As the saying goes, you never have a second chance to make a first impression. Legacy Stables & Events ABSOLUTELY NAILED the FIRST IMPRESSION and every opportunity thereafter. No detail is left untouched. From the very first email less than 24 hours after our first inquiry, to the most hospitable tour with complimentary refreshments and the most delightful tour guide, to the planning, the attention to detail with our contract and every request, all the stunning rentals, and execution of our wedding day, EVERY SINGLE MOMENT WAS PERFECT. The level of service and the focus on client and guest satisfaction is like no other. No other venue in the Triad, and we visited them all, no one had the ambiance and the experience like we had at Legacy. The catering was PHENOMENAL, the food was delicious and the catering team was on point. It was the wedding of our dreams, and so much more. We were even honored to meet the owner, and he went above and beyond to ensure we felt like family. It's evident, the staff takes their lead from him. We were so blessed to have this venue host our special day. Legacy has such a big place in our hearts, we want to revisit every year on our anniversary, just to feel the magic again and again. I have chills just thinking back on our day, so perfect, so dreamy, and so beautiful. Thank you Legacy Stables & Events for everything.

Elkin Creek Vineyard was the PERFECT site for our wedding. They helped make our dream day come true even as we experienced an unexpected downpour 15 minutes before the ceremony was to begin. The entire team there made sure we had a fantastic night. We also had our rehearsal dinner as well as stayed property and it was such a delight. We love being able to go back for special occasions over the years and even get to take our daughter to our favorite winery!

From the moment we booked Redbird Ridge Estate for our wedding, the staff were readily available, kind, and extremely helpful. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a modern and inviting atmosphere that made our special day feel so warm and personal. They were able to fulfill my request to rearrange some of the furniture to better suit our needs, and even allowed me to rent a tent to cover the back deck so my caterer could easily set up and tear down our dinner buffet. The only downside was the lack of a full kitchen, which did make it a bit more challenging for the catering team. But overall, Redbird Ridge Estate went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect, and I'm so grateful we chose this stunning venue.
