Lake Lure Inn and Spa was the best decision ever!

I had no idea when I offered my daughter to help her with her wedding what I was really getting into.
Thankfully, Lake Lure showed up as an option, and boy was this the best decision we made.
If you are looking for amazing views of the mountain and a lake combined, Lake Lure is the place.
If you are looking for a place that is sober, elegant and old. Lake Lure is the perfect place to be. Not only did it host a former president but the structure and decoration resembles that of an old mansion or Hotel of the 20th century. You will feel as if you had stepped back in time.
I had no idea what a wedding planner really needed to do. So when I said: "I can do that" I did not know what I was saying. But Christopher, the events manager and the whole personnel at the Inn guided me and my daughter, in order to have the best wedding and family experience ever.
The whole family was simply enchanted by the place and the surroundings and with its history as well. Whether you are looking for a place, Biltmore looking like or, if you are looking to get the "Dirty Dancing/ Patrick Swayze/ Jennifer Grey" vibes. Lake Lure Inn and Spa has it.
So if you are looking into Lake Lure for a wedding venue you will love it forever.

The Most Romantic and Historic Wedding Venue in NC!

We cannot recommend the 1927 Lake Lure Inn enough for a wedding venue! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. They were welcoming, kind, and incredibly attentive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. They helped us create the wedding reception of our dreams, and everything turned out even better than we imagined. The food was absolutely amazing—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and the historic charm of the venue added such a special touch to our celebration. If you’re looking for a stunning location with exceptional service, the 1927 Lake Lure Inn is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for the memories they helped us create!

Excellent Teamwork!

The staff at the Lake Lure Inn are INCREDIBLE! Everyone went above and beyond to ensure each detail of the wedding was executed with precision. I specifically want to recognize Amy, Shane, Emily, Lindsey for their continuous communication throughout the wedding planning process. Emails and phone calls were returned promptly. Creative ideas to overcome unexpected challenges were impressive. Thanks for being such a strong partner in making wedding dreams come true.

Wedding of Sarah and Avery 01/15/22

As the mother of the bride, I highly recommended the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa as a wedding venue! The Inn is beautiful and eclectic with a vintage feel. Staff is responsive, helpful and kind. We loved the food and the gorgeous lake and mountain views! We were lucky enough to get snowed in ... about a foot of snow! Our newlyweds loved it! The staff sprang into action and accommodated us, as well as provided food...on a day when the Inn is typically closed. I 100%, 10/10, recommend!

Dream Wedding at The 1927 LLI!!

We loved having our ceremony and reception at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and can't recommend it enough!! We fell in love with the beautiful and romantic setting as soon as we arrived for our first site visit. We live in NYC and have family and friends spread out across the Midwest and East Coast, and for several reasons decided to have a "destination" wedding. We wanted to find somewhere all of our guests could stay and have a fun and relaxing weekend getaway without totally breaking the bank. This fit the bill (literally and figuratively) and the actual event turned out even better than we could have ever dreamed. Patrick gave us our first tour and became our main point of contact throughout the entire process. Thank goodness for Patrick - I can't say enough good things about him!! He was such a joy to work with throughout -- especially considering we were dealing with all of the unknowns around covid. Our original date was in May and we moved it to August - even then we were very uncertain whether we would be able to have the wedding until a few weeks before. Once we decided to move forward our guest list went from 120 people to 40 people. Patrick was so helpful and flexible throughout, which reduced the stress and worry! While we are talking about Patrick, I should also mention that all of our guests and vendors raved about him. From coordinating with our vendors to making sure our guests were happy with their rooms, Patrick was on it! I could go on, but the bottom line is from food and accommodations, to the staff and setting, everything was perfect for us and our guests. We can't wait to return and celebrate anniversaries!

Our Perfect Day

Looking for a wedding venue is by far one of the most stressful aspects of planning a wedding and we toured several before we finally decided to visit the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa. From the moment we walked in the door, we knew we had discovered something special. After taking a tour of the Inn we sat down with Patrick to go through how we envisioned our big day. Patrick put together a detailed proposal outlining everything for us and then arranged for us to come back a week later to tour Haynes Hill Estate. We had absolutely no idea how breath taking this spot was. Nestled in the trees looking over the Inn and Lake Lure with a view all the way up the gorge we had found our dream ceremony location. Patrick was by our side throughout the entire planning process and ensured every detail was perfect. He’s like a magician - you say his name or even think about him and he appears, usually with the perfect solution, and always with a little hop and big smile! Patrick, Alyssa, Aaron, Margaret (who also made our delicious wedding cake) and their team are without a doubt one of the most talented in the business. The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful, the staff was friendly and welcoming; even the owners of the Inn & Estate stepped in to assist on our wedding day when a random afternoon shower required us to move all our guests up to their patio until the rain passed. They were out there with the rest of the team wiping down seats and getting things cleaned up so we could proceed with our ceremony. We could not have asked for more from this team and could not imagine a more perfect day! Thank you to our new Lake Lure family, we can’t wait to visit with you again soon!

Thoughtful, professional, unforgettable

The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa was the perfect location for our wedding. It offered amazing views for our guests and for our ceremony to the reception. The level of service, quality of food and constant communication with staff; especially Aaron made everything worth it! We can't wait to go back for our one year anniversary!!!

Magical, charming, wonderful!

The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa is magical! We visited 15 venues across western North Carolina when we first starting wedding planning, and the Lake Lure Inn has something other venues do not - charm. All the antiques and music boxes in the inn make the place feel so unique. There are stunning views of the mountains and lake from the hotel rooms, the veranda for cocktail hour/brunch, and the ceremony site in the meadows. We loved how our wedding guests could stay at the inn, the lake/park is within walking distance, restaurants and downtown Chimney Rock is nearby, I could go on & on - there is so much to do in the area! Patrick managed our event at the inn and made sure that everything went perfectly! He did such a great job and we are so thankful for everything he did to make sure our big day went smoothly - all the meetings, e-mails, and little details! He really cared about making sure we were happy on our wedding day. Everything was absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend this wedding venue/hotel!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

This has to be the best all-inclusive venue in the Asheville and Western North Carolina area. With a beautiful outdoor site for ceremonies, separate spaces for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, it is set up perfectly for weddings and receptions. Everything you need is on property - a salon for hair and makeup, a place to get dressed, transportation, even tables, chairs, and linens. They also have some great options in case of bad weather. The food is excellent-no rubber chicken here! But the best part of working with the Lake Lure Inn is that each and every member of the staff is dedicated to making sure you and your guests have a most amazing experience.

The 1927 was one of the most beautiful venues I've had the opportunity to shoot photography at. The resort sits overlooking a gorgeous mountainside, with a body of water right across the street with gorgeous docks. I also can't say enough about how awesome the staff was, they were so genuine and accommodating, and I was just the photographer! Would love to shoot there again!
