Use this as an opportunity to dress your snazziest!! Keep in mind that the wedding will be outdoors in late May, so dress comfortably! I would skip the stilettos, tuxedos, and furcoats this time, although I am sure you'd look fabulous.
Parking is included onsite for up to 20 vehicles, but carpooling and assigning a designated driver is never a bad idea!
If your significant other is named on the invitation, consider them invited! We don't have room for plus ones otherwise. For our single pals, we can revisit the idea on a case by case basis once we know our final guest count!
We are serving a Carolina BBQ buffet! Come hungry! :)
We're marrying in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so there is no shortage of hotels and vacation rentals! Marion, NC has a Hampton Inn 13 minutes from the venue, and rental cottages at the Springhouse Farm, also 13 minutes from the venue! There are plenty of airbnbs nearby as well! Marion is about 40 minutes from Asheville, NC. If you're coming from out of state, I'd recommend making a trip out of it and exploring one of the most vibrant cities in NC! AVL is full of funky art, fascinating history, and tasty food! Lastly, we have 3 extra rooms for guests at our place! We do live about 45 minutes away from the venue in Cajah's Mountain, NC, but this is still a budget friendly option for family and friends coming from out of state! The house is 45 minutes from Blowing Rock, 1 hour from Boone, and 1.5 hours from Asheville, some of the prettiest towns in NC! There's also plenty to explore locally as well!
The closest airports to us/the venue are Charlotte (CLT) and Asheville (AVL). We definitely recommend checking out flights directly to Asheville, as it's 45 minutes closer, and flights are sometimes much cheaper!! We saved $400 dollars on our honeymoon flights by using AVL! It's a regional/smaller airport so that's kind of nice too!
Heck yes it will be! We're keeping it limited to wine/beer/ciders only, but there will be plenty of each! For the sake of our security deposit and your attendance the entire night, we ask that you drink responsibly and celebrate without getting "s*** faced". We know this is not always an easy task, so we appreciate you trying!
