Question

Is your wedding actually on a Thursday?

Answer

Yup! You read the date correctly. It sure is. Why? Venues are a lot cheaper on weekdays than weekends!

Question

What hotel options do you have?

Answer

Please check the Travel section of the website for our options.

Question

My invite says your wedding is in Georgia...I thought it was in Chattanooga!

Answer

Well, technically, it's in the Chattanooga area! For those that aren't from this part of the country, Chattanooga is literally on the border of Tennessee and Georgia. While the venue is technically in Georgia, it's only 20 minutes from downtown Chattanooga proper. Keep your eyes on this site for more updates on options for travel between the venue and hotels!

Question

The venue is 20 minutes from Chattanooga. What's the best way to get there?

Answer

Literally every guest is coming from out of town, and we realize and very much appreciate it! We have shuttles! The shuttles will be departing from the Moxy Chattanooga Downtown at 3 PM sharp on Thursday! That should get passengers to the venue and in their seats before 4 PM. There will be two shuttle departure times: An 8:30 PM early shuttle and a 10 PM final shuttle. Please don't drink and drive!

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

We ask that you try to arrive around 3:30 to allow plenty of time to find your seat and settle in.

Question

Will the wedding be outdoors or indoors?

Answer

The plan is outdoors (weather permitting!). If there is inclement weather, there is a tent on site where the ceremony will be conducted.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Is casual-formal a thing? Don't wear sweat pants but it's a wedding, wear something fun! You know that thing in the closet you've wanted to break out for a special occasion? Now's the time!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

If it says on your invitation, yes! If it does not, we kindly ask that you don't!

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

If it says "family" on your invitation, yes.

Question

What sort of food will be served? Will there be options for dietary restrictions?

Answer

The most comfortable of comfort food. Basically tacos, pizza, cookies, cupcakes, and donuts. If that doesn't make you excited, we don't know what will. That being said, we will have vegan, dairy, and gluten free options across the board!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Of course! Silas works in the whiskey industry. For those of you that have not met the Boyle family, this is a requirement. That being said, TIP THE BARTENDERS! If you don't drink, we will have plenty of yummy N/A options like soda, tea, seltzer, and punch!

Question

Can I take photos of your ceremony?

Answer

No! We respectfully ask that you keep your devices, phones, iPads, and cameras to yourself at the ceremony. We paid for a very, very talented photographer to capture our moment and we prefer that to be the only means it is captured. We do not want phones in the air like we're performers at some weird concert. However, after the ceremony and at the reception, please take as many photos and make as many memories as you like!

Question

So I took some photos at your wedding....can I post them?

Answer

Please don't! At least not right off the bat. If it's a story post of the reception and it disappears in 24 hours, that's fine. However, we respectfully ask that you wait to post any photos of us at our wedding until we have received and posted the final pictures from our photographer. We will also have Polaroids and 35mm film cameras at the ceremony as our sort of "guest book." After we get them developed, any great pictures that are taken of individuals, we will personally send out digital scans of some of the greatest hits!

Question

When I can post, is there a wedding hashtag?

Answer

Yep! Either #idowithpettigrew or #pettigrewsaysido

Question

I still have questions? Where can I ask?

Answer

Send them to our wedding email: idowithpettigrew@gmail.com
