Here are some things that couples LOVE about our Nantahala Weddings, and I think you will, too:

OUR PROMISE: No other weddings or any other events will take place on our property for the duration of your stay!

PETS ARE WELCOME GUESTS! We allow pets inside most buildings and everywhere on the venue grounds. Pets are often part of the ceremony and are most certainly welcome during your reception!

With NO MANADATORY END TIME and NO NOISE RESTRICTIONS for your reception or any other event you might host at the venue over the weekend, the focus is on relaxing and having fun! Nantahala Weddings is all about the experience—before, during, and after your wedding.

A little more about us…

Destination vibes – Surrounded by the pristine natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains, our venue is intimate, magical, and elegant with lake and mountain views that will make your guests swoon. Have a look at Beautiful Backdrops, and just think about the gorgeous wedding photos you’ll have.

Amazing Venue

There are truly not enough great things to say about Nantahala Weddings and the amazing owner Jody. We booked the venue sight unseen due to living 4 hours away. The website shows you everything you would need to see without even being there. When we went for our first tour we were breathless as pictures of course don’t do it justice. Jody was amazing to work with from the beginning her preferred vendors list was a life saver and everyone we booked minus photographer was on there. We made life long friends from the vendors we had. Check in was a breeze and having 3 nights there with our close friends and family was exactly what we could have dreamed of. If you are looking for an all inclusive vide venue in the mountains this is your place. Nantahala weddings will always have a piece of our heart, we will visit the Mateos for years to come!

Gorgeous Venue! The perfect spot for a wedding.

The perfect wedding venue! Chapel in the Sky is absolutely stunning. We had the perfect elopement with a few friends and family. Jennifer made our dream come true with the beautifully decorated awning and she even drove our elderly guests to the top for us! She is so sweet. Jody, the owner is so wonderful too!!! She is professional, personable and strives on making what you want happen. The staff is excellent. Hands down! The bridal suite and man cave were perfect, too. This venue is the most gorgeous, hidden gem I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. We are grateful to be married at such a beautiful place. The memories we made there will last us a lifetime. Thank you, Nantahala Wedding Venue! 10 stars!
