Rina and Shan are absolutely amazing! They worked with us every step of the way and went above and beyond for our wedding. They were so helpful and did everything in their power to make our day perfect! The garden and the house are absolutely beautiful and you can see all the love and effort that went into making the property perfect! They let my now husband run internet to the back yard so we could live stream our ceremony to my grandparents who were not able to make it. They also let our sweet dog participate and be a part of the fun! They truly are fairy god parents and I can not thank them or recommend them enough! Thank you so so much Rina and Shan!

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 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. The accommodations at Smithmore Castle are nothing short of luxurious. Our bridal suite was a haven of comfort and style, offering stunning views of the snow-covered grounds.

The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

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!

Henderson Acres is truly beyond anything we could’ve hoped for with our wedding venue. First their actual outdoor space and house is so beautiful it is straight out of a magazine- picture perfect. The decor and stone within the house is such an elevated look we were in awe of. They are constantly adding things to the space and not to add things you need to pay for but to offer plenty of things for you to enjoy to use during your day. For instance there was several items of decor we used from them that we decided day of to use and the flexibility of that is incredible. They have a reasonably priced furniture package that their venue staff helps set up on wedding day and they have a retractable tent in case of inclement weather. Next the staff is absolutely incredible. Seriously beyond kind, helpful, responsive, and authentically caring. Planning the wedding was a dream with them, and the staff the day of was beyond kind and helpful ensuring the day ran smoothly. An example, we had one guest who was in a wheelchair and had to have an uber come to the venue for pick up/drop off - the staff without being asked drove to the bottom of the driveway waited for the uber and personally escorted them to the top. That kind of hospitality was noticed by our guests who raved about their kindness. I could write about so many more amazing things this venue has to offer. We received countless (truly countless) compliments on this venue and the venue staff - from the beauty of the space to the kindness and authentic care everyone felt. Our photographer captured the day perfectly with such beauty and somehow you’re still amazed seeing the space in person. I think there is something special about a family owned business and this venue is a prime example of it! Without a doubt the best decision we made in our wedding planning was booking Henderson Acres after so much searching - couldn’t recommend more!!!!

Weaver House is a gorgeous venue supported by wonderful staff. From the beginning stages of planning to final touches to the day itself, we felt so well-taken care of and supported. The space itself is airy and elegant—both the lush gardens outdoors and the bright indoor spaces are immaculately maintained and feel very private despite being right off the main street of downtown Weaverville. We were looking for an indoor/outdoor location that felt sophisticated without being stuffy, and Weaver House fit the bill perfectly. While the beauty of the venue stands on its own, the team of individuals supporting Weaver House is what made our experience so wonderful. Alexandra was an immensely valuable asset to our wedding planning experience—she celebrates your vision for the day while providing great recommendations and expertly and calmly guiding you through all of the little details. She was a rockstar on our wedding day and made everything run seamlessly. Don't even bother looking for outside catering, because Chef Joey is incredible—he curated a fantastic BBQ dinner that our guests were talking about for weeks. His genuine passion and enthusiasm for food shines through in his cooking and in his collaborative and joyful process to menu planning. We could not recommend Weaver House more!
