We can't say enough good things about Serenity Ridge! Right from our first visit when they told us to bring our dog along for the tour, we knew this place was special. Who does that?! But that's exactly the kind of thoughtful, genuine people they are. As two brides planning our wedding, we honestly weren't sure what to expect at some venues, but they were all incredible from day one. Not only were they completely welcoming and excited for us, but they went out of their way to accomodate literally everything we asked for. The on-site details to the meals were perfect - they let us customize all the menus, even down to adding a custom salsa bar!! Every time we had a "crazy" idea or special request, they were like "absolutely, let's make it happen!" Never once did we feel like we were being difficult or asking for too much. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and honestly, so much of that was because of this amazing team. If you want people who will actually care about your day as much as you do, book this place. You won't regret it! Thank you for making our day so special - we're still smiling about it!

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 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.
