The Fishing Creek supports native trout and other rare small fishes. The waterfall is adjacent to the buildings. There is a hiking trail within the property. There is wetland and much more.

Drumore Mill was an absolutely stunning venue to use for our special day (really weekend). We loved the ease of booking the venue, touring with Thuy, and the promptness and flexibility they offer. An added bonus is the available on site lodging for rental, which we made great use of for our close friends, family, and wedding party to stay in the night before and night of the wedding. We enjoyed the Great Room in the Grist Mill for our rehearsal dinner. Our guests loved how spacious Drumore Mill was, and we appreciated all the attention to detail such as included (but still optional) decor and greenery, and the setup of chairs and other items for the ceremony space. Being able to bring in all of our own vendors at no additional cost was fantastic. The value for renting the property from Thursday to Saturday morning was unmatched and completely worth it. We would recommend Drumore Mill to anyone, and we look forward to booking the property in the future for non-wedding related stays with friends and family.

Melhorn Manor was truly the most incredible, perfect wedding venue. From the first time we met with Allory and Jess, and throughout the entire planning process, we could tell how much they genuinely care about their couples and their events. The venue itself is absolutely incredible. There are two beautiful ceremony space options- we used the outdoor space, an epic cocktail hour space in the old horse stable that is SO cool and unique, and an incredibly large, stunning reception space. There is also another barn that we used for the guys to hang out in, plus an amazing bridal suite and groom’s den. Everywhere you turn, there are gorgeous photo opportunities. The property has the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern elegance, and it gave us exactly the vibe we were hoping for. We also loved the firepit area - we brought supplies for s’mores, had guitar/chill vibes, and it made the night feel even more magical. There were plenty of great places for bars, too. We had one outside and inside during cocktail hour and then used the indoor bar during the reception, and the whole flow worked perfectly. Our guests were literally obsessed. Everyone kept talking about how beautiful, unique, and perfect the venue was. Melhorn Manor is stunning, spacious, well-run, and truly unforgettable- but what makes it even better is that the people behind it are the BEST to work with. We are so grateful we chose Melhorn and would recommend it a million times over.

Gianna Paredes was my contact and she was excellent. Kept me on time, researched answers to my questions, provided calm supportive guidance and, most importantly (for me), responded to everything with quick accuracy. She was present the day of the wedding and helped coordinate all aspects. The BEST! Overall, the location is beautiful with lovely garden spaces. Contacts were provided for those outsourced components—florist (who matched bride’s color choices exactly) and a photographer for a very short notice wedding.

The Stone Mill 1792 was a great place to work at as a wedding photographer. They communicate primarily via email, which was convenient and efficient for us. The quality of their work and value is perfect for vintage lovers, with an audience that are okay with walking through grass and some stairs. They were extremely organized and ready to help with anything we needed. The owners were very kind, personable and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We highly recommend The Stone Mill 1792 to any couple planning their wedding.

CEI was the perfect space for our wedding day! The conservatory was gorgeous and the acoustics were great for our guests to hear the officiant and our vows loud and clear. The outdoor spaces offer a wide variety of photoshoot opportunities. Because the venue manages so many weddings, we felt that our onsite wedding planner was a little frazzled at times. Nonetheless, our day of coordinator did a great job and reassured us that we were in good hands. The day went smoothly and everyone had a wonderful time. The onsite room block at the Inn was a lifesaver and very much appreciated by our out-of-town friends and family.

Look no further than The Booking House. The Booking House was the very first wedding venue we toured and I fell in love instantly. The venue speaks for itself; there is so much character and is such a beautiful venue. The staff are incredible! Brittany is amazing- her communication from the very beginning was prompt and professional, she’s so friendly and I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile on her face. We booked both the day of coordination and in house bartending services and everything was amazing. Emilie was fantastic to work with to help us curate the perfect bar menu for our wedding day and is able to assist with recommendations. Aalea was our day of coordinator and I there are no words for how amazing she is. Whenever someone would ask me about how the wedding was the only thing I could say was “absolutely perfect” and that’s no exaggeration. Aalea and the entire Booking House team were able to fulfill my wedding vision dreams and the entire day went off without a single hiccup ( or at least none that I was ever aware of.) It was truly the most perfect day, with the best team at THE BEST venue.

This review has taken forever to write because there are so many wonderful things we want to say about Historic Ashland. When we first started venue hunting, we spent so much time trying to simply get responses to tour requests. We live over an hour from Wrightsville, and my mother lives two hours away, so trying to schedule a tour without being ignored for days by a venue was starting to seem nearly impossible. When we came across HA, we crossed our fingers and sent a message. We got a response before I could even lock my phone, and a tour scheduled in less than 5 minutes. And that basically describes how the rest of wedding planning went for us thanks to their detailed planning guide, which includes a list of preferred vendors, a rental guide for decorations, a timeline for the wedding day, and more. Leah and Amanda always made themselves available to answer any questions we had. From that moment until our wedding day in October 2024, we knew we were in good hands and couldn’t go wrong with the rest of the decisions we had to make. The property itself is stunning, and it was so nice to have various locations to utilize, from getting ready to all the different ceremony locations. Really our hardest decision was where to have the ceremony. We truly have HA to thank for our wedding planning process being so smooth. The entire HA team went above and beyond to make our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. You hear nightmares about how something always goes wrong on a wedding day. The HA team handled absolutely everything for us. All we had to do was show up. Not one thing went wrong. We still have guests texting us to talk about how beautiful the entire day was. Everything was perfect and we cannot thank Leah, Amanda, and the entire team enough. I will recommend this venue to anyone that wants to listen. I hope someone we know gets married there so we can go back as a guest. Not that we need an excuse to go back because Leah is such a gem.
