Perfect venue
Nantahala weddings made our elopement visions come true plus SO much more! The pictures capture the beauty that surrounds the area, but being there in person is truly indescribable. I will never get over how perfect our day was. Meeting Jess was my favorite part of it all, as she is just as kind and loving as she is organized and thorough in her work. I highly recommend booking your wedding through Nantahala Weddings!
Bride
Our wedding at Nantahala Weddings was an absolute dream! The venue itself is paradise, with outstanding infrastructure and beautiful mountain views. The staff were available throughout the entire event to ensure everything ran smoothly and even helped arrange transportation up the hillside for us and a guest that needed. Communication leading up to our big day was easy and efficient - they responded quickly and were very understanding of our needs. On the wedding day, they went above and beyond to make sure our vision came to life perfectly. It was clear the competent and caring team truly wants each couple to have the wedding they've always dreamed of. We cannot recommend Nantahala Weddings highly enough for their paradise venue, smooth coordination, and exceptional service! Plus the venue has no time restrictions which is unheard of in the USA.
The most beautiful venue!
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Nantahala Weddings and were so happy we chose them as our venue. Jody and Jess, the venue owners, provided excellent communication throughout the planning process - they responded quickly to all of our questions and requests for information. The mountain backdrop could not have been more perfect for our wedding vision. The outdoor ceremony space was intimate yet spacious, with beautiful landscaping and mountain views that made for incredible photos. For the value, we felt Nantahala Weddings was very reasonably priced compared to other venues we toured, we got the full weekend with no set end time! We highly recommend them for any couple looking for a stunning mountain venue with responsive, friendly owners.
Unique & Stunning
The Nantahala Weddings team is truly spectacular. They are a dream to work with and generally just wonderful humans. The venue itself cannot be beat - It can accommodate larger weddings and small gatherings beautifully without losing its cozy and romantic feeling. Such a special venue in a truly magical area!
