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.

We can't say enough good things about Serenity Ridge! Right from our first visit when they told us to bring our dog along for the tour, we knew this place was special. Who does that?! But that's exactly the kind of thoughtful, genuine people they are. As two brides planning our wedding, we honestly weren't sure what to expect at some venues, but they were all incredible from day one. Not only were they completely welcoming and excited for us, but they went out of their way to accomodate literally everything we asked for. The on-site details to the meals were perfect - they let us customize all the menus, even down to adding a custom salsa bar!! Every time we had a "crazy" idea or special request, they were like "absolutely, let's make it happen!" Never once did we feel like we were being difficult or asking for too much. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and honestly, so much of that was because of this amazing team. If you want people who will actually care about your day as much as you do, book this place. You won't regret it! Thank you for making our day so special - we're still smiling about it!

There are simply not enough words in the dictionary to describe this venue or the venue owners/coordinators, Coco and Emerson. This venue is pure magic, from the breathtaking views of the mountains, the blueberry bushes leading up to the ceremony space, the blooming flowers, and of course the incredible inside of the house. Coco and Emerson could not possibly have been more helpful, knowledgeable, or kind during our planning process. We received so many glowing compliments about them and the venue all night and have gotten so many calls and texts since then about how incredible the space was. All of the design and florals and setup went off without a single hitch, and their hard work allowed me and my husband and our families to enjoy our day. There isn’t a single thing we would change about our experience. Truly one of the most magical places we’ve ever experienced. Thank you Coco & Emerson, and House Boheme. ️

If I were to tell you my true feelings about Twisty Maple and event manager Jessie, you would probably think I'm obsessed and I would probably run out of characters. So read this review with the idea that I'm working on 50% capacity here. Twisty Maple was absolutely, positively the best venue my partner and I could have picked to host our family and friends for a wedding ceremony and celebration. It felt like a home away from home, not only because my family set up shop and stayed in the house for a week leading up to our wedding; but also because of the warmth and care that guests can feel built into every inch of the place. My partner and I chose Twisty as our venue as soon as we had a virtual call and tour with Jessie, before we had even seen the space in person. We we so immediately at ease with Jessie, who already felt like a family friend, and could tell that she cared deeply about the home and property. Jesse and the Twisty team genuinely want to share the space with folks, evidenced by a willingness to host atypical activities (I was at one point convinced I wanted an on-site smoker for a whole hog and Jessie was totally game) and offering of a garageful of event decor at no cost (including signage, bud vases, candle holders, baskets, barrels, and SO much more). Leading up to the big day, Jessie graciously offered her contact information to my and my partner's moms for any logistical questions related to the home rental, which helped enormously in saving time and stress. We were greeted by a welcome sign with the names of family members staying at the home and a thoughtful gift basket with goodies for my partner and I, including keepsake Twisty Maple mugs which are adorable. It was so great to have the space leading up to our event for family time and DIY-ing and resting. I am so grateful to Jessie for sharing Twisty Maple with my family and friends. The space will forever hold such a special space in my heart and I hope you, dear reader, have the opportunity to make unforgettable memories here too.

My wife and I were looking for a space with plenty of room for guests and vendors, but it also had to have a unique flare. If you're looking for the same, Killarney's the house for you. It has a wonderfully laid out yard and garden, perfect for pictures and cocktails with friends and family. The house is stunning. Large bedrooms, big beautiful kitchen, and plenty of entertaining space. But the true gem about this house is the history. There's too much to write about here, but I promise you, if you're a history buff, this is the place for you.

We had our reception at Trailside this past Fall of 2023. The day of, everything went perfectly. We were given ample time to set up, freedom to move around in the space, and ability to utilize it as we saw fit. The venue usually has live music, but they booked an acoustic band, which set up in the main dining area of the brewery. Our reception was able to play its own music, from speakers we brought, and not feel impacted from the live music going on for the rest of the patrons. Our event did not co-mingle too much with the general public; however there was a couple people that drifted in and we politely asked them to leave. As stated above, our overall day of was all we could have wanted and more. The days leading up to our reception were very stressful due to renovations that weren't quite ready for our event. Since we were the first party in this space, we had to bare the growing pains, which Trailside tried to accommodate for as much as possible. I believe since we were the "test" party, this team will grow from the experience. All in all, our reception day was all we could have wanted and more, so when it came down to the wire, the team delivered.

Everyone there was so easy to work with, we are from out of town so they gave us a FaceTime tour. The team went above and beyond to make our day special and help us feel calm before walking down the rooftop asile. They set up the space exactly how we wanted it.

It is only a short 15 minute drive to the fine restaurants, galleries, and shops in downtown Asheville, downtown Hendersonville, Biltmore Village, and the entrance to the Biltmore Estate.

We got married at Bent Creek Lodge on 8/6/22 and rented out the whole lodge and the Luhn house for ourselves and our guests for the weekend. It was extra special that we were able to get married here, because we actually stayed here the weekend we got engaged as well! It meant so much that we were able to return and share the experience with our loved ones. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was one of the most magical weekends of our lives, and it would not have been possible without Randy, Linda, and the rest of the amazing Bent Creek Lodge crew! The all-inclusive wedding package made it so insanely easy for us to have a top-tier wedding with minimal fuss and headaches on our part. We had our venue, lodging for all of our guests, officiant, catering, cake, beer and wine, and flowers all in a one-stop shop which made everything so much easier. The only things we chose to coordinate with outside vendors was the photography, DJ, and hair and makeup. Randy and his crew handled everything else, and they did an excellent job on all of it. All of the food was incredible, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our guests with special dietary needs. The flowers and cake were beautiful, and Randy did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. Just about every single guest came up to us at least once during the weekend to gush about what an amazing time they were having, and several approached us afterwards to tell us it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. The entire crew really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and like family. Bent Creek Lodge will always have an extra special place in our hearts, and we couldn't be more grateful.
