We have blocked off rooms at the Courtyard Marriott in Boone. There is a Holiday Inn across the street and a Comfort Suites two doors down from the Marriott. Boone is about a 25 minute drive from the venue. If you prefer to stay closer to the venue, there is a Best Western in Banner Elk and many AirBNB and cabin rentals nearby.

Yes, we are providing round trip shuttle service from the Courtyard Marriott-Boone. We have room for 55 passengers who would rather ride than drive. The buses will start picking up passengers at 2:30 pm. The last shuttle back to the hotel will leave at 11pm. -- If you intend to ride, please answer the transportation question on the RSVP page.

As we explored options for the ceremony and reception, it became clear that most of our friends and family would enjoy a more casual event. So, we steered clear of formality and many of the trappings of a traditional wedding. This is a Semi-formal event. Please dress to impress. Evening gowns, dresses, pant suits. Button up shirts, slacks, dinner jacket.
