The Catlett Farm was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. The rustic charm of the barn, coupled with its simple elegance, created a stunning backdrop that required minimal decoration. The decor closet was a lifesaver, saving us both time and money. The open houses were incredibly helpful in our planning process. The entire Catlett Farm team was exceptional. Their communication was top-notch, the planning spreadsheet was a valuable tool, and their staff was fantastic to work with. Their professionalism and helpfulness made our entire wedding experience truly unforgettable. Our favorite moment was our private dance at the end of the night. The feeling of pure joy and satisfaction was indescribable. The venue was beautiful, and our taco truck was a huge hit with our guests. We received countless compliments on both.

So glad we chose The Farm at West Prong Acres to be our wedding venue! It is absolutely beautiful, and Amy is amazing to work with. We didn’t have a wedding planner/coordinator and she stepped in and helped wherever she could. The venue had plenty of space to host our 100ish guest wedding and the airbnb was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in. We were able to be creative and have the wedding of our dreams, I wish I could add all of the photos but Zola won’t let me. It was absolutely beautiful and I’m so thankful I used this amazing venue for my wedding day!

I had the immense pleasure of hosting my wedding at Appalachian View LLC in Newland, NC, on August 11, 2024, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth and professional, thanks to the incredible team of Pam and Gracie, who facilitated the operations at the venue. Pam, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure my special day was everything I dreamed of. Her patience, organization, and genuine passion for making every wedding unforgettable were evident in every interaction. She not only offered invaluable advice but also referred me to trusted vendors, making the planning process seamless. I was even able to rent her stunning place settings, which perfectly complemented my wedding theme and were surprisingly affordable! When I finally met Pam in person before the wedding day, she treated me like family—truly making me feel like a daughter. That warmth and care continued throughout the entire experience. On the wedding day itself, everything was executed flawlessly. The venue’s attention to detail, from setup to operations, ensured a stress-free and magical day for my husband and I. The breathtaking property was the perfect backdrop for celebrating with our closest friends and family. The combination of exceptional service, kindness, patience, and compassion, paired with the stunning beauty of Appalachian View, made it a day I will treasure forever. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place to celebrate their love—it’s an absolute gem!

Our wedding at this venue was truly unforgettable. After nearly two years of planning, the day finally arrived and it became the most magical, ethereal celebration we could’ve imagined. From our very first visit, we knew this place was something special, and a huge part of that was Lesley, the venue owner. She made us feel welcomed, valued, and completely equal from the start, something that was heartbreakingly rare for us to find as a two-bride wedding. Her warmth and sincerity were a major reason we chose this space. Throughout the planning process, Lesley was such a steady, supportive presence. Her recommendations from our florist to the chef ended up being everything we hoped for and so much more. It felt like she intuitively understood our vision and connected us with people who brought it to life with care and creativity. One thing we appreciated more than we can express was how she opened up the vineyard and cottages to us even before the wedding letting us enjoy the space, breathe it in, and feel like it was already a part of our story. Those moments made the venue feel like home long before we officially said “I do.” On the wedding day itself, everything was seamless. Her team was calm, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure we could just be present. Not once did we feel stressed every detail flowed naturally, letting us soak in every second of the day we’d spent nearly two years dreaming up. The property is breathtaking in every direction. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was and how smooth the entire celebration felt. We’re endlessly grateful for Lesley and her team, and we truly can’t wait to come back and celebrate anniversaries, milestones, and all the moments ahead in the place that started our forever.

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!

There is a reason that The Finch House is one of our preferred venues and why we have a specially discounted package for couples planning events there. Sure, the venue is beautiful, the food is always amazing (and of course the load-in is much easier than some). But the main reason every one of our staff loves performing there is their people. Andrew and his folks not only go above and beyond to make sure that every detail of the event lives up to and exceeds the couple's expectations, but also helps to create a real team atmosphere with the other vendors involved so that no one loses sight of the true objective: To give each couple an experience they can remember and treasure for a lifetime.

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.
