Planning a wedding on a private property or private home is no easy feat.  It can be wonderful because often the place will have special meaning to you – but there are definitely a lot more logistics and things to consider when you do this.  The best advice we can give is to have a good wedding team on your side.  Enlist professionals in all areas who can really take care of all the small details, or any snafus that come up along the way.  After all – it’s your day to be married!!  Not to be worried about how the chairs are set up, how the ice is going to stay frozen, or who is going to flip the tent {see below!}  To name just a couple, you have to have a great rental company and if you are transporting your guests, a great transportation company.  We recommend Classic Event Rental and Blue Ridge Limo …they are fantastic!  Both of these Asheville wedding vendors were on board for this wedding!

Heather and Ramon entrusted us with their day on a beautiful sunny day last summer at the bride’s parents home in Whittier, NC.  Spectacular views, and a spectacular space.  Many thanks to Corey McNabb for the great images from the day ; New Mountain Events from Franklin took care of all the floral ; Celine and Co. for the catering ; Tiffany’s Baking Co. for the fun and yummy cake ; and Amanda, Asheville hair artist at The Secret Spa!

Below you can see how we flipped the tent from ceremony to reception.  Guests were up towards the house for cocktail hour, as we had 4 staff flip this tent for 200 people in 45 minutes.

brittany from our team took care of the rehearsal, as i was away.  i LOVE the picture of ashley seeing me on the wedding day, and her sweet hug that followed.  this family, on the day of the wedding, the first thing they asked me was how was i doing.  not anything about the wedding, but how i personally was doing.  on one of the biggest days in their lives.  i am beyond thankful to work with clients that are just so genuine.  so to the owens and gamble families, i thank you from the bottom of my heart.  you have no idea how much your caring meant to me.  xoxo ~ nicole
