Three nights of revelry to celebrate the love and union of the betrothed.
The First Evening of Celebrations:
A Party of Special Magnificence
The Welcome Party
The first night marks the commencement of official party business. As those invited reach the destination of their journey, we welcome all with a night of revelry in special thanks for making the voyage. This reunion of friends, family and loved ones features ample spirits and a lavish buffet of nourishment. Highlighting local fare to replenish all travelers, acquaintances will be made and old friendships reconstituted in an evening of music, dancing and merriment.
The gathering will be held at Lioncrest on Biltmore Estate. Transportation will be provided, both to and from, departing from The Hampton Inn Biltmore Village, Village Hotel, and The Inn on Biltmore Estate. Guests are encouraged to dress in casual party attire. The event will take place Thursday, April 16th, 2026 at six o’clock in the evening. Following the event, those attending are free to retire and recuperate at the lodgings of their choosing in preparation for the continuation of this most magnificent affair.
Second Evening of Revelries
Spirits With Inn
Post Rehearsal Cocktails
Hello there my darlings. As we prepare for the pinnacle event on the morrow, our next phase of this sacred ritual proceeds with anticipatory cocktails and delicate hors d’oeuvres on the terrace at The Inn on Biltmore Estate. Following the Rehearsal Dinner, all guests are invited to convene with the couple for well wishes and celebrations on their last night of singularity.
This event will take place Friday, April 17th, 2026 at eight o’clock in the evening, calling for formal cocktail attire. On a night of recollection and appreciation for all that brought the betrothed together, we will raise our glasses as one and toast “To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered.”
The Pinnacle Event:
The Wedding
The Place Between Sleep & Awake
Past the double staircase of the Rampe Douce, the rite of eternal union between Madison Hartline & Kevin Pardue shall take place before the Statue of Diana, atop the Vista overlooking the Biltmore Esplanade. The Ceremony will be held on Saturday, April 18th, 2026, beginning at six o’clock in the evening. Transportation will be provided, both to and from, departing from The Hampton Inn Biltmore Village, Village Inn, and The Inn on Biltmore Estate.

As the sun sets below the horizon and the fairies wink to life amongst the hemlocks, all in attendance; both in this world and the next, shall bear witness before God and man as Kevin Eugene Pardue, Son of Keith and Jeanine Pardue, will take Victoria Madison Hartline, Daughter of Alan and Candice Hartline, as his lawful and eternally bound wife in both body and soul.
