Questions
Where will the wedding take place?
The entire wedding weekend will take place at The Swag. The Swag’s mountaintop views and private entrance into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park make the 250+ acre property special.
​
If you choose to fly, there are two nearby airports:

3 hour drive from The Swag
-

Where can I park?
Upon check-in at The Swag, a valet will take your car. Your car will be parked at the bottom of the mountain, and the staff will chauffer you up the mountain in a property vehicle after check-in.
​
You will not have car access during the weekend unless a Swag staff member brings you back down the mountain. Resort SUVs will bring your suitcase(s) directly to your room upon check-in.
When will activities begin?
Activities will begin at 4 p.m. on Friday. The full weekend agenda can be found on the Event Schedule page.
What should I wear?
The Schedule will include suggested attire for each activity. Our wedding ceremony and reception will require dark suits and floor-length dresses. Please note that our ceremony will take place on a grassy surface, and high heels may not be optimal. Given the time of year and elevation, it may be chilly. Please consider sensible layers. Please see the schedule for further details.
How do I reserve accommodations for the weekend?
We are so excited to celebrate with those who mean the most to us! We will handle and cover our guests' accommodations and meals throughout the weekend. If you would like to extend your stay, please contact The Swag directly.
​
All we ask is that you get there safely to celebrate with us!
How do I select my meals for the weekend?
The Swag is an all-inclusive resort, so you will not have to worry about meals throughout the weekend. For Saturday's lunch, the Concierge will assist you in making your meal selections on Friday evening.
​
If you have specific dietary needs, please let either Erica or Jordi know prior to August 1, 2025.
What will the weather be like?
During the day, temperatures will peak around 75F/24C. In the evenings, expect 50F/10C. Due to the elevation, temperatures will be 10 degrees cooler than the forecast number for the valley.
Can I bring my kids?
No.
Where's your registry?
In lieu of gifts, we request donations to organizations that mean the most to us. Please see our Registry page for additional information.
Will Rory be there?
