~~Real Talk from an Asheville Wedding Planner 

Remember that rom-com wedding magic that you giggled about as a kid? Well, the right venue (and the right planner!) can recreate that magic on your wedding day. I’ve been working in Asheville as a wedding planner for years and I can say with confidence that Western North Carolina has a perfect wedding venue for you, as the ultimate weekend wedding getaway. 

The Perfect Backdrop

It goes without saying that mountains make a classy backdrop for any luxury wedding, and the Appalachian Mountains, one of the most well-known ranges, just so happen to be in Western North Carolina. The biodiverse Blue Ridge Mountains section is a favorite for both mountain elopements and lavish weddings (I’ve helped plan a few there myself actually!). Not interested in mountains? No worries, there are plenty of breathtaking locations within the cities as well. Either way, plan for beautiful scenery and unforgettable atmospheres!

Variety of Gorgeous Venue Types

Throughout Western North Carolina’s beautiful landscapes, you can find a variety of gorgeous venues including The Grand Bohemian Charlotte! No matter your theme—industrial, classy, nature-inspired, tropical (yes! Even tropical)—you’re bound to find the right venue for your dream wedding, especially with help from a local wedding planner, I promise. 

Entertain Guests with Adventure Around Every Corner

Luxury isn’t about the amount of money you spend, it’s about how you spend it, and your guests’ experience is a significant part of that. Let’s be real, it’s important to you that grandma is entertained and has a memorable experience throughout the wedding weekend, and that’s completely normal.

In Western North Carolina though, you won’t have to worry about grandma’s entertainment! Whether you book an experience for your wedding party or give guests free time to explore, North Carolina boasts a variety of activities. From zip-lining and whitewater rafting to vineyard walks and tasting experiences, your wedding is bound to turn into a complete vacation for everyone!
