Exceptional Experience!

GORGEOUS VENUE! Chetola boasts a one of a kind lakefront venue for both ceremony and reception. We were so lucky to get married during the beautiful fall season in Blowing Rock. Our wedding took place under willow tree and we had originally planned for our reception to be at the lakeside tent. When we downsized our wedding (due to COVID) we were able to seamlessly transition to a reception at the lakeside arbor. Jeffrey and Chassie were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the planning and replanning process. They were professional, organized and responsive to our questions and needs. Chetola's World class Chef and baker both exceeded all of our expectations. The food was the best wedding food we have ever had and all of our guests agreed! The wait staff were polite and attentive all evening. The resort is flexible and accommodating to all guest's needs and very family friendly with ample activities for entertainment. The convenient location to town and hiking made Chetola the perfect place for our guests to stay during their visit to Blowing Rock. There is nothing we would change about our perfect wedding experience at Chetola!

October Wedding at Chetola

We had a great experience booking with Chetola. It is absolutely beautiful, and all of our guests spoke highly of the venue. Chassie and the team worked with us to set everything up how we imagined. Would definitely recommend!

Great team to work with

The staff at Chetola were very accommodating while planning a wedding during COVID. We had lots of unknowns and the staff were reassuring as we navigated the process. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food delicious and the staff easy to work with. Highly recommend it!

LOVE this venue!

We really loved working with Kara and her team. They were on the ball with things all night that we may have requested or needed done and did it with a smile. Kara was extremely helpful with my bride who was in the military as we planned from afar. I will totally recommend them to all of my brides for the future! I hope to have a wedding there again soon!
