I often feature elopements in national parks and forests but this time I’ll be focusing on an option for couples who want that mountain vibe without a hike and with a slightly larger guest list. When it comes to weddings, bigger isn’t always better. Intimate weddings are rocking the scene, and Claxton Farm in Asheville, NC is at the forefront of this trend. Imagine basking in your love story surrounded only by your closest loved ones, all against the stunning backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. No hike required to reach these views, you can drive right up into the mountains to say your vows nestled in the valley. These intimate weddings are about crafting moments with your nearest and dearest and adding a hint of the wild into the mix for the best of both worlds.
Rustic Magic
Hold onto your hats because Claxton Farm is about to sweep you off your feet. Nestled amidst the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s like stepping into a hidden treasure trove. Imagine rolling hills and expansive meadows. It’s the kind of setting that radiates rustic charm in its own unique way.
Florals and Decor
Let’s talk about the little things that make your heart flutter. At Claxton Farm, it’s all about making every detail your own. Want to decorate? Bring your vision to life with plenty of room for florals and arrangements both outside and in. There are no park rules here and your options for things like arches and other decorations will be a lot more lenient. You’re in charge of creating an ambiance that’s as unique as your love story.
A Cozy & Intimate Wedding Experience
Listen up, lovebirds! Saying your vows at Claxton Farm is all about the connections. With a smaller guest list, your day isn’t just about saying “I do”; it’s about sharing laughter, swapping stories, and making unforgettable memories with your nearest and dearest. It’s a chance to create cherished moments that’ll have you reminiscing for years. Plus, the natural backdrop is a picture-perfect bonus! If you have a larger guest list than a traditional elopement but still want to be in the mountains, this might be the perfect spot.
A Picture with a Claxton Farm Llama
Hold your horses – or in this case, llamas! One unforgettable touch of a Claxton Farm wedding is the chance to snap a pic with a farm llama. These furry friends add an extra dose of charm to your wedding album, making for photos that are as quirky as they are heartwarming. It’s not every day you get to share the spotlight with these adorable creatures! This one was even trained to pose when you say “selfie”, now how cute is that?!
