    Fairy tale summer wedding

    If I could give Loralei Inn more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

    From the very beginning, Lora was so much more than a venue owner. She was a planner, coordinator, problem-solver, and a calming presence throughout the entire wedding process. She helped guide us through countless decisions, answered every question, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel so manageable.

    On our wedding day, everything flowed seamlessly. I’m sure there were little hiccups behind the scenes—as there always are with weddings—but if there were, I never knew about them. Lora handled everything so effortlessly that Michael and I were able to be completely present and enjoy every single moment with our family and friends. That is such an incredible gift.

    The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and every detail came together better than I could have imagined. The flowers were stunning, the food was phenomenal, and every vendor exceeded our expectations. Everything met our vision—and honestly surpassed it.

    If you’re looking for a venue where you can truly trust that you’re in good hands, Loralei Inn is it. Lora genuinely cares about her couples and pours her heart into making each wedding special. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a single thing about our day, and so much of that is because of her and the incredible team at Loralei Inn.

    Thank you, Lora, for giving us the most perfect wedding day. We’ll treasure those memories forever

    Perfect Fall Wedding!

    We had the most beautiful wedding weekend at the Loralei Inn in November of 2025! The venue is absolutely stunning, with 360 degree mountain views. All our guests raved about how beautiful the setting was. I wanted a fall wedding in the mountains and they more than delivered everything I was hoping for!
    Lora and her team planned our event for us, which was a great help. They found the vendors and initiated contact between them. I just shared the vision and they helped it come to life!
    We were able to do the rehearsal dinner at the Loralei Inn as well, and had people stay the entire weekend on site which was a huge help. The bridesmaids stayed overnight and got ready on site in the bridal suite. There is plenty of parking on site. Every detail was taken care of. Would 1000% recommend the Loralei Inn for anyone in the area looking for an amazing wedding venue run by down to earth people! :)

    Hidden Gem

    The Loralei Inn was a true gem for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, Lora and her team were incredibly professional, fast, and responsive in all of our communication. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our day was perfect was unparalleled. They truly went above and beyond, adopting us as family and guiding us through every step of the day-to-day wedding planning process. Our wedding was flawless thanks to their exceptional service and expertise. The Loralei Inn is a top-notch venue with an excellent value, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

    So glad we picked The Loralei Inn!

    The Loralei Inn was the perfect place for our wedding and my husband and I feel so blessed that we were able to have our day there! The views were breathtaking and were all our guests could talk about! Lora and her team treated us like family and were incredibly warm and welcoming to our friends and family. Both the food and flowers were amazing!

    Say yes to the venue!

    I’m not sure where to start with my review on the Loralei Inn. My new husband & I couldn’t be more thankful & blessed to have hosted our wedding here in June of 2024. The care and professional you’ll experience here is unlike any other wedding venue. Lora (owner, coordinator, planner) is hands down the best woman in the world & I couldn’t have pulled off a more amazing wedding without her. From the first day I toured this venue & met Lora, it was a match made in Heaven. The venue itself is one right out of a mountain fairytale. You have 360 degree views of the mountains at every turn. The landscaping & greenery is the perfect focal point for any occasion. The rooms are immaculate for getting ready in & staying the weekend in! You will never need or want for anything if you host your wedding here. Her vendors are also amazing- florist, catering, rentals, bartenders, etc. Lora has become a second mama bear, a best friend, and forever family.

    Elegant venue, great people

    What can I say - this venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding! Not only is the house and property just absolutely stunning on its own along with beautiful mountain views, we truly felt like we became part of the family! Lora was our mama for the wedding process - she had only our best interest at heart and worked incredibly hard to make sure we had the best possible day. One of the huge advantages of this venue is the ability to rent out the house for days! My family was able to stay on site for the whole weekend, which specifically made my parents, grandma, and 8-month pregnant sister so happy! Everyone raved about how beautiful the venue/wedding was!

    Rainy day wedding bliss

    What a beautiful place with fantastic mountain views. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. The owner and staff are wonderful. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, we enjoyed the covered portico for for the rain backup where we still had the outdoor feel with beautiful mountain views behind us.

    Perfect!!!

    From the first time I pulled up the driveway in front of this gorgeous venue I knew it was a spot for me and my husband to be. Moments later when we met and spent time with Lora we knew for sure that she totally understood our vision of our wedding. Lora took care of all the arrangements for our floral photography everything including food I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Incredible Wedding, Best Value Around!!

    Incredible venue! Our wedding was perfect, and the team at the Loralei helped to make a terrible day (weather, etc.) into one that we will remember for the rest of our lives. The best value for a wedding venue anywhere in Western NC!!

    Wow - You have to read this review

    Wow. If you want an unforgettable experience, this is the place for you. We had our kids wedding here this week and WOW.

    Let's start with the location. It's located in a slice of heaven on 100 acres in the smokey mountains. When we arrived, we were amazed at the mansion. It is out of a picture book. Then the view. The view is amazing. Words can not describe the panoramic view of the mountains. And this was not the best part of the wedding.

    The best part of the wedding was the people. They are the most caring people I've met. I've never seen a photographer take this many pictures. The cake was to die for. The flowers were beautiful. And the minister sincerely cared for the bride and groom, and everything was completed to perfection.

    In summary, you are crazy if you don't check this place out for your wedding, special event, or Air BNB.

    Amazing Venue!

    The Loralei Inn was a wonderful venue for our October wedding. We booked it for the whole weekend, our family stayed in the house and we were able to host our rehersal dinner there as well. The staff made everything so perfect and magical. They made our vision even better than we could have imagined! And not to mention the views are STUNNING! Our guests could say enough how spectacular the venue was. Plus they let us have our dogs there, which was very important to us.

    The Most Gorgeous Venue

    I got married here on November 2nd, 2019. The greatest part of my wedding (besides marrying the man of my dreams) was this GORGEOUS venue! The Inn is private, made me feel at peace, it feels magical as you drive up, Lora is very sweet, and my guests were blown away by the scenery. I loved having an outdoor/indoor wedding.

    The Inn is very clean, well stocked and PERFECT for a 1920's themed wedding! I could not be happier with Lora or the Loralei Inn!

    Note to Brides: Never hire Kristi Mayran of Stargazers Floral to be your wedding coordinator. She (almost) ruined our big day as she was highly inappropriate, lazy and unprofessional. Thankfully, the day was saved because the Loralei Inn was so beautiful and special.

    Almost Perfect

    The Loralei Inn is a great venue, there is plenty of space for people to stay and the house is stunning. Kristi did a great job helping us along the way. I also like that we got to do bridal portraits a few months before, this gave us a chance to really see the venue again.

    What it lacked for us was good pest control. We had yellow jackets all over during cocktail hour and reception. It is not fun having guests get stung or having to throw out drinks because they flew into them. I am disappointed because we did tell them when we were there for bridal Portraits that they were a problem.
    Also, the day we were going to the venue they told us that one of the oven burners was out and the shower in the bridal suite was unusable. The oven is no biggie, but it's very awkward to be a newlywed couple who has to go beg for showers in other rooms. Also, I don't think they found out the shower broke as we were on our way, so a bit more warning would have been nice.
