Our Wedding

We first met about eight years ago, brought together by a shared love for racing dirt bikes. It wasn’t anything at first just two people who happened to ride dirt bikes, exchanging the occasional nod or a few words at the races. Over time, those brief conversations turned into longer chats. We’d talk about dirt bikes, weekend plans, and eventually, about life. Without realizing it, a quiet friendship started to form steady and effortless. There was never any pressure, just a natural connection that slowly deepened with every conversation. Years went by like that racing, talking, supporting each other from a distance. Then in 2023, something shifted. The friendship we’d built over the years had quietly turned into something more. We finally opened the door to what had been there all along, and started dating. Looking back now, it feels like our story was always meant to unfold this way patiently, naturally, and with just the right timing.

Please note that there is a large event going on in Sylva this weekend and coupled with the beginning of Fall season the prices are much higher than normal. We love the charm of Sylva/Dillsboro which is 9 miles from the venue. However Franklin, NC, 12 miles to the south of venue, is a great option with more reasonable hotel rates.We will also be hosting the Friday night welcome party at Currahee Brewing Company in Franklin. On the day of the wedding we will provide a complimentary shuttle for our guests staying in the local hotels in both Franklin and Dillsboro. We encourage our guests to enjoy all the festivities of the day and not have to worry about driving on the mountain roads.**Parking is limited at the venue as well.

Balcony rooms are offered with river views, as well as complimentary hot breakfast every morning.Closest hotel to the venue!
