Our Wedding

In November 2021, Zach and Kaylee met on a blind date arranged by mutual friends in Charlotte, NC. What began as a simple evening soon blossomed into a meaningful connection. Zach moved from Rochester, NY to Charlotte in 2018, seeking new opportunities. Meanwhile, Kaylee relocated from Madison, CT to Charlotte in 2012. Their paths crossed due to friends, leading to their serendipitous meeting. Their bond strengthened through shared experiences and adventures around the city. Each date brought them closer, revealing their common interests and future aspirations. On August 25th, 2024, at Rosie's Wine Garden, Zach proposed to Kaylee. Amidst the charming ambiance, Kaylee joyfully accepted, marking a significant milestone in their journey together. As they prepare to celebrate their love with friends and family in Charlotte, Zach and Kaylee are filled with excitement. Their story showcases the magic of two lives intertwining, leading to a future of love and happiness. Charlotte, the city that witnessed their individual journeys and union, will be the backdrop for their next chapter, surrounded by loved ones. Their engagement is a testament to the serendipity that brought them together and the unwavering love that will guide them forward.

Q + A

We appreciate everyone traveling to celebrate our special day! The closest airport is Charlotte Douglass International (CLT), which is a short 15 minute (7 mile) ride into town. For our guests traveling from Rochester (NY), Connecticut, or parts of Florida, you may be able to find a discounted flight via a budget airline such as Allegiant, Breeze, or Avelo into Concord-Padgett Regional Airport. The Concord airport is a short 25 minute (17 mile) ride into town.

The Westin Charlotte

We have booked a room block at the Westin. For those guests who are loyal members of another brand, or choose to stay at another hotel, there are numerous options within the city. For example, the JW Marriot is across the street and The Hilton is two blocks away. The day of the wedding, we will have a shuttle from the venue to the after party at the Westin.
