The planning and expense of a wedding can also reflect the passions and values shared by a couple. Support the mission of a meaningful regional nonprofit by choosing a venue that gives back.<\/p>\n

Southern Appalachian Highland Conservancy Community Farm<\/strong>
\nThe Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy (SAHC) owns a working community farm in Alexander, a gorgeous setting for outdoor weddings with a giant hilltop oak tree, rolling pastures and distant mountains along the horizon. \u201cIt\u2019s especially fitting for people who love the mountains, because you can enjoy the stunning natural setting along with the satisfaction of knowing that your wedding will help support conservation of land and water resources,\u201d says Kirin Battaglia, SAHC\u2019s events and weddings coordinator. Couples and guests might also encounter charming free-range chickens and shaggy Highland cattle on the 140-acre property.<\/p>\n

Weddings hosted at the farm help support the property\u2019s programs, including land management and environmental stewardship in stream restoration, shortleaf pine reforestation and silvopasture projects; SAHC\u2019s Farmer Incubator Program; and educational projects. \u201cRevenue from weddings also helps support SAHC\u2019s conservation mission across the mountains of Western North Carolina and East Tennessee,\u201d says Battaglia. \u201cSAHC works to protect habitat for rare and native plants and animals, clean water sources of streams and rivers, local farmland, places for all people to enjoy outdoor recreation, and scenic beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kara Delfino and Matt Arneson were married at the Community Farm in October of 2022. \u201cThere were a few other venues that we considered,\u201d says Delfino, \u201cbut none of the venues had the special feel that SAHC did. By far the most appealing part of the farm was the gorgeous view. Beyond the idyllic setting of SAHC, couples can expect an extremely responsive and helpful staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Village Green<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Village Green<\/p><\/div>\n

Choosing to host your wedding at The Village Green in Cashiers gives you access to 5,800-square-foot Lewis Hall, an expansive, luxurious timber-frame building with a private bridal suite, as well as the outdoor Common\u2019s Lawn and all adjoining structures. The large, covered stage can accommodate your chosen band or DJ and the covered pavilion area is perfect for a cocktail area. \u201cWhen a couple chooses The Village Green\u2019s Lewis Hall as their venue, their reservation funds contribute to our overall revenue for The Village Green,\u201d says executive director Ashlie Mitchell-Lanning. \u201cWith this revenue, we are able to host over 100 free community events here within the Hall. The revenue from private events helps us keep the doors open at our beautiful venue, and all in our surrounding community in the Cashiers area benefit from having a beautiful, indoor community space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaitlyn and Jonathan Villarreal were married at The Village Green in August of 2021. \u201cWe didn\u2019t even look at other venues,\u201d says Kaitlyn. \u201cEven though Cashiers is a small town, The Village Green really delivers on this venue. It needs so little as far as d\u00e9cor goes because it\u2019s naturally so beautiful in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 434-acre North Carolina Arboretum is not only a venue but an experience. The NC Arboretum is located within the Bent Creek Forest and features beautifully manicured gardens and an extensive trail system that guests and wedding parties alike will enjoy. And with the Arboretum\u2019s Green Weddings Program, couples can feel good about the environmental impact of their special day. \u201cA key component of our Green Weddings Program is focusing on sustainability and promoting green practices for all events,\u201d says events supervisor Jessie Coates. \u201cAll revenue from the program goes to support our environmental offerings including exhibits, education and new projects throughout the gardens.\u201d<\/p>\n
