If you’re looking for romantic and more intimate North Carolina wedding venues, consider our upscale hotel in the western North Carolina mountains. Our Inn offers couples a refreshing alternative to the traditional large-scale wedding, letting them focus on what truly matters—each other. Smaller micro weddings and intimate elopements have grown in popularity in recent years, and it’s at least in part because smaller weddings provide a chance for personalization.

With fewer logistics and guests, these ceremonies often feel more like a heartfelt celebration. Not only that, but they are much easier on your budget, leaving you more room for beautiful touches that enhance the experience and make it more memorable.
