FAQs
Question
Why Asheville?
Answer
Although Caroline is from Raleigh, she grew up vacationing in Asheville and staying at The Omni Grove Park Inn. She has very fond memories of her family vacations here. When Caroline and Tyler came to look at The Grove Park Inn for their wedding, Tyler loved the atmosphere and they could both picture their guests enjoying a weekend here. He was sold as soon as he saw the giant fireplaces in the lobby!
Question
Can I bring a Guest?
Answer
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you have a 'plus one', their name will be listed on your invite or when you RSVP. If your plus one is listed by name and they are no longer able to make it, we ask that you please do not bring a different guest in their place. Otherwise, we would love to keep our wedding as an intimate event with close friends and family. Thank you for understanding!
Question
Are Children Invited?
Answer
Although we love kids, this is an adult only wedding. Unless otherwise indicated, please leave your children at home. We want you to relax, enjoy and celebrate the weekend without your little ones!
