I cannot say enough good things about this venue. The place is absolutely stunning. It is a beautiful venue space surrounded by mountain views with the perfect backdrop of grandfather mountain as you say “I do”. Inside the lighting and ceilings were a sight in itself. From day one the staff has been amazing. The Venue Manager, Pam, was easily accessible and prepared to answer any question that I had. She was ready to accommodate whatever I needed and even made the time to let me view my table layout in person because I needed the visual to see if our game-plan could work. The venue coordinator, Gracie, is an absolute doll and just as sweet to work with. I wish I could get married all the time, just so I can visit them at the venue!

Ethereal Moments Art

My name is Wioletta, but you can call me Viola. I am a professional photographer based in the mountains of North Carolina where I reside with my three children, partner, a Great Pyrenees dog and a Siamese cat. I have a degree in Visual Art, but I have been fascinated by photography since I was 14 years old. I moved to the United States from Poland when I was just 16. I created my first photography business in 2010 where I shot moody and aesthetic self-portraits that I later sold as prints. I also designed logos and CD covers for bands. I created my wedding business, Ethereal Moments Art, in 2018 and ever since it has continued to grow.

Ethereal Moments Art was amazing to work with from start to finish and worth every penny. The theme of our May wedding was romantic, storybook/fairytale with lots of mauves, olive and sage colors and we wanted a photographer with an ethereal, intimate, candid style to match. We found Ethereal Moments Art by searching on the Knot. The first "difference-maker" is that the Ethereal Moments Art's website is upfront and transparent about pricing, day-of-timeline and process, which many photographers don't discuss in such detail right away. We were able to clearly envision working together. Plus, we could immediately make a decision to engage based on one of our highest priorities in vendor selection--budget. After an initial call and agreement, we had an engagement shoot. Wioletta suggested a time and place near us that captured our desire for a candid shoot in nature. We had not had a formal photoshoot done before, and Wioletta was professional, patient when we ran into traffic, gave helpful direction, made us feel comfortable, and took charge to capture us while the sun was going down and we were super sweaty! You can't tell at all in the final photos, either - it was a great way to get to know Wioletta and establish trust before the big day. Wioletta helped ease our minds and prepare us for the wedding day by asking for a list of photos that we wanted to have such as locations during first look, family portraits, etc. She and her shooting partner were on time and started working immediately. Even while the bride needed extra time due to a nervous stomach Wioletta was patient and adapted quickly, used that time to collect more photos of family and the venue. Wioletta did a fantastic job capturing all of the key moments, the beauty of the venue, family group portraits, and the candid moments shared amongst everyone having a great time. She provided a preview shortly after the wedding day, and then the whole album within her promised timeframe. Our album consists of thousands of photos(!) and we are very happy with them. Ethereal Moments Art's online platform made it easy to order prints, an heirloom photo album with USB containing all files, and a large framed version of our favorite image - the one of us sitting in the red chairs. It's hanging in our living room today. I cannot recommend Wioletta enough for your wedding and/or engagement. Overall, a pleasure to work with, responds promptly, and is a master of her craft. If you are on the fence, don't hesitate to book. Thanks again, Ethereal Moments Art! Our family will treasure your art for our entire lives.

Helen Joy Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Lowgap, NC

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day. I take only a handful of wedding clients a year so that I stay fresh and excited. I usually shoot about 30% classic portraiture and 70% lifestyle/photo documentary. I like to tell the story through movement and candid photos, while also taking time to create striking and timeless portraits. I edit all my photos in black and white and color, with a film finish.

I loved working with Helen Joy, and I highly recommend her for any event. Her wedding photography was lovely, she did a great job getting the ‘formal’ portraits of family and the bridal party. But my favorite pictures were the candid moments I didn’t think to capture, she has an eye for special moments that I didn’t recognize at the time but are now my favorite pictures.

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!

My husband and I were faced with planning a wedding during COVID-19. How lucky we were to have chosen Coley Hall as our venue. Suzanne and Cicely were both so helpful throughout the whole process. We talked often as regulations changed and they were always flexible, accommodating, and understanding. They made sure that we had the most special wedding day regardless of a global pandemic. The food was awesome, service pristine, and facilities beautiful! We feel so lucky to have gotten married at Coley Hall and were proud to show off our wedding venue to friends & family!

This venue is absolutely breathtaking. The scenic mountains were the perfect background for my husband and I’s wedding and the barn was equally as stunning. So much thought was put into the design of the barn and every little detail was thought out. The bridal suite is massive and has everything you could need and more to get ready on your big day, including a salon chair! The groom’s quarter was the perfect place for the guys to hangout the day of and has a TV and bar. The barn itself doesn’t feel like just any other barn venue; it’s rustic but so elegant at the same time. I can’t recommend this venue enough and the owners are the most down-to-earth, easy people to work with!

Our wedding at Uptown Indigo was perfect from start to finish. The facility is so much bigger than these photos suggest. My husband and I both feel that the level of service and attention to detail made the value of Uptown Indigo second to none. When we first went in for a tour, Duncan made us cocktails and spent more time with us than any other tour we had. The staff actually cared about us and we didn't just feel like a number. My favorite part was the bridal suite in the morning. They turned the whole top floor into the bridal suite and it felt like a movie when the elevator doors opened and we walked out and placed our dresses on the coat hanger. There was music playing, and mimosas set out. My mom started crying and then I started crying and I knew then that the day would be perfect. I highly recommend the Uptown Indigo venue/family and we am so thankful that we trusted our wedding day to them.

I am a self-help junkie and am always in pursuit of my best me. I love people and love making genuine connections and new friendships.

Awarded Best of Zola
Are all brides that anxious on their wedding day? I certainly was! In addition to “typical wedding jitters” my dress hadn’t come back perfect from the seamstress… I was a wreck. I worried about how the photos would come out even with the best photographer. Andrea was amazing. Most of the time I didn’t know she was there. She got the best and most candid shots without any distraction (she must be part ninja). Andrea also got all of the wedding shots I’d requested through communication before the wedding and also had fun ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of. I received my photos within weeks of the wedding and I was amazed at how beautiful they turned out! The photos tell a story of a beautiful day and don’t even show a hint of the worries I had behind the scenes. I would recommend Andrea Coon photography without any reservation!

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life. Thats why I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

Nestled in Lake Lure, NC, Riverside Event Center has some of the most spectacular views of Chimney Rock. Our Venue is located on the "Rocky Broad River," so you not only have the perfect views of the mountain, but the serenity of the river! From the proposal to the send-off and all special moments in between, Riverside Event Center’s staff will be with you every step of the way! The staff here at Riverside Event Center make it our goal to make your wedding day and planning as stress-free as possible!

Robin and her staff (shoutout to Jenn!) were PHENOMENAL to work with and my husband and I felt very well taken care of throughout the process. The space was perfect for what we needed, the mountain in the background makes for a lovely wedding backdrop, and they are top tier at what they do. They also have a lot of great working relationships with vendors in the area, which I think made life easier too. I cannot recommend them highly enough for your wedding (or other event quite frankly). Wedding planning can be so stressful, and Robin helped ease my mind on so many things. Both Robin and Jenn went above and beyond on SO many items for us the day of, and I'm so very grateful. Thank you, ladies!

Golden Thistle Design 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Lowgap, NC

Our mother-daughter team specializes in creating currated floral designs that realize the beauty of the event as you envision it. We consider it our joy to help you achieve your unique wedding - making it a reflection of you and your story. Our style is very naturalistic and derives its inspiration from the beauty of the mountains and the soft, graceful lines found in nature. ​We believe that flowers should speak to your heart, kindle a sentiment, and awaken a beloved memory.

Hannah and her team are the essence of professionalism. Kind, courteous, and easy to work with, not to mention incredibly talented. Golden Thistle's designs are anything but ordinary, yet exude classic bridal beauty all the same. Not only have I recommended their services to countless brides as a wedding planner, but I have also used Hannah's beautiful designs for myself. This team values sustainability and uses local blooms often, hand dyed ribbons, and minimal floral foam. From the tiniest boutonnière with blueberries picked from her own garden to the largest Moongate arbor, Hannah and her team ensure every bloom is perfect and bursting with character. Working with Hannah is to begin as a client and end as a friend, and I couldn't recommend her enough.

The Emerald Woods is a beautiful historic venue in Western North Carolina hosting weddings, small personal retreats and private gatherings. Imagine getting married surrounded by forest on all sides, deer hidden in the woods and with the backdrop of a historic house that is hidden from view from the rest of the world. Your host, Lilly Bakken, purchased the property in August of 2020 and since then has renovated every room within the house and is now continuing to add to the landscaping with an abundance of flowering trees, hydrangea, dahlias and other perennials. Many outside seating areas have been added to the property, quiet little nooks for conversation and for guests to connect with each other.
