Spring is a beautiful time of year to wed in the breathtaking outdoors of North Carolina. Problem is, choosing the perfect spot. From the scenic, storied hills of the mountains to the soft sand of the beach, couples are sure to be able to find the ideal wedding setting.

Below are a few suggestions:

Mountains
Beautiful and quaint Inns adorn the rolling hills of the North Carolina Mountains. In addition, outdoor romantic opportunities are everywhere from hiking among trickling streams to spending the afternoon on a leisurely picnic for two.

Westglow Resort & Spa in Blowing Rock is a spectacular venue featuring the grandeur of a historic Grecian mansion surrounded by the magnificent beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Guests dine on delicious cuisine, and the splendidly manicured grounds of the 20-acre estate provide the perfect backdrop to the most important day of your life.

Secluded behind tall hemlock hedges and century old trees, the Mélange Bed & Breakfast in Hendersonville is a refreshingly unique experience of old grandeur. Under the charm of the historic home with its splendid gardens and splashing fountains, couples can experience a fairy-tale setting.

Piedmont
Stately mansions are sprinkled through the Piedmont – each with its own style and personality. They provide an elegance that can be shared with a large or more intimate ceremony.

Framed by beautiful oaks, Magnolia Manor in Colfax greets you with stately columns and manicured gardens. A beautiful setting for celebration, Magnolia Manor features a koi pond alongside the winding garden path.

Coast
North Carolina’s coast and 300 miles of barrier island beaches have everything you need for the perfect beach wedding. From seaside resorts to historic inns, and even historic boat rides, your ideal setting is waiting for you.

For a completely unique experience, Bald Head Island offers an unforgettable wedding option. Guests are transported to the island by ferry or private yacht to an island where there are no cars, only golf carts. The resort can arrange catering, accommodations, and a beautiful view.
