The owners have done a phenomenal job renovating this church. It’s the perfect space for hosting a variety of events. I created a custom floral mural in one of the rooms, and Natalie and Michael were wonderful to work for. They are attentive, considerate, honest, have an eye for design, and truly care about the space they curated for future attendees.

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.

Meris in particular is wonderful, very knowledgeable and prepared for anything. The condos provide spacious, luxury accommodations for family and friends alike. During our time here we enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony, walks around the lake, and pickleball at the resort's courts. Meris and the team worked closely with all our vendors to ensure everything went perfectly on our wedding day. Even in the face of imminent rain - which thankfully held off - the Chetola staff was prepared with several contingency plans. Every detail was thought through, nothing was missed. You're in great hands here! We've heard nothing but praise in the weeks following our wedding from guests who thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The only problem with Chetola: you may not want to leave!

As a photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working at Paradise Family Farm for a while now, photographing multiple weddings and hosting mini sessions there, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue. First and foremost, the owners are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. They are incredibly easy to work with, organized, and always go above and beyond to make sure every detail is just right. Over the years, our professional relationship has grown into a friendship, and I honestly look forward to every opportunity I have to work with them. The property itself is absolutely stunning. From the beautifully restored barn to the picturesque outdoor ceremony space and beautiful mountains, every corner of Paradise Family Farm photographs like a dream. The scenery is full of charm, making it the perfect backdrop for weddings, engagement sessions, family photos, and seasonal minis. And then there are the Highland cows! They are such a unique and memorable part of the experience. Guests and clients absolutely love the opportunity to spend time with the smaller Highland cows (like Fast Freddy), and they add so much personality and fun to photo sessions. Paradise Family Farm is hands down one of my favorite vendors to work with. Not only do they provide an incredible experience for their couples and guests, but they also support other local businesses such as myself and many others. Their generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for the people they serve make them truly one of a kind. If you’re looking for a breathtaking wedding venue with amazing owners who will make you feel like family, I cannot recommend Paradise Family Farm enough. It is truly a hidden gem, and I feel so lucky to have been part of so many beautiful memories there. — Wendy Scott, Shew Ridge Photography

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.

Communication with Danna was incredible from start to finish. She always responded quickly, answered all of our questions, and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is stunning—the wooded area with the lake backdrop was the perfect setting for our ceremony. One of the things that made our experience extra special was having our wedding party stay in the cabins for the entire weekend. Everything was set up and ready for our guests, and we were able to use all the kitchenware and amenities, which made hosting so easy. Having access to the entire property truly set Klondike Cabins apart, especially since so many venues don’t offer that—let alone at such a great price. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate at Klondike Cabins. The beauty of the grounds combined with the time spent surrounded by our closest friends and family made it all unforgettable.

Alisa & her husband,Daron, welcomed us to Redbird Ridge so very warmly as did the free-range chickens from the chicken coop,the pond,and the tranquility trail. Further observations of this beautiful property revealed the renovated farmhouse,cabin,wedding chapel & picture-perfect reception hall with extra large bridal & groomsmen suites.From Valentine’s Day Arrival 5-Course Dinner To Morning After Brunch,including farm-fresh eggs from the on-site chicken coop,deliciously & professionally prepared on-site by The Romantic Chef Himself!My Husband & I most definitely will be returning to The Redbird Estate!!!

The Emerald Hill was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the staff was attentive, organized, kind, and welcoming. Ashley in particular went above and beyond to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of all our guests. The venue itself was gorgeous, perfectly suited to the fairytale wedding we had envisioned. The entire staff was so wonderful and helpful throughout the day, making sure everything ran smoothly. The quality of their work and attention to detail was truly stunning. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to get married in. Thank you to the entire team for making a magical wedding for us.

In 1929, Jean-Pierre Auguste Dalmas, a Waldensian immigrant from Villar Pellice, Italy, started construction on the dairy barn on his property in Valdese, NC. After the barn had been completed, work began on the main house. He built a rock veneered masterpiece, large enough to house his 7 children. He cleared a field for a vineyard and until his death in 1972 (at the age of 92), he made wine in the basement of the main house every autumn.

Waldensian Heritage Venues provided a truly unique and memorable experience for my client’s wedding. The venue had a mysterious and authentic ambiance and reasonable price point. The layout was easy to navigate, which made it simple to keep the bride and groom separate before the ceremony. We were particularly impressed by the beautiful lighting at the top of the stairs, which created a stunning backdrop for our first look photos. Overall, Waldensian Heritage Venues exceeded our expectations and helped make our special day even more magical.

The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.
