Absolutely breathtaking! Five Stars All the Way!!! Serenity Ridge surpassed all our dreams as a wedding venue, and the owners are nothing short of phenomenal! From the very start of our wedding planning journey, they showered us with their friendly and attentive care, ensuring that every detail was handled with precision and thoughtfulness. Working with Haley was an absolute joy during our pre-wedding preparations. She was incredibly responsive, going the extra mile to provide us with a wide range of options and details while efficiently creating a dream experience that fit seamlessly within our budget. When our wedding weekend finally arrived, they went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations in every way! Their communication and assistance throughout the weekend remained prompt and attentive, alleviating any potential stress along the way. Everything was flawlessly set up and meticulously cleaned afterward, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in soaking in every moment of our special day and the entire weekend. The venue itself is a slice of paradise. The awe-inspiring mountain views provided a spectacular backdrop for both our ceremony and reception! Even with a rainy day, the Hilltop house was a perfect and cozy gathering spot for our intimate group of 30 guests. Saturday morning's hike on the property's trails added an extra touch of adventure without ever having to leave the property. A few of the evenings were really chilly mountain nights, and the fire pavilion was a perfect spot to continue the celebrations, complete with good music and endless hours of laughter. Every corner of Serenity Ridge is impeccably maintained, showcasing its charm and beauty at every turn. And let's not forget about the food! The catered reception dinner was an absolute hit, leaving our guests raving and satisfied with every dish served. The cherry on top? Serenity Ridge offers short-term stays in their yurt, six cabins, or the Hilltop house, making it the perfect spot for future anniversary celebrations. We cannot sing their praises enough; this venue is an absolute gem, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have celebrated our special day in such a magical and unforgettable place.

Awarded Best of Zola
This is hands down the best venue in the blue ridge mountains (coming from an Ashe County local couple)!! This venue is so stunning and needs minimal decoration to make it feel elegant and classy but still have a relaxed atmosphere. Paula is filled with so much wedding knowledge and provides a list of recommended vendors, which would be great for those who are not local. Paula is quick to respond to texts and calls and always eased my mind. The bridal suite, groomsman room, and honeymoon suite were so convenient to have right on site. The cabin on the farm was clean, spacious, and has everything your family/friends need. Mark, Paula’s husband, works so hard during the week prior to the wedding to maintain the landscaping and beautiful dahlia garden. I would also highly recommend using Caroline Orcutt as your wedding coordinator (add on service). She is beyond organized and makes sure everything runs smoothly the day of your wedding. She is quick to response to emails, texts, and calls. She also gave us tons of suggestions that would fit in our budget. We could not recommend this venue more and thank the Domske’s and Caroline for all they did for us to make our day so special!!

Separk Mansion

5.0

Gastonia, NC
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Separk Mansion is a wedding venue located in Gastonia, North Carolina that is just 20 minutes from Charlotte. This renovated mansion is designed with beautiful weddings in mind and will give you an elegant backdrop that will create a celebration that is full of everlasting memories. Separk Mansion is ideal for both indoor and outdoor weddings. The first floor ballroom retains old vintage hardwood floors and has a ceiling that shimmers with crystal chandeliers. At the front there is a large staircase as well as large front doors that lead to an expansive limestone veranda that can be used for a cocktail hour. This impressive estate was built in 1919 by textile mogul Joseph Separk. He lived in the mansion with his wife and son during the 1920s. In 2012 it underwent complete renovation and is currently one of the most popular locations for ceremonies and receptions. The mansion is part of the York Chester Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Separk is one of my top five favorite venues in the Charlotte Area, the on site coordinator Caylea understands the industry and is very flexible for installation times. They reach out before the wedding with detailed floor plan and time line (unless the bride has an outside planner). And the mansion itself is just gorgeous, as a florist I never get tired of finding new ways to create there.

The Legacy at Gregory Downs

5.0

Marshville, NC
  • Up to 220 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

quiet + quaint all inclusive + customize-able secluded + connected and most importantly, a Legacy in itself. Our venue offers public access to the family farm of your wildest dreams. Scenery, options, space, adventure, comfort, grace...you name it. Located just outside Charlotte, NC in the north east corner of Union County. Inspired by out late leader of the family, Gregory Moore - We vow to offer a place he would be proud of. One that cultivates family and thrives off Legacy. We would do anything in this world to have him here with us still, but we know for sure he has held our hand through this whole journey. What great things ever came from our comfort zone, right?

I cannot recommend The Legacy at Gregory Downs anymore if I tried. This venue has come together so beautifully. The open fields, BIG gorgeous trees, a large pond, the layout of the buildings, it’s picture perfect. Caitlyn had a vision and it has come to life. She thought of every detail, making sure there were plenty of options for brides to choose from. Even thinking about what kind of patio they designed to make sure a brides dress and veil wouldn’t snag on the pavers (if that’s not an amazing venue owner idk what is). If you are looking for a wedding venue this is it! Can’t forget it’s also perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, special events and so much more! Look them up, tour the venue, contact Caitlyn, you will FALL IN LOVE!!!

Let us share our special place with you…Tucked away on a mountain top is Winter Wood Farm.

It’s the perfect backdrop for the wedding of your dreams… A day at the farm is soothing to the soul, which is just what every couple needs… and your guests will enjoy this beautiful experience too.

Winter Wood is such an amazing venue. Everyone is so kind and helpful. They really make you feel at home and wanted as a client (unlike some venues I looked at). They are so good at communicating and supporting clients in any way possible. Brooke quickly answered any questions I had. The views are BEAUTIFUL! When I walked in, the venue itself took my breath away. They have a resources page that has all wedding details you would need all in one place (table size, what they supply, vendor recommendations, etc.). This made things so much easier when planning our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue or venue owner! We are blessed to have found this gem, and I always recommend it to anyone planning a wedding!
