Hidden River Events

Destination Weddings

Whether you live in West­ern North Car­olina or are com­ing to Asheville from far­ther away, Hid­den River pro­vides a great set­ting for your wed­ding. Asheville, a mid-sized, very eclec­tic south­ern city, has much to offer its vis­i­tors. From the grand Bilt­more Estate, to the Blue Ridge Park­way, to fine din­ing in a truly remark­able down­town that is filled with his­toric archi­tec­ture, you can’t go wrong. By offer­ing on-site accom­mo­da­tions at a very afford­able rate, clients have the chance to have a true gath­er­ing of fam­ily and friends for more than just a few hours of your wedding.

At Hid­den River, we seek to accom­mo­date both smaller and larger wed­dings, elope­ments and com­mit­ment cer­e­monies. For all event types, we offer a basic pack­age that includes every­thing you need for your event, in terms of infra­struc­ture, and a choice of ven­dors for all addi­tional items, from a list of Select Ven­dors who offer us rea­son­able and excep­tional prod­ucts and ser­vices.  Most every­thing you need for your event is included and other ameni­ties that can be added as well.

With accom­mo­da­tions for up to 55 guests on our prop­erty and numer­ous qual­ity hotels just 1.5miles from Hid­den River at Exit #55 on I-40, clients can have a great time with their friends, with­out being rushed.  Clients who use our accom­mo­da­tions as well as our Cer­e­mony and Recep­tion sites, can have on-site cook­outs, time on the river and by our pond, hik­ing on the nearly 25 miles of hik­ing trails that are adja­cent to our prop­erty, etc.  We are for­tu­nate to be located in one of the pret­ti­est val­leys in the region, pre­served in large part because of the 100+ year his­tory of our neigh­bor, War­ren Wil­son Col­lege, with its 1100 acres of land, 500+ of which con­tain pas­toral views of lovely val­ley farm­land and over 25 miles of hik­ing trails, acces­si­ble from Hid­den River.

Area Activ­i­ties

Asheville, Black Moun­tain and West­ern North Car­olina in gen­eral offer great activ­i­ties:  Con­sider a day of canoe­ing or raft­ing with the Nan­ta­hala Out­door Cen­ter or a tour of the Bilt­more Estate or a leisurely 4–6 hour ride and/or raft trip on the Great Smoky Moun­tain Rail­road. Drive up to Mt. Mitchell State Park, just 45 min­utes from Hid­den River, to visit the high­est peak east of the Mis­sis­sippi River. There are plenty of great moun­tain golf courses in the region and, pretty soon, folks will be able to play at Tiger Woods’ only North Amer­i­can golf course, just five min­utes from Hid­den River at The Cliffs at High Car­olina. Down­town shops at the Grove Arcade and at other loca­tions in the city have amaz­ing art and din­ing such as Tupelo Honey Café, and the Blue Ridge Park­way has regional arts and crafts at the Folk Art Cen­ter of the South­ern High­lands. Some cou­ples might wish to have their cer­e­mony and recep­tion with us and then stay on for their hon­ey­moon at the Grove Park Inn, The Bilt­more Estate or any of the numer­ous lovely B&B’s in down­town Asheville or Inns of Black Moun­tain. There are a lot of choices.

Whether you rent our facil­ity for a day or for a week­end or more, our staff works dili­gently to craft an event that is suited to your per­sonal taste while being faith­fully ele­gant. From the food selec­tions to the musi­cians we can offer, you’ll find there’s noth­ing “pack­aged” about our packages.

We are here to make your event feel truly your own! Con­tact us today to book a tour.
