"Earth laughs in flowers...."
Tucked in northeast Alabama’s Lookout Mountain is the small village of Mentone. There, you are surrounded by the vast beauty of nature, the gentle winds of the mountain, the rushing sound of waterfalls and the friendliest people in the world. Now imagine an intimate wedding with you and your fiance and a few close friends as you take your vows in a Historic country church built around a vast rock. You then enjoy an intimate reception on the back porch of your cabin while the sun sets on the western brow of the mountain. As the sun gently disappears into a red sky, the train whistle in the valley below signals the fireflies to perform a light show that twinkles like sparklers celebrating your marriage. This is Mentone. The best kept secret in Northeast Alabama...
Small-scaled wedding planning can be as challenging and frustrating as large weddings. As you will find, most private venues are priced and geared for weddings with a minimum of 50 people. While most venues offer small wedding "packages", the difficulty is in booking a private venue and competing with the weddings who have pre-booked a year in advanced. One advantage to a small wedding party or an elopement is that you actually have more options available to you! Small venues include parks, scenic overlooks, the balcony of your cabin overlooking the mountain, a vacation rental home, restaurant, someone’s property or a historic 85 year old stone chapel in the woods…
For an elopement or small gathering; first time bride, or second; young or mature couples; active or easy-going - the natural, four season beauty of the Northeast Alabama mountains will make your wedding vision come true.

Desoto Falls and Little River Falls offers scenery that matches many of the popular “tourist” areas - but without the crowds. All seasons on the mountain offer a different experience - Imagine the waves of color during the fall or the gentle snowfall in the woods while you soak in the hottub on the back porch of your cabin...
Mentone can offer you a quiet, peaceful joy. Mentone is for any age. You can simply enjoy the sunset over the brow and completely relax in a fully equipped vacation rental cabin or you can take advantage of the many hiking trails and outdoor activities.
