11 Awe-Inspiring Wedding Venues in the Appalachian Mountains
Few things are more romantic than a mountaintop aerie, and in the East, we’re blessed with a real winner of a range in the Appalachians. Among the oldest mountains on earth, this range is truly spectacular, stretching over 2,000 miles all the way from Alabama to Newfoundland. The regions at the heart of its expansive footprint boast some of the most picturesque natural settings in the country—and a welcoming, authentic charm you can’t find anywhere else. From intimate mountaintop inns in North Carolina to adventurous eco-resorts in West Virginia to rustic farms and historic estates in Pennsylvania, you’ll be spoiled for choice… and for unbeatable Appalachian views.
