checking out a scenic overlook.
