I cannot say enough good things about this venue. The place is absolutely stunning. It is a beautiful venue space surrounded by mountain views with the perfect backdrop of grandfather mountain as you say “I do”. Inside the lighting and ceilings were a sight in itself. From day one the staff has been amazing. The Venue Manager, Pam, was easily accessible and prepared to answer any question that I had. She was ready to accommodate whatever I needed and even made the time to let me view my table layout in person because I needed the visual to see if our game-plan could work. The venue coordinator, Gracie, is an absolute doll and just as sweet to work with. I wish I could get married all the time, just so I can visit them at the venue!

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!

My name is Wioletta, but you can call me Viola. I am a professional photographer based in the mountains of North Carolina where I reside with my three children, partner, a Great Pyrenees dog and a Siamese cat. I have a degree in Visual Art, but I have been fascinated by photography since I was 14 years old. I moved to the United States from Poland when I was just 16. I created my first photography business in 2010 where I shot moody and aesthetic self-portraits that I later sold as prints. I also designed logos and CD covers for bands. I created my wedding business, Ethereal Moments Art, in 2018 and ever since it has continued to grow.

Awarded Best of Zola
Getting married in 2020 was not an easy thing to do, so many of our family and friends weren’t able to attend so it was really important to us that we had a photographer that could capture our day in a way that showed our emotions through the pictures. The pictures speak for themselves, even 4 years later they still make me cry. I couldn’t have been happier with how beautiful they turned out, I’m so grateful we have this photos to remember our special day for the rest of our lives.

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day. I take only a handful of wedding clients a year so that I stay fresh and excited. I usually shoot about 30% classic portraiture and 70% lifestyle/photo documentary. I like to tell the story through movement and candid photos, while also taking time to create striking and timeless portraits. I edit all my photos in black and white and color, with a film finish.

Scott with Big R Orchards is phenomenal! He is a joy to work with - professional, positive energy, incredibly kind and gets the job done! He was very responsive and answered all of my many questions throughout the planning process. He also gladly accommodated a few last minute set up changes. Scott was extremely helpful during the ceremony, carting us across the property to get to our spots for ceremony and golden hour. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained. We had a fall wedding and the trees were just gorgeous! The tables, chairs and decore that he provided were exactly as described. The venue structure is awesome and the recent upgrades really elevated the space. Scott’s space is already so beautiful that you really don’t need much in terms of decore. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding venue with natural beauty that won’t break the bank, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, owner or crew to work with!

  • Serves Forest City, NC

Hi. I’m Emily. Mother, wife, and baker. I was diagnosed with psoriasis over 8 years ago shortly before discovering my husband could not tolerate any grains. While this time was rather difficult attempting to maneuver life with “dietary restrictions,” it was also a pivotal moment where I decided to continue making all the things I love (yes I have a sweet tooth). I embarked on an 8 year journey trying all the flours and substitutes in all my cherished recipes. I have found what works without compromising taste and texture. Fast forward three kids later who also deal with dairy, nut and gluten intolerances and I think I have found what works.

We had a full dessert spread at our wedding on Oct 1st at Overlook Barn. Emily went above and beyond to accommodate our guests’ dietary restrictions (vegan / GF) all while keeping the taste and appearance of the desserts! Our guests raved about the cakesicles and everyone went back for seconds! We appreciated her willingness to set up our displays the pickup / dropoff of her trays was extremely simple!

A stone patio adjacent to the barn is where many memories will be made with evening lighting and a built-in bar. A beautiful, wide aisle flows from the cocktail area to the ceremony site. At the end of the aisle, a gorgeous pergola meets you at the pond where you can see and hear the steady stream of the fountain.

From the moment we first reached out to Overlook Barn, their communication was responsive, attentive, and truly amazing. The quality of their work and the value they provided was simply stunning - their luxury barn venue was an absolute showstopper. We knew exactly what to expect from the beginning, and the space was perfectly suited to our needs, with gorgeous views, a warm and cozy ambiance thanks to the fireplace and string lights, and even personalized touches like handwritten letters and mugs delivered to us on our wedding morning.

I am a native of WNC and love living in this beautiful area. I live in a tiny home in Lake Lure NC with my husband, dog and cat. I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding on the lake and traveling. I am a self-help junkie and am always in pursuit of my best me. I love people and love making genuine connections and new friendships.

I genuinely believe that love is love. I will be your advocate and your cheerleader. I’ll be your motivator and organizer. I have had the privilege to help over 130 couples walk down the aisle. I have sewn dresses, stapled pants, spray painted flowers, held hands, cried, laughed, sang, built arbors, washed dishes, served drinks and food, and so much more. I am detail oriented and appreciate finishing touches.

Our experience at The FarmHouse Siloam was spectacular and stress free. Kelleigh, Dee, and the FHS team turned our dream, Pinterest wedding into reality! It doesn't matter what it is, if you have a vision, the FHS team will do their absolute best to make it happen, no questions asked! My wedding weekend started with a bridal party sleepover in the FarmHouse the night before the wedding with special treats provided by the venue, a delicious farm-to-table breakfast, and chair massages to relax before the big day festivities begin. It just gets better from there... While the wedding party is getting ready, the FHS team is turning the venue into your vision that they've planned with you for months, and rest assured that it will be perfect (so Mama's, you don't have to worry!). Everything that you've forgotten in the midst of wedding planning, Kelleigh or Dee has already thought about and got it covered! Not only is The FarmHouse Siloam the most perfect wedding venue in itself, but they connect you with the best vendors in the area... ones that they work with weekend after weekend, so your wedding day is smooth sailing. When it's time for the ceremony to start, you can trust that it will be organized and on time. Dee, the day of coordinator, has it down to a science, and plans out your timeline with you months ahead of time. The reception area is so unique, rustic, and filled with character. It is covered, so you don't have to worry about unpredictable weather, and an intimate space where you can enjoy time with your guests. The grounds are full of beautiful flowers, manicured lawns, and fun games including: corn hole, fire pit surrounded by swings, horseshoes, and life size jenga. I could go on and on about how perfect this place is... every bride deserves to have the experience that the FHS provides. Check this place out and book your wedding here. You won't regret it!!!

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life. Thats why I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

I have worked several weddings with Shannon though out the years. She is very professional and has such a passion for her craftsmanship. I would highly recommend Shannon to be apart in documenting your big day!
