We would love to be able to include children and guests at our ceremony and reception; however, Cedric's Garden has an absolute maximum capacity of 60 people. Therefore, if we have not included your children or your guest on the wedding invitation, it is with great regret that we were not able to include them. We understand your disappointment and apologize for the inconvenience. We hope that you will still join us to help us celebrate our special day!

Formal, but not black tie. Men: Slacks, and button-up. Tie and jacket optional. Women: Either cocktail length dress or evening gown length dress. We want you to be comfortable, so it doesn't have to be a fancy ball gown! There will be stairs from ceremony to cocktail hour location. Cedric's Garden has a natural stone patio, so high heels are not required or expected! It's your preference. Fall in the mountains of NC may be hot, warm, cool or rainy! Please bring umbrellas and rain jackets and/or sweater/shawl. There is A LOT of walking at the Biltmore! There are many stairs in the main Estate. There is one very tiny elevator in the main house, if you need it. If you have difficulty walking, please bring a cane or walker with you. I do believe they have wheel chairs available, on a first come, first serve basis. PLEASE BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES!!! There are brick and natural stone walkways in certain areas. ** If you have mobility issues, we suggest you stay at the hotel on the property at Antler Hill Village. It is a VERY SHORT walk from the hotel to our ceremony and reception site. It also has benches along the way, if you need to rest.

If you decide to stay on the Biltmore Estate at one of their two hotels, they do have a shuttle service from the hotels to the main house, winery, gardens, and Antler Hill Village. Please consult the map of the property that was included... The Biltmore is 8,000 acres, and many times, it may take 20 min to get from one location to another on the property.

If you are local, or you do not choose to stay on the Biltmore Estate, on the day of the wedding, just tell the guard at the gate that you are with the Keller/Ransmeier wedding at Cedric's Garden.

Yes. The Biltmore is able to accommodate dietary needs. On the wedding response card that will be mailed to you, there is an area to note your dietary restrictions. There will be vegetarian and vegan options. Amanda Grace is gluten free, so there will be plenty of gluten free!

On the day of our wedding, we are permitted to take our wedding photos anywhere on the property, up until 5pm. We will be providing a 14 person shuttle bus, to take members of the wedding party and some of our family members to take wedding photos together at the main house and gardens before guests may arrive at our ceremony at 5:30pm. Those immediate family members and wedding party are asked to participate. We will give details closer to the date.

Yes. The wedding party, and immediate family are requested to attend the rehearsal on Saturday, September 27th. The ETA is 3pm at Cedric's Garden. The Biltmore will confirm the time closer to the date. We then ask that immediate family and the wedding party and their partner, join us for the rehearsal dinner at Posana Restaurant in downtown Asheville. The estimated time is 6pm-9pm. We will confirm closer to the date. Posana is our favorite restaurant in Asheville. Local, farm to table. The entire restaurant is gluten-free and you would NEVER know! They will also accommodate food allergies. Alert the event manager at the start of the dinner. They also accommodate vegan/vegetarian diets.

We look forward to our wedding weekend and celebrating with each and every one of you. You all are, and have been, important in our journey as individuals and as a couple. Our friends and family represent a diverse community; we are asking that everyone comes together in the spirit of joy and unity. We ask that you refrain from political or social or religious debates during our wedding celebration. Let our wedding celebration highlight what makes us all gloriously human and unique and beautiful! Let us focus on what unites us, and what we share in common, rather than any perceived differences. Let's celebrate LOVE!♡ xoxo
