We Can't Wait To Celebrate With You!
Get ready to breathe in some fresh mountain air and join us for a weekend of celebration in the stunning Western North Carolina mountains! Our wedding festivities will take place at Chimney Pond in Glenville, NC. We've chosen this beautiful, serene spot so we can truly share our love for nature and each other with all of you. While it's a bit of a drive into the heart of the mountains, we promise the journey is just as beautiful as the destination. We highly recommend making a mini-vacation out of it and arriving on Thursday morning to settle in, explore the charming local towns, and enjoy all the beauty this area has to offer before the big day!
