Wedding Date Outlook for 2012-2013

Now is the time to reserve the Inn for your special day!

Planning ahead will ensure the Inn is available on the date you prefer. Once your date is reserved we try to stress a slow and stressless planning pace for the big weekend.

There are certain times of the year, when the mountains are at their best and the Inn is especially desirable for special events.

Plan a wedding during low season and enjoy cost savings while still taking advantage of all our Inn has to offer. Picture yourself and your family gathered around our beautiful stone fire place for your ceremony

Plan your wedding for the Spring, when the ornamental fruit trees are in bloom, or wait just a little later and the Dogwoods are spectacular.

The deck on Summer evenings is a beautiful spot for a small ceremony. Chimney Rock is in the background, and the waterfall adds a melodic touch to any event.

If you haven't experienced Fall in the Carolina mountains, it's time you did! The color is breathtaking. It's still warm enough for a ceremony by the fountain or the Spa and fireplace.

Christmas at The Esmeralda Inn & Restaurant is wonderful. We wrap the building in a red ribbon, adorn the tree with hand-picked decorations and light the fire. Winter at The Esmeralda is a quiet, peaceful time to escape, relax and celebrate your special moments.

So whatever time of the year you choose for your nuptials, we would love to host your very special day.
