We got married here and it was an amazing experience! From start to finish everyone was very helpful and accommodating of all our vendors. We even had llamas come from a nearby farm for our first look photos and for the guests to interact with before the wedding. The bridal suite gave me a great area to prepare in private while also giving enough room for my family and friends to be there for me. My husband also enjoyed having the RV to get ready as well. The views made for some incredible pictures! Highly recommend!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Nantahala Weddings and were so happy we chose them as our venue. Jody and Jess, the venue owners, provided excellent communication throughout the planning process - they responded quickly to all of our questions and requests for information. The mountain backdrop could not have been more perfect for our wedding vision. The outdoor ceremony space was intimate yet spacious, with beautiful landscaping and mountain views that made for incredible photos. For the value, we felt Nantahala Weddings was very reasonably priced compared to other venues we toured, we got the full weekend with no set end time! We highly recommend them for any couple looking for a stunning mountain venue with responsive, friendly owners.

The Serenity Ridge team was amazing on our special day! We got married just a week after Hurricane Helene hit, and we were devastated thinking our wedding might not happen or be what we had envisioned. Haley, Elliot, Jordan, and Katie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from finding propane tanks to securing the food we needed and staying in constant communication with us. By the grace of God, the power came back two days before the wedding, but Serenity Ridge was prepared even if it hadn’t. The day turned out to be everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot thank the team enough for their hospitality, communication, and kindness throughout the process. Not to mention, the venue itself was beautiful—stunning mountain views, delicious breakfast-for-dinner catering, and cute furniture made it all even more perfect. We highly recommend Serenity Ridge for anyone looking for the perfect venue for their big day!

There are no words to describe the love and gratitude we feel for House Boheme. The moment we stepped foot onto the property we knew this was the place we wanted to spend our wedding day at. Don't get me wrong the scenery is beautiful, the property is dreamy, and the decor is stunning but what sold us was Coco and Emerson. They have built something so special at House Boheme and you can feel the love from them everywhere on the property. From the very beginning they treated us like family and made every single step of planning a wedding stress free. I am not lying STRESS FREE. My piece of advice chose the venue, choose them (flowers and photography) and then TRUST them to work their magic because they will. There is not one single con or negative thing I can say about the venue, the property, or them. I choose them over and over again, every single time. Do yourself a favor and hire them, you won't regret it.
