What is the easiest way to get to and from the wedding venue?
Heading out of Boone on Hwy US-421 S, take the exit ramp onto Hwy US-221 N and continue 2.5 miles. Turn right onto Idlewild road, and continue for 3.5 miles. Turn right onto Phillips Gap Rd and continue 2.1 miles until it intersects with the Blue Ridge Parkway. Turn LEFT on the parkway and go a short distance to the next full gravel road on your right (which is Phillips Gap Rd continuing on the other side of the parkway). Turn right onto this road marked by the green street sign that says Phillips Gap Rd and continue one mile. Turn right onto Cascade Drive and continue to reach the Grand Event Hall at the end of Cascade Dr.
Will There be parking on-site?
Parking attendants will guide you once you are on the property, and plenty of parking is available on site.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Both! The ceremony will be outside to the left of the reception hall overlooking the mountains. Please dress warmly depending on the weather. The cocktail hour will be on the veranda, and the reception will be inside the reception hall.
What is the wedding dress code?
Cocktail attire includes fun dresses in any length you are most comfortable in and suits or a dress shirt and tie for the men. Since we are getting married on New Year's Eve, have fun with your attire!
Am I allowed to bring my children or a plus one?
Please only bring those listed on the RSVP link. If you have questions, please let the bride or groom know.
