From small and intimate to large, indoors or outside, here are a handful of our favorite wedding destinations from Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association:
Noccalula Falls Park: For a small, rustic experience, Noccalula Falls Park in Gadsden checks all the boxes. With a cascading 90-foot waterfall as the backdrop for a beautiful cedar and stone wedding chapel, 65 family and friends can enjoy all mother nature has to offer on the big day.
The Stricklin Hotel: For an elegant, slightly larger wedding – up to 125 guests – the Stricklin Social is located on the second floor of the beautiful Stricklin Hotel in Florence.
Burns Bluff at High Falls: Burns Bluff at High Falls is a premier Wedding Destination Location on an amazing mountaintop in beautiful North Alabama.

Dismals Canyon: For the nature lovers, spend a wedding week or weekend at Dismals Canyon in Phil Campbell. A National Natural Landmark, Dismals Canyon is nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Activities for guests could include hikes around the 85 acres of land or s’mores by a campfire.
The Oakville Indian Mounds Education Center: The Oakville Indian Mounds Education Center is a park and museum site encompassing 122 acres of woodlands, meadows, and a large lake. Couples can choose from several outdoor sites with stunning vistas of the lake and Indian Mounds.
