For larger weddings (up to 100 guests), our bed and breakfast near Asheville offers two outdoor, open-air venues, both of which have spectacular views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. You’re welcome to use one or both of our venue locations in order to accommodate your family, friends and loved ones.

For North Carolina mountain elopements, or smaller weddings for up to 25 guests, we make available the facilities at our Victorian Inn. This is a wonderful choice if you would prefer an indoor venue and have an appreciation for the old world charm or the inn’s historic architecture. Not planning a wedding? The same grounds and inn host corporate retreats, family reunions, and other private gatherings. See our groups and retreats options.

Submit the inquiry form and you will receive an email from Ward, one of the owners, within one business day. It includes our full wedding guide with pricing, plus a link to schedule a call so we can introduce ourselves properly and hear what you are planning.

Ward is your first point of contact and the person you will talk the wedding through with. Your primary contacts are Ward and Alex, the other owner and our on-site manager. You will meet other members of the Engadine team along the way as well.

How far ahead you should book depends on the size of the wedding, and the honest answer is that the venue is usually not the constraint. Your photographer, caterer, planner and rental vendors are, and the good ones fill up. Fall color season fills a year or more ahead, so if you want those dates, plan for it. Larger weddings are best booked about a year out, mostly so you have your pick of vendors. Elopements and small ceremonies can come together in a matter of days when the date is open. We can work with most timelines, and the earlier you reach out, the more of your wedding is still your choice rather than what is left.

If it rains, plan A is to wait it out. Mountain weather moves quickly and most showers pass. Plan B is to hold the ceremony under the reception tent at Vineyard Overlook, so the ceremony and reception happen in one place. Plan C applies only to genuinely unsafe conditions, where safety comes first and we will work with you on a new date. We talk through your weather plan well before the day, so nobody is making that call in the moment.

We do not require you to use specific vendors. Bring the caterer, florist, photographer, and musicians who fit your vision. We do ask to approve vendors before the event, which keeps things running cleanly on a working historic property, and once you are under contract we share our preferred vendor list of people who already know Engadine and how the day flows here.

We do require a day-of coordinator. A wedding planner is not required, but for anything beyond a small ceremony we strongly suggest one. Running a full wedding day across twelve acres is more work than most couples expect, and a good planner is usually the difference between hosting your wedding and actually getting to enjoy it. If you want a starting point, we are glad to recommend both a coordinator and a planner.
