We’re thrilled to celebrate our wedding weekend with you in the beautiful mountains of Sparta, NC! Below, you’ll find information on travel, lodging, and important directions to the venue.

Getting To Sparta, NC

By Air: For those flying in, the closest major airports are Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) (approximately a 2-hour drive from Sparta) and Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) in Greensboro (about 1.5 hours away).

By Car: Sparta is accessible by car from several major cities, including Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. Since many family members will be arriving from out of state, we suggest coordinating car rentals or arranging carpools to make travel easier.
