  • River Falls Lodge began in 1892 as a private estate nestled along the cascading waters that give our property its name. For generations, the property served as a gathering place for the founding family's most treasured celebrations—intimate dinners, garden parties, dancing, and of course, weddings.

    We opened our doors to share this extraordinary setting with couples seeking a venue as meaningful as their love story. The grounds, with their century-old trees and natural waterfall views, remain as enchanting as they were over a hundred years ago.

    Today, River Falls Lodge honors its heritage while creating new legacies. Each wedding held here adds another chapter to our story—a story of love, family, and the timeless beauty of celebrating life's most important moments in a place where history and romance intertwine.

Just minutes from River Falls Lodge, stunning vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide an incomparable backdrop and creates an atmosphere of elegance and romance.
