We encourage y'all to wear semi-formal or cocktail attire! We'll be outside for the ceremony (weather permitting). The grass can get a bit soft, so maybe skip stilettos. * Bring a coat or sweater! The nights can get chilly* If you're joining us for Welcome Drinks on Thursday, casual is great!
Unless personally told otherwise by the bride or groom, children are not invited. We love your kids but we needed to limit the number of guests given the size of our families. We know that this presents an issue for many of the invited parents, but please understand that we are trying to have as many of our friends and families experience our special day with us as we can.
Yes, we will have shuttle service to and from the wedding. A transportation schedule will be provided to guests 1 week before the event. Please review the schedule to determine what time you will be picked up for the event- Ubers and Cabs are not available in this area. The pick up time will not be flexible so please be ready at the appropriate time. *The shuttle service can't guarantee they can get down every driveway. Please text Erika or Todd your house address or the link to the rental listing so we can figure out if the shuttle can get to you. We will let you know asap if your driveway is one of these.
Banner Elk has a number of restaurants, some closer than others. Our rehearsal dinner and the welcome drinks are being held in a private room at Sorrento's. If you wanted to make a reservation at the same restaurant, you would have a short walk to the welcome drinks at 7pm! There is also Banner Elk Cafe, Stonewalls, LP on Main, Bayou Smokehouse & Grill, and 10 more minutes down the road is Reid's Cafe and Luna Thai & Sushi. Please make reservations if possible so you can get to Welcome Drinks as close to 7pm as possible. Also, there is a pizza place in Beech Mountain that is really good, Brick Oven Pizzeria, if you wanted to do something more casual.
There is no grocery store or liquor store in Beech Mountain, however, Fred's General Mercantile carries some snacks, wine, and any other item you may have left behind. The nearest grocery store (Lowes Food) and liquor store is located in Banner Elk which is only a 20 minute drive away!
On Beech: -Poppy’s Coffee Shop. Coffee and small pastries and homemade treats. Banner Elk: -Banner Elk Cafe. Coffee shop and full breakfast. I don’t think they take reservations so get there early. -Bella’s Breakfast & Lunch -Dunn’s Deli
While we hate that Covid is even a thing still, we ask that if possible please take a rapid test Friday morning. There are several people coming that have compromised immune systems. The last thing we want our wedding to be is a superspreader event.
