My husband and I hosted our wedding at The Willow and Whisk back in June. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or for better hosts! The property is absolutely beautiful and Andrea and her family were amazing to work with. They were the most gracious hosts and super accommodating for our weekend. We rented the venue from Friday-Sunday for us and the wedding party, which was so convenient for our friends coming from out of state. Andrea also helped me coordinate with all of my vendors, which made the weekend go much smoother than if I had done it all myself. Every single one of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the venue and the experience. We hope to come back and stay for an anniversary trip some day!

My husband and I just got married at Laurel Ridge last weekend and I could not possibly do their team justice in one review, but I will try my best. Holly and Ariel were absolutely wonderful to work with from our first walkthrough. They are kind, communicative, and incredibly helpful. Every part of the wedding planning process was so easy with this team. The food was absolutely incredible, bar staff and servers were incredibly kind, and Holly and Ariel worked with our vendors to ensure that our day was perfect - and it truly was. If you are looking for a venue that will take your breath away, do yourself a favor and set up a walkthrough here. The views are beautiful and each reception space is ideal. We had our ceremony at the arbor and our reception at the pavilion, but if we had to move inside for the rain, I would have still been thrilled. So many of our guests had stated that they looked at pictures of the venue before attending and were still awestruck when they stepped onto the property. We could not possibly be more grateful for Laurel Ridge Country Club and its team for giving us the most wonderful wedding day.

From the moment we started working with Emma at Castle Ladyhawke, we were impressed by their quick, efficient, and warm communication style. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with an authentic, charming feeling that made our wedding day feel truly special. The food was fantastic and despite complications it was a beautiful and magical day. While our initial coordinator, Emma, was great to work with over the 8 months leading up to the wedding, we were disappointed to learn upon arrival that she would not be there on the day. Her replacement, Kelsie, arrived late, did not have our updated documents, failed to communicate with the vendors that there was a space for them on the third floor, and seemed to lack the positive energy and personal responsibility we had come to expect. There were also a few small hiccups, like the arch being set up incorrectly initially. But overall, we had a wonderful, memorable day for us and our guests.

My daughter had the most majestic wedding at The Vineyard at High Holly this year! We chose to use Lesley as our wedding planner and it was the best decision ever besides the choice to have it at the vineyard itself! Since we were living in Florida at the time, we had to do the majority of the planning meetings via zoom with Lesley, and it truly worked out very well with our schedules. Lesley was so great at giving us amazing and unique suggestions for the wedding so that my daughter’s wedding would have the one of a kind uniqueness that every bride to be wants! As my daughter was looking for a garden themed wedding, Lesley came up with amazing ideas that complimented the theme, like having colorful umbrellas for the audience, which turned out to be super helpful since it provided shade as well as protection from the sprinkling of lucky rain that graced us all! But truly, from helping us find an incredible florist, to helping create a beautiful and personalized table scape to the overall unique floor layout, to finding us a DJ that specifically met our needs, Lesley helped to give my daughter a gorgeous wedding experience that was one of a kind and highly personalized. As a note though, the setting of The Vineyard at High Holly is truly breathtaking just by itself, so even if one did not want to add on extras it would still be gorgeous. One of the highlights of the wedding in which Lesley coordinated, was the arrival of a marvelously well behaved family of Llamas that stood as decoration during the ceremony and then provided incredible opportunities for photos during cocktail hour, it was like a fairytale!!! Let us not forget the incredible food though.. They have a chef that does a phenomenal menu of literally anything in the world you could think of… and the quality of the food is absolutely exquisite! Lesley and her amazing chef met with us together on zoom for quite a while talking about all the options to choose from and were able to give us everything we wanted and worked hard to make sure it was within our budget too! The day of the wedding Lesley went from already being amazing in helping us to plan everything but becoming literally superhuman in making sure each and every detail was taken care of. There was always a golf cart arriving whenever anyone needed to be taken anywhere readily available and Lesley would pop in to make sure we had everything we needed frequently during the day. In fact, she even hemmed my husband’s pants at the last minute- god bless her!!! I don’t know how she does it, but she manages to do about fifteen things at once and still do them all well… and she truly does care and wants the experience to be everything you have dreamed of and more, and will go ten extra miles to make sure that it happens. If you are looking to have the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime and also want it to be a retreat for your guests, The Vineyard at High Holly is the perfect place to make it all happen!
