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. The quality of their work and the overall value was nothing short of beautiful, extraordinary, magical, and truly unique. The staff on site was a delight to work with - they were there all day to help with anything we needed and were always happy to step in and lend a hand. The venue itself was so unbelievably beautiful, and with about 150 guests, the size was perfect. I could not recommend Sky Retreat more highly, and the added bonus of the adorable donkeys and goats was a huge hit with all of our guests!

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!

Rachel was very kind and helpful leading up to the wedding and I loved that all the tables and chairs were set up and taken down for us so all we had to do was decorate. The staff was great, they helped keep everything running smoothly and were prepared with a rain plan and everything. I loved the location, it was easy for the guests to find and there is lots of parking, plus its close to a ton of hotels, the outlets, and both Selma and Smithfield downtown areas.

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!

Rachel and The Farm go hand in hand. From the moment we chose The Farm as our wedding venue, we knew we were in good hands with Rachel. She knows this place like the back of her hand. She has top notch communication, coordination, and personality. From months out to the wedding weekend, Rachel had such thorough plans and high expectations that led to a picture perfect day for us.

We loved having our big day at Weaver House. We used their full planning services and their catering. Alexandra is very easy to work with and is that calming presence on your wedding day! 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. We are so glad we kept our wedding in WNC after Helene and could support a wonderful space that truly wanted our day to be what we envisioned.
