Read on to start planning the perfect Western North Carolina wedding. You’ll learn what you need to get married in NC, where you can get married in the Western North Carolina mountains and more.
If you’d like an intimate wedding on a mountain, you’ve come to the right place. Some of the best Western North Carolina wedding venues are the mountains themselves. No frills, just you, your loved ones, and pure nature. It may be more work to get up to the summit to get married, but it is absolutely doable. And if you bring a photographer, you’ll have some truly incredible photos.
There are some things to consider with getting married in the mountains. But we’re here to give you some solutions:
There is a lot of travel involved with destination weddings and when you throw hiking up a mountain into the mix, it can be understandable that not everyone will be able to make it.
Here are some things to think about when choosing a Blue Ridge Mountain wedding venue:
If you picture saying “I do” in front of a glistening lake with mountains towering above you, consider Lake Glenville and Lake Toxaway. Landmark offers vacation rentals in each city for easy and convenient access to your wedding location. Our team of professional agents will work with you to help you choose the luxury mountain rental that works best for you and your wedding party. We have Western North Carolina vacation rentals that can accommodate a large group and more. We can’t wait to be part of your special day. There’s nothing as magical as getting married in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Not everyone is in the physical condition required to hike a long or short distance. If you choose a location that takes a five-mile hike to get there, for example, you and your wedding party will have to change into your wedding clothes once you reach the summit. Is that something you want to deal with? If not, consider a location with a fantastic view, but that only requires a short walk to get to.
If the small, rustic wedding isn’t your thing, there are plenty of Western North Carolina wedding venues to choose from near your vacation rental that can accommodate a large group:
A wedding’s venue sets the tone for the entire ceremony, and it may be one of the most important elements of a wedding, save for the ring, of course. A wedding at a country club in the mountains means a view of a lifetime paired with a carefully decorated space and a team who will help make sure guests are happy and the wedding goes off without a hitch.
A Western North Carolina wedding at a farm or a vineyard adds a magical element to your day and gives it a truly rustic feel. Whatever your goals are behind your Western North Carolina wedding venue, we’ll make it our mission to help you find the one that suits you and your special someone. You only get one wedding, and it has to be perfect.
“Highlands is the perfect location for a destination wedding,” said John Woods, chair of the board of directors for the Highlands Chamber of Commerce. “There is nowhere else to find more lush surroundings and beauty for everyone to experience. There are numerous wedding venues surrounding the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau ranging from very simple with gorgeous mountain views to ones where every luxury wish and want can be accommodated.”
We’ve narrowed it down to eight wedding venues in Western North Carolina that we think you’ll love. They are located in cities where we have vacation rentals or they are a short drive away.
