In September, Hurricane Helene hit Western North Carolina and caused significant destruction in the area, including Asheville. The worst-hit parts of Asheville and some of the surrounding communities have a long road to recovery, but most of Asheville is back to business as usual and excited to welcome visitors. If you're able to join us for our wedding, we hope you get a chance to enjoy the area's many local restaurants, shops, galleries, and breweries! You can find up-to-date information on road closures and businesses on Apple Maps and Google Maps. If you plan to hike or drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, we recommend checking the National Parks Service website in advance.
