“I cannot say enough about Caitlyn and her amazing staff! When hurricane Helene destroyed our venue in the mountains, she reached out and told me they could make it happen and assured us it would still be beautiful. The venue alone is stunning! All of the small details you don't think, about they have! Caitlyn hit the ground running as soon as we said yes! She works with the most kind hearted vendors and they stepped in to plan a meal and drinks for our guests. The kind of service and love that they pour into their venue is seen in everything they do. Caitlyn and her team helped with everything from setting up table decor, setting up the food and drink and even held my train as I walked down to the isle. Peep the picture. :) I could only imagine the kinds of weddings that happen at this venue with more time to plan! If you are looking for a full experience wedding that will leave you feeling like you became part of their family this is it! I honestly can't think them enough for how much they came through for us and made a difficult situation the greatest blessing. Pick Legacy at Gregory Downs as your venue and you won't regret it!.”

“There is so much I could say about this venue. Diane and her team are above and beyond amazing. There were so many details I personally overlooked that Diane had solved for me. She had some addressed and handled and I didn’t know until after the fact. I was so caught up in what I thought was important. I missed having a send the bride out que and I would have never known because she coordinated it in the drop of a dime. Her vibe is so laid-back and chill. She’s super communicative and has all her details in order. There were so many personal touches like our last name in places such as the photo frame and inside the honeymoon suite done up and beautiful clothes pins and burlap sign. Beyond the ease of scheduling and planning with Diane, holly moly, can we talk about the beauty of the venue. The white barn with ferns hanging between each beam. Muah, that is chef’s kiss. The doors leading to the isle and whiskey barrels for how you see fit. There were highland cows grazing in the field behind the altar, which were groomed the day prior so they were fluffy and their hair blew in the wind. There were several perfect locations for photos, including waterfall, old cabin, dirt road between the barns and the Mountain View’s of the property. We were graced with the presence of little Fred, a baby Highland cow who did so amazing. We had a lot of younger children on our guest list and little Fred was just chilling. Diane did such an amazing job, especially for the children that may not have been well attended around Fred. She handled it like a champ and that’s above and beyond in itself. I could go on and on. Honestly the more I see wedding pictures from this venue and all the different things they’ve done and added, I want to get married again. In this exact location! It was definitely the country wedding we dreamed of”

“From the moment we booked Camelot Meadows, the team made planning our wedding feel effortless. They were efficient with every detail, always friendly when we had questions, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, they handled everything behind the scenes so my husband and I could just focus on celebrating with our loved ones. The venue itself is a dream—the grounds are immaculate and the picturesque setting gave us exactly the backdrop we'd imagined. Their attention to organization meant the day ran smoothly from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our vision to life.”
