I've said it before and I'll say it again. Check out Wedding Dresses - Wedding Engagement - Wedding Ideas - Wedding Planning - By TheKnot.com. It is a specialized wedding site with boards dedicated to regions/cities.

Lake Lure has some nice areas but a bit more than 1 hr. Really depends on budget and if you want outdoor space/gardens vs ballroom or funky space.

I would 2nd The Knot as well. It wasn't as big when I planned my wedding but now it seems to be the main wedding planning site.

I too am looking for somewhere not too expensive but elegant. Moreso for a reception. Ideas. A friend had theirs at Ashley Grove so that is out for me, even though I liked it.

Have you thought of the Pewter Rose on south blvd? I have done a couple of weddings there. It is a nice place for the reception.
