The kitchen
Catering, from here.
Food actually cooked on the estate, by a kitchen that works it every weekend — from the rehearsal dinner to breakfast on Sunday.
Read this first
Weddings are stressful. This one does not have to be.
Most of the stress of a wedding is not the wedding. It is eleven companies who have never met, four hotels, a room that opens at four because it was being reset until three, and a timeline somebody else wrote. None of that is on the property.
What is left is the day, and the two of you in it.
One at a time
The whole estate. One wedding. Ever.
Larger estates around here run two or three weddings on a Saturday. This one holds one, and holds it for the weekend. The gate closes on Friday behind one family and does not open for anyone else until you leave.
So nothing on the property is timed around anyone but you. The ceremony happens when the light is best, not when the room is free. The rehearsal happens where the vows will. The music runs as late as your people do.
Walk the EstateNot here
The list of things you will not find.
- A second wedding on the property
- A shuttle between the ceremony and the party
- A room that opens at four and closes at eleven
- A tent, or a fee to move indoors
- A vendor you have to find yourself
- A room number
Everything on that list is where the stress comes from. It is simply not here.
No travel, no rush
You arrive once.
You wake up where you are getting married. Hair can start at five, because the aisle is a short walk from the room you slept in. Guests walk from the ceremony to the deck to dinner; nobody drives between anything, and nobody starts looking for their keys at eleven.
Your family is not at a hotel by the interstate. They are up the hill, and they come down for breakfast. Fifteen minutes from downtown Chattanooga, six from a hotel for anyone who needs one, thirty from the airport.
Where everyone sleepsEverything is thought of
Bring your people. The rest is here.
Tables, chairs, linens and thirty thousand dollars of decor are already on the property. The kitchen is ours. The crew that sets up, clears, drives the carts and parks the cars has done it here hundreds of times. And the person designing the day is trained to design how a moment feels.
The design
Built around you, by Kobi.
There is no standard floor plan. Yours is drawn with you by a designer trained at SCAD and Disney to think about what a guest feels, not only what a room looks like. Meet Kobi.
The weather
It rained, and nothing changed.
Glass, cover and the whole property to move into. No tent, no five o’clock panic, no flip fee. Everything that is included.
Everyone here will call you by your first name.
Not a number
You are not a Saturday. You are a name.
This is a family estate, not a sales office. The people who answer your first message are the people who will be on the property at eleven at night on your Saturday. By the rehearsal they will know your mother’s name too, and which cousin needs to be nowhere near the speakers.
The estate will grow. Nobody who marries here will ever be a room number.
When you are ready
Let’s talk about yours.
Tell us a little about the two of you and the day you are imagining. A person writes back, by name, and the visit comes whenever it suits you.
