What makes Mary Kelley with Fleetwood’s Rock and Roll Wedding Chapel a good neighbor?

Ever wondered what happens when wedding bells meet rock and roll? Mary Kelley, co-owner of Fleetwoods Rock and Roll Wedding Chapel, takes us behind the velvet curtains of Asheville's most unconventional venue where wedding dreams, vintage shopping, craft cocktails, and live music coexist in perfect harmony.

Mary reveals how she and her business partners transformed their combined passions for architectural salvage, vintage treasures, and music connections into a thriving business that has hosted nearly 400 weddings since opening in 2017. What makes this venue truly special isn't just the gold velvet curtains and disco ball that adorn the stage where couples exchange vows—it's the genuine community they've fostered. From bar patrons spontaneously serving as wedding witnesses during elopements to their whimsical "Married for the Weekend" package complete with "fake as hell" certificates, Fleetwoods creates experiences that defy convention.

The chapel's ability to outshine established venues like the Biltmore Estate (winning "Best Place to Get Married in Asheville" three consecutive years) speaks to how they've tapped into couples' desires for authentic, affordable celebrations. But weddings are just one aspect of this cultural hub. The venue hosts touring bands Thursday through Sunday across rock, punk, rockabilly, and metal genres—all with remarkably accessible ticket prices rarely exceeding $12. Their Sunday "Junk-O-Rama" vintage market transforms their parking lot into a treasure hunter's paradise, while their resilience following Asheville's devastating hurricane demonstrates their deep commitment to maintaining community morale even through hardship. Whether you're planning an unforgettable wedding, searching for your new favorite band, or simply wanting to experience what Mary calls "the coolest place in Asheville to have a drink and soak up some local culture," Fleetwood's offers a quintessentially Asheville experience unlike anything else.
