We specialize in unforgettable celebrations that capitalize on Nantahala’s natural beauty and your unique style, leaving you and your guests with memories you’ll treasure forever.

Nantahala Weddings & Events is a rustic, yet elegant outdoor event venue on Nantahala Lake.

No mandatory end time! No noise restrictions! Choose any vendors!

Location
We are a destination wedding location with a focus on nature. The lake, mountains, river, and waterfalls provide a wide variety of activities for your guests – boating, swimming, whitewater rafting, hiking, and fishing – as well as spectacular wedding photo opportunities.

The Venue
Our venue has the serenity of a private park, so little decorating is needed to make it sparkle. We focus on simplicity by providing everything you need in one low price with the exception of lodging, flowers, food, and beverages. Hire our day of wedding coordinator to orchestrate your perfect wedding.

The Ceremony
Take your vows in our outdoor ceremony chapel on the venue grounds, just a few hundred feet from Lake Nantahala, or on Wayah Bald on the Appalachian Trail at over 5,300 feet elevation (just 11 miles from the venue).

Season
Our venue is at 3,000 feet, where temperatures are 10-15 degrees lower than temps in the surrounding area: high 60s to low 70s in late April and May, mid to high 70s in June, low 80s in July and August, and back into the 70s in September and October. That means perfect temps for summer weddings. It also means early April and November can bring chilly weather, which is why our season runs from late April thru end of October.

2018 pricing - $1,500 - $3,000 (depending on number of guests)

Rent additional adjacent days for just $500
We only book one wedding per weekend, so you can have the ultimate, stress-free wedding. For $500, you can book the day before your wedding for a rehearsal dinner or an arrival party for guests - or just to decorate early so you don’t have to worry about it the day of your wedding. If you book the day before your wedding, you are free to come the day after your wedding to pick up decorations by 11 AM at no extra charge. You can also rent the venue for the day after your wedding to host a farewell brunch.
