What to Expect

An Autumn Evening
in the Blue Ridge

October in the mountains is nothing short of breathtaking — and we've chosen one of its finest evenings to say our vows outdoors. Picture the sun dropping low over the ridgeline, the trees ablaze in burgundy and gold, and the crisp mountain air carrying just enough of a chill to make it feel like something out of a storybook. That's the backdrop for our five o'clock ceremony, and we cannot wait to share it with you.

Dress Code

Guests are kindly asked to wear all black, head to toe. Together we'll make one stunning, elegant crowd set against the colors of the autumn mountains.

A Note Regarding Guests

Due to limited venue space, we are only able to accommodate the guests named on your invitation so there are no plus ones. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cannot wait to celebrate with you.

Getting There

Cell service can be spotty on mountain roads. We recommend downloading directions to 7482 South Mountain Institute Rd, Nebo, NC 28761 before you head out.

Following the Ceremony

The Reception

After we say our vows beneath the open mountain sky, we invite you to stay and celebrate the night with us. Dinner will be a warm and welcoming spread — hearty soups, fresh salads, and artisan sandwiches — the kind of food that feels like a hug at the end of a perfect autumn evening. Eat, drink, settle in — because once the plates are cleared, we are turning this thing into a party.

🎶   After Dinner — The Floor Opens

We said our vows. Now somebody turn up the music. Wear your dancing shoes. Come ready to stay late, dance hard, and make memories against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge at night. This is not a sit-down-and-watch kind of wedding — this is a party that happens to start with vows.

Blue Ridge Tattoo Company
Anna's studio — come see the bride at work

Our bride is Kat — and when she's not getting married, you'll find her behind the needle at Blue Ridge Tattoo Company in downtown Marion. Kat's work is precise, thoughtful, and tailored to exactly what you're envisioning — clients come from across the region just to sit with her.

The shop is owned and operated by Frank, a cornerstone of the Marion tattoo community whose years of dedication built Blue Ridge Tattoo Company into what it is today. His skill, his warmth, and his loyal following speak for themselves — and the place wouldn't exist without him.

Whether you sit with Kat or Frank, you're in exceptional hands. The shop is immaculately clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and yes — couples have even gotten their wedding bands tattooed here. Fitting, don't you think?
