Weddings & Honeymoons

Wedding Spots In The NC Mountains

Mountain towns and cities like Asheville, Hendersonville and Blowing Rock offer everything from upscale ski resorts to country cottages for both wedding sites and accommodations. Exchange your vows at the Biltmore Estate, America’s only “castle,” atop Chimney Rock with its 75-mile panoramic view, or at the base of 404-foot Hickory Nut Falls.

Asheville

Quaint, artsy, historic and surrounded by soaring peaks and lofty meadows with panoramic views; take your love to new heights with an Asheville wedding. Nestled among some of the highest mountains in North Carolina, and traversed by the Blue Ridge Parkway, the scenic beauty of Asheville is incomparable.

You’ll find wedding venues here are as varied as the mountains themselves. Exchange your vows on a mountain peak, in a valley cove filled with wildflowers or beside a waterfall splashing down from hundreds of feet above you or from a scenic location overlooking the city. Choose from one of the many picturesque spots in Asheville’s vibrant downtown historic district, a venue at the legendary Biltmore Estate, or the historic and luxurious Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa, at a lakeside gazebo or a garden oasis.

Gracious accommodations ranging from full service resorts to charming inns that cater to your every wish combine Southern hospitality, mountain charm and four-star service. Enjoy the many activities available, including spa treatments, cooking lessons from local chefs, downtown walking tours, golfing, whitewater rafting, a traditional English tea or a tour of local microbreweries.

Whatever your style, Asheville offers the unique touches that will create lifetime memories for you and your guests – any way you like it.
