 LODGING:
If you scheduled your lodging with us and it is not included in your wedding package above, it was booked separately through Little Log Vacation Rentals. Quotes are frequently given at the office to include both but they are two separate companies; therefore, they are frequently processed as two separate reservations. Little Log Vacation Rentals will attach a Rental Agreement to your Client Profile (separate from your Wedding Confirmation Letter) that will also need to be electronically signed whether your lodging is included in your package or has been booked separately. Please contact Little Log Vacation Rentals at littlelogvacationrentals@gmail.com for any questions or concerns about your rental.

 REHEARSAL:
If you have not done so, you may contact our office and schedule a formal 30 minute rehearsal for $200.00. Otherwise, the minister/officiant will speak with the couple separately just before the ceremony. For a formal rehearsal: Please provide the included directions and GPS warning to your wedding party. Arrive at the chapel about 15 minutes prior to appointment time. Rehearsals run smoother when only those participating in the ceremony are present. Please bring any items that your wedding coordinator may need for your ceremony; such as, special music, candles, guest books, sand kits, etc. If you are using our minister/officiant and have already been issued your marriage license, please bring it with you.

 GUEST INFORMATION:
Please keep in mind that the prices are based on the number of guests that we have previously quoted.  If your guest list changes in any way, please let us know as soon as possible.  Everyone but the couple are considered as guests.  Guests added prior to the wedding day are $10.00 per person plus fees for additional time, if needed.  If more than the allotted amount of guests arrive on the day of the wedding, there will be a $15.00 charge per person automatically charged to the card on file.  The amount of guests strongly affect the amount of time needed as well as chapel staffing and set up. We recommend planning on the most amount of guests possible as it is always easier to reduce time than add to it later.  We will seat all guest 10 minutes prior to the ceremony.  It is very important that everyone attending be on time.  We are unable to wait on late arriving family and friends.  There is absolutely no drinking of alcohol permitted on the chapel property unless otherwise approved by the chapel staff.

 DECORATIONS IN THE CHAPEL/FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS:
All chapel decorations are to remain as they are unless previously approved and purchased through the chapel office. If you choose to provide your own flowers for bouquets, boutonnieres, and/or corsages, please designate a person to be in charge of pinning and overseeing that the proper people receive their flowers. That person should arrive to the chapel with the couple. Please have all flowers arranged when they arrive at the chapel, we will not wait for anyone to arrange flowers nor do we supply additional supplies or tools.

 SPECIALTY ITEMS:
Inform your wedding coordinator of any items not provided by the chapel that you are bringing for your wedding day. Please bring these items to the chapel, if at all possible, the day prior to your wedding. (Guests Books, Memorial Items, Music, Bouquet Charms, Signs, etc.) Items which require a display may incur an additional fee(s) and will automatically be charged to the card on file.  All frames must be self standing.

 ARRIVAL INSTRUCTIONS:

We also request that the couple arrive with hair and/or makeup completed. Dressing rooms will not be available after the ceremony nor are they available for guest or attendants. The minister/officiant will rehearse with the couple, separately, along with the wedding party prior to the ceremony. Remember that you are required to bring a Tennessee Marriage License. We will start on time if the couple are present and dressed. It is not possible for us to wait for late family and friends. Please make sure that any attire, Marriage License, and rings arrive with the couple. You will not be allowed to travel back to your place of lodging for these items.

They may also take photos outside after the photographer has completed their photo session. We do not allow guests to follow or shadow our photographer during your photo shoot as this is how they make a living and provide for their families.
