My husband and I chose Carolina Country Weddings And Events as our venue, and we could not have been happier with our decision. Throughout the planning process, they were frequently in communication with kind and thoughtful suggestions to ensure everything ran smoothly. They handled all the behind-the-scenes details on our big day - even setting up our flowers for us - allowing us to relax and soak in every magical moment. With multiple scenic ceremony locations and venue options onsite, including housing for guests, Carolina Country provided a gorgeous, natural backdrop for our wedding festivities. Their team was attentive, detail-oriented, and supportive, providing us with a comprehensive schedule and sticking to it. Our wedding day truly felt special and unique thanks to their efforts. For any couple looking to have an unforgettable wedding celebration, we would wholeheartedly recommend Carolina Country Weddings.

Me & my husband chose The Union Exchange as our wedding venue and we couldn't have picked a better one! The staff are SO lovely (massive shoutout to Kelly & Kacie!) and they were so flexible with us and really put in the extra effort to make sure our day was perfect. Not only are the staff here excellent at their jobs, they are also such wonderful kindhearted people too. We felt INSTANTLY welcomed the first time we ever visited & that is ultimately what lead us to choosing this place to get married. My family stayed in the big AirBNB at the front of the venue and it's such a great space for larger parties! Very modern but with a rustic twist and has everything you need. Also the animals are ADORABLE! Myself and my husband stayed in one of the little cabins near the lake and we both loved it so much that we will be coming back every year to celebrate our anniversary! They are so cosy but very clean, we loved sitting on the chairs at the front and watching all the geese go by. Special shoutout to the candles here, the "Market Mornings" candle was a nice addition to our cabin and we even bought one to take home with us to remember this by. Even though we were here for our wedding, I know they do so many cool events which are perfect for all ages, we will definitely be back in future! I cannot recommend this beautiful place more 3
