Our Story

Photos

My bestie of more than twenty years! I simply cannot imagine celebrating this day without her by my side! 

Rachael Desch

The day would not be complete without my sister! If things get wild, she’s either going to be the person causing it, or the person fixing it!

Jackie Smith

My sister from another mister! My daily therapist and co-parent to a million different animals - our big day simply would not be complete without her there!

Maddie Hess

Jannifer! My adult bestie who makes me so happy! There is no better hype girl and no one else I would rather twerk the night away with! 

Jennifer Bhagirat

The oldest of the Derby boys and one of the best brother-in-laws a girl could ask for! Our day would not be complete with Douglas standing at our sides and making sure Matthew makes it to the alter on time!

Doug Derby

Scott has been an amazing friend to Matthew and a great influence on us in our relationship! Having him as a part of our wedding day was such an easy decision!

Scott Bray

Larry Dale! The life of the party and the one who is going to keep everyone on their toes with his shenanigans! We couldn't imagine our day without this bearded fella by our sides. No matter what, Dale has your back!

Travel

The Southern Distilling Company is a privately-owned distilling company in Statesville, NC. For our bourbon and/or whiskey fans, this is the place for you! Not only is the facility stunning, but the bourbon is delicious - I highly recommend trying their Old Fashioned! They offer tours and tasting and they have the cutest miniature donkeys our front that you can say hello to!

Downtown Salisbury is so stinkin cute! There are cute boutiques, family owned stores, a stained glass shop and lots of places to grab a bite to eat. Salty Caper (pizza and craft beers) is one of our favorites!

Downtown Salisbury Inc

Extend your stay and explore the NC mountains! The Blue Ridge Parkway is an absolutely beautiful drive and has several places you can pull over to really take in the scenery. We are partial to Stone Mountain for a stunning hike that offers truly amazing views!

Stone Mountain State Park

This is such a great park that is just down the road from our venue! You can walk around, go paddle boarding, visit the animals at Rowan Wildlife Adventures (located inside of the park!), go gem mining, putt-putting, ride the Ferris wheel and more! Definitely worth a trip!
