Molly's Lakeside by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was transparent, personable, and hardworking, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and venue was truly exceptional - the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, with a lush green landscape and open spaces that created the perfect backdrop for our special day. Hannah, our coordinator, was a gem to work with. You could tell she has a real passion for what she does, and her great customer service and ability to be personable won us over, even when we were initially hesitant. She broke everything down for us in a way that was easy to understand, and painted a clear picture of what the renovations would look like. If it weren't for us just wanting to get a better head count, we definitely would have signed everything the same day! We feel so grateful to have worked with Molly's Lakeside and look forward to working with them again soon.

Truly the most beautiful venue and so much care goes into each thing they do! From the very start, everything was perfect! The food is absolutely amazing, all of our guests have been talking about it; neither one of us even like cake, but we loved theirs!! The entire property is gorgeous and meticulously cared for, they even grow ingredients there for the freshest best tasting meals. Communication was fantastic, they were on top of everything, and executed it extremely well. The entire team was so kind, helpful and professional but still so fun to have around! Haley and Kate singlehandedly saved the ceremony when we realized halfway through the rings never made it out of the house, they were already on it and running them down for us! We cannot say enough how much we adored everyone there and how just wonderful everything was! We highly recommend them!

It has taken me way too long for me to write this review, especially considering the fact that I think about Mountain Brook Vineyard every single day. (I’m not kidding, not a day goes by where I don’t think about Rebecca, the team, and the wine!) My husband and I visited 22 venues in North Carolina alone (we called it a “Holy Matrimony Mega Tour”) As a sommelier, choosing a place that has stand-out wines and a local terroir was essential for me. Dave Coventry is absolutely slaying—no kidding, this is some of the best wine that the East Coast has to offer. Rebecca runs a very tight ship and is not messing around when it comes to planning what many consider to be the best day of their lives (and our wedding was absolutely the best day of our lives, thanks to Rebecca). She went above and beyond in her communication, collaboration, and incorporating romantic personal touches into everything she could. For example, she applied our wedding emblem into our wine tasting cards, which was such a lovely surprise. She got to know our family and friends by name (and remembered their favorite wines!) Everything was so special and well-thought out. Our wedding would not have been anything close to as iconic as it was without Mountainbrook Vineyard. Every time we gather with people who attended, we hear something along the lines of “your wedding was the best wedding I have EVER been to!!” We have to agree Choosing to have our wedding at Mountainbrook was truly one of the best choices my husband and I have ever made. It marked the beginning of the countless choices we will make as a married couple, and seriously gave us a feeling of confidence and assuredness—a few of the many unforeseen blessings that Mountainbrook bestowed on us and our relationship. To all future couples considering celebrating your love at Mountainbrook: congratulations, you have stumbled upon one of the most spectacular hidden gems that Western NC has to offer! If you are dreaming of getting married at a venue that is unique, beautiful, and sees and honors you for who you are, look no further, this is the place for you! Now go meet Rebecca and taste their wines!!

From the moment we started planning with The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek, Rebecca and her team made us feel like our wedding was their priority. They were excited and thoughtful in every conversation, always willing to brainstorm design ideas with us and help us bring our vision to life. When our original DJ cancelled last minute, Rebecca stepped in and helped us find a replacement so quickly that we barely missed a beat. On the day of the wedding, they handled all the setup and teardown, which took so much stress off our shoulders. What really impressed us was how affordable everything was—their all-inclusive packages meant no surprise fees or hidden costs. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek gave us a beautiful venue and an incredible team to match, and we couldn't recommend them more highly to couples looking for an honest, caring venue.

10/10 experience with the Redbird Ridge team and venue! Our wedding was on a Saturday and we also rented out the Cabin and Farmhouse for our bridal party to stay in and well as using the covered pavilion for our rehearsal dinner. Staff: Alisa was so communicative the entire process! Any questions I had, she had a quick and helpful answer. It truly felt like her and her team were there to make our day a dream come true. Even the golf cart drivers were so sweet and just added that extra touch to the day! Rehearsal Dinner: The covered Pavilion was a great space to host our rehearsal dinner. We did have a bigger group, coming in at about 60 people. We were able to seat everyone and have room for buffet tables, though it was a tighter fit. The addition of electricity and a speaker/mic made speeches a breeze. (note: the pavilion is up a tiny hill so any decor/food/coolers will have to be carried up, just fyi.) Wedding Day: The Main Hall was plenty of room for our 100 guests, we even covered the connected Terrace with a rental tent in case of rain or harsh sun. The tables, tablecloths, and chairs fit our clean white aesthetic and all decorations borrowed from the venue were in great shape and super convenient to have on site and ready for us. The open Meadow provided the most gorgeous back drop for our end of May ceremony. The mountains greenery was in full bloom and truly brought the photos to life! It was very nice that the venue provided 2 limo style golf carts to transport our guests from ceremony to reception to parking. (note: it does take a bit of time to transport that many guests so be sure to budget time for transportation for your guests before ceremony/reception start.) The entrance and parking situation seemed to be confusing for the guests and vendors. There are technically 3 entrances, one for the private farmhouse, one for vendors (by request) and then the main entrance for guests and parking. Even though we sent out a map to our guests/vendors, the entrances are within a curve so they are hard to see until you get there. I feel like signage with more contrast could help this issue but overall it worked out. Farmhouse: My bridesmaids and I stayed in the farmhouse the night before the wedding. Alisa and her husband were so welcoming, even letting us sit in their kitchen floor to play with their new litter of kittens. The rental access includes the upstairs portion which was plenty of room for us 6 girls. There were 3 full bathrooms we were able to use. We never felt as we were in someone else's space as the house was partitioned off well between rental and living spaces. Cabin: This was probably my favorite part of the property. This cute little old (but very updated) cabin hosted the groomsmen the night before and then my husband and I the night after. There is a full kitchen so the boys were able to cook dinner. We even had our two dogs stay here with us! 6 guys were able to sleep upstairs where there is also a half bath. The only full bath is downstairs in the master bedroom. The beds were super comfy and the fenced in backyard was so nice to have onsite! Just beware that the cabin is off in a woodsy area so there is wildlife/aka watch your pets!! The conditions were good so the venue did let us host a small fire in the backyard fire pit to roast marshmallows which was the perfect end to the night. (note: the upstairs ceilings are quite low so if you are over 6 foot, you might have to duck a tiny bit.)

I had my dream wedding at Meadowview Events. This is a gorgeous venue in a beautiful location with an outdoor ceremony site, separate cocktail hour location, and a large reception space. The venue also offers ample space in both the bridal and groom suites and an extensive list of approved vendors that was very helpful as we started planning our big day. We chose not to have a wedding planner, but the venue does require a day-of coordinator. They will provide this service, but there are certainly some particularities that they have about the venue, so I would recommend asking questions about everything you are planning to ensure if meets their requirements and advocate for what you want. I was told a handful of times that what I wanted “wasn’t what was typical” but once I advocated for it, there was no issue making my vision come to life. There were some times I felt like the need to question and advocate for what I wanted led to added stress during the planning process, but nothing too extreme to not make it worth having our day at this beautiful space. After months of planning, the day of staff was very attentive and worked well with family and vendors to ensure everything was in place and taken care of and that our day ran smoothly. As you plan your special day at this venue, make sure to discuss, ask questions, and advocate for your vision with the owner to ensure that your vision becomes a reality while staying within the requirements and guidelines of the venue. In the end, Meadowview Events helped us have the wedding and reception I had always dreamed of – it was the perfect setting for the perfect day!
