NANTAHALA WEDDINGS PACKAGES AND PRICING

How to use this page: 

1. Roam.
Explore our packages and see exactly what’s included—no hidden fees. Starting prices for packages range from $750–$14,750. Because we don’t require or bundle in-house vendors, we built a Personal Quote + Budget Estimator using real pricing from some of our favorite local vendors. Play around with it to estimate not only your Nantahala package, but what your whole wedding could cost.

2. Remember where you are.
This is not a ballroom-and-bed-by-ten kind of place. This is Nantahala. That means no curfew and no limit on how many gatherings you host while you’re here.

3. Bring your (most beloved and fun) people.
We created this place for lake days, mountain hikes, cozy fire-pit hangs, and really late nights. But you have to bring the people who make it magical. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you get married.

Stay for the weekend. Come for the day. Or just say “I do.” It’s up to you.

Just don’t forget to look up at the trees at some point.
