There will be transportation provided on Saturday evening to and from the venue, departing from Downtown Highlands at 5:30 PM. The transportation will depart outside of 200 Main (200 Main Street, Highlands, NC 28741). If you are staying outside of downtown Highlands and would like to be picked up/dropped off directly where you are staying, we recommend arranging transportation ahead of time via one of the local transportation services like Mountain Motor Coach.
We have limited room block availability for the Sheppard/McDaniel wedding at Old Edwards Inn and 200 Main.
Friday night is cocktail attire and we encourage you to layer in “mountain chic” elements. Whether that’s a hat, statement belt, boots, or other accessories - just have fun with it! For men, jackets but no tie needed. Saturday night is black tie optional. Men have option to wear tuxedo or dark suit and tie. Floor length or midi dresses are perfect for women.
Friday Evening (Welcome Party): All guests are invited to join for cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres from 6-8:30 PM. The event is indoor/outdoor so we recommend bringing a jacket if you plan to spend some time in the outdoor areas. Saturday Evening (Wedding Ceremony and Reception): This event will be black-tie optional. The wedding ceremony and reception will all be on the same grounds, but in varying settings. Walking distances will be minimal. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors (if weather permits) and reception will be indoors. It is recommended women bring a coat/shawl.
There are several great bars you can walk to in downtown Highlands. Some of our favorites are The Ugly Dog, Townhall Highlands, and Hummingbird Lounge.
