Date: July 1st, 2023
Location: Emerald Ridge, Weaverville, NC

John and Megan’s wedding at Emerald Ridge captured everything that makes summer weddings in the North Carolina mountains so special. Sweeping views, golden light, and a celebration that moved effortlessly from heartfelt to high-energy—this one had it all.

Ceremony Overlooking the Blue Ridge
Officiated by Justin Kryak, the ceremony took place on the outdoor platform with nothing but open skies and endless mountains behind them. I provided full mic support and a curated prelude mix that blended cinematic instrumentals and soft acoustic tracks. As Megan walked down the aisle, the energy shifted—calm, intentional, and filled with love.

Cocktail Hour on the Lawn
Guests moved down to the open lawn and pavilion area for cocktail hour, where the breeze rolled off the mountains and the first drinks started flowing. I kept the playlist easygoing and summery—mixing laid-back soul, indie classics, and acoustic pop favorites that matched the relaxed, joyful energy of the setting.

Reception – Under the Stars, On the Floor
As the sun set, the reception came to life under the pavilion and open sky. John and Megan’s crowd showed up ready to celebrate, and I crafted a set that moved seamlessly between dancefloor classics, pop favorites, and a few unexpected tracks that made the night feel uniquely theirs. Every beat landed, every transition lifted the room, and the mountains echoed every cheer and laugh.

The Takeaway
As an Asheville Wedding DJ, Emerald Ridge is one of those venues that never gets old—and John and Megan’s celebration reminded me why. Epic views, genuine moments, and a dancefloor that stayed full from start to finish.
