One of the reasons we chose Asheville as the place for our wedding is the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you've never seen them, GO SEE THEM. If you're driving in from the Midwest, you'll bear witness to Emily's FAVORITE drive ever.

There are so many hiking trails in the AVL area ranging from easy to difficult depending on what you're interested in. If you're really up for a challenge, a Michaels family favorite is Shining Rock :)

Did you know Asheville is the brewery capital of America? It's home to the most breweries per capita! They are literally on every corner downtown. Check out our favorite, Wicked Weed, or the tons of others just a hops away.

Visit America's largest home! There are hiking trails, gardens, house tours, shopping, a spa and a restaurant all at the Biltmore Estate.
