Planning to say "I do" in North Carolina? I’ve explored weddings across this beautiful state, and trust me—whether you’re dreaming of mountain views, vineyard charm, beachside breezes, or historic elegance, North Carolina has something that will steal your heart. You’ll find venues here that feel personal, romantic, and just right for your style.
Highlights:
- The Biltmore Estate – Asheville – I was speechless the first time I saw this place. If you want a wedding that feels grand and straight out of a fairytale, this estate is pure magic.
- Fearrington Village – Pittsboro – I strolled through the gardens and instantly felt at ease. You’ll love the mix of barns, flowers, and Southern charm—it’s cozy and elegant all at once.
- The Sanderling Resort – Outer Banks – I’ve watched couples say their vows right on the sand here, and the ocean backdrop is unforgettable. If you’re drawn to beachside romance, this is a must-see.
- WinMock at Kinderton – Bermuda Run – I visited during a fall wedding and was wowed by how perfectly rustic and polished it felt. You’ll love the historic barn setting paired with modern elegance.
- The Graylyn Estate – Winston-Salem – Walking through this mansion felt like stepping into another time. If you’re looking for lush gardens, vintage flair, and true Old World grandeur, you’re going to fall in love here.
