You don’t hear of many people escaping from Florida to the mountains during the winter but Ashely and Clay and 308 of their friends and family travelled from Jacksonville and Pensacola to the beautiful Biltmore Estate to put on a wedding in excellent style!
The wedding party and all the guests had a chance to enjoy the estate’s amenities during the weekend and the weather proved to be lenient for this time of year. Michael and I prayed the morning of the wedding for the forecast of rain to hold off till after the ceremony and our prayers were answered!
The official ceremony took place on the front lawn. We then were asked to photograph all 308 guest in front of the house. This was our biggest group photo to date! After the photo the doors of the house were opened and all of the guest were treated to a private tour.
The ceremony was very impressive but, if I may share my opinion, not quiet as impressive as the reception. The real party started over at the south terrace under a tent that appeared more like a 5 star hotel’s ballroom. Shay Brown Events really knows how to impress! Plenty of delectable treats were served along with an all night performance by a 17 member band. One of the best moments of the evening was when Ashely’s parents surprised Ashely and Clay with an incredible firework’s show. You probably heard them if you were in Asheville on that evening!
Ashely and Clay were a delight to be with on their special day. They are so sweet, easy going, and super fun to be around. We are looking forward to their “Rock the Frock” in March when they will be back in the Mountains and at Biltmore.
