The night before our wedding will feel less like a rehearsal and more like a big family hang-out. The air will smell like charcoal and slow-cooked barbecue—sweet and smoky.

We’ll enjoy time with the guests of honor - Sosa & Snax - and rumor has it - there will be a mechanical bull. We do encourage you to dress up and add some cowboy boots - think Western Chic .

It’ll be a night that feels perfectly “us”—casual, joyful, a little wild, and full of heart. A barbecue under the stars and one last carefree evening before “I do.”

You’ll be transported to a chill - southern backyard BBQ vibe with a live band , a smoker, and some good drinks. Yes - we mentioned the mechanical bull so much - but we’re that excited to see you ride. The only requirements for the night: have fun and take a ride on the bull. 

Elevated cowboy-chic 

This is the event where you’ll want to be comfortable and fun! Have so much fun with this western outfits. The more cowboy - the better. With a mechanical bull and BBQ cooking , there’s no reason to not have fun. Go all out!

We will provide a cowboy hat for each guest 

Q: Are children allowed?

A: No - this entire weekend is child-free … but our dog’s will be there to make up for it. 

Q: Is there parking?

A: Yes! & we do recommend renting a car at Knoxville airport for the entire weekend. 

Q: What’s on the menu? 

A: Come hungry! We will be having:

- Brisket / ribs - smoker will be smoking the meats at the party , freshness is a priority 

- Mac n Cheese / salad / corn 

- Peach cobbler 

The day we met - Morgan and I stayed up until 6am talking about life. We could have never imagined that a few short years later - we’d be making it official in the mountains. Wow! Can’t wait.

Our ceremony begins at 3:00pm, surrounded by crisp fall air and golden views, and the celebration will carry on until 11:00pm. [Ceremony begins at 3:30 on the dot, please don’t be late]

Guests will enjoy an elevated cocktail hour with breathtaking mountain views, followed by a delicious dinner, flowing drinks, and a joyful evening of dancing and celebration.

Come prepared for a black-tie mountain soirée - a romantic night filled with good company. 

Think about having an elevated western look - jackets required for men and long dresses for women. We can’t wait to see how amazing you all look! 

Black-tie event 

Because the event is in the mountains - it does tend to be much cooler than when you are down on the front range. There will be space heaters available - that being said, dress warmly. If not - let the drinks settle , the music turn up and let yourselves warm up the good old-fashioned way. 

Q: Is there parking?

A: Yes - however , this will be an open-bar event and we want you to have fun but most importantly be safe. The roads to reach the venue are windy and can be difficult to manage if you aren’t used to them. Because of this - we will be providing a shuttle service with a pick-up location where you can leave your rental and then pick it back up at the end of the night.

Keep an eye out for information regarding the shuttle service

Q: Are children allowed?

A: Like stated previously, this is a child-free event.

If you need child-care services - please reach out to Catherine to come up with the safest plan
