1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa

Back in 2020, my husband and I got engaged at the Flower Bridge there next to the resort in Lake Lure. Immediately we both knew that we wanted to get married in the small, beautiful town. Our first and only tour we took of 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa sealed the deal, and we decided on 10/29 of the following year to get married. Heather, our venue coordinator with the hotel, was great with her service, her care, and communication. It was hands down one of the best nights of our lives, and even with the rain forecasted, everything was beautiful.

We were married Feb 29, 2020. We held a wedding weekend at Lake Lure, and mostly bought the place out. Our unique request was to hold the ceremony on the terrace, reception in the dining room and dinner in the lobby. Our designer, Carmela Occasions & Creations transformed the hotel to our own personal wonderland. My brother built a moon gate inspired by Bermuda and it was all stunning. The team at the hotel are hospitality professionals, well experienced and able to deliver a beautiful wedding. I'm a group sales manager at a 4 star resort and this team did exceptional in my option. This hotel is a jewel in the mountains. We finished our weekend with our friends and family enjoying the Sunday brunch before leaving. I don't recommend the spa for wedding hair and would recommend going to a salon as I felt a bit rushed as the bride as my vision was not understood and met with frustration. Overall, we loved the weekend. A quick run down of our weekend: Thurs: casual meet and greet in the bar. Friday: welcome smores by the pool Saturday: Wedding and party Sunday: Farewell brunch ... all the best in your wedding planning!

Perfect perfect perfect - We had our elopement ceremony on the 2nd floor staircase in front of the stained glass windows - pictures in the lobby - and the staff and event coordinator made it all happen - perfectly during a pandemic. They made the music, food and arrangement for seating happen at 11 am on a Saturday!!! It was like we were the only guests there they were so focused on our ceremony and celebrating. Can’t wait to go back for our 1st year anniversary!!!!

We loved having our ceremony and reception at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and can't recommend it enough!! We fell in love with the beautiful and romantic setting as soon as we arrived for our first site visit. We live in NYC and have family and friends spread out across the Midwest and East Coast, and for several reasons decided to have a "destination" wedding. We wanted to find somewhere all of our guests could stay and have a fun and relaxing weekend getaway without totally breaking the bank. This fit the bill (literally and figuratively) and the actual event turned out even better than we could have ever dreamed. Patrick gave us our first tour and became our main point of contact throughout the entire process. Thank goodness for Patrick - I can't say enough good things about him!! He was such a joy to work with throughout -- especially considering we were dealing with all of the unknowns around covid. Our original date was in May and we moved it to August - even then we were very uncertain whether we would be able to have the wedding until a few weeks before. Once we decided to move forward our guest list went from 120 people to 40 people. Patrick was so helpful and flexible throughout, which reduced the stress and worry! While we are talking about Patrick, I should also mention that all of our guests and vendors raved about him. From coordinating with our vendors to making sure our guests were happy with their rooms, Patrick was on it! I could go on, but the bottom line is from food and accommodations, to the staff and setting, everything was perfect for us and our guests. We can't wait to return and celebrate anniversaries!

Looking for a wedding venue is by far one of the most stressful aspects of planning a wedding and we toured several before we finally decided to visit the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa. From the moment we walked in the door, we knew we had discovered something special. After taking a tour of the Inn we sat down with Patrick to go through how we envisioned our big day. Patrick put together a detailed proposal outlining everything for us and then arranged for us to come back a week later to tour Haynes Hill Estate. We had absolutely no idea how breath taking this spot was. Nestled in the trees looking over the Inn and Lake Lure with a view all the way up the gorge we had found our dream ceremony location. Patrick was by our side throughout the entire planning process and ensured every detail was perfect. He’s like a magician - you say his name or even think about him and he appears, usually with the perfect solution, and always with a little hop and big smile! Patrick, Alyssa, Aaron, Margaret (who also made our delicious wedding cake) and their team are without a doubt one of the most talented in the business. The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful, the staff was friendly and welcoming; even the owners of the Inn & Estate stepped in to assist on our wedding day when a random afternoon shower required us to move all our guests up to their patio until the rain passed. They were out there with the rest of the team wiping down seats and getting things cleaned up so we could proceed with our ceremony. We could not have asked for more from this team and could not imagine a more perfect day! Thank you to our new Lake Lure family, we can’t wait to visit with you again soon!

I held my wedding here in a November 2019. The day of the wedding went well (some minor hiccups with things like rude staff at check-in desk that refuses to direct our guests to the ceremony site, bartenders being unfriendly, etc. - but nothing that would truly impact the day) The next day we hold a brunch for the guests and everyone heads home. My husband and I board our flight for the honeymoon that evening and while we are in flight we get an email from one of the venue coordinators stating that some accounting errors were made on their side and we now owe an additional balance of almost $2,000! This is after we had already paid our “final balance.” My credit card is immediately charged after he sends the email (while I’m in flight on way to my honeymoon) with no phone call explanation as to what happened. We continue to attempt to contact Lake Lure and none of the event staff will return our calls or emails (we called almost daily for a month and our calls/voicemails were ignored). This was extremely frustrating because all we wanted was an explanation as to what happened and why this extra charge wasn’t discussed or included at the beginning of us establishing a contract months earlier. To top it off - some of our guests got charged for eating dinner at the wedding!!! Overall, I would NEVER recommend this venue - even for the most low-key bride - unless you want a bunch of unexpected surprises.

The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa is magical! We visited 15 venues across western North Carolina when we first starting wedding planning, and the Lake Lure Inn has something other venues do not - charm. All the antiques and music boxes in the inn make the place feel so unique. There are stunning views of the mountains and lake from the hotel rooms, the veranda for cocktail hour/brunch, and the ceremony site in the meadows. We loved how our wedding guests could stay at the inn, the lake/park is within walking distance, restaurants and downtown Chimney Rock is nearby, I could go on & on - there is so much to do in the area! Patrick managed our event at the inn and made sure that everything went perfectly! He did such a great job and we are so thankful for everything he did to make sure our big day went smoothly - all the meetings, e-mails, and little details! He really cared about making sure we were happy on our wedding day. Everything was absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend this wedding venue/hotel!!!

Patrick and all of the staff at the Inn are amazing. I loved working with Patrick and knew from the first time we met that he need my vision for my wedding day. I trusted Patrick fully and he did not disappoint on my wedding day. My ceremony was moved indoors due to rain and he helped make it just as special. I‘d recommend this venue/Patrick to any couple!

The Lake Lure Inn was a picturesque venue and suited my husband and I perfectly! His family has lots of history and Lake Lure and it's also where we fell in love in the summers and got engaged in 2018! The reception, ceremony gazebo space, options for food, and special touches made for a great day. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is a couple of our requests were not correct the day of the wedding. We had asked for a specific table set up in the garden that had to get changed at the last minute because it had not been set up according to our latest layout. Also our vegetarian option (the only thing I could eat) was incorrect. I had specifically asked for eggplant parmesan, fettuccine alfredo, and sliced chicken on the side for meat eaters. The day of apparently the chef decided to make an entirely different vegetarian dish and we had no eggplant parmesan and no pasta. They were minor details but were specific things that we asked for that simply got ignored. Other than that, id definitely recommend this venue to future brides and grooms!

The Lake Lure Inn is one of my favorite places to visit! It is beautiful, the staff is very kind, and the atmosphere is so elegant. We love it so much that we decided to get married there and we had the best experience! The Lake Lure Inn has so much on site making it very convenient for a busy bride/groom. They provide a list of reccomend vendors, which we used, and had an amazing experience with all of them. Their food is so tasty and we loved the huge selection they had to offer. Patrick, Alyssa, and their staff are beyond awesome and will treat you like GOLD! I enjoyed working with them to make our dream come true and plan on visiting often. Thank you Patrick and Allyssa for all you did and for taking such good care of us. You helped to make our special day complete!

This was one of the last venues we looked at to have our wedding. We knew immediately the lake lure inn was the perfect place! We were able to get to know Allyssa, Patrick, and Aaron throughout all the planning and prepping. They all were personable, professional, and knowledgable. We got married in the gardens area and had the reception in the Roosevelt hall. It was perfect for our smaller wedding! The only tip I can give is to try and ensure you are the only wedding that day. We were one of 2 weddings that day, both around the same time. It made it more confusing for the guests when they first arrived and where to go after the ceremony. Other than that, it was perfect!

So happy we decided to go with the lake lure inn and spa. We had our wedding at the Lake Side gazebo and it was absolutely beautiful. Allyssa was exceptional and made us feel comfortable through the entire process. It even rained on our wedding day and she still made sure things ran smoothly . She was always reachable and always emailed us back very timely. Mostly everything is included within their package, except for the photographer and DJ, which also helped make the process very easy. We would certainly recommend this venue to anyone that asked and want to again thank you Allyssa- you helped us make a day we will never forget!

The incredible staff at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa could not have been more professional and accommodating. Our event coordinator (Patrick) took care of every little detail to ensure our big day was everything we imagined. My wife and I chose this venue because of the many services they offer to guests. The food is expertly prepared in-house while still offering a broad selection of dishes to choose from. The gazebo venue option is among the most beautiful locations in the south with the capacity for larger crowds. The staff at the Inn took care of all set up and take down of their own chairs, linens, tables and tableware so we could enjoy ourselves more and was much appreciated. I don’t think any amount of money could make our wedding day any more special than it was. A huge thank you to Patrick and his team at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa. Well done!

Great experience. We're very satisfied with the service we received during our wedding. Allyssa was exceptional. She made sure every detail was covered all throughout and in a timely manner. She was always reachable and willing to accommodate any special needs or requests. Mostly everything is included within their package, except for the photographer, officiant, and decorator, for which they have good recommendations. They have plenty of packages to choose from. Prices are very reasonable.

My husband and I got married in March 2019 at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa. Allyssa Dixon was our event manager, and she was a complete rock star! She ensured everything went so smoothly, and she even accommodated all of our random and special requests. The spa made us beautiful, the food was delicious, the mountain and lake views are breathtaking, and the venue is absolutely gorgeous and has such character and charm! Our wedding was truly a dream come true thanks to all the hard work and dedication of the staff and vendors. We have nothing but great things to say, and we will definitely be back for years to come!

We were so happy to have chosen this venue. Everyone was friendly, courteous, and eager to make our special day run as smooth as possible. Everything we asked for was accommodated, and our guests raved about the location, the service, the food, the cake, everything. Even though they had multiple other weddings that weekend (I picked the busiest time of the year), it felt as though we were the only group there. The weekend was exactly what we envisioned. Could not recommend them more highly.

My wife and I went with the Lake Lure Inn for our wedding venue. I have never been so impressed with the beauty, stunning, amazing, and impressive atmosphere at the Inn. While booking, we arrive at the Lake Lure Inn and saw the beautiful venue, that not only was charming, but had a rich historical atmosphere as well. We were greeted immediately, followed by a staff that was eager to help in anyway possible. We were given a tour of the hotel, and all the other spots they rent for the ceremony. The initial visit was so impressive, we booked right away. The Inn wedding councilors were not pushy, and laid out packets which included EVERYTHING! That is one reason why we chose The Lake Lure Inn. Aside from flowers (which indulged in the elegance of the Inn, but were not even needed!), photographer, and cake, the Inn is equipped with everything you need. After our initial visit we booked, ane returned again after deciding on what we wanted, and were greeted with the same hospitality. It was truly as if the staff, were there not only to book your wedding, but to be as friendly as possible. We stayed in contact throughout the entire year, from booking to our big day. Even if it was late at night, our wedding planner from the Inn would answer our questions, which shows such a desire to help us. I honestly would rate the staff as being more professional, helpful, and nicer then that of chick-fil-a!!! The only thing other than cake, flowers, and photographer, that we needed for the venue was just a few decorations (that was not even needed). I was impressed by the set up of every spot, and the willingness to help by every Inn employee. They even took the time to help outside vendors to ensure nothing was wrong the day of our wedding. Not only was our wedding day a breeze, it was enjoyable because of the Inn staff. I can not speak highly enough of this venue and especially the Staff. I felt as if we didn’t do enough for them! The pictures were amazing because of the spot! People still even talk about how amazing the foot at our reciption was, which was prepared hot by the Inn. Everything food related, that the Inn does is wonderful. I wish I could rate this venue 10 out of 5 honestly. My wife and I booked with Patrick, who made us feel that we are now a part of the history at the Inn. Anything we needed, while setting up Patrick would ask and honestly be back with it in the blink of an eye. It was if he was on call and by our side the entire weekend. We were not worried about a thing, knowing Patrick was our planner and there with us. Patrick Bryant was honestly one of the biggest efforts of help during our wedding. He had everything we had planned, schedules, and list that he helped manage as well. I loved our wedding at the Lake Lure Inn, and it was unforgettable. The comments by our guest, the pictures, and the fun at our wedding was unbelievable. Our guest enjoyed every part of it, and still talk about it. It truly is an amazing place and we loved every part of our wedding at the Lake Lure Inn. I would book here every time and be a part of history, at such an amazing place.

I do not know where to start. My wife and I were married at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn about a week and a half ago. I should start at the beginning. Allyssa is amazing! We couldn't have asked for anyone better! She was always available to answer any question we had. Our guest count literally doubled and she handled it like it was no big deal. She was a lot of fun during our tasting and planning session and was also very knowledgeable about what would be good for our wedding. Now the wedding itself was amazing! Every single person on the staff was incredibly nice, mind blowing nice! They were always there to help and always kept my drink full! They helped us with whatever setting up we had and requests on the day of the wedding. The hotel itself is really great and only adds to however you decide to decorate. The rooms are also clean and nicely decorated. All of our guests that stayed the night loved it! We couldn't have asked for one single thing different or better. Everything was absolutely perfect!

We are SO happy we had our wedding weekend at the Lake Lure Inn. All of the staff were truly top-notch but Allyssa and Patrick deserve huge shoutouts for their attention to detail and exceptional customer service. We worked with Allyssa a ton leading up to the big day and were able to really customize our wedding to be exactly how we wanted, not based on a set package... and the event team did everything to make it such a perfect experience!! Our Friday night welcome bonfire got rained out, but the Inn had an awesome backup plan indoors that had our friends surrounding a delicious chocolate fountain and dancing the night away instead! We had a larger wedding (130) for the venue and they were super accommodating about holding nearly every room in our room block for over a year too - and it was so much fun to have all of our guests in one place all weekend long! The wedding food was sooo good and we got a lot of compliments on that too!! We can't wait to come back for anniversaries and future celebrations. THANK YOU, Allyssa and Lake Lure team!!

My beautiful wife and I had our first date at Lake Lure 27 years ago and we recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows at the lake Lure Inn. The staff, food and atmosphere were incredible and made our special day even more special thanks to their amazing attention to detail and service. I cannot express how fantastic the entire experience was from the planning to the actual event. If you have a special day to celebrate then look no farther, the Lake Lure Inn can certainly make your day a memorable experience.

The staff was exceptional during the ceremony and the reception! Allyssa was a huge help the entire time!! The only issue I ever had with the inn was checking out when I was overcharged for an extra day, however it was resolved quickly

If you are thinking about having your wedding at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa, do it. I highly recommend. My Sweetheart and I were married June 9 of this year and I've been trying to write this review ever since. I just don't have the words to express how wonderful everything was-- all thanks to Allyssa, the events manager, and the entire wonderful staff at the Inn. Allyssa and I emailed back and forth for months before we ever actually met and she is very responsive and efficient. Once I met her in person, I added personable to that list. Planning a wedding is a lot of work and a lot of stress. I don't know how Allyssa does it, but she somehow manages to seem easy going when I know she is working her tail off. She was there for me anytime I had questions, needed guidance, needed reassurance, needed to vent, etc. I can't imagine how many brides she is working with to create each one's perfect event-- let alone the counselling we need!-- but she always made me feel like I was the only one. We started the weekend with a small rehearsal dinner by the lake followed by a bonfire with s'mores open to all who made a weekend out of the affair. Right away, Vinny, one of the bartenders, greeted me with a Miller Lite (my drink of choice)-- good prep work Allyssa! This set the tone for the entire weekend. I know there were so many parts in motion, but this crew knows their business and works together to make it seamless. When Allyssa found out my BFFs were going to surprise me with a shower the morning of the wedding, she miraculously intercepted about 20 women from crashing our cabin and opened up Founder's Hall for us. (Seriously, thank you Allyssa!) The ceremony was at the park around the corner with the gazebo and the trolley shuttled everyone back and forth in style. Anything we wanted, they made it happen. My hair and make-up plan fell through at the last minute and Britney at Irongate Spa was at the ready and fantastic. Seriously-- Britney used some industrial strength make-up that withstood the heat, tears and lots of sweat. It aint pretty, but I'm a head and face sweat-er and by the end of the night (and boy howdy I stretched it out), my make-up had only faded around the edges of my hairline. Britney, what is that stuff?!? We hit The Moose and Goose both Friday and Saturday nights-- our friends were very impressed by their bourbon selection! The food was delicious-- I wish I could have that pecan fried chicken on a regular basis! Our Morkie dog was the only member of the wedding party and he ruled over the reception like a boss. Photo op on the piano? No problem! We had a band on the veranda and danced, danced, danced. And here's Vinny again, arm outstretched with Miller Lite! Sunday, many of us stayed for the brunch-- I'll be daggoned, there's Vinny again, this time as a server. He was just the person I bonded with (a constant stream of Miller Lite has that effect), but we saw the same faces working hard every day and they even made it look like they were having fun! I chose to have my wedding at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa sight unseen. I had never even been to Lake Lure! I live in Charleston, SC and it has become a wedding destination for brides all over the world. I get it, it is beautiful in Charleston, but I could not figure out a way to have the kind of wedding I wanted at a price we could afford to pay for the wedding or that my guests could afford to come for the weekend. I had the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa on a list I keep for trip ideas and when my ideas for Charleston ran dry, I consulted this list. My favorite weddings are destination weddings where all the guests are in the same space for a period of time and they get to know each other whether they want to or not! In the end, this is exactly what I got. Because the Inn was able to host the rehearsal dinner, after party gatherings at The Moose and Goose, spa on site, restaurant on site, it was a constant interaction with my guests and it was perfect. All of our friends and family really had a great time and I think all will remember it as a wonderful, fun event full of love. It was perfect and exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa!

Lake Lure Inn and Spa was a dream come true! It's been four months since our wedding and our guests are still talking about it! The staff was incredibly friendly and cared about us and our guests. It was a beautiful place for our wedding. The view was breath taking everywhere. It's a wonderful little cove completely surrounded by mountains. I'd reccomend it to everyone! They were great with our budget too! And they let us completely customize our experience there.

My husband and I got married at 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa on May 5th of this year. We were able to work with Allyssa, who was wonderful and helpful throughout the entire process of planning our wedding there. We started planning a year out. Allyssa helped to walk us through a timeline of when we would need to do food tastings, room blocks, everything. When the big weekend came, as soon as we arrived, we were greated by friendly and helpful staff. They made our fur baby feel just as welcome and at home as they did our guests and ourselves. Everything was ready, waiting, and perfect. The staff at Lake Lure helped us to have a relaxing and worry free weekend. We felt right at home! The rooms were great, the food was AMAZING, and the views were breathtaking. We highly recommend the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa!

We decided on The Lake Lure Inn & Spa for our wedding after the first visit there with the wedding coordinator. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the package we got was the best price we had come across for all that is included. They kept in contact will us the whole time and we quick to answer any questions we had. I honestly can't even begin to give the whole staff of The Lake Lure Inn & Spa enough credit for all they did during not just the whole planning process but during the ceremony, reception and the whole weekend we stayed. They went above and beyond to make sure any needs we had were accomodated. The Inns Ambassador Patrick was hands on the entire time and was absolutely amazing in seeing to everyone's needs. The whole entire staff was, so much so that our guests noticed and were highly impressed with the service provided. We literally didn't have to worry about one thing. They made the whole process as easy and less stressful as possible. We will definitely be back just to visit all the people who made our day wonderful!! I would recommend planning any event there!!

My wife and I have just had a wedding at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn on New Year's Eve. We visited dozen of venues, but no one is near close to what Leigh Vayo, a wedding coordinator at the Inn can do. She is the nicest person you can work with and she makes every possible worry or concern you have disappear and make magical wedding happen!! She made New Year's Eve bon fire happen after the ceremony and reception with smores, hot cider and bar. Everyone at the wedding said it was one of the best and most fun wedding they have been to! Leigh worked so flexible with our groomsmen, bridesmaids and guests. If you are looking for a wedding venue, just talk with or meet up with Leigh and your searching the "perfect venue" will be over!

My husband and I got married at the Lake Lure Inn and Spa on September 16, 2017. The Lake Lure Inn couldn't have been a more perfect venue for us! The quality of service, attention to detail, and hospitality was everything a bride could ask for. We had the wonderful Allyssa as our coordinator at the Inn - she was brilliant! She worked hand in hand with our Wedding Planner to make sure no detail was overlooked! We held our Rehearsal Dinner at the Pavilion, wedding ceremony at the Gazebo & reception in the Dining Room & Veranda. Everything was beautiful! We keep hearing rave reviews on how our wedding was beautiful and the food was AMAZING! We would highly recommend this venue!

We researched several WNC wedding venues and only had to visit one. Upon meeting Leigh Vayo, we knew. We knew we were in good hands and would be well taken care of by the Inn. All of the staff greeted us with such kindness time and again.....the Front Desk at all hours, the Bartenders at all hours, Maintenance when we had a dead car battery, the Servers no matter how many guests, the Trolley Driver on time, every time and Housekeeping for any and every need. The staff at the Inn truly went above and beyond repeatedly for us and our guests. Leigh maintained excellent communication with us from day one to the day of and days after. We could not be more pleased and absolutely feel our money was very well spent. We will be back again and again for long weekends and to celebrate anniversaries!

My husband and I were just married at Lake Lure Inn and I couldn't have been happier. From our first meeting and tour with Leigh, we were very excited and felt comfortable with not only the venue but the entire staff we would be working with. They give you the contract up front as well as ample time to ask questions before signing. My wedding coordinator Allyssa was great, for the next 10 months, she kept in touch in a non-pressuring manner, answered my questions in a timely fashion (even the silly ones), and made good recommendations when I simply needed someone's opinion. I am not local to Lake Lure, so I depended strongly on her advice and I'm so glad I did so. When it came time for our actual wedding weekend, the entire hotel staff (not just Allyssa and Leigh) were accommodating and pleasant. One of the best things about this venue is that on the day of, there is a trolley that takes you and your guests from the hotel over to gazebo on the lake which is where our ceremony is, and then takes everyone back again. Then you have the reception right there and then your guests just have to walk back to their rooms so no one has to worry about driving. If you weren't ready to go to bed just yet, while the reception ended around 10 PM, the Moose and Goose Lounge served as an excellent after hours spot until bed time was inevitable. I think the second best thing was both the gazebo for the ceremony and the hotel for the reception was beautiful as is, and didn't need further decorations. Another great thing about the Lake Lure Inn and really the town of Lake Lure/Chimney Rock, is that since many of our guests were coming in from quite a distance it was quite simple to help turn it into a destination weekend for most folks. The hotel staff helped arrange boat tours/golf outings and there was so much to do in the area such as Chimney Rock state park, miniature golf, and local restaurants/shops. Since this my only experience planning a wedding, I can't really compare it to another, however I can speak to how easy the ladies at the Inn made it for me to plan and coordinate the wedding (I did have a day of wedding planner that was absolutely fantastic and in my opinion absolutely essential), helped me make exciting to look forward to and then when it was actually happening, I don't think there was a single mishap and my guests are still telling me what fun they had.

Best decision ever. This venue was absolutely perfect. Leigh was our wedding coordinator and she was wonderful to work with. The hotel is beautiful and accommodating for all our out of town guest. Margaret is the best bartender ever serving everyone with humor and whit. This place made having our dream wedding easy.

My husband and I were recently married at 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa on Sept 3, 2017. I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the staff. From the first tour we received until after checkout from the wedding weekend, we were thoroughly impressed with the prompt communication, willingness to help, and overall attention to detail the Inn was able to provide. This was strongly due to the fantastic work of our venue coordinator, Leigh Vayo. If you have the opportunity to work with her for your wedding, you will be very lucky. She is so incredibly kind and no detail is too small, nor any question an imposition. Since we were planning a destination wedding, a lot of the footwork had to be done via email and phone conversations and she was with us every step of the way. Even on the eve of our wedding, as I was rushing around attending to family, I could trust her with any last minute changes and have no doubt that everything would be taken care of with the utmost attention. After the wedding I can not count how many times my guests commended the Inn's staff as being friendly and courteous and how much they loved all the Inn's decor. They also did an amazing job with the food. We had the Inn cater both the rehearsal dinner and reception and everything tasted absolutely amazing! Everyone was very satisfied with their meals and the Inn was even able to provide snacks for our after reception party. Overall, our wedding was an amazing experience and we would do it a million times again at 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa. Thank you so much Leigh!!!!!!!

My husband and I just had our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony/reception at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa and couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. Throughout the planning and execution of our event, we worked with Leigh Vayo, who is by far one of the sweetest, most thoughtful people I have ever met. Leigh was always quick to respond to any of our questions and went above and beyond to accommodate our two flower puppies, families, guests, and other vendors. We had a bonfire on the beach for our rehearsal dinner and it was exactly the kind of relaxed event we were hoping for. Our wedding ceremony the following day was at the Morse Park Gazebo with our reception in the lobby, Tanner Dining Room, Veranda, and poolside. Leigh and the team at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa handled EVERYTHING! They brought our wedding parties brunch while we were hanging out and getting ready, they greeted each of our vendors and assisted them any way they could, they handled all set up and break down of our wedding, they coordinated each event with our wedding planner, and the food was out of this world amazing! The list could go on and on! Needless to say, we love Leigh and The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa and our wedding was perfect - and their team and the stunning location was such a big part of that!

The Lake Lure Inn and Spa was absolutely the perfect site for our May 28, 2017 wedding. Everything was perfect and it truly was because of the Inn's accommodations and staff. First of all, Leigh Vayo was our on-site coordinator and she was incredible from beginning to end. Especially in the few weeks before the wedding, she was so detail-oriented and responsive. I believe these details are the reason that everything went so well. On the actual wedding weekend, I never saw her sit down! She is so hardworking and genuinely wanted everything to be perfect for us. She is incredibly kind and a joy to work with. We used the Inn for basically everything! On our first day, we did our rehearsal in Roosevelt Hall, rehearsal dinner in the new Fitzgerald's restaurant space, and then ended with a very fun bonfire on the beach. Then, on the day of the wedding, we got ready in Johnny's cabin and the Inn arranged food to be delivered for us. We then took first look pictures around the pool before getting in the convenient and cute trolley to head to the ceremony. The ceremony was in Morse Park facing Chimney Rock (not under the Gazebo, too tough to decorate!). The weather held out and the location was perfect. We then headed back for the reception! We decided to be announced and do all dances/speeches on the far side of the pool. It was just perfect. All of our friends and family had enjoyed appetizers and drink by this point, and there were many vantage points for the dances/speeches. After this, it was dinner time! We did the buffet and everyone loved the food. Then the dance floor opened on the Veranda after a few tables were taken away - so much fun! People could enjoy dancing or hang out around the pool area on the low or high top tables. It was all so perfect. Thank you Leigh and all of the LLI staff for making our dream wedding a reality. We highly recommend this venue!

The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa was our chosen wedding ceremony and reception venue from the moment we stepped in it for our tour. My (now) husband and I grew up going to Lake Lure and the area, but had never stepped in this gem. We actually had looked at a few venues and thought we had found "the one," until we had a feeling that the real one was still out there. Stumbling across the fact that the Inn hosts weddings, we made a tour and from then on, the rest is history. We worked with Leigh, Allyssa and Patrick, all coordinators of weddings and events at the Inn to bring our wedding needs, wants and wishes to life. They were all incredibly attentive and helpful during the entire process which at times, is incredibly stressful, but only to the newlyweds to be. They are experienced and professional and handle all your needs with ease. Allyssa in particular was our coordinator and was easily reached via phone or email for my many questions and plan details. The wedding day and weekend left us absolutely blown away by their work to ensure us an amazing wedding. That is when you see the true heart of the entire staff there. Every single person of the Inn was so kind and helpful. Before even knowing I was a bride, as I'm just walking in and around with normal things on, not yet attached to any coordinators, I always received superior treatment. My family and wedding party and guests commented the entire time how nice everyone was. To have a setting as beautiful as the Inn and the gazebo and veranda and poolside for your wedding makes you especially lucky, but to add to that, people who make your big day easy and even better than the scenery, is a blessing. This review is entirely true. My husband and I talked that entire wedding weekend and days after about how great they were. We appreciate having them be so good to us, it meant a lot!

Do not book this place!! My fiancé and I fell in love with the Inn and how caring and family oriented it appeared. We immediately secured it as our wedding venue. But then our father became terminally ill 6 months before the wedding forcing us to cancel due to his cancer. Obviously we could not plan for this. We notified the Inn who then reminded us the contract stated we would have to pay $7,000 to cancel. They said the costs was partly for future food and drink purchases which were 6 months away. We understood not getting our down deposit but to be charged extra for future food purchases when our reason for canceling was a family illness proved to us they were callous and not the family orientated venue we originally mistook them for. We tried to reason with them to do what is morally right but they repeatedly informed us it is strictly business. In the end we received the additional bill which we are left with no other option but to pay and I am writing this review to spare future brides and families an experience such as mine.

My husband and I got married at Lake Lure Inn in July, 2016. We absolutely loved our experience at the Inn. We had our wedding ceremony at the gazebo and the views were gorgeous! We also had our reception at the Inn. We used the Terrace location, and the dining room. Everyone was very accommodating and helpful! Allyssa Dixon was our wedding coordinator and she was extremely helpful! Being out of town, it was nice to be able to reach out to Allyssa and she was always there to help! She was also helpful in picking places for music, the cake, and the florist, considering I was out of town! I loved this venue and it was absolutely perfect!!

Everything about our wedding weekend was fantastic. The venue is beautiful, the staff are friendly and the food is terrific. We hosted three events for our wedding guests and every one was perfect. On Friday we were supposed to have an outdoor meal and bonfire but the rain kept us in. The Inn accommodated us in Roosevelt hall and set up and indoor smoores bar. It worked out great! On Saturday we had our ceremony at the gazebo. The trolley ride to and from the site was great and the inn set up flavored water at the site for our guests which was a nice touch. Everything about our reception was perfect and as I had visioned it. The credit goes to our events coordinator Allyssa and her staff. They were so great to work with. On Sunday we treatedour guests to the inns Sunday brunch. Allyssa set our group up with some large tables on the veranda which was perfect for us to see them all off. Everything was perfect all weekend and we cannot thank the inn enough. We can't wait to go back soon!

My fiancée and I planned this wedding in 4 months and Patrick from the Lake Lure Inn and Spa was with us every step of the way! He helped us plan our dream wedding, from the menu to the last candle lit, Patrick was there. No detail is forgotten with this staff, not to mention the venue is so beautiful and full of history! Such a fun weekend for our guests and family and a gorgeous backdrop for our best day yet!

BEST.DAY.EVER.! The venue is perfectlycharming and the staff is exceptional! Leigh V was our coordinator and she was a true treasure! Our weekend went off without a hitch. They even moved our bonfire on the beach inside with about 3 hrs notice due to rain. You would've thought it had been planned that way the whole time. Our every wish & whim was catered to and they made our wedding EVERYTHING we'd hoped it would be. I love The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and will always cherish how special they made us feel. We're going back for our 1st anniversary!

We had our wedding at the veranda/pool site at the Lake Lure Inn and it was absolutely amazing. Not only are the views amazing, but the Inn staff was amazing. Leigh was our events coordinator and made the planning so stress-free. She was very responsive to questions and so detail oriented. Words cannot describe how thankful we are that we had her there to help us during the planning stage and on the wedding day. She is truly a joy to work with! We were between two venues, the Inn being one of them. The other place did not offer an events coordinator. The friendliness and location that the Inn provided during our venue search were ultimately the reasons we picked the Inn. It is convenient for guests and the wedding party. It had everything we needed - the salon, the rooms, a separate room for the bride to get ready in, the catering (with GREAT food) and bar services. I would recommend the Inn to anyone, with no negative points to mention.

My husband and I decided to renew our wedding vows for our 25th wedding anniversary. On our original wedding day was a disaster and we had no clue what we were getting into when we took our vows. Twenty-five years and 3 children later we decided we deserved a "do over". On the recommendation of my best friend we checked out Lake Lure NC. After meeting with Leigh Vayo at the 1027 Lake Lure Inn and Spa we looked no further for our venue and help with our special day. Our vow renewal was a dream come true and utterly perfect. We chose to have a midmorning ceremony and reception in The Gardens with our closest friends and family, followed by a bon fire later that night. Every person that had a hand in our day was top notch, did their job to perfection, and gave us service above and beyond what we expected. I honestly felt that Leigh and her staff made it their personal mission to make sure this day was a day we would never forget. There was not one detail that went over looked. She anticipated and planned for everything and was always available when I needed anything. It was our goal to have a simple, beautiful ceremony with a casual family atmosphere and lots of laughter. The 1027 Lake Lure Inn and Spa provided much more than we could have hoped for!

Booking the Lake Lure Inn was truly one of the best choices we made. The venue itself is a historic building that retains its old charm. As a fan of historic architecture, they intrigued me early in my planning process to drive into the mountains and check out what they had to offer. When I arrived, I realized that not only did the building fit my taste, but their options for ceremony spaces were spectacular! We chose to get married at the gazebo in Morse Park. The background to our ceremony was granite-faced mountains and beautiful fall foliage against the lake. Leigh was our event coordinator and she made sure our experience at the Inn was everything we were hoping and more! She even gave us extras free of charge which every bride knows is almost unheard of with wedding vendors. When our wedding arrived, we realized we had forgotten a few things we needed to put our DIY stuff together. The Inn was eager to help! The even found us gardening shears when ours went missing! The venue was every bit as beautiful as we had hoped and we food was to quote our guests "the best wedding food we have ever had." My husband and I are huge fans of the Inn because of our experience and plan on spending every anniversary back at the Inn. If you're a bride with a smaller sized wedding, I am telling you to book this venue. You won't be disappointed!

Allyssa Dixon and the team at Lake Lure Inn truly gave us the wedding of our dreams. Our ceremony was held at the Lakeside Gazebo and the reception in the Tanner Dining Room/Poolside Terrace. We had approximately a year to plan and for that entire year Allyssa went above and beyond answering all my questions and ensuring everything was planning to perfection. People say something always goes wrong on your wedding day, well nothing went wrong on mine, and I think I owe that to Allyssa and staff for the amazing job they do there! Our guests are still talking about how perfect the weekend get-a-away was and we can’t wait to go back and reminiscence soon!

The Lake Lure Inn and Spa was a truly magical place for our wedding! Our ceremony was held at the gorgeous gazebo, and the reception was in the Tanner Dining Room/Poolside Terrace. Allyssa Dixon was our wedding coordinator - people always say something will wrong on your wedding day, but thanks to Allyssa and her team everything ran smoothly and our wedding was better than we ever could have dreamed! I would highly recommend this venue - my husband and I are already trying to figure out when we can come back :)

We couldn't have been more pleased with Lake Lure Inn and Spa. We worked with Paula who was extremely accommodating as was the entire staff. They were VERY helpful for a family member's needs related to her health needs for oxygen and other needs as well as some last minute room challenges we had. They just were truly amazing to work with throughout the entire experience and we couldn't have been happier.

The Inn looks beautiful in photos online, but on arrival it is clear that it was once a beautiful property...a long time ago. The owners that have had it for the past decade have clearly put a lot of work into reviving it, but it is in dire need of a massive renovation. There are beautiful parts of the inside of this Inn, but it has a lot to be desired externally. There is clearly an air of grandeur in the building, but it's very tired and needs a huge facelift.

We had two wonderful, family filled nights at the Inn. We did a bonfire and dinner on Thursday night and our wedding and reception on Friday. The bonfire was perfect as most of our guests were coming in from out of town and this allowed everyone to interact and get comfortable with everyone before the reception. The weather was perfect, the food delicious, and the open bar is always a hit! We had about 45 people there and loved every minute of it. On Friday we had our ceremony scheduled for the Gardens area, but unfortunately it rained so we moved with the covered patio, and couldn't have asked for a better spot. Our first look also got moved from the iron gate to the Moose and Goose Lounge and it was perfect because we may have indulged a little bit there over the weekend. After the ceremony we moved to Roosevelt Hall for our reception, which was a blast! We had about 60 people and the space was just right, intimate without being right on top of each other. Our wedding coordinator Patrick was amazing, I could never thank him enough for all he did for us and our guests. He was there every step of the way from tastings, to my nitty-gritty details. He was even running beverages from the cooler to our reception when they were running low. He also hoarded my favorite beverages for me during the night since there was only a select few available. He was there through it all with us, and I could not recommend him enough to anyone who wants to get married here. And overall, the staff was amazing. So nice and my guests didn't have one negative thing to say, and they're quite opinionated. Another plus, our families, being from upstate NY, found things to do that interested them around the Inn. People took boat tours, rented pontoon boats, went to the beach, hiked, explored Asheville, etc. That made it a weekend getaway for everyone so they didn't have to just come for the day. We now live in Charlotte, and going out to the Inn felt like we were driving to the Adirondack Mountains like we use to do as kids. It's as close of a feeling of being "home" for our wedding as we could have gotten without driving the 11 hours.

We stumbled across an amazing "off season" wedding package for the Veranda, Pool, & Terrace. This relaxing & beautiful indoor/outdoor environment was the perfect combination for our wedding weekend! The ease of having our ceremony and reception in the same area really allowed us to relax and soak in our wedding day. We also loved being able to hang out afterwards at the Moose & Goose Bar without having to worry about anybody driving. The bridal suite was the perfect space for us to have for a home base for the weekend for decorations and day of preparations! Allyssa Dixon was our event coordinator and she and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to meet our needs! We choose the Heavy Hos d'oeuvres menu and we were surprised by the ability to customize the menu options to create a well rounded meal that people raved about! With our bar option we were able to request some of our favorite beers- Sweetwater 420 & Bells Two Hearted! Overall our total wedding costs were a deal compared to what some of our close friends have spent and it came with so much beauty and elegance! We can't wait to return to the Inn for a romantic weekend or anniversary!

We cannot stop talking about how perfect our wedding weekend was at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa. The location is absolutely breathtaking, especially in the fall for our October wedding. The staff was unbelievable, even members who had not worked with us directly were able to welcome us by name. Wedding Coordinator Allyssa Dixon worked closely with us for nearly a year to make sure that every single detail was taken care of! She and the entire staff are incredibly talented and made our families feel truly special, from the time we chose our venue til the time that we left after the wedding weekend was over. From the beautiful rehearsal dinner, to the welcome bonfire on the beach, a perfect ceremony at the gazebo, a trolly ride back to the Inn, and an incredible party during the reception: our wedding was everything we could have dreamed. The Inn will always be a place for my husband and I to return in order to relive our wedding memories. Thank you, the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa!!

Lake Lure Inn and Spa was the perfect place for our wedding. The beautiful mountains and lake were the perfect touch, as well as fun for our guests. The staff at Lake Lure Inn and Spa were fantastic with assisting with any details, and made my husband and I feel like king and queen for our entire stay. I could not imagine having to plan and coordinate a wedding without the help of the staff, who was there every step of the way. I recommend this venue to anyone who is searching for an above average venue, on a budget. We enjoyed our stay so much that we plan on going back every year, for our anniversary.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Lake Lure Inn & Spa in March. Allyssa was our wedding coordinator and she was just amazing. Everyone at the Inn (All Staff) was so kind and so friendly. They made you feel like you were part of a family. The venue itself is so quaint and historic. Very warm and cozy. The food was phenomenal. I would highly recommended the Inn. My family and I plan to have a family reunion there sometime in the next year. It was just wonderful. My husband and I will definitely plan to spend anniversaries there too!

I had a great time coordinating with my event planner (Paula) who helped with last minute arrangements as the weather was not favorable! The entire staff has a sense of enthusiasm about the part they play in the big day. I was overwhelmed by the hardworking front desk workers, the banquet set up crew (Mr. Byrd and Shane), and the pleasantness of our servers during the reception! The event planning group knows their stuff and can work with just about any idea you have! They are very prepared for any style of occasion! One of my best memories of the wedding weekend will be my family and "in-laws" gathering in the lobby until the late hours of the night! The area is just so welcoming and the bar keeps the party going as long as you'd like! We had such an incredible time! My parents (who paid for the majority of the wedding) said they would do it all over again in a heartbeat, that's how incredible the experience was!

So much history! Beautiful scenery and wonderful people!!

What a gorgeous, amazing place to get married! I can't say enough about the service, staff, food, and venue! Couldn't ask for much more. I was able to relax and enjoy my day, thanks to Paula Benson, and the wonderful staff....despite the rain out of our planned gazebo ceremony - everything went off without a hitch, and was perfect! Highly recommend The Lake Lure Inn & Spa!

I knew I wanted to get married at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa before my husband even proposed. Once he finally did pop the question, this was the one and only venue we visited before booking and setting the date, and boy am I glad we did. They were absolutely fantastic to work with throughout the planning process, and our coordinator Paula was truly an Angel the day of the wedding. Our wedding day was nothing like we expected it to turn out. After being stuck in a hospital in Ireland, my mother's plane was delayed the day of our wedding to the point she would miss the ceremony by a couple hours. Paula and I were able to rearrange the day to have cocktail hour and dinner before the ceremony (highly recommended to future brides, we actually got to eat!) which allowed my mother time to arrive and get ready. Once all was discussed, I no longer had to worry about anything. Paula handled talking to all vendors about the time change, all my guests were informed of the changes, and I was simply able to sit back and enjoy my day. The day went off better than I could have ever imagined! The Inn went above and beyond our expectations, and Paula will always have a special place in our heart (ask for her, she is amazing!)
