I had the immense pleasure of getting married at Smithmore Castle during the enchanting winter season, and I can confidently say it was a truly magical experience deserving of a full five stars. From the moment we arrived, the castle exuded an air of timeless elegance and charm, wrapped in a pristine blanket of snow that made the entire setting feel like a fairy tale. The grandeur of Smithmore Castle is matched only by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, allowing us to focus on celebrating our love. The ceremony took place in the castle's stunning great hall, which was beautifully adorned with winter-themed decorations. The roaring fireplace added a cozy ambiance, making the atmosphere both romantic and intimate. The castle’s historic architecture provided a breathtaking backdrop for our vows, creating memories that we will cherish forever. Our reception was equally spectacular. The dining experience was exceptional, with a gourmet menu that delighted all of our guests. The castle’s chef crafted a winter feast that was both elegant and delicious, catering to all dietary preferences with ease. The staff's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the meal, from the beautifully set tables to the exquisite presentation of each dish. The accommodations at Smithmore Castle are nothing short of luxurious. Our bridal suite was a haven of comfort and style, offering stunning views of the snow-covered grounds. Our guests were equally impressed with their rooms, each uniquely decorated and equipped with modern amenities while maintaining the castle’s historic charm.

Henderson Acres is truly beyond anything we could’ve hoped for with our wedding venue. First their actual outdoor space and house is so beautiful it is straight out of a magazine- picture perfect. The decor and stone within the house is such an elevated look we were in awe of. They are constantly adding things to the space and not to add things you need to pay for but to offer plenty of things for you to enjoy to use during your day. For instance there was several items of decor we used from them that we decided day of to use and the flexibility of that is incredible. They have a reasonably priced furniture package that their venue staff helps set up on wedding day and they have a retractable tent in case of inclement weather. Next the staff is absolutely incredible. Seriously beyond kind, helpful, responsive, and authentically caring. Planning the wedding was a dream with them, and the staff the day of was beyond kind and helpful ensuring the day ran smoothly. An example, we had one guest who was in a wheelchair and had to have an uber come to the venue for pick up/drop off - the staff without being asked drove to the bottom of the driveway waited for the uber and personally escorted them to the top. That kind of hospitality was noticed by our guests who raved about their kindness. I could write about so many more amazing things this venue has to offer. We received countless (truly countless) compliments on this venue and the venue staff - from the beauty of the space to the kindness and authentic care everyone felt. Our photographer captured the day perfectly with such beauty and somehow you’re still amazed seeing the space in person. I think there is something special about a family owned business and this venue is a prime example of it! Without a doubt the best decision we made in our wedding planning was booking Henderson Acres after so much searching - couldn’t recommend more!!!!

Weaver House is a gorgeous venue supported by wonderful staff. From the beginning stages of planning to final touches to the day itself, we felt so well-taken care of and supported. The space itself is airy and elegant—both the lush gardens outdoors and the bright indoor spaces are immaculately maintained and feel very private despite being right off the main street of downtown Weaverville. We were looking for an indoor/outdoor location that felt sophisticated without being stuffy, and Weaver House fit the bill perfectly. While the beauty of the venue stands on its own, the team of individuals supporting Weaver House is what made our experience so wonderful. Alexandra was an immensely valuable asset to our wedding planning experience—she celebrates your vision for the day while providing great recommendations and expertly and calmly guiding you through all of the little details. She was a rockstar on our wedding day and made everything run seamlessly. Don't even bother looking for outside catering, because Chef Joey is incredible—he curated a fantastic BBQ dinner that our guests were talking about for weeks. His genuine passion and enthusiasm for food shines through in his cooking and in his collaborative and joyful process to menu planning. We could not recommend Weaver House more!

We got married at Stony Woods this past September and it could not have been more perfect! The property was absolutely gorgeous. The Villa and all the treehouses were amazing! Kim and Steve were so helpful the entire time. We wouldn’t have had such an amazing wedding without them. I would absolutely recommend Stony Woods to anybody!! My now husband and I will definitely be back.
