We are planning a black-tie optional / formal event. Ladies please wear a long dress. Men a dark suit or tux is great. Please refer to the color palette in your invitations for ideas. Think fall colors.
In late September in North Carolina is should be in the high 60's - low 70's during the day and high 50's in the evening. A light jacket is recommended.
We have a hotel block at Hotel Sylva, a cute boutique hotel close to the venue. We are working closely with them to create a fun weekend for everyone so we highly recommend everyone stays there.
No transportation will not be provided. Please plan on ubering or renting a car.
The closest airport is Asheville. From there you have about an hour drive into Sylva. The venue is only about 25 min from Hotel Sylva.
The ceremony begins promptly at 5:30pm. Please plan to be there around 5:00 pm. The wedding events will go until 10:30pm
The ceremony itself is outside on the lawn overlooking the gorgeous North Carolina mountains. Cocktail hour & the reception will also be outside. Depending on weather heaters will be provided for our comfort. Dinner will be provided, and full access to the castle is available for the entirety of the event for all guests.
Due to the intentionality of keeping a small intimate wedding, if your invitation did not state a plus one, no you may not.
I have provided some popular things to do in the "Things To Do" section of the website.
No, we are so grateful that everyone is traveling for us. We please request that you join us for the welcome party Sunday afternoon.
