About

Our rustic outdoor venue accommodates up to 15 in the woods of Mills River, NC. You can exchange vows surrounded by woodland trees in a sea of ferns, under a rustic chandelier, surrounded by nature. The quaint private forest of the property offers ample opportunities to create wedding magic, with a variety of picturesque settings to choose from. Alternatively, The Ruins offers a stunning celebration site that overlooks the property’s tranquil pond. This peaceful body of water is a stunning backdrop for some eye-catching wedding photos. For some shelter, the Perkins Chapel and Gazebo are a great choice for intimate festivities and will make you feel like a character in a fairytale of your own telling.

A wedding dream come true

From the moment I found River North NC, I completely fell in love. I just knew it had to be my wedding venue. The property is absolutely stunning and pictures truly do not do it justice. Since it was a destination wedding for me, the fact that I was able to house all of my wedding party & helping hands was a huge plus for me. The owners were such a delight to work with every step of the way. This property truly made my dream wedding come true!

Simple, Romantic, Perfect

My husband and I wanted a quaint micro-wedding, with our immediate family members by our side. He ended up finding this location, and we both fell in love. It's conveniently located in the beautiful NC mountains, with enough room to stay on the property with your friends and/or family. There isn't a thing I would change about our experience, and the owners were incredibly kind and hospitable. 10/10 recommend!
