Krista & Jason’s Wedding at Staurolite Farm – A Community-Fueled Celebration in Brasstown, NC

Krista and Jason’s wedding at Staurolite Farms wasn’t just a wedding—it was a whole weekend of celebration, memory-making, and deep roots coming full circle. This special farm sits tucked in the artist enclave of Brasstown, North Carolina, a place where Jason grew up exploring the woods, swimming in his childhood pond, and soaking in the kind of community that stays with you for life.

The farm itself is part of that community—woven into the fabric of Jason’s family and their history. The wedding weekend felt like one of those coveted campouts you remember forever: the kind with late-night laughter, the smell of smoke in your hair, and a fire crackling beneath a canopy of stars.

And the party didn’t wait for the wedding day to get started. Things kicked off with a high-energy Friday night at the Tri-County Racetrack on Old 64. Friends and family cheered from the stands, watching dirt-track cars roar by, revving up excitement for the weekend ahead.

Saturday brought the main event—and it was everything. The ceremony was heartfelt and simple, grounded in the land that shaped Jason’s childhood. But once the sun dipped behind the hills and the moon lights flickered on, the barn transformed into something out of a dream. Think speakeasy meets pop-up celebration: a band that radiated pure electric energy, and a dance floor that stayed packed from start to finish.

And the food—oh, the food. It didn’t feel like catering. It felt like Jason’s best friend brought his prized smoker and spent all day making magic. Smoked brisket and pork sliced fresh and steaming, grilled veggies, and farm-fresh Southern sides that hit that perfect comfort-meets-gourmet note. Every guest had a full plate and a bigger smile.

There was something about this wedding—maybe the history, maybe the people, maybe just the spark in the air—but it felt like everyone there had known each other forever. And no one wanted it to end.
