About
us
Esten and Ashley met at a country music festival. They had a blast singing along to their favorite songs in the 2016 summer heat. Shortly after, Ashley needed a date to her sorority formal. Esten accepted Ashley‘s invitation. They again danced the night away singing along to their favorite tunes. The couple hit it off and it was happily ever after.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
It’s New Year Eve! Use the holiday as a reason to ring in the New Year in festive attire. Ladies, a fun sparkly cocktail dress, a velvet blouse, a beaded top, or a satin jumpsuit would be perfect for the occasion. Men, a classic tie, a button down, or a sport coat will have you looking dapper for the evening. Since it is winter, don a jacket. The venue has a coat room for you to hang your jacket while attending the event.
