Appalachian View 

5.0

Newland, NC
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Appalachian View provides stunning eastern and western views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the south side of Sugar Mountain. As natives to North Carolina and these mountains, Cathy and Dale Buchanan have enjoyed this area for years - a cabin, time with family and friends, hiking the Appalachian Trail... Here we have hosted weddings for special people in our lives. Consequently, we decided to build on these 75 acres a venue to be able to share this beautiful location with others. We think this is the quintessential place to start your lives together, and are very excited to be able host your wedding ceremony and precious memories.

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!

Smithmore Castle 

5.0

Spruce Pine, NC
  • Up to 100 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

A fairytale setting, Smithmore Castle offers majestic architecture and breathtaking views. The venue's grand ballrooms and lush gardens provide an opulent backdrop, while the dedicated staff ensures a seamless and memorable wedding experience for couples seeking a regal celebration.

As the mother of the bride, I can genuinely say that my daughter's spring wedding at Smithmore Castle was nothing short of a fairytale. From the moment we arrived, the castle's grandeur and charm took our breath away. The stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains provided a picturesque backdrop that made every photo look like it was straight out of a storybook. The staff at Smithmore Castle were exceptional, attending to every detail with such care and precision that we felt like royalty. The ceremony took place in the beautiful courtyard, where the blooming flowers and elegant statues added a touch of natural beauty to the setting. The gentle sounds of the fountain in the background created a serene and magical atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the day. Inside, the reception was held in the magnificent Great Room, with its marble floors, medieval tapestries, and glittering crystal chandeliers. The three-story granite fireplace was a striking centerpiece that added warmth and a sense of history to the celebration. The castle's chefs prepared a feast that delighted all our guests, blending exquisite flavors with impeccable presentation. The highlight of the evening was when my daughter and her new husband retired to the Royal Tower View Suite. The luxurious accommodations and breathtaking views made for an unforgettable start to their new life together. Smithmore Castle exceeded all our expectations, creating memories that we will cherish forever. It was truly a fairytale wedding come to life.

The Fields of Blackberry Cove 

4.8

Weaverville, NC
  • Up to 450 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

The Fields, on 21 rolling acres, awaits you at the end of Reems Creek Valley. With breathtaking views of the Blueridge Mountains. We are minutes from, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and downtown Asheville, NC.​ The Barn is a 3,200 square foot converted stable, a unique rustic barn with the elegance of 21 chandeliers, 2000 square foot Patio draped with Tuscan lights. The Barn is the perfect setting for a relaxing and comfortable celebration, whether it’s a rustic elegant wedding for 50 or 500 guest. The Lodge is a 5,000 square foot Conference Center. The Great room has 20 foot vaulted ceilings. The Boardroom will seat 14 people at a conference table. There are 2 additional dressing rooms upstairs. The largest of the dressing rooms is known as the Brides Room, providing a relaxing and calming feel, with large vaulted ceilings, and views of the mountains.

This wedding venue is gorgeous. The mountains and autumn leaves were absolutely amazing to have especially coupled with the secluded, rustic barn setting that Doug has put together. The staff was so helpful and courteous, supporting us with final decoration touches and amazing host skills. Our bartender, Don, went above-and-beyond by creating our bride-and-groom cocktails with alternative ingredients even when we ran out. They were all really great at day-of coordination. Doug makes all of the food and it turns out really delicious; we recommend the braciole and polenta! The entire day worked out great and our needs were met on the day-of to make the final day very special for us. Although, keep in mind that Doug is solely running the place, which makes it rather difficult to contact him via email or phone. When we arrived for the food tasting in June (wedding date in November), the tasting was rather disorganized and chaotic, leaving us no room to ask questions or determine much-needed details (such as alcohol, food, decorations, seating, order-of-ceremony, vendors, etc. ). Doug's mother, Frida, hosted us for the tasting and left us having more questions than answers. These details were not discussed as was originally planned, but panned over quickly without room for further discussion. Unbeknownst to us there was another wedding at the time of our tasting, which did not allow us the room or time to discuss the topics during the tasting. She was further surprised that we wanted to see the venue, asking if we could come back later, only to be disgruntled when we said we lived out-of-state, which was known to them several months before. It was a stressful 'first look'; recommend going through Doug only for all arrangements/communication. Even so, details were often forgotten--and last minute, we were notified that a special event license was needed to serve alcohol, which (living in DC) is almost impossible to get any government action in less than 4 weeks. It was down to the wire when we finally got the license. Wish we had known of the license requirement 5 months prior in June during the tasting. All being said, it is a beautiful venue and Doug is very kind to take on the venture of hosting weddings at his venue. Be an on-point, early planner and you'll succeed.

Emerald Ridge Farm & Event Center 

5.0

Weaverville, NC
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Creating the deepest joy for couples, families and guests on our 33 acre historical family farm. Only 12 minutes from downtown Asheville. Welcome up to 175 guests to our captivating mountain views. Half day, full day & weekend packages available with overnight stays in the modern 3 BR/ 3 bath farmhouse + camping options. The perfect setting for your "one of a kind" event. Event spaces are adaptable to a wide variety of styles: elegant to simple and everything in between!

While Emerald Ridge is an extraordinary venue, it wasn’t the venue that won us over. The owners, Janice & Paul, were the reason we decided we wanted to have our wedding there. Janice was our first point of contact and couldn’t have been more communicative, authentic, personable, and accommodating. They allowed us to take our engagement photos there after touring the property. Paul drove us around on his golf cart and happily answered all of our questions and put us at ease. We hired Malorie as our “month of” wedding coordinator and we’re extremely pleased that we did! She’s clearly an expert when it comes to the property and the wedding planning/execution process. On the day of our wedding she went above and beyond to make us feel as special and comfortable as possible! Mason and Taylor were also extremely accommodating and hard working. The entire staff was incredibly genuine and kind to us and our guests. We highly recommend booking the “No Stress Wedding Weekend” package and adding Thursday night to get the full experience of feeling right at home. Emerald Ridge has a vast inventory of decorations which allowed us to travel lightly from out of town. Emerald Ridge has a focus on keeping their property naturally beautiful and respecting the environment, which we very much appreciated. We truly could not have asked for a better wedding experience! We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts.
