Travel
September is the high season in Asheville. Please make your arrangements as soon as possible for the best rates and availability.
Getting In
We recommend flying into Asheville Regional Airport (20 min drive) or Greenville-Spartanburg Airport (1 hour drive). Charlotte-Douglas Airport (1 hour 45 min drive) is also a viable option.
Getting Downtown
There a lots of ways to get in downtown! There are car rental options, and Lyft and Uber are relatively inexpensive.
Hotel Room Block - Homewood Suites by Hilton Asheville-Tunnel Road
A block of rooms has been reserved for September 20 - September 22, 2019. The special room rate will be available until August 30th or until the group block is sold-out, whichever comes first.
AirBnB and VRBO
There are plenty of beautiful homes for rent for groups, couples and/or families on websites like AirBNB and VRBO. We recommend looking for a home near the downtown Asheville area as ride-shares like Lyft and Uber aren't as widespread on the outskirts of town.
Hotel Room Block - Hyatt Place Asheville
This room block is currently full, however, there is a 15% off discount code available over our wedding weekend! This is a “floating” rate, so it does not lock you into one price, but offers 15% off of the standard rate at the time of booking. If interested, you can follow the link below to view the rates and/or make a reservation, or call 1-800-993-4751 and request the Explore Asheville/Wedding rate.
All guests booking with this discount are still welcome to complimentary breakfast (for World of Hyatt members), complimentary wifi, pool/fitness center, and access to The Montford.
Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
Can I bring a date?
Unfortunately due to our venue we are very limited on space so extra guests not on the invites cannot not be accommodated, but we sincerely hope that you can still be present at this important event in our lives.
Are kids welcome?
We love all of the children in our life, but due to space, we simply couldn't invite them all, and as such, our wedding is adults only.
Where should I park?
Your hotel or home rental may have parking on their premises, otherwise there are many parking garages located throughout downtown Asheville.
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Dinner and lawn games will be held in a tent on grass, but drinks and dancing will be held indoors with solid floors. Please be cognizant of this when deciding on footwear as we want everyone to be comfortable.
