Zimmerwald Estate Barn and Grainery LLC was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! The communication with the owners was pretty good, and they were best reached by phone. From the moment we first visited, we knew this was the perfect place - the venue is absolutely gorgeous and so spacious, our guests never felt crowded. The owners and managers are the most friendly, generous people, and they went above and beyond to make our day everything we wanted. They were so helpful and kind, offering to assist with a lot and being attentive to the bride's needs. They even offer event planner services, Katie, she was wonderful and offered great advice on setting up the venue.

About 8 years ago, I had just joined Rock Barn Country Club & Spa. My sister asked me to "do" her wedding for her. The search for the venue was painful! Every place we visited charged thousands for the venue BEFORE we had ordered any food, beverage or decorations. Plus, we needed a small space - only 25 guests! Rock Barn was different. We did not pay for the space, only the food and beverage, taxes and gratuity. We even had a bar with a qualified bartender! I met with the team at RB and we had everything planned out in just a few minutes. I did my own decorations - because that is what I do - the ceremony, dinner reception, and pictures by the waterfall and covered bridge for 25 people was less than 2400 all in! I knew what a wonderful value this was for the bride and groom as they were on a budget. Since then, I am now the events coordinator at Rock Barn and I love every minute of what I do. I enjoy working with brides and grooms who are on that budget and need the spend to make sense! Let me help you too.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
