Travel & Accomodations - Please Read!

OK friends and fam, here's the deal. We booked our wedding in one of the most popular destination sites in NC for this time of year. Not on purpose, but it just worked out that way for the weather we're seeking. Everyone comes to the Asheville/Blue Ridge Parkway area in October to view the leaves changing. You will want to book ahead! Hotels will be outrageously priced--I'm talking $400/night for the "nice" hotels and then about $150/night for the "maybe I should have brought my own sheets" kind of motels. I'd HIGHLY recommend booking an Airbnb/VRBO or even a Bed & Breakfast. With that being said, at the time that I'm updating this page, a decent hotel on the cheaper end of the spectrum ($214/nt) is listed below. Scroll down for other options. Hotwire has the "blind booking" option that lets you select the # of hotel stars for a specific area for a set price and that can provide a cheap alternative as well.

Hotel

Holiday Inn Asheville - Biltmore West

435 Smokey Park Highway
Asheville, NC 28806
 (828) 665-2161

We did not block off rooms as they would have made me sign a contract. This is a decent hotel and at the time I'm writing this, the rooms are $214/night. The prices will likely increase as we get closer to October so I'd recommend booking ASAP if you know you're attending.

Hotel

Hotwire

Hotwire offers "Hot Rate" options where you basically select the # of hotel stars and a specific geographic area around the specified city. You book it somewhat blindly, but it at least guarantees the hotel star rating and it will often tell you equivalent hotels and sometimes even tell you which hotel the last person who booked that option received. This is a great way to save $$! **warning: the last time we booked this option in Asheville, it gave us a "Smoking" room. Once you find out the hotel name, I'd recommend calling right after to make sure you're selected for a Non-smoking room if that is your preference.

The Chocolate Cabin

899 Old Highway 20
Alexander, NC, NC 28701
 

I did go ahead and book a 3 bedroom (+ sunroom with a full size bed) cabin for part of the wedding party if they choose to stay here for Friday and Saturday night. If you wish to stay in the cabin, please contact Chris or myself. It would probably work out to be $120/person for both nights stay, depending on the number of people staying in the house. The cabin is just 1.3 miles from the venue.

For all the days along the way
