Hendersonville, NC
Whether your dream day involves a rustic wedding barn, pavilion with wraparound views, a church sanctuary or a lakeside lawn, Hendersonville has a venue to accommodate your wedding ceremony and reception. Couples planning a wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains are invited to explore Hendersonville’s offerings at the Say I Do to Hendersonville Bridal Show on Saturday, Nov. 6.
Approximately 50 vendors will be on hand at Blue Ridge Community College to showcase examples of their work, talk with brides and grooms, and answer questions.
“Just about everything you could possibly need we have in our county,” says Amy Boswell with Henderson County Tourism. “Caterers, venues, accommodations, wedding cakes — for all of that good stuff, we have someone in Hendersonville who can take care of it.”
As destination weddings have evolved into multiday events, Hendersonville has become an increasingly popular choice because of its variety of lodging options and activities. The area’s many outdoor adventures, charming Main Street and vibrant arts scene make getting away for a wedding weekend appealing for couples, as well as their friends and family. While being in Hendersonville feels like an escape, the mountain town is one of the most accessible WNC destinations, located only two hours west of Charlotte and within 20 minutes of Asheville Regional Airport.
Henderson County Tourism offers free wedding consultations for those who are unfamiliar with the area. The visitor services coordinator will be at the show to share ideas and contacts.
“If you’re looking for a simple elopement, you can do that here, or if you want a big wedding with 250-plus guests, we’ve got something for that, too,” Boswell says.
One lucky couple will win a gift basket full of Henderson County goodies.
The Say I Do to Hendersonville Bridal Show runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Blue Ridge Community College’s conference hall. The event will adhere to any statewide safety protocols in place at the time to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Admission is $5 per person. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance.
