If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” surrounded by Blue Ridge Mountain beauty, I’ve got just the place for you—Roanoke. I’ve explored venues all over the region, and trust me, this town has that perfect blend of scenic charm, Southern warmth, and unique personality. Whether you’re imagining a grand ballroom celebration or an intimate garden ceremony, you’ll find your ideal setting here.
Highlights:
- Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center – I’ve always loved the elegant, Tudor-style vibe here. You’ll get historic character, grand ballrooms, and those cozy garden terraces that are picture-perfect for cocktail hour.
- Taubman Museum of Art – If you’re going for a modern and artistic feel, you’ll want to check this out. I remember walking in and being wowed by the architecture alone—you’ll love the sleek lines and skyline views.
- Hidden Valley Country Club – I’ve seen weddings here that feel straight out of a movie. You’ll be surrounded by mountain views and rolling greens, and the indoor spaces offer just the right touch of elegance.
- Sundara – This one’s a romantic dream. I’ve watched sunsets light up the Blue Ridge from their gardens, and I can’t think of a more magical place for you to start your forever.
- Rockledge – Perched high above the city, this historic estate stole my heart. If you’re hoping for sweeping views and timeless charm, I know you’ll fall in love with it too.
