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!!

If you're looking for a warm and inviting venue for your wedding that isn't just another barn, you'll love Riviera Vines. It's a vineyard in Christiansburg with various backdrops including the tasting room, the outdoor patio, and the lawn area. The thing I love most about Riviera Vines is the thoughtful modern decor. From the flowers hanging from the ceiling to the natural vines that adorn the patio, so many beautiful little details add to the experience. The owner has a lot of additional options and she and her staff go above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. This is the perfect venue for intimate ceremonies, small weddings, bridal brunches, baby showers, and so much more.

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.
