Rosa Lee Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding. Their communication was very quick, whether by email or text, which was so helpful during the planning process. Everything was clean and organized, and the price was very reasonable compared to other places, especially considering all that they offer. They made everything so smooth for us on the day, and we even got a complimentary breakfast basket! It was so convenient that they had a house on the property where we could have both our ceremony and reception. The house sleeps 12, so our bridal party was able to stay with us and get ready there as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day.

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.

Sky Retreat was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From start to finish, their communication was quick, easy, straightforward, and clear, making the planning process a breeze.

I truly have nothing but wonderful things to say about this venue, the staff, the accommodations, and their professionalism and attention throughout the whole year long engagement! Rachel, the manager, is extremely attentive, communicative, professional, kind, and helpful! Anytime I had a question throughout the year, she was very quick to answer thoroughly. She is very flexible with coordinating meetings and walk-through with vendors at the venue and thorough in explaining all the venue has to offer for wedding day (which is a lot!) On the wedding day, having a staff member present at all times is so helpful and comforting. And including the provision and set-up of tables and chairs is HUGE! This eliminated so much stress. The bar staff was also very friendly and accommodating on wedding day with meeting my requests for set-up. And of course, the photo ops at this venue are truly endless and the beautiful options for ceremony and reception set-up are amazing. The big space is exactly what we needed for our big wedding and we never felt crowded. The dance floor was the perfect size for our all night party! I truly couldn’t be happier with my decision to get married at this venue for all the reasons listed above.

I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!

The venue itself if beautiful - we picked it partly because of the gardens outside since we love the outdoors and love spending time at our local arboretum. The catering was amazing as well - Chef Joey and Chef Brit take time to learn what you and your partner like and can put those spins on dishes you choose. The value is also great for the Western North Carolina area.

There is no staff to cover if she happens to be out of the office (which made it stressful as it closer to my wedding). Overall, I would recommend this venue for any celebration.

At every step in our planning process Alexis and Brock were so kind and accommodating with addressing any concerns or questions we had. Everything about our day was beautiful, everything ran smoothly and the spaces the Parker Mill provided were perfect for our needs. If you are considering the Parker mill at all go on a tour! The moment we stepped foot on property we knew this wedding venue would be perfect, and we hope you do too! We cannot recommend the Parker Mill more!

PINE was an amazing venue for our wedding. The team was friendly, helpful, and responsive to all of our questions. The open and airy space was flooded with natural light, creating a beautiful, modern backdrop for our day. I enjoyed being able to personalize the venue space and bring our vision to life. While the venue pricing didn't include a lot of additional things (i.e. room set up/flip, room design, decor, coordination is all extra) , it was still worth the cost and has so many amazing spots for photos! The vibes are amazing and the bridal suite is fantastic for getting ready! We loved celebrating our special day at this venue!

I'm a professional photographer in the wedding industry in Wilmington, and I've known the owner Kelly for awhile now. We have worked together before for many photo shoots, styled shoots, etc. and she is ALWAYS a dream to make a vision come to life with. And now that she owns Maven Monroe, it's even BETTER. The space itself is stunning, and the perfectly clean, white space (photographers love this) with natural light available, it's an absolute pleasure to work in. And I LOVE that there's even TWO getting ready spaces on the property, and soon-to-be a back patio, too!! Don't hesitate to book Maven Monroe not only for the stunning venue, but also for the joy of working with Kelly. She will make alllllllll your dreams come true.

First, it’s beautiful. We did our ceremony at a Catholic church down the street and had our reception at the Rafters, but my favorite photos are by far the ones we took in front of the St Mark’s chapel- it’s so romantic! As a reception venue, it is very reasonably priced, and has everything you could need. We got ready in the adorable carriage house, and we also did my bridal shoot there a few weeks before the wedding- they turned out beautifully. Also, if you book with their caterer (The Flyin’ Lions), you get a discount AND support a good cause! But that’s not even the best part: their food is AMAZING. I am literally still dreaming about the salmon and mashed potatoes from my wedding day, and so many guests told me how much they loved the food. The taste testing was fun too, they have a ton of options! Also, Allison is the best coordinator EVER. You will love working with her, and every vendor I hired that had worked with her before told me the same thing! She is so personable and really gets to know you, and she will bend over backwards to help you with whatever you need. She is fantastic with communication; her responsiveness and helpfulness alone reduced my wedding planning stress. I also loved the preferred vendor list Allison provided; it made it a lot easier to narrow down our vendor choices! Allison and Debbie (from Flyin’ Lions) made our wedding and all the months leading up to it so special and wonderful; we cannot recommend them enough!
