Where do I even begin?! From the moment we arrived at Nantahala lake we fell in love all over again. This hidden NC gem is one of the most serene, magical places I have ever been. Nantahala Weddings and Events made all my wedding dreams come true and it was absolutely perfect. If I could give them 10 stars I would. My wedding here was everything I dreamed of and more. I absolutely loved all the options to customize and choose your own vendors. I became very frustrated early on in my wedding planning process because I didn't want to have my vendors chosen for me by my venue. While Jody, the venue owner, has a list of trusted vendors (that are wonderful btw), you don't have to use them. Being based in Atlanta, we used a mixture of local vendors, Atlanta vendors, and Asheville Vendors. The venue spaces are sensational, and the views are the best in the area! Jody is absolutely amazing and such a joy to work with through the entire planning process. Not only is she professional and prompt, but you can tell she loves what she does and she loves the couples who choose Nantahala. She was able to help me so much through the planning process with recommendations and tips. The venue is in the woods in the mountains overlooking Nantahala Lake. It can be used for a wide variety of wedding styles from casual to formal (my theme was elegant bohemian!)- which I think makes it attractive for so many different brides and grooms looking for an outdoor venue. It is also completely dog friendly!! There are so many options to make it exactly what you want. Bonus, there is no end time, set schedule, or noise restrictions! The package I chose meant I had the venue Thursday - Monday so I was able to host a wide variety of wedding events (Rehearsal, Ceremony, Reception, After party bonfire, Sunday Brunch) all at my own leisure. It truly is an all in one venue at one great price! The venue has lodging options right on the site which is amazing. I was barely in the car the whole weekend! There are also several cabins within walking distance of the venue. Overall, I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else. It truly was the best day of my life. This place is magic and I would recommend it a 100 times over!

Coley Hall at The Liberty

5.0

Elkin, NC
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Coley Hall at The Liberty began as a run-down century old Tobacco Warehouse. After being purchased by Elkin native Cicely McCulloch, the space was transformed into a beautiful wedding venue. However, one cannot help but notice the space’s rich history. With an industrial feel, century-old exposed beams overhead, weathered wood, and distressed brick, it’s the definition of rustic elegance and can be tailor-made to fit any style. Keep things simple by utilizing the existing beauty of the space, or dress it up with elegant sheer fabrics draped overhead. Even if you are not DIY savvy, our staff is here to provide inspiration to ensure your vision comes to life!

My husband and I were faced with planning a wedding during COVID-19. How lucky we were to have chosen Coley Hall as our venue. Suzanne and Cicely were both so helpful throughout the whole process. We talked often as regulations changed and they were always flexible, accommodating, and understanding. They made sure that we had the most special wedding day regardless of a global pandemic. The food was awesome, service pristine, and facilities beautiful! We feel so lucky to have gotten married at Coley Hall and were proud to show off our wedding venue to friends & family!

Welcome to Serenity Ridge, where love finds its home amidst the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains. Our Wedding & Events Venue, set for up to 125 guests, offers a place where your love story unfolds naturally. Imagine exchanging vows in our lush gardens, with your nearest and dearest witnessing your promises. After, savor the moment with cocktails and sunset mountain views. As night falls, step into our Event Pavilion, aglow with a chandelier, ready to host your unique love story. Love is also in the details. Our Chef crafts a tailored menu, making each bite a memory. Stay the weekend with us in our on-site accommodations for up to 36 guests, from charming cabins to Yurt to our Hilltop House. Our property invites you to explore love in every corner. Unwind in private hot tubs, gather around the Fire Pavilion, or find quiet moments under pergolas. At Serenity Ridge, we're here to create a genuine and heartfelt setting for your love story, a place where your love shines brightest.

Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding than our wedding at Serenity Ridge. They are more inclusive than any other venue we looked at, our rental order was minimal because of everything they have to offer. The property is beautiful with not only onsite accommodations, but plenty of local accommodations for those out of town. One of my favorite parts was the ability to have so many of our friends and family stay together for the weekend. It makes such a difference in a day that already goes by so fast! The weather was perfect for our wedding but I’m still confident rain or shine, all seasons, Serenity Ridge is the perfect wedding space. The view of the mountains during the day and the stars at the end of the night is unreal. The communication was great, they are very professional and straightforward. You can tell they have years of experience in the wedding business. Their website is SUPER informative and they even have a virtual tour of the entire property! I felt so at ease working with their staff for everything to come together and they exceeded our expectations for our wedding weekend! Everyone loved the American Buffet and my husband still can’t stop talking about the crostini appetizers. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed, there was a gift waiting for us in the Yurt the night of our wedding and s'more's kits in every cabin for the fire pit. All of our guests were so impressed with this hidden gem in Mill Spring, you just don’t find places like this so close to home. Thank you Haley and Serenity Ridge staff for helping us have a the best day, we are forever grateful!

This is hands down the best venue in the blue ridge mountains (coming from an Ashe County local couple)!! This venue is so stunning and needs minimal decoration to make it feel elegant and classy but still have a relaxed atmosphere. Paula is filled with so much wedding knowledge and provides a list of recommended vendors, which would be great for those who are not local. Paula is quick to respond to texts and calls and always eased my mind. The bridal suite, groomsman room, and honeymoon suite were so convenient to have right on site. The cabin on the farm was clean, spacious, and has everything your family/friends need. Mark, Paula’s husband, works so hard during the week prior to the wedding to maintain the landscaping and beautiful dahlia garden. I would also highly recommend using Caroline Orcutt as your wedding coordinator (add on service). She is beyond organized and makes sure everything runs smoothly the day of your wedding. She is quick to response to emails, texts, and calls. She also gave us tons of suggestions that would fit in our budget. We could not recommend this venue more and thank the Domske’s and Caroline for all they did for us to make our day so special!!

As a wedding photographer, I loved my experience working at this venue! The owners were just so sweet and very accommodating for whatever I needed. They wanted to work as a team and serve the Bride & Groom well. They didn't settle for anything less than the best. The property and venue are beautiful! The views of the Smoky Mountains are just breathtaking and perfect for an outdoor wedding.

Your Home Away From Home

5.0

Sevierville, TN
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $200

Our wedding venue at The Vieux is very versatile. You can choose to get married in front of the mountains up by the gazebo and outside chapel, on the balcony of The Vieux in front of Mt. Le Conte (if it's a small wedding party), in the back yard of The Vieux surrounded by the trees or inside in front of the floor to ceiling stone fireplace. Wherever you choose, your wedding will be unique and just as you choose it to be. We don't charge an exorbitant amount for our venue because we want you to be able to afford to stay at The Vieux and have your wedding all rolled into one at a great price. Some choose to do everything DIY while others choose to have a wedding coordinator, catered food and decorators come to prepare everything for them. Whatever you choose is up to you so it can be your perfect day on The Mustard Seed property at Your Home Away From Home in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. All of your guests can stay too in our 7 other cabins on the same 12 acres/mountain top.

I had the best experience! I rented out the Vieux for myself and my wedding party and all of the small cabins surrounding it for my family. My wedding was on the top of the mountain and my reception was at the large cabin. It was perfect. All of my family and friends could walk around freely and never had to leave. The cabins were clean and had everything we needed. The views were amazing!! I couldn’t recommend these rentals enough. I catered food from town and they had no issue finding the place and delivering it. We were close to stores but still had the mountain feel. I met with Kathryn in person and she was thrilled to help us. She immediately blocked the days out and got the ball rolling. Truly an amazing experience.

Along with an absolutely dream venue, 4 Points provides each bride with the necessities we sometimes forget to add to the to do list like indoor and outdoor chairs, tables in all shapes and sizes, lighting that changes with each weddings needs, and small signs that help give that finishing touch. Heather was incredible to work with and from start to finish made sure that our big day was exactly what we had dreamed of. I’m so glad that we chose 4 Points Farm.

There’s no question this venue is incredibly beautiful but what comes with it really sealed the deal. The team leading up to the event were kind, efficient, and communicative. The space was beautifully clean and ready for us and the accommodations on the property were top notch. It made the whole day really special to have the whole family wake up and get prepared together. It really is worth every penny and is one of the most special places in the mountains. It rained on our wedding day and they did the most to wipe down chairs right before the ceremony and keep things moving. Absolutely 10/10!
