Sky Retreat was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From start to finish, their communication was quick, easy, straightforward, and clear, making the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and the overall value was nothing short of beautiful, extraordinary, magical, and truly unique. The staff on site was a delight to work with - they were there all day to help with anything we needed and were always happy to step in and lend a hand. The venue itself was so unbelievably beautiful, and with about 150 guests, the size was perfect. I could not recommend Sky Retreat more highly, and the added bonus of the adorable donkeys and goats was a huge hit with all of our guests!

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. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place to celebrate their love—it’s an absolute gem!

The Serenity Ridge team was amazing on our special day! We got married just a week after Hurricane Helene hit, and we were devastated thinking our wedding might not happen or be what we had envisioned. Haley, Elliot, Jordan, and Katie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from finding propane tanks to securing the food we needed and staying in constant communication with us. By the grace of God, the power came back two days before the wedding, but Serenity Ridge was prepared even if it hadn’t. The day turned out to be everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot thank the team enough for their hospitality, communication, and kindness throughout the process. Not to mention, the venue itself was beautiful—stunning mountain views, delicious breakfast-for-dinner catering, and cute furniture made it all even more perfect. We highly recommend Serenity Ridge for anyone looking for the perfect venue for their big day!

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 an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was always timely, detailed, and showed a clear attention to detail. They were extremely thoughtful in ensuring we had every picture we wanted, and the quality of their work is simply priceless.

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day.

Helen was awesome to work with, she captured all of my favorite moments of my wedding and then some that have become a treasure in our household! It was so comfortable to work with Helen. Nothing felt awkward in the shots we posed for or in the candid ones she captured. Honestly the candid shots were absolutely amazing. She reminds me of Henri Cartier-Bresson in her ability to capture precious decisive moments of embraces, smiles and tears. We are grateful for these memories Helen captured at our wedding.

Scott with Big R Orchards is phenomenal! He is a joy to work with - professional, positive energy, incredibly kind and gets the job done! He was very responsive and answered all of my many questions throughout the planning process. He also gladly accommodated a few last minute set up changes. Scott was extremely helpful during the ceremony, carting us across the property to get to our spots for ceremony and golden hour. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained. We had a fall wedding and the trees were just gorgeous! The tables, chairs and decore that he provided were exactly as described. The venue structure is awesome and the recent upgrades really elevated the space. Scott’s space is already so beautiful that you really don’t need much in terms of decore.

There was a lot of room to move and utilize their spaces in a way that fit our vision for the wedding. The food and drinks were crafted and paired great together. We highly recommend the Inn at Crestwood a thousand times!

Hi. I’m Emily. Mother, wife, and baker. I was diagnosed with psoriasis over 8 years ago shortly before discovering my husband could not tolerate any grains. While this time was rather difficult attempting to maneuver life with “dietary restrictions,” it was also a pivotal moment where I decided to continue making all the things I love (yes I have a sweet tooth). I embarked on an 8 year journey trying all the flours and substitutes in all my cherished recipes. I have found what works without compromising taste and texture. Fast forward three kids later who also deal with dairy, nut and gluten intolerances and I think I have found what works.

We had a full dessert spread at our wedding on Oct 1st at Overlook Barn. Emily went above and beyond to accommodate our guests’ dietary restrictions (vegan / GF) all while keeping the taste and appearance of the desserts! Our guests raved about the cakesicles and everyone went back for seconds! We appreciated her willingness to set up our displays the pickup / dropoff of her trays was extremely simple! You can't go wrong with Choice Cakes!

I have no doubt that at the end of that day, when the dust has settled, you will have nothing but happy and satisfied families and couples who will know that they made the best decision to put their day in Emily's hands.

I could not recommend Andrea more highly! Not only is she an overall amazing human but she gave us the gift of the best wedding photos we could have imagined!

Klondike Cabins at Grassy Creek Vineyard & Winery 

5.0

State Road, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Tucked away on a hundred-acre stretch of land, one mile outside Elkin city limits, Klondike Cabins offers a secluded escape. Original wood beams and early American antiques welcome guests to experience life a little simpler. Surrounded by 60-acres of vineyards, a 2-acre fishing pond, and a walking trail winding alongside the Grassy Creek, days can be filled with discovering what the Appalachian nature has to offer, or cozied up with a book or game of chess next to a roaring fire in the original 1920’s hearths.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Unique barn setting
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests
  • Historic touches

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Limited cleanup and setup services
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
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.

We initially chose Elkin Creek Vineyard for its beautiful scenery and the symbolism of the creek meeting at the altar. We were blown away by the service and atmosphere the staff created. Elkin Creek Vineyard was the PERFECT site for our wedding. They helped make our dream day come true even as we experienced an unexpected downpour 15 minutes before the ceremony was to begin. The entire team there made sure we had a fantastic night. We also had our rehearsal dinner as well as stayed property and it was such a delight. We love being able to go back for special occasions over the years and even get to take our daughter to our favorite winery!
