About Hidden River Events
Hidden River Events is a private farm wedding venue in Swannanoa beside the Swannanoa River, with Blue Ridge Mountain views and outdoor ceremony settings by the river, pond, gardens, in a field, or beneath a sycamore tree. Receptions are held in a permanent 6,800-square-foot event tent with a concrete foundation, lighting, climate protection, catering tent, bar and buffet, décor, and restrooms. The tent is described as accommodating up to 225 guests; larger events require additional tenting. All-inclusive packages include planning and event coordination, setup and cleanup, catering and dessert, flowers, photography, DJ, and other event infrastructure. Menus can be customized, and outside caterers are allowed. Couples provide their own alcohol; serving liquor requires a North Carolina ABC permit and venue approval. DIY site rental is also offered. Amenities include a bridal changing studio, guest transport by electric vehicle, parking in a field, a fire pit, and rehearsal or welcome-dinner options. On-site vacation homes are available, with current package lodging described as four homes for up to 35 overnight guests; availability and arrangements may vary.
