I cannot say enough amazing things about Village Pine Venue. Due to the hurricane damages in NC, I had to completely replan our wedding 10 days before it happened. Melissa from Village Pine was eager to help us out and quickly helped us get booked and started on choosing new vendors. Village pine is an absolutely beautiful venue with a wonderful space for all things (bridal getting ready, grooms getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc.). This venue is a stunning space with outrageously helpful staff and I am so glad to have had my wedding here. I cannot recommend them enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!

The event coordinator and management took so much stress off our shoulders, and we really appreciated their flexibility—we were able to bring in our own caterer, which made the day feel exactly how we wanted it. They made our event planner's life so much easier too, which honestly meant everything to us.
