About Us
Welcome
Congratulations on your engagement & Greetings from the owners of Something Blue Mountain Venue located in beautiful McDowell County, North Carolina. We have been so busy creating this special place and we can't wait share it with you.
We have been married for over 30 years, raised 2 awesome children, enjoyed 20+ years careers in human services and spent decades searching and saving with our mountain dream echoing in the background. We found our land in 2016 and began building our home, farm and wedding venue dream.
After several years - the hardest part of our plan is completed - the land and building preparation are ready to use and enjoy. We are so excited to share in the celebration of Everlasting Love with future couples and their loved-ones who wish to get married here at Something Blue Mountain Venue!
Thank you for Your interest in our intimate wedding venue.
-David and Lisa- owners
