Hidden River Events

Hidden River Events is a 16+ acre event center/farm and outdoor wedding venue in North Carolina. Ceremony sites include long-range views of the Craggy Mountains, flower gardens, and nurturing ceremony sites next to the Swannanoa River. We will be closed in 2025 for renovations and will reopen in late April 2026 with refreshed and refined offerings, drawing from our 18 years of experience with stress-free weddings. Choose from site rental only for a DIY event or our Mountain Elegance Package for a fully stress-free, cost-saving event. Hidden River is easily accessible, and once here, your guests will not want to leave. The on-site accommodations have some of the best views in the region, overlooking the Swannanoa Valley. The architectural tent (one of only a few in the country with its design) has a 5000 sf permanent concrete pad and all the infrastructure needed for up to 200-person events. At Hidden River, elevate your wedding experience beyond a mere four to five-hour affair, reduce stress, and save money. Our Saturday events include two days of access to the venue and three nights of on-site housing three to five vacation rental houses, allowing you a leisurely pace or the option of multiple events. Sunday-Tuesday weddings have the option of on-site houses, and Wednesday weddings have the option of multiple houses and multiple nights, just like Saturday, but with great cost savings. (And Wednesday weddings are supposed to be good luck!) Most of the infrastructure necessary for your event is included. Ask about our Discount Honeymoon Options (Mexico, Maui, St. Martin), subject to availability. For events other than weddings, such as Memorials, Family Reunions, Nonprofit fundraisers, Business retreats, and more, please contact us and tell us what you need.
