Wedding Day

Chestnut Mountain Resort was a perfect place to get married. Their prices are very reasonable and the staff is very friendly. I didn’t have to worry about anything on my wedding day because I knew I was in good hands!

We had a lovely wedding!!

My husband and I had our wedding here in October and it was lovely! The beautiful scenic views, the great tent and the availability of rooms with food helped make this our wedding venue! Our guests complimented us in the wedding. The only thing to mention is the rooms need updating but we were not there for long periods of time.

So far so amazing

We will be getting married this October at North Point with our reception in the sunset garden tent! Our on site wedding coordinator, Chelsea, is on point, quick to respond and very flexible - also helpful with MOB/MOG who have one to many questions 🥰 tasting and consultations / planning appointments have been nothing but spectacular so far - will update after the big day
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
