Blacksburg Country Club provided the perfect backdrop for Mays and Rachel’s timeless and elegant wedding. Their celebration began with a more private ceremony attended by family and just a few friends overlooking the mountains. Following the ceremony and cocktails shared on the balcony, was an intimate candlelit dinner, where long banquet tables encouraged heartfelt conversation under the glow of flickering candlelight.

The heartfelt toasts from parents and stepparents added an emotional touch, making the evening even more special. As the night progressed, the celebration transformed into an unforgettable party on the patio, complete with roaring fire pits, an abundance of custom drinks, and gourmet food, including wood-fired pizzas and an indulgent dessert spread. With the cool mountain air and a dance floor that stayed packed all night, Mays and Rachel’s wedding was the perfect blend of sophistication, romance, and high-energy celebration—an iconic Virginia wedding at its finest.
