We recently stayed at Willow Lodge for our wedding, and it was truly an unforgettable experience . From the very beginning, Siuzanna was so kind and helpful with our reservations, making it easy for us to book 20 rooms for our guests. The manager Linda was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of. Because we reserved a large block of guest rooms, she gave us excellent discounted rates not only for the accommodations but also for the Courtyard and the Club Room. The value was truly unbeatable compared to standard pricing, and it made hosting our wedding celebration with live music and catering even more special. During our stay, the team even assisted with handling out our welcome gifts to arriving guests, which was such a thoughtful touch. The property has wonderful amenities- large refrigerator, and a bar in the Courtyard- which made it easy for us to host catering and celebrate with family and friends. The housekeeping staff were attentive and professional, and we appreciated seeing hotels updates to the rooms- everything felt fresh and welcoming. Willow Lodge helped make our wedding weekend not only smooth and well-organized, but also truly joyful. We are so grateful for the hospitality and highly recommend this venue to everyone.

The Catlett Farm was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. The rustic charm of the barn, coupled with its simple elegance, created a stunning backdrop that required minimal decoration. The decor closet was a lifesaver, saving us both time and money. The open houses were incredibly helpful in our planning process. The entire Catlett Farm team was exceptional. Their communication was top-notch, the planning spreadsheet was a valuable tool, and their staff was fantastic to work with. Their professionalism and helpfulness made our entire wedding experience truly unforgettable. Our favorite moment was our private dance at the end of the night. The feeling of pure joy and satisfaction was indescribable. The venue was beautiful, and our taco truck was a huge hit with our guests. We received countless compliments on both.

Tim and Natalie were super helpful and kind. The venue was pre-decorated for Christmas and we loved it! Anything we needed, we asked them first, and they were happy to share with us: drink dispensers, an easel, even jumper cables for when our car wouldn’t start. They communicated everything clearly and were very friendly to us. The venue is wonderful, clean, and organized. It felt like a Christmas fairytale and we’re so thankful for them!

The English Country Barn of the Carolinas had certainly looked beautiful online, but we immediately found that it was even more incredible in person. During our initial tour with Ian, we became completely enamored by the venue, amazed by the ceremony spaces, the reception and cocktail hour areas, the dressing rooms, and even the abundance of restrooms. We walked down the aisle in The Enchanted Wood and realized it was everything we had been hoping for. Meeting with Teresa, we gained advice, resources, and answers. During the planning process, we visited the venue 4 times and sent countless emails with consistently quick responses. I was surprised, relieved, and grateful that so many items were available for use with no extra charge (decor, signs, tablecloths, speakers, etc). Having venue access for the weekend was a game-changer for us as well, allowing us to set up all day on Friday, rehearse Friday evening, enjoy our Saturday wedding, and pack up to leave Sunday morning without stress or hassle. We even ordered some of Teresa’s homemade macarons and tiramisu shots for our wedding day, and they were absolutely delightful. It was ideal to work with the couple that owns the venue, and it was clear that Ian and Teresa are determined to constantly improve their venue for the benefit of their clients. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and we cannot thank them enough for doing everything they could to make it that way. The English Country Barn is gorgeous, and the owners are superb. Don’t wait to schedule your tour or book your wedding because the ECB is a gem, and you will not want to miss out on your dream wedding.

We got married at Slate & Cypress on October 18th, 2025, and would live in that day forever if it were possible. From the moment we visited S&C and met Andrew & Olga, it was clear that their venue was the right fit for us. The property is stunning, and any updates made during the process have only made it even more beautiful. They have created wonderful partnerships with their in-house services, which made the entire process much easier and lived up to every expectation. Not having to find a caterer or DJ for the event took a lot off our plate from the start. Working with Olga to plan the wedding itself was a wonderful experience, and she eased every concern that we had. As a bride who tends towards ‘Type A’ and gets paid to care about timelines and details, this was the most carefree I have ever been at an event. I didn’t even know what time it was the whole day because I knew Olga (& Andrew) had everything under control. If it is not clear by now, we would recommend Slate & Cypress a thousand times over.
