A Walk Through AN

Asante WEDDING WEEKEND

Asante Lodging & Events | September Blog

From the moment guests arrive at Asante Lodging & Events, they’re surrounded by beauty, nature, and intentional design that sets the tone for unforgettable gatherings.

This month, we’re inviting you to take a visual walk through our property—a behind-the-scenes look at the spaces, settings, and signature moments that make Asante so special.

Arrival & First Impressions

The experience begins at the entrance—where a peaceful rustic backdrop welcomes guests into a space that feels both refined and relaxed.

Tucked behind a private gate, each group at Asante Lodging receives their own unique gate code, allowing them to come and go at their convenience. This added touch ensures that your stay is not only secure but also completely private, creating the perfect setting for a weekend of celebration with the people who matter most.

Lodging that Feels Like Home

Our on-site lodging comfortably sleeps up to 34 guests, offering a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern style. From the elegant bridal suite to cozy guest rooms and even a plush couch for an afternoon nap every space is thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of your group.

What truly sets Asante lodging apart is the instant sense of peace and relaxation that greets you the moment you arrive. Here, everyday stress melts away. Spend your days lounging by the pool, sipping drinks on the patio, or losing yourself in a good book on the tree swing. So please, feel free to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply enjoy the moment.

Ceremony with a View

Our outdoor ceremony location, known as The Moja, takes its name from the Swahili word meaning “to unite from two to one.” Rising 13 feet tall and draped in cascading wisteria, this stunning structure creates a romantic and unforgettable backdrop for your vows. As you stand beneath its blooms, surrounded by loved ones seated just steps away, it becomes the perfect setting to say “I do.”

The Moja isn’t just beautiful—it’s part of our all-inclusive wedding weekend package, designed to make your celebration seamless. From rentals, staff support, and professional lighting to on-site lodging and bar service, every detail is thoughtfully handled so you can focus on the joy of the moment.

Reception Spaces Full of Personality

Open-air receptions under twinkling lights to elegant tented dinners, every celebration at Asante carries its own unique energy and charm. We adore seeing how each couple makes the space their own.

Our handcrafted 8-foot farmhouse tables bring a warm, rustic touch to the reception, offering the perfect canvas for each couple’s personal style. Whether dressed in greenery, candles, or vibrant blooms, they set the stage for a celebration that reflects your vision.

As the evening unfolds and the dance floor comes alive, the air fills with a mix of timeless classics and fresh, modern beats. Yet our favorite tradition remains the first dance. Watching the newlyweds take that first spin, wrapped in each other’s arms, as their loved ones look on with smiles, happy tears, and open hearts.

Golden Hour & Nightfall Magic

There’s a certain kind of magic that happens at Asante when the sun begins to set. The golden light spills across the property, casting a warm glow that’s perfect for romantic couple portraits. Daylight fades, the atmosphere transforms-fire pits flicker to life, twinkle lights dance overhead, and softly lit pathways guide guests through the evening.

By now, the celebration is in full swing—the band is playing, guests are dancing, and slices of cake are making their way around the room. We especially love when couples surprise their guests with something extra special, whether it’s an ice cream truck pulling up, a sparkling send-off under the stars, or a late-night hot dog stand to keep the energy high.
