Perfect wedding at the Biltmore!

Our wedding at the Inn on Biltmore Estate was absolutely perfect. We stayed at the Inn over the weekend and upgraded to a Mountain Suite which had beautiful views and plenty of space for the ladies to get ready with hair and makeup in the morning. We did the first look at the Inn and then went over to the Biltmore House for wedding pictures. The photos came out so beautifully with the Biltmore as the backdrop. The ceremony was held at the Vista at the Inn which has a great view overlooking the mountains. The cocktail hour was held on the Terrace, the bar was in the Gallery, and the reception was in the Vanderbilt ballroom. We had 55 guests so the space was the perfect size (max capacity is 80). The food was incredible. Multiple hors d'oeuvres, cheese and charcuterie board, carving station, and each pasta station came with two types of pasta. The cake made by the pastry chef at the Inn was also delicious and they designed it beautifully as we had described our vision to them. We also used Biltmore Floral as our florist and all the bouquets and flower arrangements were so pretty. The flower arch for the ceremony was gorgeous and they picked the most beautiful flowers that matched our color scheme and preferences. The Biltmore wedding team throughout the process was very helpful and communicative (shoutout to Tara!). Having our wedding at the Biltmore made it all the more special for us and our guests and we can't imagine having had it anywhere else!

Beyond Incredible

The Biltmore Estate was an absolute dream of a wedding venue. It was beyond my wildest expectations. I lost count how many guests told me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. October 30 had perfect skies, leave changes in the trees, and fantastic weather. Nothing beats the backdrop of the most beautiful home in America, surrounded by stunning mountains and trees and grounds. We were so impressed by the entire process. They somehow managed to make us feel like we were the only wedding that year when I am sure we weren't even the only wedding that weekend. We got married at the Diana venue overlooking the house and it was absolutely perfect. They will not do another wedding near the house if this is where your wedding is booked. Stephanie Moline was a huge, huge help and so kind and thoughtful! She works incredibly hard and is a wealth of knowledge! The food was all incredible, the cake was beautiful and delicious, and the decor was exactly what we wanted!! Thank you!!!
