an unforgettable wedding experience for you and your guests. Few events are as romantic as a seaside wedding — the gentle breezes, the splash of ocean waves and the cries of gulls all say you’re in a special place on your special day. Exchange vows as you stand on the warm sandy beach, dance under the stars, and celebrate your special day with your dearest loved ones. With an idyllic setting of clear skies, crystal blue ocean and beautiful beaches, the North Carolina coast is a premier wedding and honeymoon destination. But, if the beach is not your preference, North Carolina offers and abundance of other destinations to choose from. Beautiful and quaint Inns adorn the hills of the North Carolina Mountains. Outdoor romantic opportunities are everywhere from hiking among the trickling streams to spending the afternoon on a leisurely picnic for two. Mountain towns and cities like Asheville, Hendersonville and Blowing Rock offer everything from upscale ski resorts to country cottages for wedding sites and accommodations. Exchange your vows at the Biltmore Estate, America’s only “castle,” atop Chimney Rock with its 75-mile panoramic view, or at the base of 404-foot Hickory Nut Falls. Stately mansions are sprinkled through the North Carolina’s Piedmont – each with its own style and personality. They provide an elegance that can be shared with a large or intimate ceremony. The Piedmont is the center of the state’s vibrant wine industry, also a spectacular wedding destination. Vows and vines just go together at the more than 70 wineries across the state. You can also choose a “big city” wedding in a destination such as Charlotte or a traditional wedding in Pinehurst which offers a world-class spa, afternoon tea, and of course, golf. The choice is yours. Weigh the pros and cons and pick your perfect location.
