“The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.”

“I wanted a wedding venue in the mountains of North Carolina. I viewed so many venues from Salem to Banner Elk. Nothing compared to The Fields of Blackberry Cove. They were easy to set up a viewing appointment with. They walked us all around the property, including multiple ceremony options and a large guest house with a bridal suite and two guest bathrooms. Doug, the owner, offers his own catering which was beyound incredible. We did a buffet style and it was all delicious. Doug even made me my own cauliflower steak - I'm a vegetarian. Through the entire process Doug and his team, especially Carmen, were a pleasure to work with.”

From the first conversation, Allie and her team were responsive, kind, and always one step ahead of what we needed. They really fought for us to have the outdoor ceremony we wanted, even when the weather wasn't cooperating, they really cared, but we decided to have it inside with the door open and it was Magical! The sun started breaking through, birds were chirping. They answered every single question we threw at them. The venue itself is breathtaking with gorgeous grounds and thoughtful details everywhere you look. Allie was professional yet joyful to work with, and the whole team made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire planning process. We had everything we needed for our perfect day, and we'd recommend them in a heartbeat.”

Honestly, consider her a friend now with how close we got through the planning process! On the day of our wedding, the staff went above and beyond—they stocked our bride and groom suite with everything we could want and kept it stocked, and when we realized we'd forgotten our table numbers at home, they quickly provided some that fit perfectly with our decorations! The staff treated us like family from the start, and the combination of beautiful grounds, excellent wine, and their genuine care made our day feel truly special.

The day of the event, the staff was incredible. They were available for anything we needed. The venue itself is incredible- the views are absolutely gorgeous and people could not stop talking about how incredible the space was.

“Henderson Acres is truly beyond anything we could’ve hoped for with our wedding venue. First their actual outdoor space and house is so beautiful it is straight out of a magazine- picture perfect. The decor and stone within the house is such an elevated look we were in awe of. They are constantly adding things to the space and not to add things you need to pay for but to offer plenty of things for you to enjoy to use during your day. For instance there was several items of decor we used from them that we decided day of to use and the flexibility of that is incredible. They have a reasonably priced furniture package that their venue staff helps set up on wedding day and they have a retractable tent in case of inclement weather. Next the staff is absolutely incredible. Seriously beyond kind, helpful, responsive, and authentically caring. Planning the wedding was a dream with them, and the staff the day of was beyond kind and helpful ensuring the day ran smoothly. An example, we had one guest who was in a wheelchair and had to have an uber come to the venue for pick up/drop off - the staff without being asked drove to the bottom of the driveway waited for the uber and personally escorted them to the top. That kind of hospitality was noticed by our guests who raved about their kindness. I could write about so many more amazing things this venue has to offer. We received countless (truly countless) compliments on this venue and the venue staff - from the beauty of the space to the kindness and authentic care everyone felt. Our photographer captured the day perfectly with such beauty and somehow you’re still amazed seeing the space in person. I think there is something special about a family owned business and this venue is a prime example of it! Without a doubt the best decision we made in our wedding planning was booking Henderson Acres after so much searching - couldn’t recommend more!!!!”

Most couples spend $23,000+ stitching together a wedding across three different vendors, two different locations, and four frantic days of logistics. Then it's over in four hours. Scarborough House is a different decision. This is a private historic estate built in 1821 — 13 bedrooms, sleeps 26+, capacity for 225 guests. When you book Scarborough House, you get the whole property Friday through* Sunday. Your people wake up here. They eat breakfast here. The rehearsal dinner happens here. The ceremony happens here. The afterparty happens here. You don't rent a venue. You take over an estate. The full weekend experience is $10,500. Compare that to the average North Carolina wedding at $23,000+ — before the venue even starts — and the math gets obvious fast. One price. One property. One weekend you'll never forget. (NOT ALL INCLUSIVE) also NOT vendor exclusive Memories end once people leave. Make memories, Cherish them. Dates are limited and we don't hold them without a deposit.

“My dream ceremony spot was in the trees, and this venue was the only one I found in the area that offered it. The Enchanted Forest microwedding option was ideal; the venue is rural, peaceful, and spacious. They had an excellent unbeatable selection of decor and allowed any professional caterer. Communication was great, and I never waited long for answers. Closer to the event, having Holly, my coordinator's personal number for texting, was helpful. She and her assistant were excellent in setting up and stayed on top of the timeline. The phone and video calls, in-person decor selection, and venue walkthroughs eased my worries. While other bridal areas weren't pretty and/or small (locker room, gym, large closet) the bridal suite was large and beautiful, and the free engagement shoot perk was nice. Meeting Melanie, her husband and their dogs shows this is a family business. Fantastic venue.”

“Something Blue Mountain Venue was our first and only choice for our wedding venue. The views are breathtaking and it is like nature herself decided to give the perfect frame for every photo. The owner Lisa is wonderful and really makes it incredibly easy to show up and enjoy! She gave the best recommendations for vendors. Recent renovations even made a fully enclosed bar area perfect for sipping and staying warm in the winter. We had 35 people and it was the perfect size even though 35 was the maximum number of guests. Overall, not a chance in a million years I would prefer any other venue. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend. Thanks Lisa!”

Nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Laurel Falls offers a natural backdrop that complements any style or vision. Its historic charm is intentionally preserved and beautifully maintained, creating a setting that feels both intimate and timeless. One of the things we loved most was how the property allowed us to shape our day in a way that felt deeply personal. Just to name a few highlights... - The lodge porch became the perfect gathering place for our immediate family during the rehearsal. - The barn transformed into the most fun and lively after‑party spot. - The lawn offered a peaceful escape with a quiet bonfire and s’mores for guests who wanted to unwind under the stars. Being able to stay on the property turned our wedding from a single day into a full, immersive experience—one we will never forget. Laurel Falls became the perfect “home” for the start of our new chapter together.
