Unique Wedding Venues And Glamping Options in Blue Ridge Mountains
A unique location for your wedding doesn’t have to be a proper or traditional “venue”! If you’re wanting something different for your day, it does require a mental shift. Instead of starting your search for “wedding venues” in your desired location, FIRST start with asking yourself some other questions; What environments inspire you? Where do you like to spend your time? Do you and your significant other have any places that hold a lot of meaning for your relationship? You can find some really cool options like art museums, coffee shops, mountain tops, libraries, flower farms, greenhouses, and so much more! One of my favorite ways to find really unique places to hold your wedding, especially in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is to look at AirBnB’s, vacation rentals, and luxury glamping options.
Okay, so you are ready to start finding unique wedding venues but don’t know where to start. Below are some of my personal favorites and options when it comes to finding the perfect location for your wedding or elopement.
You do not have to go the traditional venue route if you are having an intimate wedding or elopement. It's time to think outside the box!
And then reap the benefits! Now you also have a place to stay. You can get ready or host an intimate reception in the same place. You can easily accommodate guests and dogs. You have a spot to come back and visit for your anniversary. You can really personalize the location and make it your own.
Here are just a FEW of my favorite locations for a small wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountain area:
