Where is the wedding taking place?
Both the ceremony and reception will be at Athena Estate and Vineyard, the perfect backdrop for our festival-style celebration. Think wine country meets Coachella vibes!
What’s the dress code?
We’re calling it “classy festival.” Think semi-formal with a fun twist—flowy dresses, comfy-but-stylish shoes, or even a sharp suit with a pop of color. With bouncy houses, yard games, and an ice cream truck, you’ll want to look fabulous and feel comfortable.
Is the ceremony outdoors?
Yes! The ceremony is fully outdoors under a tent, rain or shine. If Mother Nature decides to shower us with love, we won’t change the setup—so keep an eye on the forecast and bring your festival-best rain gear just in case!
What time should I arrive?
The gates to #KazFest25 open at 2:00 PM. Be sure to grab your spot because the main event—the ceremony—kicks off at 2:30 PM sharp!
Are kids welcome?
We love the little ones, but for this party, we’re keeping it 13+. If you must bring your child, there’s a playground and activities on-site to keep them entertained. Just a heads-up: the reception will include adult beverages and popular dance tunes—so keep that in mind!
Are there places to stay nearby?
Absolutely! Check out the “Places to Stay” tab on our website for some great options. Whether you’re looking for cozy or fancy, we’ve got you covered.
How do I get to the venue?
Athena Estate and Vineyard is just 5 minutes from the heart of Beckley, WV. Pop the address into your GPS, and you’ll be festival-bound in no time!
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes, and plenty of it! Plus, for anyone who needs a little help getting around, we’ve got golf carts to whisk you to the ceremony site in style.
Are there room blocks for hotels?
We didn’t reserve room blocks, but you’ll find everything you need on the “Places to Stay” tab.
What’s the wedding day schedule?
Head over to the “Schedule” tab for all the details. It’s your festival program for the day!
Will there be food and drinks before the reception?
Yes! Cocktail hour will feature light bites, pastries, and drinks to keep the party vibes going.
How do I RSVP?

Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We’re having an unplugged ceremony. Put your phones away and enjoy the moment with us! Our photographers and videographers will capture everything beautifully. But after the ceremony, snap and share to your heart’s content!
