We’ve got more options than ever when it comes to location weddings. Typically, a couple has a connection to the place where they get married.
Is it somewhere you spent a special weekend (or many)? Perhaps there’s a family connection that pulls you strongly to a destination.
But there is a percentage of couples planning their wedding who aren’t set on anywhere yet, but they want to have the setting for their day to be as special as the couple themselves.
To that, we say ‘Welcome to Asheville’.
