Silver Hearth Lodge is a private and gated wedding facility that encompasses the very top of Bent Mountain on 40 acres. We are the only private mountain top wedding venue in the entire south east. The elevation is 3000' above sea level with views of the Roanoke Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains that go on and on and on for as far as the eye can see. While spring and fall weddings are our most popular, summer weddings on the mountain top can boast of perfect temperatures (average 76 degrees in August). Our refined rustic wedding venue can accommodate up to 300 for a wedding ceremony/reception event and in the rare event of inclement weather, our indoor rain plan is flawless! Since we are a “day lodge,” overnight accommodations for you/your guests are provided by Holiday Inn Tanglewood at deeply discounted rates…they will even help with your transportation needs to and from the venue on their shuttle bus! Because we believe that you should have whatever type of catering you want and not be forced to use “the venues’ choice,” we have an extensive list of caterers (ranging from $10 – $150 per person) who are included in our catalog of professional wedding vendors – all of whom have agreed to offer their services at VERY reasonable rates! Your special day will be easy, affordable & incredible because we have done much of the decorating and nearly all of the work for you with set up/take down/clean up. …and yes, alcohol is allowed (BYOB) at our facility with no restrictions.
