For places to stay we highly suggest finding some friends/family and renting a house. There are tons of cool places near the venue around Banner Elk (check out Eagles Nest, Airbnb, and Vrbo to find some of the best places and prices). If that doesn't work we have some rooms reserved at the TownePlace Suites in Boone, NC which is a 32 minute drive from the venue. Rooms are reserved at a discounted rate under the reservation "Easley Wedding". Rooms will be held until 8/14/24 so please make sure you put in your reservations before that date.
