Rustic Elegance in The Great Smoky Mountains
Rustic Elegance in The Great Smoky MountainsLaurel Ridge is a country club in Waynesville, NC that provides the ultimate backdrop for your wedding day. It is a picturesque, rustic and historic venue. Prior to the American Revolution, Edward Hyatt and his family came to settle down in Laurel Ridge. In the 1800’s, Hyatt’s great grandson, Jefferson D. Hyatt built the Piedmont Inn. The Inn quickly became a center of social gatherings and a vacationing spot for flatlanders. Today, the clubhouse occupies the mound upon which the Inn was, continuing the tradition of fun-filled family activities and delectable dining. The venue has found itself firmly entrenched in the history of southern hospitality. Laurel Ridge offers a multitude of outdoor and indoor spaces for the couple to choose from. Inside are spaces like the Grand Rustic Lodge and Amber’s Arbor that are so incredible that you and your guests will be left speechless. Incredible architecture, chandeliers, and breathtaking views make them stand out from the rest. With a capacity of up to 300 guests (between renting both the Pavilion and Grand Rustic Lodge), you can host a grand celebration. You can also exchange vows in the open air since the venue is licensed for civil ceremonies. Opportunities for photos are endless on their grounds since it is a venue nestled amidst nature. Post festivities, you and your guests can avail the spacious accommodations to relax. There is a dedicated in-house events and culinary team at Laurel Ridge Country Club who will combine their experience with your vision to create the wedding of your dreams. The culinary team can also customize a menu that suits your tastes and dietary needs.
