The Space
Laurel Ridge Country Club is an elegant mountain country-club wedding venue in Waynesville, in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. The club’s friendly atmosphere exudes Southern hospitality and charm, with a comfortable, casual, yet elegant club life that makes it a welcoming place to celebrate. One outstanding feature is the mountain climate, where temperatures average a mild 70 degrees in summer, and the golf course becomes a kaleidoscope of color for much of the year with a wide variety of flowering trees and plants. Rich in history, the clubhouse stands on the very knoll where the historic Piedmont Inn once welcomed summer guests arriving by rail. That combination of mountain scenery, a colorful golf course, and gracious hospitality makes Laurel Ridge a distinctive choice. For couples who want an elegant, comfortable mountain country-club wedding with beautiful scenery and a mild climate near Asheville, Laurel Ridge Country Club is a memorable choice.
Capacity & Layout
As a full country club, Laurel Ridge gives couples elegant event spaces along with the scenic backdrop of a mountain golf course and beautifully maintained grounds. The clubhouse anchors the celebration, offering welcoming spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and couples can move guests naturally from vows to dinner to dancing with the flowering course and mountain views as a constant backdrop. The mix of gracious indoor spaces and beautiful outdoor grounds gives a built-in weather plan and plenty of photo settings, and the mild mountain climate makes outdoor moments especially pleasant much of the year. The club is equipped to handle both larger celebrations and more intimate weddings, and its experienced staff helps coordinate the day. Having the ceremony and reception together at one elegant mountain club keeps the timeline simple and everyone comfortable, with the Blue Ridge setting framing the whole celebration.
Amenities
Laurel Ridge Country Club backs its event spaces with the amenities and gracious service of a mountain club. Year-round dining is available, bringing genuine culinary quality to receptions, and the club’s very popular Sunday Brunch speaks to its reputation for food and hospitality. Beyond the wedding itself, the club’s golf course, driving range, and 24/7 fitness center make it a memorable setting for a rehearsal weekend or morning-after gathering, and the mild mountain climate keeps outdoor time comfortable. The colorful, flowering golf-course grounds and Blue Ridge Mountain surroundings give photographers a stunning, ever-changing backdrop that needs little added decor. For the entertainment, the enclosed clubhouse event spaces give a wedding DJ acoustically controlled rooms to build sound and lighting into, so the reception stays energized and the dance floor stays full within a refined, welcoming mountain setting steeped in genuine Southern hospitality.
