Top Wedding Venues in the High Country
Planning a mountain wedding in North Carolina? The High Country — including Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Beech Mountain, and beyond — is filled with stunning venues that combine rustic charm with breathtaking views.
​
While each venue is unique, many share one thing in common: hilly terrain and spread-out event spaces. That’s why couples across the High Country are turning to golf cart rentals to make transportation easy, comfortable, and memorable for their guests.
Here are some of the top wedding venues in the Boone and Banner Elk area where golf carts can truly elevate the wedding experience:
Appalachian View (Crab Orchard, NC)
One of the newer venues in the region, Appalachian View offers exactly what the name promises — stunning panoramic mountain vistas. The grounds are expansive, making golf carts an excellent way to help guests enjoy the views without long walks.
​
What sets Appalachian View apart is that it’s not only stunning, but also one of the best venues in the region for the cost. Couples rave about how they get million-dollar views and modern amenities without the sky-high price tag of other mountain venues. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers unmatched value, sweeping Blue Ridge backdrops, and a guest-friendly layout, Appalachian View is hard to beat.

Overlook Barn (Banner Elk, NC)
When it comes to mountain weddings in the High Country, Overlook Barn is hard to top. Known for having some of the very best views in all of North Carolina, this Banner Elk venue delivers sweeping panoramas that stretch for miles — the perfect backdrop for saying “I do.”
​
Overlook Barn isn’t just about the view, though. Couples love its flexibility: choose from multiple ceremony sites, open fields, and a beautifully restored barn that blends rustic charm with modern amenities. The property is expansive, which gives you endless photo opportunities and plenty of space for guests, but also makes golf cart rentals a smart choice to shuttle everyone comfortably across the grounds. If you want a venue that feels both grand and intimate, with a view your guests will talk about for years, Overlook Barn is one of the best choices in the High Country.
The Mill at Rock Creek (Boone, NC)
A favorite near Boone, The Mill at Rock Creek offers a blend of rustic elegance and mountain scenery. With wide outdoor spaces and picturesque views, it’s an ideal venue for couples who want a classic Appalachian wedding. Golf carts make it easy to move guests across the property while keeping the experience relaxed.
Twickenham House & Hall (Jefferson, NC)
Set on a private mountain estate, Twickenham House offers sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s a large venue with multiple ceremony and reception locations, which means golf cart shuttles are a huge advantage for both guests and vendors moving between sites.
The Mast Farm Inn (Valle Crucis, NC)
Known for its historic charm, The Mast Farm Inn combines rustic barns with cozy, romantic accommodations. Perfect for intimate weddings, this venue’s property layout makes golf carts a practical option for transporting guests from ceremony to reception areas.
Chetola Resort (Blowing Rock, NC)
A centerpiece of Blowing Rock, Chetola Resort offers lakeside ceremonies, elegant ballrooms, and mountain views. Guests love the natural beauty, but the grounds are spread out — making golf cart rentals a smart addition for seamless guest transportation.
Twisted Oak Estate (Banner Elk, NC)
With its blend of rustic barns and mountain landscapes, Twisted Oak Estate is perfect for couples seeking a private, countryside wedding. A golf cart rental ensures guests can easily move between ceremony, cocktail, and reception spaces.
Banner Elk Winery & Villa (Banner Elk, NC)
The combination of a vineyard setting and a luxurious villa makes this a dream wedding venue. However, vineyards often mean rolling hills and spread-out grounds. Golf carts keep the experience comfortable and guest-friendly.
The Barn at Cornerstone (Banner Elk, NC)
The Barn at Cornerstone is a classic rustic barn venue with modern amenities. Its large outdoor property is perfect for big gatherings — and golf carts help move both people and supplies efficiently.

Valle Crucis Farm offers a simple, rustic backdrop for weddings in the High Country. It’s a very no-frills space, best suited for couples who want a low-key, country feel. While it may not provide the modern amenities or dramatic mountain settings of other venues in the region, it can be a fit for those seeking a laid-back, budget-friendly option.
