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.

Where to begin. I will start off saying the most important – venue owners Amy and Shane Clark are truly some of the kindest people you will meet. The Venue at Rose Springs Farm was only the second venue my fiance (now husband) and I toured, but after meeting them and seeing the stunning venue I instantly knew we HAD to book it. I could just tell from that first encounter the passion, love, and joy they had for creating amazing wedding days. I went from feeling completely stressed about the task of planning a wedding to feeling like, “if I have the Clarks by my side I can totally do this.” So almost immediately we booked our date for about a year out and we also booked Amy to be our day-of-coordinator. Other than saying “yes” when Greg asked me to marry him, this was the best decision I made! Amy truly went above and beyond as a day-of-coordinator for us, and we are forever grateful. From many, many phone calls with me, either talking me out of a panic over the timeline or just brainstorming “what if” scenarios, to meetings in person where she helped me and my mom pick out the perfect décor from the HUGE stock of included items and helped me plan how the day would go. (Seriously, the décor closet is the place dreams are made of.) One of the many things I hold close to my heart and will remember forever was when I asked Amy and Shane how Greg and I could have a traditional Jewish wedding chuppah to get married under. Should I buy something? Should my dad try and build something? I showed them photos of a chuppah and I was met with “Oh! We can totally figure that out for you – we got you.” And they really did. Shane was able to construct two of the wedding arches they had together and Amy used her magic skills to make it beautiful with fabric and flowers. This is a perfect example of how the Clarks are, this is how they responded to anything at all during the planning process – with a kind and loving “we got you.” And Greg and I truly felt that. When it came to the wedding day we had no doubt in our mind the day would flow smoothly, and it did. If there was a hiccup – we didn't know about it! Amy did her day-of-coordinator duties beautifully and Shane kept the entire venue and staff running smoothly. Still to this day we do not know how he and his team manage to set up and take down chairs and move tables around so stealthy and quickly! Little things about that day that stood out in my mind that any couple thinking of booking Rose Springs Farm should know – the beautiful and spacious bridal suite had the sweetest mimosa bar set up for me and my bridesmaids. Lining up for the processional went so smoothly I didn't even realize it was happening until I heard my entrance song being played – that is how non-stressed they made me feel. The (included!) tealights were all lit on the tables when we walked into the reception space, and it was so twinkly and magical. Greg and I got a picnic basket at the end of the evening with food from our buffet and dessert in it. This made me tear up it was so sweet and made us able to have a cozy evening in the next night and relive the whole day over a meal we didn't have to worry about! When it comes to weddings, Amy and Shane REALLY, TRULY know what they are doing. I will recommend this venue to anyone I know who is getting married. I am so happy they are a part of our story and helped to get our “forever” off to a wonderful start. THANK YOU!

About wedding venues in Waynesville, NC

Why Choose Waynesville for Your Mountain Wedding?

Waynesville sits right in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, giving you breathtaking panoramic mountain views and genuine Appalachian charm for your wedding day. You'll find the town perfectly positioned near Blue Ridge Parkway with stunning seasonal backdrops; fall weddings here are especially magical with those vibrant autumn colors framing your ceremony. Venues like Barn Star Events feature authentic converted farm structures where original timber beams add character to your celebration. If you prefer a more manicured setting, Laurel Ridge Country Club delivers those beautiful mountain views you're dreaming of. The best part? While you'll feel immersed in Western North Carolina's rich cultural heritage, you're still just 30 minutes from all of Asheville's urban conveniences.

What Venue Types Can You Find in Waynesville?

Waynesville offers a diverse wedding venue landscape that suits practically any style. Rustic barn and farm venues like Barn Star Events give you both indoor and outdoor ceremony options along with private wedding party suites, a full food prep area and accessible restrooms you'll appreciate. Country club settings at Laurel Ridge provide multiple event spaces with convenient bridal suite access in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for something with historical character, The 37 Wedding Venue occupies a charming historic building right in downtown Waynesville with sophisticated ballrooms that can handle your larger guest list. For more intimate celebrations, estate venues like The Yellow House specialize in micro-weddings with exclusive property use and the convenience of on-site accommodations for your closest friends and family.
