We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to host our wedding at Serenity Ridge! We chose this venue because we wanted a beautiful mountain setting in NC where our family and friends could stay on property, and Serenity Ridge exceeded all our expectations. One of the things that set it apart is that the property is exclusively yours all weekend, making the experience private and completely focused on your event. Serenity Ridge is an incredible value. Their pricing is more of an “all-inclusive” model, covering the venue rental, lodging for 30 guests, catering, bartending, setup & cleanup, rentals... you name it. When you consider everything included, the cost is unbeatable — and it makes planning so much easier! The team at Serenity Ridge was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the planning process. Haley answered all my questions with patience and kindness (and there were a lot!), providing great vendor recommendations and guidance along the way. On the wedding weekend, the staff was flexible, accommodating, and attentive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. From exceptionally clean lodging to early and late check-ins, they truly go above and beyond for their guests. We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and wedding at Serenity Ridge, and the food was nothing short of amazing. Our guests are still raving — it’s not just “good wedding food,” it’s incredible restaurant quality. The staff during the events was also incredible. When rain started just 20 minutes before our ceremony, they quickly moved everything inside and then seamlessly flipped the pavilion from ceremony to reception in no time during cocktail hour without impacting the guest experience. Despite the brief rain, the day went perfectly, and we were rewarded with stunning sunset views later in the evening. I cannot say enough good things about Serenity Ridge, the location, and the staff. They truly care about their couples and strive to make your vision a reality. Hosting our wedding here was the best decision we made!

Spinning Leaf by Wedgewood Weddings 

5.0

Shelby, NC
  • Up to 230 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,615

Spinning Leaf pairs rustic sophistication with vineyard charm in Shelby, North Carolina. Featuring panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain views, the venue offers versatile spaces including a stone terrace, wooden pergola garden, and grand hall with Edison chandeliers. With comprehensive planning packages and thoughtful amenities, Spinning Leaf creates an exceptional setting for celebrations amid serene wine country surroundings.

Spinning Leaf by Wedgewood Weddings was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the start, they were so open to all of our questions and they adapted to all of our concerns and our ideas. The space is absolutely beautiful, so romantic and magical - we were really afraid of not having electricity in our venue since that happened at a wedding we attended, but Spinning Leaf was so helpful in addressing our power needs. The outdoor space for the ceremony looks like it's straight out of a storybook; it's full of charming details. They were able to answer every question we had and kept an open mind with our different traditions, working to accommodate our wishes. The staff at Spinning Leaf was super sweet and very helpful throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our special day.

We had a great experience touring Molly's Lakeside. The venue is opening later this year - it is already a lovely space and easy to picture the completed vision. The Wedgewood team was so kind and helpful, and it's very clear they are passionate about making the wedding planning process fun and simple for couples. While booking an incomplete venue may seem like "taking a chance," my fiancé and I feel very confident that our wedding day will be incredible with such a great team behind us and beautiful renderings to look forward to see come to life.
