Truly the most beautiful venue and so much care goes into each thing they do! From the very start, everything was perfect! The food is absolutely amazing, all of our guests have been talking about it; neither one of us even like cake, but we loved theirs!! The entire property is gorgeous and meticulously cared for, they even grow ingredients there for the freshest best tasting meals. Communication was fantastic, they were on top of everything, and executed it extremely well. The entire team was so kind, helpful and professional but still so fun to have around! Haley and Kate singlehandedly saved the ceremony when we realized halfway through the rings never made it out of the house, they were already on it and running them down for us! We cannot say enough how much we adored everyone there and how just wonderful everything was! We highly recommend them!

There are simply not enough words in the dictionary to describe this venue or the venue owners/coordinators, Coco and Emerson. This venue is pure magic, from the breathtaking views of the mountains, the blueberry bushes leading up to the ceremony space, the blooming flowers, and of course the incredible inside of the house. Coco and Emerson could not possibly have been more helpful, knowledgeable, or kind during our planning process. We received so many glowing compliments about them and the venue all night and have gotten so many calls and texts since then about how incredible the space was. All of the design and florals and setup went off without a single hitch, and their hard work allowed me and my husband and our families to enjoy our day. There isn’t a single thing we would change about our experience. Truly one of the most magical places we’ve ever experienced. Thank you Coco & Emerson, and House Boheme. ️

Laurel Falls was the wedding venue of our dreams. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in the best hands—Kristen is truly a dream to work with.

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.

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.

If I were to tell you my true feelings about Twisty Maple and event manager Jessie, you would probably think I'm obsessed and I would probably run out of characters. So read this review with the idea that I'm working on 50% capacity here. Twisty Maple was absolutely, positively the best venue my partner and I could have picked to host our family and friends for a wedding ceremony and celebration. It felt like a home away from home, not only because my family set up shop and stayed in the house for a week leading up to our wedding; but also because of the warmth and care that guests can feel built into every inch of the place. My partner and I chose Twisty as our venue as soon as we had a virtual call and tour with Jessie, before we had even seen the space in person. We we so immediately at ease with Jessie, who already felt like a family friend, and could tell that she cared deeply about the home and property. Jesse and the Twisty team genuinely want to share the space with folks, evidenced by a willingness to host atypical activities (I was at one point convinced I wanted an on-site smoker for a whole hog and Jessie was totally game) and offering of a garageful of event decor at no cost (including signage, bud vases, candle holders, baskets, barrels, and SO much more). Leading up to the big day, Jessie graciously offered her contact information to my and my partner's moms for any logistical questions related to the home rental, which helped enormously in saving time and stress. We were greeted by a welcome sign with the names of family members staying at the home and a thoughtful gift basket with goodies for my partner and I, including keepsake Twisty Maple mugs which are adorable. It was so great to have the space leading up to our event for family time and DIY-ing and resting. I am so grateful to Jessie for sharing Twisty Maple with my family and friends. The space will forever hold such a special space in my heart and I hope you, dear reader, have the opportunity to make unforgettable memories here too.

Highland Brewing Company was an incredible venue for our Welcome Party from the very beginning, the communication with Erin Winters and Monica Mayville was quick, responsive, and easy to work with. When we had to quickly move our welcome party from New Belgium in February due to the hurricane, the team at Highland Brewing worked with us to get us situated for an April wedding. The spacious venue was perfect for our 99 person welcome party, and the staff was fantastic in helping us execute our special day. The beautiful space and great communication made our wedding day perfect. We highly recommend Highland Brewing Company as a wedding venue.

If you're looking for a breathtaking wedding venue with minimal decision-making, Haiku is for you. My partner and I didn't want a wedding venue that felt too "stuffy" – we wanted to be surrounded by greenery, we wanted the wedding to feel intimate, and we wanted to work with good, kindhearted people. Haiku is all of those things! After our venue tour, I knew Haiku was where we wanted to get married. The space is such a unique and beautiful gem in Asheville, and they make the wedding planning process as easy as possible! Because the space is already so lovely, we barely had to get any additional decor to make it look beautiful. And the people who work at Haiku are amazing! Jennifer was awesome during our venue tour, and she is a visionary when it comes to bringing a wedding to life! The day before the wedding, we had a set of drapes missing from the arbor decor we brought, but the Haiku team took full creative control and the end result was beautiful! Our day-of-coordinator, Kisha, was also amazing! She was responsive, positive, and our BIGGEST hype woman. There was no problem too big or too small for her to handle. Her main priority was making sure we had an amazing, stress-free wedding day – and we did because of her & the rest of the Haiku team!

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!!!!

Weaver House is a gorgeous venue supported by wonderful staff. From the beginning stages of planning to final touches to the day itself, we felt so well-taken care of and supported. The space itself is airy and elegant—both the lush gardens outdoors and the bright indoor spaces are immaculately maintained and feel very private despite being right off the main street of downtown Weaverville. We were looking for an indoor/outdoor location that felt sophisticated without being stuffy, and Weaver House fit the bill perfectly. While the beauty of the venue stands on its own, the team of individuals supporting Weaver House is what made our experience so wonderful. Alexandra was an immensely valuable asset to our wedding planning experience—she celebrates your vision for the day while providing great recommendations and expertly and calmly guiding you through all of the little details. She was a rockstar on our wedding day and made everything run seamlessly. Don't even bother looking for outside catering, because Chef Joey is incredible—he curated a fantastic BBQ dinner that our guests were talking about for weeks. His genuine passion and enthusiasm for food shines through in his cooking and in his collaborative and joyful process to menu planning. We could not recommend Weaver House more!

They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, allowing us to focus on celebrating our love. The ceremony took place in the castle's stunning great hall, which was beautifully adorned with winter-themed decorations. The roaring fireplace added a cozy ambiance, making the atmosphere both romantic and intimate. The castle’s historic architecture provided a breathtaking backdrop for our vows, creating memories that we will cherish forever. Our reception was equally spectacular. The dining experience was exceptional, with a gourmet menu that delighted all of our guests. The castle’s chef crafted a winter feast that was both elegant and delicious, catering to all dietary preferences with ease. The staff's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the meal, from the beautifully set tables to the exquisite presentation of each dish. The accommodations at Smithmore Castle are nothing short of luxurious. Our bridal suite was a haven of comfort and style, offering stunning views of the snow-covered grounds. Our guests were equally impressed with their rooms, each uniquely decorated and equipped with modern amenities while maintaining the castle’s historic charm.

Landon is the kind of wedding coordinator every photographer, vendor, and couple hopes to work with, and I would highly recommend working with him and the Burntshirt Vineyards team for your wedding. From our first interaction when I showed up to walk the grounds before the couple's wedding, he was welcoming, helpful, and totally on top of every detail, and I appreciated that so much. His calm presence on the wedding day allowed the couple, their families, and all of the vendors to truly enjoy the moment. Landon and the team moved around effortlessly to ensure that the timelines were running smoothly and not one detail was missed, all while checking in on everyone and creating a kind and stress-free experience. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Landon and create beautiful imagery for the beautiful couple. I look forward to working with Landon and his team again soon.

Emerald Ridge made every part of our weekend so perfect and special. This location and views are absolutely STUNNING. The owners truly cared so much and made our day magical. Their organization and communication are both top notch. We recommend using the coordinator at the venue, Malorie, as she was the true MVP and knows every detail at this venue back to front. We booked the no rush weekend and used the venue for our rehearsal as well. Our dog stayed with us all weekend as well which made us feel right at home. All in all we couldn’t be happier and enjoyed every minute here.

The lodge IS a remote mountain get-a-way. You can hike secluded trails right out your room door; within a half mile, you can start your drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, visit the North Carolina Arboretum or launch a canoe on the French Broad River to float by the Biltmore Estate. It is only a short 15 minute drive to the fine restaurants, galleries, and shops in downtown Asheville, downtown Hendersonville, Biltmore Village, and the entrance to the Biltmore Estate.

We got married at Bent Creek Lodge on 8/6/22 and rented out the whole lodge and the Luhn house for ourselves and our guests for the weekend. It was extra special that we were able to get married here, because we actually stayed here the weekend we got engaged as well! It meant so much that we were able to return and share the experience with our loved ones. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was one of the most magical weekends of our lives, and it would not have been possible without Randy, Linda, and the rest of the amazing Bent Creek Lodge crew! The all-inclusive wedding package made it so insanely easy for us to have a top-tier wedding with minimal fuss and headaches on our part. We had our venue, lodging for all of our guests, officiant, catering, cake, beer and wine, and flowers all in a one-stop shop which made everything so much easier. The only things we chose to coordinate with outside vendors was the photography, DJ, and hair and makeup. Randy and his crew handled everything else, and they did an excellent job on all of it. All of the food was incredible, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our guests with special dietary needs. The flowers and cake were beautiful, and Randy did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. Just about every single guest came up to us at least once during the weekend to gush about what an amazing time they were having, and several approached us afterwards to tell us it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. The entire crew really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and like family. Bent Creek Lodge will always have an extra special place in our hearts, and we couldn't be more grateful.

The North Carolina Arboretum was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we reached out, their communication was easy, efficient, and quick. The quality of their work and overall value was unbeatable - the natural backdrop was simply beautiful and provided an unbelievable setting for our special day. They made it so easy for us - the chairs and tables were set up elegantly, and the staff guided all of our guests to their locations with such positive attitudes and kindness. The scenery at the Arboretum is absolutely gorgeous and unmatched, and we only needed a simple bouquet to complement the natural beauty around us. We showed up dressed and ready, had an outstanding photographer, and were able to soak in the stunning scenery without needing any excess florals or decor. Everything you could want for a beautiful wedding backdrop exists in nature at the Arboretum.

It has taken me way too long for me to write this review, especially considering the fact that I think about Mountain Brook Vineyard every single day. (I’m not kidding, not a day goes by where I don’t think about Rebecca, the team, and the wine!) My husband and I visited 22 venues in North Carolina alone (we called it a “Holy Matrimony Mega Tour”) As a sommelier, choosing a place that has stand-out wines and a local terroir was essential for me. Dave Coventry is absolutely slaying—no kidding, this is some of the best wine that the East Coast has to offer. Rebecca runs a very tight ship and is not messing around when it comes to planning what many consider to be the best day of their lives (and our wedding was absolutely the best day of our lives, thanks to Rebecca). She went above and beyond in her communication, collaboration, and incorporating romantic personal touches into everything she could. For example, she applied our wedding emblem into our wine tasting cards, which was such a lovely surprise. She got to know our family and friends by name (and remembered their favorite wines!) Everything was so special and well-thought out. Our wedding would not have been anything close to as iconic as it was without Mountainbrook Vineyard. Every time we gather with people who attended, we hear something along the lines of “your wedding was the best wedding I have EVER been to!!” We have to agree Choosing to have our wedding at Mountainbrook was truly one of the best choices my husband and I have ever made. It marked the beginning of the countless choices we will make as a married couple, and seriously gave us a feeling of confidence and assuredness—a few of the many unforeseen blessings that Mountainbrook bestowed on us and our relationship. To all future couples considering celebrating your love at Mountainbrook: congratulations, you have stumbled upon one of the most spectacular hidden gems that Western NC has to offer! If you are dreaming of getting married at a venue that is unique, beautiful, and sees and honors you for who you are, look no further, this is the place for you! Now go meet Rebecca and taste their wines!!
