When we think winter weddings, we think of something elegant, yet cozy. The east coast certainly comes to mind. Tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Inn on Biltmore Estate is elegant and welcoming. We can’t think of a better location for a winter wedding.

The grand chateau was completed in 1895, and the venue is filled with original art by Renoir, 16th-century tapestries, and vintage furniture. There are spaces for Cocktail Hour (think: the Gallery). Their main ballroom has a 70-foot ceiling.

The estate has several wedding options to choose from: the gracious Lioncrest Grand Ballroom, the casually elegant Antler Hill Barn, the stunning hilltop at Diana, and many more. What’s more, all wedding packages include a selected menu, four-hour open bar, customized wedding cake, champagne toast, and, for the bride and groom, complimentary overnight stay.

They also offer the following extras to complete your wedding day:

• Carriage rides for the bride and groom
• Spa services including wedding massages, pedicures, and manicures
• Private wine tastings at Biltmore’s award-winning Winery
• Event rentals including tents, linens, lighting and décor
• Custom floral creations
• Spectacular fireworks

As an added bonus, the Inn has so many great spaces, you can also host your rehearsal dinner here too so you and your guests do not have to stray far.
