This venue is the most amazing venue I toured while planning. It’s was absolutely stunning and everything I wanted in a venue. The venue coordinator is very nice, however, at times it was very difficult to get in touch with her. 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. I also loved that I had to option to bring all of my decor and vendors. My overall experience was a good one. My wedding was beautiful and everything turned out great.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Village Pine Venue. Due to the hurricane damages in NC, I had to completely replan our wedding 10 days before it happened. Melissa from Village Pine was eager to help us out and quickly helped us get booked and started on choosing new vendors. Village pine is an absolutely beautiful venue with a wonderful space for all things (bridal getting ready, grooms getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc.). This venue is a stunning space with outrageously helpful staff and I am so glad to have had my wedding here. I cannot recommend them enough.

We truly could not have chosen a more perfect wedding venue! From the moment we arrived, every single detail was absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully taken care of. The decorations, setup, and overall atmosphere exceeded every expectation we had. Everything was flawless. What made the experience even more special was our coordinator, Madalyn. She went above and beyond the entire day and truly felt like my best friend by the end of it. She made everything stress-free, kept everything running smoothly, and cared so deeply about making our day perfect. I honestly cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us. Every staff member we encountered was so kind, welcoming, fun, and genuinely excited for us. Even the bartender joined in on the fun and was out on the dance floor celebrating with us! You can truly tell everyone there loves what they do. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we are forever grateful to this amazing venue and staff for making it so unforgettable.

The team at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always punctual and they went above and beyond to ensure we were informed and accommodated throughout the planning process. The venue itself is truly stunning, with beautifully manicured grounds, vibrant florals, and well-kept facilities. Our ceremony on the Four Seasons Lawn and reception in the Great Hall were both picture-perfect, and our guests raved about the elegant cocktail hour in the Crepe Myrtle Grove. The bridal and groom's suites were an added bonus that allowed us to comfortably get ready on-site. Special shout-out to Monica, who was amazing and made our day run seamlessly.
