The wedding scene at Deep Creek is hoppin', friends! And we should know! Jessica is a local wedding photographer and it's because of their bride-photographer relationship that Maureen and Jessica met in 2016.

Couples are coming here for their destination weddings because they don't need to get on a plane to do it and because we have everything they need to make a wedding happen. Not to mention the beautiful, natural backdrops we have ready and waiting for ceremonies, celebrations and adventures.

In this episode, we chat all about our local wedding scene - some history, the elopement trend and a long list of reasons why couples should marry here. We also talk about the impact the weddings have in our county's economy.

Jessica gets a chance to nerd out and Maureen gets a chance to recap her own Deep Creek wedding planning experience. And if you're planning a wedding, we hope you'll #comegetmarriedhere.

A special thanks to one of Jessica's past brides Caitlin for sending in a voice memo and sharing about her Deep Creek wedding. And another thanks to Laura of Lake Salon for also sharing some personal thoughts on our local wedding scene.
