Do the Wedding Weekend Welcome Party at Lodge on Lake Lure at the Appalachia Restaurant !  This is one of my favorite additions to the wedding traditions that I have seen happening ALOT this past wedding season! Instead of just doing the Rehearsal Dinner, have a welcome party as your close friends and family are arriving into town.  Especially if you have almost everyone coming from all over and this is a destination wedding!  Make the trip worth their while….treat them to a night of dinner and custom cocktails and make this the wedding weekend to remember!  Kathy and Tim were up for anything.  We snuck away for a mini-couple’s session while their guests were mingling.  Don’t forget to ask us about adding this 2 hours of coverage to your wedding package too!
