Imagine saying I Do while standing in a beautiful 100-year-old orchard set against the magnificent backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sound like a dream? At the Historic Orchard at Altapass we make dreams come true! Not only are weddings at the Orchard beautiful and unique, they are affordable too.

Because we understand your wedding is one of the most important moments in your life, our aim is to see you and your guests relax and enjoy your special day. Depending on your individual needs we can offer inside or outside ceremonies, catering, hayrides, fireworks and much more.

For your reception there's a wide variety of fine musical groups to help you dance the night away. Is authentic bluegrass your first choice? Or cabaret? Perhaps a violin serenade? No matter what your tastes, we've pretty much got you covered! The Orchard regularly books some of the best live acts in North Carolina.

Want to turn your wedding celebration into a mini-holiday? Thanks to local inns, B&Bs and restaurants, the Orchard is suited for local and out-of-town wedding parties. Before or after the big day your friends and family can participate in countless local activities such as golf, hiking, horseback riding, and don't forget shopping at the famous Penland School of Crafts, as well as numerous artists' studios and galleries. The memories will last a lifetime.
