About Our Venue
Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just outside Asheville, our family-owned elopement venue offers a private and peaceful escape for couples seeking a truly meaningful "I Do."
Surrounded by rolling hills, wildflowers, mature oaks and panoramic mountain views, this intimate setting was lovingly created to celebrate small weddings with big love.
Here, couples are welcomed like family. Every detail is handled with heart, encompassing thoughtfully curated packages that include the essentials for a stress-free celebration.
Whether you envision a quiet moment between the trees or a sunset vow exchange overlooking the valley, our mountaintop sanctuary provides the perfect backdrop.
With flexible options for 2-20 guests, this hidden gem is ideal for your Elopement in Asheville NC and a place to celebrate your love in a place that feels like home, where the beauty of nature and warmth of family come together in perfect harmony.
Asheville North Carolina, also known as the Land of the Sky, is nestled in the mountains. Amelia Belle Vue offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, providing the perfect backdrop for your special day.
Why Our Family Loves Hosting Weddings
Owning a wedding venue isn't just a business for our family -- it's a calling, a passion, and a privilege. Every love story that unfolds here becomes a part of our own story, and we're honored to play even a small role in one of life's most meaningful moments.
We love watching couples arrive full of excitement and leave with memories that will last a lifetime. There's nothing quite like seeing happy tears during a quiet elopement or laughter echoing across the mountains during an intimate celebration. It's in those moments that we're reminded why we do what we do.
As a family, we've poured our hearts into this land--planting flowers, building by hand, and creating a space that feels welcoming, peaceful, and real. We don't just offer a venue; we offer care, attention to detail, and the kind of personal connection you won't find in a larger, more commercial setting.
We love meeting people from all walks of life and giving them a place to slow down, be present, and start their next chapter surrounded by nature and love. It brings us joy to share our slice of the mountains with others-- and it means everything to know this space helps to create unforgettable new beginnings.
We hope to meet you here at Amelia Belle Vue or at our sister wedding venue, Chateau Amelia in Upstate South Carolina where we host weddings of up to 100 guests.
Here's to the business of Love!
