Nestled along the shores of Lake Toxaway, NC, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Greystone Inn is a timeless wedding destination designed for couples seeking an intimate, elevated, and truly personal celebration.
Originally built in 1915 as a private home, the Inn blends historic charm with understated luxury. Thoughtfully restored interiors, sweeping lake views, and serene outdoor spaces create a naturally beautiful backdrop for every moment of your wedding weekend.
The Greystone Inn is best known for its exclusive-use wedding experiences, during which the Inn closes to the public, allowing you and your guests to enjoy complete privacy from check-in to check-out. This exclusivity transforms your celebration into a relaxed, immersive gathering where every detail feels intentional and unrushed.
The Grand Event grants exclusive access to the property for a 10-hour wedding-day experience, offering privacy and flexibility within an elegant setting. For smaller celebrations, our Intimate Weddings are carefully designed to deliver the same beauty and attention to detail on a more intimate scale. And for couples who prefer a quiet, meaningful exchange of vows, Elopements are always available.
Ceremonies may be held on our scenic terrace or boathouse deck, each offering sweeping views of the lake. Whether you envision a candlelit dinner, an elegant tented reception, or a refined indoor celebration, the setting adapts beautifully to your vision.
On-site accommodations allow your closest family and friends to stay together throughout the celebration, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels more like a destination retreat than a traditional venue. Our award-winning culinary team provides exceptional, seasonally inspired cuisine, with menus to reflect your tastes and style.
From the quiet mountain mornings to sunset views over the lake, The Greystone Inn offers a wedding experience rooted in connection, natural beauty, and thoughtful hospitality—perfect for couples who value intimacy, exclusivity, and timeless elegance.
