of the town. We then decided that Asheville was the placefor our magical day! It had so much to offer our out-of-town

guests and was just the perfect setting for us to say I Do!

Deciding on Asheville as our wedding location was by far

the easiest decision we made during the wedding planning

process. Thank you to all the Asheville venues because we

had fabulous service from everyone!

The Asheville CVB was wonderful in helping me

find outstanding accommodations for our guests. They

contacted us quickly after we made inquiries and were

always fast getting back to us. The room blocking system

they employ gave us multiple lodging options at multiple

price points. Since we are not from the area, and we were

restricted by a tight budget, this was particularly helpful.

The Travel Guides provided by the CVB went beyond the

obvious tourist choices for Asheville. We love Asheville and

really wanted to help our guests have an extraordinary

experience. The CVB certainly helped make that happen.
