Historic Hampton House 1908

Set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this historic Pickens property offers a characterful setting for weddings, celebrations and corporate gatherings. Built in 1908, its renovated mansion combines period features with modern comforts, while mature trees and landscaped gardens provide private outdoor surroundings for ceremonies and photographs.

Organisers can choose from several spaces to suit the occasion and guest list. The garden Pavilion accommodates weddings and larger events for up to 200 guests. The Carriage House offers covered indoor-outdoor reception space for up to 120, with a built-in bar, preparation kitchen, modern restrooms and sound system. The mansion provides a more intimate option for gatherings of up to 30, as well as five guest bedrooms. Additional ready rooms give wedding parties space to prepare on site, and the property also includes separate overnight accommodation in the Hampton Loft.

Wedding celebrations can include a choice of ceremony locations, flexible seating arrangements and packages with support from a wedding specialist. Some packages bring together elements such as meals, flowers, cake and photography, while options with accommodation let guests stay on the estate. The venue also welcomes birthdays, bridal showers, anniversaries and other private celebrations.

For businesses, the property can host meetings and multi-day retreats. Organisers can also discuss leadership development and diversity and inclusion sessions tailored to their teams. With distinct indoor and outdoor areas, historic character and lodging available, the estate gives planners several ways to shape an event around their group and programme.
