For a young venue, they have put deep roots down quickly and operate with a seasoned finesse. It quickly became one of my favorite places to work as a wedding photographer. I believe that being an operating vineyard has made Serre and it's staff extremely connected with the land they occupy, surrounding farms, and local people and businesses. Many of the vendors I have worked with there share the same sentiment and connection to the mountains, people, and history of the greater Mount Airy area. The tasting room and main grounds that surround it are now old enough to feel settled into itself, but modern and extremely well kept which gives it a high-end feel. Their very friendly and competent staff has been so easy to work and communicate with before, during, and after wedding days. I would recommend Serre to couples who want their guests to be blown away by the beauty of the mountain views, who are seeking a more intimate feel to their event, and don't want to worry about whether or not the venue is going to do everything they can to make your event the best it can be. And if you like wine, that's a cherry on top.

Appalachian View strives for greatness - and achieves it. They’ve got so many thoughtful small touches that show their heart for their clients - from the complimentary clear umbrellas you can use if it rains to the sanitizing stations (important during a pandemic) to the mini fridges in the getting ready spaces. The on site staff on the day of the wedding is ready to help in any way they can to make the day perfect for the couple. 10/10 experience.

Coley Hall at The Liberty

5.0

Elkin, NC
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Coley Hall at The Liberty began as a run-down century old Tobacco Warehouse. After being purchased by Elkin native Cicely McCulloch, the space was transformed into a beautiful wedding venue. However, one cannot help but notice the space’s rich history. With an industrial feel, century-old exposed beams overhead, weathered wood, and distressed brick, it’s the definition of rustic elegance and can be tailor-made to fit any style. Keep things simple by utilizing the existing beauty of the space, or dress it up with elegant sheer fabrics draped overhead. Even if you are not DIY savvy, our staff is here to provide inspiration to ensure your vision comes to life!

Coley Hall at The Liberty is a beautiful, unique and versatile venue for any size event. They are wonderful to work with and the staff are always the best! Great food and great atmosphere!

Absolutely breathtaking! Five Stars All the Way!!! Serenity Ridge surpassed all our dreams as a wedding venue, and the owners are nothing short of phenomenal! From the very start of our wedding planning journey, they showered us with their friendly and attentive care, ensuring that every detail was handled with precision and thoughtfulness. Working with Haley was an absolute joy during our pre-wedding preparations. She was incredibly responsive, going the extra mile to provide us with a wide range of options and details while efficiently creating a dream experience that fit seamlessly within our budget. When our wedding weekend finally arrived, they went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations in every way! Their communication and assistance throughout the weekend remained prompt and attentive, alleviating any potential stress along the way. Everything was flawlessly set up and meticulously cleaned afterward, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in soaking in every moment of our special day and the entire weekend. The venue itself is a slice of paradise. The awe-inspiring mountain views provided a spectacular backdrop for both our ceremony and reception! Even with a rainy day, the Hilltop house was a perfect and cozy gathering spot for our intimate group of 30 guests. Saturday morning's hike on the property's trails added an extra touch of adventure without ever having to leave the property. A few of the evenings were really chilly mountain nights, and the fire pavilion was a perfect spot to continue the celebrations, complete with good music and endless hours of laughter. Every corner of Serenity Ridge is impeccably maintained, showcasing its charm and beauty at every turn. And let's not forget about the food! The catered reception dinner was an absolute hit, leaving our guests raving and satisfied with every dish served. The cherry on top? Serenity Ridge offers short-term stays in their yurt, six cabins, or the Hilltop house, making it the perfect spot for future anniversary celebrations. We cannot sing their praises enough; this venue is an absolute gem, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have celebrated our special day in such a magical and unforgettable place.

Absolutely a bride and groom's dream come true of a venue. My groom and I toured this venue when it wasn't quite complete in construction yet and we just knew that was where we would get married. Blake, Dana, and Carly have poured their heart and soul into this venue so every couple can feel at home. The bridal loft is so unique and a wonderful place for the bride to decompress before her big day. The groom's quarters truly give him and his groomsmen an opportunity to relax and have fun before the big reveal. And the views from the outdoor patio and ceremony area is the perfect spot to celebrate and gave us the perfect spot for our Mountain themed wedding. Carly and Dana are extremely detail oriented and make sure that their couples and families have the BEST day. From decorations to transitions through out the day, the Whispering Ridge team is there with you every step of the way. I wouldn't recommend a better place for couples to experience and celebrate their love and their wedding.

This is hands down the best venue in the blue ridge mountains (coming from an Ashe County local couple)!! This venue is so stunning and needs minimal decoration to make it feel elegant and classy but still have a relaxed atmosphere. Paula is filled with so much wedding knowledge and provides a list of recommended vendors, which would be great for those who are not local. Paula is quick to respond to texts and calls and always eased my mind. The bridal suite, groomsman room, and honeymoon suite were so convenient to have right on site. The cabin on the farm was clean, spacious, and has everything your family/friends need. Mark, Paula’s husband, works so hard during the week prior to the wedding to maintain the landscaping and beautiful dahlia garden. I would also highly recommend using Caroline Orcutt as your wedding coordinator (add on service). She is beyond organized and makes sure everything runs smoothly the day of your wedding. She is quick to response to emails, texts, and calls. She also gave us tons of suggestions that would fit in our budget. We could not recommend this venue more and thank the Domske’s and Caroline for all they did for us to make our day so special!!
