The Loralei Inn Reviews

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.
