Just the thought of this place brings me warm and fuzzy feelings. We wanted to bring our family and friends to a charming mountain town for a wedding weekend. The Hemlock exceeded my expectations.
1. The Inn can house 60-70 people. Most of our guests were able to stay onsite all weekend. We had the place to ourselves and we were able to enjoy each other all weekend. It had such an intimate feel.
2. They serve dinner family style around lazy Susans. This is how our rehearsal dinner was done followed by games on the lawn under string lights. The food and laid-back atmosphere received many compliments.
3. They served a wonderful country breakfast for Inn guests each morning.
4. The town of Bryson City is an ideal small mountain town with little boutique shops, a train, hiking, and water activities.
5. They have a beautiful, serene lawn overlooking the mountains where we had the ceremony and reception. I couldn’t have asked for a prettier venue.
As if the Inn, its beauty and atmosphere weren’t great enough, you also get the amazing Innkeepers and staff to seamlessly guide you through the process to boot. Lainey and Mort made us feel so special and welcome. By the end of the weekend, they were part of the family. Lainey was a great, mindful planning partner. I hired a coordinator but relied way more on the Innkeepers. Leading up to the wedding, they were ridiculously responsive, flexible, accommodating and reassuring. Lainey calmed my nerves about the unknowns, the weather, and she and Mort made it come together magically. Our wedding was perfect thanks to the Innkeepers and their preservation of this wonderful place. They are some of my favorite people in the world.
The Hemlock was our BEST wedding choice. Our wedding experience wouldn't have been the same elsewhere. Dozens of people have said that they'll be back. We have booked a trip back this fall! I can’t wait to spend peaceful evenings retelling our wedding story with the Innkeepers for years to come!

The Hemlock Inn was the perfect place for me and Steven to have our wedding! Overlooking the gorgeous mountains, this location was truly magical for our early summer wedding. The inn staff was genuinely friendly and willing to help with even the smallest requests. Not only was it a perfect location for our wedding but the convenience of staying on property and having our guests stay as well, made for an incredible wedding weekend!

I had dreamed of my ideal wedding for many years and this wedding weekend exceeded all my dreams! If you're interested in a quaint, getaway wedding weekend filled with rocking in the red rocking chairs and, most of all, having memories be made, choose the Hemlock Inn. You will not regret it!

The Hemlock Inn is the PERFECT place for a destination mountain wedding. Not only do they have the best view of the Smokey Mountains, they have the best food south of the Mason-Dixon Line! The innkeepers, Mort and Lainey, are the sweetest couple and make sure everything runs smoothly! Guests are expected to stay at the inn where everything takes place: Friday nights rehearsal dinner and Saturdays ceremony and reception, so it is truly a weekend getaway with your wedding guests. There are so many activities for guests to do Friday and Saturday just a couple miles down the road! The Hemlock Inn staff are so friendly and wonderful to work with. I will recommend this place a hundred times over and am so excited we have such a special place to visit for weekend getaways, anniversaries, etc!
