Nestled in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains of Bryson City, NC, Nantahala Village is the ideal North Carolina destination wedding location. Nantahala means “land of the noonday sun.” It is the name given long ago to this corner of the Smokys by the Cherokee as they trekked through these mountains. Over 65 years after Nantahala Village was created, this beautiful property continues to take away the breaths of all who visit and will be the perfect setting to host your dream wedding. Nantahala Village boasts scenic paths and stone walkways lined on either side by tall billowing trees and shrubbery.
