Venue Features
The scene:
The ancient Appalachian mountain range; once imposing monoliths of rock, have now become a cracked and rugged landscape that lends itself to adventure and exploration of the ancient and more recent visitors and inhabitants of the area. Located on 100 acres of this beautifully rugged and wild landscape, Hemlock Springs sits atop a ridge just above rock shelters with carvings from both ancient civilizations and early American pioneers. Early settlers were attracted to the many springs in the area, and evidence of old moonshine stills can be found scattered around the property. For those adventurous couples looking for a unique photo location, there are beautiful rock shelters and waterfalls that are just a short hike away.
Design:
The downstairs dressing room features impressive Douglas Fir beams with mortise and tenon construction expertly handcrafted by a local Amish crew. Their handiwork can be seen throughout the facility with custom cabinetry, doors, flooring and trim. With an emphasis on using reclaimed and repurposed materials, Hemlock Springs has beautifully blended luxury, quality and eco-design.
Standout venue features:
We provide 13 custom 8-foot long harvest tables and seven 8-foot long folding leg banquet tables plus up to 200 vintage oak chairs.
Extra perks:
We offer you access to custom made decor items and signs, wood feasting tables and folding chairs, 8 industrial-style cocktail tables, a two-piece rolling bar, a bluetooth speaker with microphone and lawn games for guests at no additional charge.

Magical Forest Wedding Venues You'll Want to Get Lost In
When it comes to selecting a wedding venue, there are lots of outdoor options to choose from – urban rooftops, charming courtyards, rolling hills of vineyards – and yet, the most majestic of all the choices is to go somewhere deep in the forest and exchange your vows under the trees. But how can you pull that off while still including all your loved ones? These forested venues have you covered. We’ve done the forest scavenging for you and come up with a glass greenhouse that’s tucked under a canopy of wattle trees, a log cabin in a redwood grove, a vintage summer camp in a forest and so much more.
