Important Info
Consider this your wedding day cheat sheet! You'll find everything from RSVP details to where we'll be celebrating after the ceremony.
You should have received a text message invitation with RSVP instructions. Please submit your RSVP by August 1, 2026, and let us know whether you plan to join us for dinner following the ceremony. If you did not receive your invitation, please contact Kendall or Blake as soon as possible.
Our ceremony will take place in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Approximately one month before the wedding, we will update this page with a GPS pin and exact location details. Until then, the ceremony location will be somewhere along the Foothills Parkway near Wears Valley or Townsend. If you are booking lodging in Gatlinburg, you will be within a reasonable driving distance of the ceremony site.
Guests are responsible for arranging their own accommodations.
There are many cabin rentals, vacation homes, hotels, and Airbnb options near Gatlinburg. We recommend booking early, because September is the beginning of peak season.

More information can be found here.
We may also organize optional carpool meet-up locations closer to the wedding date.
Due to National Park regulations, we are only permitted to have six chairs at the ceremony site.
The ceremony itself will be brief (approximately 10 minutes) and most guests should plan to stand during the service.
Following the ceremony, we will be taking family photos, friend photos, and several group photos. Additional details will be shared as the wedding date approaches.
We will gather for dinner following the ceremony at Bella in Maryville.
Dinner will be held from approximately 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM and will be about a 30-minute drive from the ceremony location.

Gift Registries
Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for, and we kindly request that no gifts be brought to Tennessee.
A formal reception will be held in Indy in early 2027. For those who wish to give a gift, we would be honored to receive it at that time.
We can't wait to celebrate with you.
