There are many gorgeous venues in the Asheville area. If you are planning a small wedding or elopement, there are a number of free spots that provide a beautiful setting for the wedding couple and a few witnesses.

The Bird Sanctuary Wedding, Asheville NC

A large tree with a great curving trunk, offers a dramatic backdrop for a small wedding.

There are two decks within the Bird Sanctuary which overlook beautiful Beaver Damn Lake. These spots are great for an elopement wedding or a ceremony with only a few guests.

Bird Sanctuary, Asheville NC

This beautiful structure spans a marsh area filled with cat tails, water plants and, of course, birds. This space is dramatic but it is part of the path through the Bird Sanctuary so you may have a few extra onlookers for your wedding.
