Travel Note
Fall is a beautiful time to visit the southern Appalachian Mountains! The weather is often mild and pleasant, and there is a colorful myriad of foliage draped across the mountain ridges. This certainly provides an ideal setting for our wedding day, yet it has also led to Asheville becoming a top destination for out of town guests. Thus, if you anticipate being able to attend, we encourage you to secure travel and lodging reservations as soon as possible. Check out the link below for more information about Asheville and the surrounding area!
Hotel
From posh downtown hotels to rustic mountain cabins, a wide variety of accommodations are available in and around the Asheville area. Depending on what you prefer for your stay, we encourage you to explore the area's offerings. Unfortunately, most accommodations do not offer discounted rates during this peak tourist season, even with blocked rooms. Thus, due to the already heightened accommodation rates during peak season, we have found it best to have our out of town guests select accommodations that best suit their needs and desires for their stay. Rental properties (Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.) offer a unique, private, and often more reasonable experience.
