Chimney Rock Park Weddings
Plan your wedding at Chimney Rock Park

A spectacular setting for your special day. Whether on top of the Chimney with a 75-mile panoramic view, at the base of our 404-ft. waterfall, surrounded by majestic cliffs, or our 5-acre Meadows, Chimney Rock Park offers a unique mountain setting for your ceremony that is as rustic or elegant as you are.

Choose from a variety of locations in which to celebrate — perfect for your rehearsal dinner and reception. A full range of catering options is available to you.

  • 75 people maximum for a ceremony on top of the Chimney;
    25 additional wedding guests may be accommodated on the boardwalk deck below the Chimney if necessary (depending on volume of other Park guest traffic)
  • Ceremonies with over 100 people are held on the Meadows

Atmosphere
We won't charge you for the "extras" like singing birds, Carolina blue sky or the mountain in full color. Surrounded by such beauty, what more could you need?
