We won't have scheduled transportation to/from the Knoxville airport to RT Lodge, as guests will be arriving at different times. However, Uber, Lyft, and rental car options are readily available at the airport. Since all wedding events will be held onsite at RT Lodge, you won't need additional transportation if you're staying there, unless you plan to explore the area on Friday or Saturday individually.

Please note that the UT vs. UGA football game is on 9/13, so hotels in the Knoxville area are booking up quickly. If you are not staying at RT Lodge, we recommend booking your accommodations as soon as possible to ensure availability.

Check in is at 3pm on Friday. Check out is at 11am on Sunday. Feel free to check with reception if you are looking for an early check in or late check out.

Parking and breakfast are both included in your stay at RT Lodge. Don't miss out on the delicious breakfast served daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, and nightly s'mores by the fire pit. If you are staying at another hotel, you are welcome to come to RT Lodge for breakfast and other activities outside of our wedding events.

On Saturday, The Morningside Room will be open for lunch from 12:00 to 2:00 PM, and the bar will be open from 12:00 to 4:00 PM.

Maryville, TN is close to where Claire's dad Doug and his three siblings (Nancy, Connie and Eric) grew up in Oak Ridge, TN. Claire spent many years visiting East Tennessee and has fond memories of the Holmberg's family farm in Oliver Springs and hiking trips in the Smokies. Since they started dating 5 years ago, Connor has also had the opportunity to get to know and love Tennessee. We are excited to show the rest of our friends and family this special place!

Children are welcome to stay at RT Lodge for the weekend; however, we kindly ask that our wedding celebration itself be an adults-only event. We hope you’ll enjoy a night off to relax and celebrate with us! If you have any questions about childcare, please feel free to reach out to our Maid of Honor, Emily Jedlicka, at (502) 424-2649.
