Picturesque location in the mountains
We had our wedding on October 27th at Nantahala Weddings and Events. It was truly a gorgeous venue! Our wedding was at the perfect time to see the fall color changes and everyone commented on how pretty and picturesque the location was. We were also fortunate enough to have family caterers available to cook for our wedding they commented on how well equipped the facilities were. Jody also has all sorts of decorations and extras available to ease the stress of purchasing decorations -- she has really thought of everything! I can't recommend her more highly! Jody was also so helpful throughout the entire planning process and gave us so many recommendations for local vendors - all of whom were fantastic.You can certainly tell that Jody takes pride in the area and her community - she has an excellent reputation with everyone we talked to and really has the connections to make planning a wedding easy.

Lots of counter/refrigeration/freezer space. I chose to cook on premise for 50 ppl so I had to come prepared with lots of stuff. The owners are very accommodating for my specific needs. Book with confidence.
