Marry Surrounded by Nature, Presence, and Love

A wedding space should be as sacred as the vows you take.

After hosting countless retreats and spiritual weddings, the energy of transformation is tangible at Bliss. Many describe stepping onto the land like walking through a portal to a different world. A great many have had life-changing spiritual experiences that they have taken back into their communities.

Weddings are known for their liveliness and fun, but there is also a deep, mystical dimension to marriage and weddings. In a brief window of time, a connection is made that changes both of your lives forever. For those who exchange sacred vows on our land, our intent is that your commitment is sealed by divinity; and that you take this blessing with you for the rest of your lives.

For future spouses looking for a private setting in nature, Wheel Of Bliss is your slice of heaven. Far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, our land is like a marriage retreat space enveloped in the natural world. The spiritual dimensions of the land are reflected by physical beauty.

Explore the grounds of Bliss with your wedding party: hike 5 different trails, swim in freshwater streams, and set your eyes upon breathtaking views.

In addition, our 63 acres of land offers unique natural experiences you can enjoy with your group, such as nearby streams, waterfalls, and gorgeous mountain vistas. As one of the most sought-after retreat wedding venues, we offer a balance of serenity and celebration for your special day.

3 Ways to Hold Your Wedding at Bliss

We offer three ways to hold your wedding at Wheel of Bliss, each designed to support your vision — whether you’re planning an intimate circle, a family gathering, or a full retreat celebration.

1. Are you a couple looking for a day ceremony, reception, or elopement only?

Start with the Celestial Hall & Center Package. This combination is perfect for ceremonies, receptions, or elopements where the focus is on intimacy and connection. The large yurt can accommodate several dozen people while the Hall has ample dining space for all of your guests. Better yet, take advantage of  breathtaking views with an outdoor ceremony. With a full kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and 3 showers, it offers everything needed for a smaller gathering, along with ample outdoor space and parking for guests. This is an ideal wedding event space for couples who want a sacred yet simple container.

2. Would you like to book overnight lodging in addition to a ceremony & reception?

For overnight gatherings, the Bliss House Package offers both ceremony and lodging. With 16 beds, 5.5 bathrooms, a full kitchen, a meditation room, and a spacious deck overlooking forest and stream, it creates the feeling of home while holding space for celebration. Families and friends can stay together, share meals, and gather across indoor and outdoor spaces. This is a natural choice for couples seeking a personalized wedding experience.

3. Interested in reserving everything?

For couples who want to open every doorway, the Wheel of Bliss Retreat Package makes the entire property yours. This full-property package includes all three facilities with 16 beds, 4 cots, and 8.5 bathrooms, plus 63 acres of mountain trails, waterfalls, and streams. Guests can hike the trails, rest by the water, and take in sweeping views, while you, your spouse, and your loved ones are surrounded by the natural beauty of Blue Ridge. Among mountain wedding venues, this option offers unmatched privacy and scale.

Each package is customizable. Whether you choose one space or the full retreat, our team ensures the details align with your vision — from decorations and flow of the day to how the land itself becomes part of your story. Your wedding may only last one day, but the memories will last forever.

Hear from Our Guests

A lovely, secluded part of the world. Very comfortable accommodations. Communication with the host was incredibly smooth, prompt and courteous. Definitely recommend for large groups wanting to retreat and unplug.

Beautiful property that had absolutely everything we needed for our retreat! Rob is the best property manager and made our stay absolutely perfect!

Shannon

A paradise perfect for mindful retreats! Peaceful trails, waterfalls, clear starry skies, and comfortable beds.

Liz

We planned a team bonding time with a group, and the place truly met our expectation. We had the best time ever and looking forward to using Colin’s place again. Great host and awesome caretaker “Rob”

Priscilla

Charlotte, North Carolina

We just spent a weekend at this beautiful retreat center. It is the perfect location to disconnect from all the distractions of the world and enjoy the solitude. Colin was very communicative and orderly. Everything was prompt and response time was impressive. Rob, the grounds keeper, was fantastic. Very nice and personable, made contact once and we only heard from him if we reached out, but there really was no need as they had everything setup from the beginning. Highly, highly recommend this location if you need room for a large group, and want to disconnect and focus on each other.

Aron

San Diego, California

My wife and I gathered my family here for Thanksgiving, and to renew our wedding vows. This location was perfect for our needs. It is in a beautiful, secluded area, about 30 minutes from the nearest town. There is a caretaker on site that was able to help us when we had more specific questions about the house and the local area. The host was also reachable via the app for the duration of the stay. We had a wonderful time, and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get away from it all.

David

Hubbard, Oregon

My husband and I had our (small and intimate, family only) wedding ceremony here and it was BEAUTIFUL! We absolutely LOVED this listing, everything about it! From the location of the house, to the landscape and the cleanliness of the house and friendliness of the host, our entire group fell in love with this home and trip.

Alesa

Columbia, South Carolina

This place is a sacred space beyond our expectations. If you are truly needing a getaway from the busy world and needing to reconnect with yourself or your family, this is it. The communication and quick responses made this easy on us while planning an impromptu wedding ceremony with our close family and friends.

Lauren

Spectacular property! The house had absolutely everything we needed for our yoga retreat. Rob was completely wonderful checking us in and making sure we had everything we need.

The “Wheel of Bliss” Retreat Center is a magical portal for deep healing and transformation. As a long time retreat leader, I believe this center to be a jewel. From the beauty of the earth, to the incredible hiking trails and pristine swimming holes and rocks to sunbathe on, the spaces to do yoga and meditation are exquisite. The fire pits are energized, and the living quarters are beyond comfortable. Yes, the mattresses were a big hit, and many women reported sleeping really well. The staff and caretakers are loving and kind, and easy to connect with. Our group of women had a collective journey of healing and joy thanks to all of the love, intention, and practice that goes into making this center a container for goodness on planet earth.

Wheel of Bliss is an amazing center to host an aware group of people! Catering to meditation and inner work this center has one of the most beautiful pieces of land backed up to national Forrest with streams, rivers, swimming holes, and nature galore. The house offers one of the most beautiful meditation rooms you have ever seen with a huge alter that really supported the work we did there. The yurt was supportive in our larger group size allowing our practice to come together in a peaceful space. The caretaker is kind and helpful with anything needed. I highly recommend working from this magical center with your sacred groups!

“This space holds such pure magic and love. It was absolutely perfect for our group of 12 women for a Rebirthing experience. The trails are stunning, and the home is cozy and well stocked. We are so blessed to have found this space and plan to return again and again!”

Shelby Davis

Newnan, Georgia

“Absolute perfection! Truly there is no way I can say enough wonderful things about the Wheel of Bliss retreat. From sacred, gorgeous temperate rainforests, streams, and mountains with incredibly fun and well kept trails to the remarkably comfortable and well appointed home with stunning views from every window and decks galore to experience the beautiful parts of the day and the gorgeous stars at night to the yurt for yoga, meditation, dance, or prayer, I could not recommend a stay here more. I stayed three weeks and can’t wait to return.”

Gwen Johnson

“We could not be more happy with our Wheel of Bliss experience! Colin and the rest of the team made the booking process so simple, and the property itself is absolutely gorgeous. The land spirits are incredibly welcoming and the atmosphere is truly blissful just as the name suggests. We also rented the Celestial Hall and Celestial Center with our group and were pleasantly surprised how modern and well-thought out the architecture was. We were so glad to be able to support another spiritual non-profit, and have got so much inspiration for our own organization throughout our stay. We can’t wait to book our next retreat!”

“The Wheel of Bliss Retreat Center is a magical place! The property itself is full of gifts and beauty, and to be able to wake up in the morning and walk through the woods to do yoga in a gorgeous yurt is such a treat! Not only is the property incredible but the staff goes above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. This is a space where lives will change. Highly recommend!”

“Wheel of Bliss is my favorite Retreat center. I hold multiple Women’s Circle Retreats there each year. Everyone always talks about how magical the space is. The land is incredibly beautiful in all seasons. The way we are nestled in the mountains feels as though we are stepping out of the world and into a true retreat. I love being able to be the only people on the land. The main house itself feels like home. It is incredibly comfortable, well equipped, and creates a safe sacred space for connection in community. Where else can you have a creek, private swimming hole, sweet little waterfalls, trails, beautiful space complete with an altar room, incredibly comfortable lush beds, people who really care about honoring this land & center, and be completely secluded? It is perfection!”

“I cannot describe this place as anything less than magical. Three friends and I took a girls trip here in order to unwind and get closer to our spiritual self and eachother. We started our mornings with yoga on the porch, and ended them stargazing (we even saw a shooting star the first night!), with lots of hiking, meditation, and building fires throughout. The property is absolutely stunning and the details in the house were unending. We all kept referring to it as home without even meaning to. Colin responded within minutes every time and Rob was there for anything we needed while on property. This was the best trip of my life and I can’t recommend it enough! Can’t wait to come back.”
