My husband and I chose Carolina Country Weddings And Events as our venue, and we could not have been happier with our decision. Throughout the planning process, they were frequently in communication with kind and thoughtful suggestions to ensure everything ran smoothly. They handled all the behind-the-scenes details on our big day - even setting up our flowers for us - allowing us to relax and soak in every magical moment. With multiple scenic ceremony locations and venue options onsite, including housing for guests, Carolina Country provided a gorgeous, natural backdrop for our wedding festivities.

Rosa Lee Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding. Their communication was very quick, whether by email or text, which was so helpful during the planning process. Everything was clean and organized, and the price was very reasonable compared to other places, especially considering all that they offer. They made everything so smooth for us on the day, and we even got a complimentary breakfast basket! It was so convenient that they had a house on the property where we could have both our ceremony and reception. The house sleeps 12, so our bridal party was able to stay with us and get ready there as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day.

Communication with Danna was incredible from start to finish. She always responded quickly, answered all of our questions, and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is stunning—the wooded area with the lake backdrop was the perfect setting for our ceremony. One of the things that made our experience extra special was having our wedding party stay in the cabins for the entire weekend. Everything was set up and ready for our guests, and we were able to use all the kitchenware and amenities, which made hosting so easy. Having access to the entire property truly set Klondike Cabins apart, especially since so many venues don’t offer that—let alone at such a great price. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate at Klondike Cabins. The beauty of the grounds combined with the time spent surrounded by our closest friends and family made it all unforgettable.

Wedding planning was not as stressful because I had so much help from venue host and coordinators, even tho I live in another state. The venue was so beautiful during the summer time! Everything was green and blossoming, a bit on the warmer side, but the openness of the reception area allowed breeze to cool us off. The bridal suite was such a dream!! There was enough space for the hair & makeup artists, bridesmaids, mothers, and grandmothers to get ready. The grooms quarters were also spacious and allowed for bonding time before the ceremony.

First, it’s beautiful. We did our ceremony at a Catholic church down the street and had our reception at the Rafters, but my favorite photos are by far the ones we took in front of the St Mark’s chapel- it’s so romantic! As a reception venue, it is very reasonably priced, and has everything you could need. We got ready in the adorable carriage house, and we also did my bridal shoot there a few weeks before the wedding- they turned out beautifully. Also, if you book with their caterer (The Flyin’ Lions), you get a discount AND support a good cause! But that’s not even the best part: their food is AMAZING. I am literally still dreaming about the salmon and mashed potatoes from my wedding day, and so many guests told me how much they loved the food. The taste testing was fun too, they have a ton of options! Also, Allison is the best coordinator EVER. You will love working with her, and every vendor I hired that had worked with her before told me the same thing! She is so personable and really gets to know you, and she will bend over backwards to help you with whatever you need. She is fantastic with communication; her responsiveness and helpfulness alone reduced my wedding planning stress. I also loved the preferred vendor list Allison provided; it made it a lot easier to narrow down our vendor choices! Allison and Debbie (from Flyin’ Lions) made our wedding and all the months leading up to it so special and wonderful; we cannot recommend them enough!

My husband and I got married here in the middle of December 2025. Our original venue had to cancel in late August of 2025 and we were scrambling to find a place that had our date available, a good reputation and an atmosphere that we both needed. My husband stumbled across the 1932 Barn and within a day we were invited to tour. Upon arrival we met Kristina, who is SUCH A DELIGHT! She answered all of our questions and went the extra mile to make this happen for us. Michelle was our coordinator and throughout the couple of months leading up to our wedding, she did all she could to ease our minds and help us plan the wedding of our dreams. Her and Sarah were our coordinators day of and let me tell you, they were born for this job. My husband and I were both so nervous and they were there to make sure everything went according to plan. We truly had a wedding that was more magical than we could have ever imagined. The staff are kind, generous and down to earth. They care about the families that come and go. I would recommend this venue 100/10!
