My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Riverwood Manor, and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. The lakeside ceremony space exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the natural beauty of the grounds. The ceremony area sits perfectly nestled among mature trees that provide just the right amount of shade and create a magical, intimate atmosphere. The tranquil lake in the background offered a stunning backdrop for our photos. The staff at Riverwood Manor were exceptional from start to finish. Our coordinator, Sarah, guided us through the entire planning process with patience and expertise. On the day itself, the team worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. What truly sets Riverwood Manor apart is their attention to detail. The white ceremony arch was elegantly decorated just as we had envisioned, and the seating arrangement allowed all our guests to feel included in the moment. The natural aisle created by the chairs and trees made for a breathtaking entrance. The reception area was equally impressive, with ample space for dining and dancing. The catering team prepared a delicious meal that our guests are still raving about weeks later. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with professional service, Riverwood Manor delivers on all fronts. Our guests repeatedly told us it was the most beautiful wedding setting they had ever experienced, and we couldn't agree more. This hidden gem provided us with memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

We had our wedding at Catlett Farm in North Carolina, and it was absolutely incredible! The venue is breathtaking, the recommended vendors were fantastic, and even though we planned everything in just one month, Marie (the owner) and her team made the process so easy. Catlett Farm was budget-friendly without taking away from anything we wanted, and our day turned out even better than we imagined.

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!

As a wedding planner, my team experiences a lot of venues and their teams. We really get to know them on a level our clients rarely do. And we've seen our share of situations from a venue standpoint that have been less than great. So when we say that Sky Retreat is amazing, we truly mean it. Obviously - the venue is beautiful. It's clean. It's modern yet moldable to any design. It's a stunning view. But the team is also really responsive, actively present on your wedding day, and very helpful to the whole team! Highly Recommend, and can't wait for our next wedding there! Attached are some photos from our most recent wedding there (10.18.2025, Hannah & Edgar) - photographed by Hailey Hughes Photography.

The Serenity Ridge team was amazing on our special day! We got married just a week after Hurricane Helene hit, and we were devastated thinking our wedding might not happen or be what we had envisioned. Haley, Elliot, Jordan, and Katie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from finding propane tanks to securing the food we needed and staying in constant communication with us. By the grace of God, the power came back two days before the wedding, but Serenity Ridge was prepared even if it hadn’t. The day turned out to be everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot thank the team enough for their hospitality, communication, and kindness throughout the process.

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.

The Emerald Hill was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, their communication was amazing - they were quick to respond and provided all the details we needed without us having to ask. The venue itself is gorgeous, with breathtaking outside views and beautifully decorated indoor spaces.

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.

Highland is definitely the best venue in Asheville! The rooftop has beautiful mountain views, the barrel room has a great skylight and hanging greenery, and the reception space can be made into whatever you want it to be. We used all three spaces for our wedding and it has great flow and plenty of space for a larger guest count. Erin & Bailey were both extremely helpful throughout the entire process from touring/initial questions to all the tiny details leading up to the big day. Our wedding was scheduled shortly after the hurricane in fall 2024, and we were so passionate about having it at Highland that we rescheduled to 6 months later, and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Amazing staff, excellent draft beer, convenient to downtown, and a beautiful space; we can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

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.
