We wanted to get married somewhere in the mountains where we could spend more than just one evening with our friends and family. After searching far and wide, we fell in love with a venue that was perfect for the outdoor adventure we imagined!
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Courtyard Marriott in Boone, NC, which is the closest town and about half an hour away. There are also airbnbs in the area. Check out our Travel page for details!
Yes, because Ubers in the area are sparse, we will have a shuttle bus for the ceremony and reception on Saturday. The shuttle will leave the Courtyard Mariott in Boone at 4:30pm sharp! The venue also has parking, so if you prefer, you are also welcome to drive/carpool with a designated driver.
Sugar Hollow Retreat is an over 300-acre property with hiking trails, amazing mountain views, and river access for kayaking or fishing. Cell service is spotty, but all of the buildings and homes on the property have wifi. The area is remote, the roads are narrow and dirt. We recommend renting a car with four wheel drive so you feel as comfortable as possible, though most cars will not have an issue. If you aren’t a confident driver, we recommend carpooling or taking the shuttle. Although we think this place is incredible and would love to share it with all of our guests, we understand this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea!
Yes, we are happy for you to bring your little ones, however there will not childcare provided onsite.
You know it! We will have cocktails, beer, and wine.
