THE WEDDING SUITE
The North wing of the historic Mountain Stream Lodge has been converted into our Wedding Suite with private dressing rooms, large sitting areas with views across the property, 2 baths with plenty of mirrors, amenities and getting ready spaces. Usage of the Suite for 6 hours on the day of the wedding comes included in any of our Ceremony packages (overnights not included.)
This building was originally built by E.W. Grove in 1923 and later became the main offices and administration building for Black Mountain College before converting to the family home and central hub of our property for the last 60 years. It is believed such luminaries as Albert Einstein and Buckminster Fuller stayed in the lodge during their time here and many famous artists have gotten ready in the Suite during the LEAF Festivals over the years.
Today it has new life as the hub of wedding day activity, where you and your party can relax and get ready in comfort. We’ve even added the Sanctuary Room with a Migun accupressure bed and massage table!
