Nataleigh & Josh’s Wedding at The Ridge – Asheville Wedding DJ Recap

Date: October 23rd, 2023
Location: The Ridge, Marshall, NC

Fall weddings in the Blue Ridge Mountains hit differently—and Nataleigh and Josh’s celebration at The Ridge was pure autumn magic. With sweeping views, golden-hour light, and a dancefloor that went all night, this day was the definition of unforgettable.

Ceremony on the Ridge
Larry officiated a heartfelt ceremony at the Ridge’s iconic overlook, with panoramic views of the Smokies setting the stage. I provided full mic support and a prelude mix of soft indie and cinematic instrumentals to complement the moment. As Nataleigh walked down the aisle, the mountain breeze carried every word and emotion perfectly across the space.

Cocktail Hour with a Sunset
Guests transitioned to the outdoor patio for cocktail hour, just as the sun began to dip behind the ridges. I curated a warm and soulful playlist—think acoustic favorites, nostalgic throwbacks, and a few hidden gems Nataleigh and Josh had hand-picked. The atmosphere was pure magic as the sky turned pink and gold.

Reception – Energy at Elevation
Inside the reception pavilion, the energy jumped another level. Nataleigh and Josh’s guests came ready, and I built a custom live mix that moved seamlessly from crowd favorites to deeper grooves to late-night anthems. Every transition kept the floor packed, and the mountain air kept the energy fresh.

The Takeaway
As an Asheville Wedding DJ, weddings at The Ridge always deliver something memorable—but Nataleigh and Josh’s wedding took it to another level. Big heart, big energy, and the kind of mountain setting you can’t fake.
