Old Sherrill’s Inn Wedding – Asheville Wedding DJ Recap | DJ Tony De Maria
Date: June 28th, 2025
Location: Old Sherrill’s Inn, Fairview, NC
Iris and Chris’s wedding at Old Sherrill’s Inn was a celebration rooted in family, music, and intentional moments. Set at a historic homestead tucked into the mountains of Fairview, this day felt timeless—with emotional highs, heartfelt rituals, and a dancefloor that came alive under the open sky.
Ceremony in the Garden
Officiated by Sean, the ceremony took place in one of the Inn’s secret spaces, surrounded by tall trees and historic stonework. I provided full mic support to ensure every word landed clearly, and Iris & Chris curated a prelude playlist that reflected their unique style. From the first walk down the aisle to the celebratory kiss, it was meaningful, elegant, and deeply personal.
Cocktail Hour under the Tent
After the ceremony, guests gathered in the reception tent and surrounding space for cocktail hour. The couple selected a chill, indie playlist with rock flair, which kept things elevated but easygoing. People wandered through the fields, clinked glasses, and took their time soaking it all in.
Reception – Laid Back, Then Lit Up
When the reception kicked off in the open-air tent, the vibe shifted. The evening started with toasts, their first performace, and a warm and comforting dinner set. But once it was time to turn it up, Chris and Iris’s crew made it clear they came to dance. I mixed a blend of retro funk, disco, modern hits, and a few cultural nods to keep things connected and flowing. The tent felt alive—just the right kind of fun.
The Takeaway
As an Asheville Wedding DJ, playing a venue like Old Sherrill’s Inn is always an honor. It invites a slower pace, rich atmosphere, and real connection—and Iris & Chris leaned into all of that while still throwing an incredible party.
