We hope you will consider sustainable practices whenever possible (i.e., traveling, supporting local). We strive to leave places better than we found it!
Wedding weekend events will be in the Downtown Blowing Rock area + / - 1 mile. There are many things to do around the area that you can drive to, and a car is recommend. We will provide transportation to and from downtown Blowing Rock to the wedding. Our hope is that you can walk to all events and enjoy the lovely town!
We are keeping this a 21+ guest list, unfortunately there are no exceptions outside of our flower girl and ring bearers. We greatly appreciate your understanding!
With COVID restrictions and our numbers currently dependent on 50% capacity of the venue, we ask all guests to RSVP only for the names addressed on the wedding invitation envelop. We look forward to having some BIG wedding anniversary celebrations in the years to come to celebrate with our friends and family we love so dearly that are unable to attend our 2020 celebration. Thank you kindly for understanding. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
