We started looking in 2019 for the perfect venue to host Ally Bowe and Tyler Hughe’s Fall 2020 wedding. Not only did the family want a beautiful setting with a 5 star kitchen, they wanted their guests to be able to stay on site since many were traveling from out of town. The decision was easy - RT Lodge in Maryville, TN.
The wedding weekend started on Friday morning with a Bride’s brunch and ample activities for the guests to enjoy on property from hiking to biking or just enjoying a beverage on the many porches complete with rockers. Honestly, RT Lodge couldn’t be a more perfect place to gather with friends and celebrate in style!
After rehearsal, the True Bluegrass Band welcomed guests gathered on the front lawn for drinks and an authentic BBQ Dinner hosted by Lorine and John Bowe. The weather was perfect and guests lingered into the night under the stars and bistro lights.
We planned with Ally throughout the year to make sure her wedding weekend reflected her fall color palette and elegant, yet comfortable, southern style which carried through from Friday’s Welcome Dinner to the Reception design and the personal bouquets and boutonnieres.
Friday night was the perfect prelude for Ally & Tyler’s big day. Saturday morning started with breakfast treats in the Lodge prepared by Chef Trevor and sunshine streaming through the wooded property. Guests socialized while the wedding party started to prepare and our vendors arrived to begin set-up for the celebration ahead!
First looks, love, friends, sorority sisters, dancing, horse and carriage, floral clouds, rain plan, plated 4 course meal, late-night sliders, and even your favorite four-legged besties…all a part to make this magical weekend at beautiful RT Lodge one for the books!
