Which Wedding Scenario is Better??

I like #2 also.

I like 2 but 2 includes dinner also right? Did I miss that?

#1 is damn near the exact thing we are doing! For our group of guests this plan will work. And we also like having the space for people to sleep after drinking.

I prefer #2. As a guest, I would be more comfortable with a pre-determined beginning and end time.

Team brewery! I'd be happier with a definite timeframe.

Yes, def dinner catered by the brewery. I have already rented the cabin and I rented large enough to accommodate all the guests, but I am thinking all at one place would be better now and then the VIPs would come back to the cabin to hang out. We are going to Gatlinburg on MLK weekend to tour possibilities and finalize the ceremony site.

The brewery thing would also include a tour and tasting.

The brewery does sound fun though. Ours is largely due to do saving money.

#2 because of the time frame. I would be annoyed at guests who like to stay wayyyy too long than normal.

We got married and had our reception at a wine bar, so I'm team brewery! You can always have an after party if you guys want to keep the celebration going.

#2. You could also have people come back to the cabin for an after party if that's what you want.

I prefer #2. Y'all could always go back to the rental cabin as the after party type thing.

Chaos-same here. We wanted to save money. We were planning to have wedding/reception at the residence but I lost my original venue (a rental estate home) due to date change so now we are just planning reception at a large cabin because there is not really a good place to have the ceremony. That's where the chapel idea came in but after talking about it more, logistically it might make more sense to have the whole thing away from the cabin.

Still undecided. Parking is an issue with the cabin so we will need to pay for transportation and we are hiring a server for the alcohol so that combined it about $600-$800. We could use that toward food/booze

BTW, it's a whiskey brewery

The thing that sounds appealing about number 2 is that you won't have to do anything. They will take care of the drinks and food and chairs and tablessed. It's like a one stop shop and it makes it less stressful.

#2 for sure.
