“We had our wedding here, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. Lesley, the owner, is so kind and thoughtful. When a last-minute hiccup happened with our welcome wall, she hand-painted it herself — just to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. We are so grateful! She was there the whole time checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Our family stayed in the cutest, coziest cabins — everyone loved them! Throughout the weekend, the staff were so helpful and attentive. The staff members and Lesley picked us up in golf carts and drove us wherever we needed to go, which made everything feel effortless. The vineyard itself is breathtaking — it was the perfect backdrop for our wedding, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful it all was. It was everything we hoped for and more.”

“Emerald Ridge made every part of our weekend so perfect and special. This location and views are absolutely STUNNING. The owners truly cared so much and made our day magical. Their organization and communication are both top notch. We recommend using the coordinator at the venue, Malorie, as she was the true MVP and knows every detail at this venue back to front. We booked the no rush weekend and used the venue for our rehearsal as well. Our dog stayed with us all weekend as well which made us feel right at home. All in all we couldn’t be happier and enjoyed every minute here.”

“Laurel Falls was the wedding venue of our dreams. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in the best hands—Kristen is truly a dream to work with. She brings an energy that every couple deserves on their wedding journey: enthusiastic, flexible, incredibly kind, and the ultimate hype woman. Her support made the entire experience feel effortless and joyful. The venue itself is breathtaking. Nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Laurel Falls offers a natural backdrop that complements any style or vision. Its historic charm is intentionally preserved and beautifully maintained, creating a setting that feels both intimate and timeless. One of the things we loved most was how the property allowed us to shape our day in a way that felt deeply personal. Just to name a few highlights... - The lodge porch became the perfect gathering place for our immediate family during the rehearsal. - The barn transformed into the most fun and lively after‑party spot. - The lawn offered a peaceful escape with a quiet bonfire and s’mores for guests who wanted to unwind under the stars. Being able to stay on the property turned our wedding from a single day into a full, immersive experience—one we will never forget. Laurel Falls became the perfect “home” for the start of our new chapter together. If you’re looking for a venue that is stunning, secluded, thoughtfully maintained, and supported by a team that genuinely cares, Laurel Falls is everything and more.”

“I could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, Stony Woods exceeded all our expectations. The location is absolutely stunning—set on a private maountain, it offered both breathtaking views and an elegant atmosphere that truly made our special day unforgettable. The venue itself was awesome, with plenty of space for our ceremony and reception. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were incredibly accommodating and helpful, offering suggestions and guidance that made the day even more flawless. We received countless compliments from our guests about the venue. It’s the kind of place that feels both intimate and grand, perfect for creating lasting memories. Stony Woods provided the flexibility we needed to personalize our celebration, and we were able to bring our dream wedding to life with ease. We were able to make a weekend of it with our family and friends staying at the treehouses. It truly was the perfect setting for our big day, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.

“The Farm was an incredible wedding venue that exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we started planning, the staff was incredibly helpful, communicative and great to work with. They guided us through every step of the process, from brainstorming our initial ideas to finalizing the perfect menu. The space itself was amazing - the flow and layout allowed for so many cozy little nooks and seating areas for our guests to gather and mingle.

Bent Creek Lodge

“We got married at Bent Creek Lodge on 8/6/22 and rented out the whole lodge and the Luhn house for ourselves and our guests for the weekend. It was extra special that we were able to get married here, because we actually stayed here the weekend we got engaged as well! It meant so much that we were able to return and share the experience with our loved ones. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was one of the most magical weekends of our lives, and it would not have been possible without Randy, Linda, and the rest of the amazing Bent Creek Lodge crew! The all-inclusive wedding package made it so insanely easy for us to have a top-tier wedding with minimal fuss and headaches on our part. We had our venue, lodging for all of our guests, officiant, catering, cake, beer and wine, and flowers all in a one-stop shop which made everything so much easier. The only things we chose to coordinate with outside vendors was the photography, DJ, and hair and makeup. Randy and his crew handled everything else, and they did an excellent job on all of it. All of the food was incredible, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our guests with special dietary needs. The flowers and cake were beautiful, and Randy did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. Just about every single guest came up to us at least once during the weekend to gush about what an amazing time they were having, and several approached us afterwards to tell us it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. The entire crew really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and like family. Bent Creek Lodge will always have an extra special place in our hearts, and we couldn't be more grateful.”

The lodge IS a remote mountain get-a-way. You can hike secluded trails right out your room door; within a half mile, you can start your drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, visit the North Carolina Arboretum or launch a canoe on the French Broad River to float by the Biltmore Estate. It is only a short 15 minute drive to the fine restaurants, galleries, and shops in downtown Asheville, downtown Hendersonville, Biltmore Village, and the entrance to the Biltmore Estate.

“If I were to tell you my true feelings about Twisty Maple and event manager Jessie, you would probably think I'm obsessed and I would probably run out of characters. So read this review with the idea that I'm working on 50% capacity here. Twisty Maple was absolutely, positively the best venue my partner and I could have picked to host our family and friends for a wedding ceremony and celebration. It felt like a home away from home, not only because my family set up shop and stayed in the house for a week leading up to our wedding; but also because of the warmth and care that guests can feel built into every inch of the place. My partner and I chose Twisty as our venue as soon as we had a virtual call and tour with Jessie, before we had even seen the space in person. We we so immediately at ease with Jessie, who already felt like a family friend, and could tell that she cared deeply about the home and property. Jesse and the Twisty team genuinely want to share the space with folks, evidenced by a willingness to host atypical activities (I was at one point convinced I wanted an on-site smoker for a whole hog and Jessie was totally game) and offering of a garageful of event decor at no cost (including signage, bud vases, candle holders, baskets, barrels, and SO much more). Leading up to the big day, Jessie graciously offered her contact information to my and my partner's moms for any logistical questions related to the home rental, which helped enormously in saving time and stress. We were greeted by a welcome sign with the names of family members staying at the home and a thoughtful gift basket with goodies for my partner and I, including keepsake Twisty Maple mugs which are adorable. It was so great to have the space leading up to our event for family time and DIY-ing and resting. I am so grateful to Jessie for sharing Twisty Maple with my family and friends. The space will forever hold such a special space in my heart and I hope you, dear reader, have the opportunity to make unforgettable memories here too.”

“My husband and I just got married at Laurel Ridge last weekend and I could not possibly do their team justice in one review, but I will try my best. Holly and Ariel were absolutely wonderful to work with from our first walkthrough. They are kind, communicative, and incredibly helpful. Every part of the wedding planning process was so easy with this team. The food was absolutely incredible, bar staff and servers were incredibly kind, and Holly and Ariel worked with our vendors to ensure that our day was perfect - and it truly was. If you are looking for a venue that will take your breath away, do yourself a favor and set up a walkthrough here. The views are beautiful and each reception space is ideal. We had our ceremony at the arbor and our reception at the pavilion, but if we had to move inside for the rain, I would have still been thrilled. So many of our guests had stated that they looked at pictures of the venue before attending and were still awestruck when they stepped onto the property. We could not possibly be more grateful for Laurel Ridge Country Club and its team for giving us the most wonderful wedding day.”

“We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to host our wedding at Serenity Ridge! We chose this venue because we wanted a beautiful mountain setting in NC where our family and friends could stay on property, and Serenity Ridge exceeded all our expectations. One of the things that set it apart is that the property is exclusively yours all weekend, making the experience private and completely focused on your event. Serenity Ridge is an incredible value. Their pricing is more of an “all-inclusive” model, covering the venue rental, lodging for 30 guests, catering, bartending, setup & cleanup, rentals... you name it. When you consider everything included, the cost is unbeatable — and it makes planning so much easier! The team at Serenity Ridge was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the planning process. Haley answered all my questions with patience and kindness (and there were a lot!), providing great vendor recommendations and guidance along the way. On the wedding weekend, the staff was flexible, accommodating, and attentive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. From exceptionally clean lodging to early and late check-ins, they truly go above and beyond for their guests. We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and wedding at Serenity Ridge, and the food was nothing short of amazing. Our guests are still raving — it’s not just “good wedding food,” it’s incredible restaurant quality. The staff during the events was also incredible. When rain started just 20 minutes before our ceremony, they quickly moved everything inside and then seamlessly flipped the pavilion from ceremony to reception in no time during cocktail hour without impacting the guest experience. Despite the brief rain, the day went perfectly, and we were rewarded with stunning sunset views later in the evening. I cannot say enough good things about Serenity Ridge, the location, and the staff. They truly care about their couples and strive to make your vision a reality. Hosting our wedding here was the best decision we made!”

“I had the immense pleasure of getting married at Smithmore Castle during the enchanting winter season, and I can confidently say it was a truly magical experience deserving of a full five stars. From the moment we arrived, the castle exuded an air of timeless elegance and charm, wrapped in a pristine blanket of snow that made the entire setting feel like a fairy tale. The grandeur of Smithmore Castle is matched only by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, allowing us to focus on celebrating our love.

The roaring fireplace added a cozy ambiance, making the atmosphere both romantic and intimate. The castle’s historic architecture provided a breathtaking backdrop for our vows, creating memories that we will cherish forever. Our reception was equally spectacular. The dining experience was exceptional, with a gourmet menu that delighted all of our guests. The castle’s chef crafted a winter feast that was both elegant and delicious, catering to all dietary preferences with ease. The staff's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the meal, from the beautifully set tables to the exquisite presentation of each dish.

“This venue was truly a wonderful experience! It is nestled into the smoky mountains away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You truly get an experience of getting away! The cabin was wonderful, and the land is truly beautiful. We had our wedding there in mid November. The venue itself was great too! It all being together was very helpful. We had 43 people, and it fit the venue perfectly. The vendor was really wonderful to work with. They were very kind, and incredibly helpful. We really loved working with them. If you’re interested in this venue, definitely reach out to them. We highly recommend this venue and cabin. We will always cherish some memories made here.”

The Grand Sojourn

Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)

“From the moment we reached out to The Grand Sojourn, the team was incredibly friendly, proactive, and communicative about all the details. Their communication style made the entire booking process a breeze. On the day of our wedding, the views of Mount Leconte were absolutely breathtaking - the photos turned out incredible. The venue itself was spacious and provided excellent value for what we paid. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up perfectly for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and highly recommend The Grand Sojourn to any couple looking for a stunning mountain backdrop for their celebration.”
