I want to let everyone know that our entire wedding experience with The Catlett Farm was an absolute joy & success! Marie Catlett, the owner is one of the nicest people I’ve ever done business with & I would totally recommend using her venue to anyone. The location near the Cape Fear River is ideal-very peaceful, spacious & scenic. You are able to make a choice of either indoor or outdoor accommodations. There are plenty of spaces for photo ops on the property. In addition, the barn on the property is fully decorated with lots of romantic lighting, plenty of tables & chairs & they also have a “closet” full of all kinds of additional decorative items you can utilize for your own personal design decor! Marie & Jana Culbreth were both so very helpful giving us ideas to incorporate & helping us make decisions on what would look best! They were always available to answer any questions that came up. Their experience has given them a wealth of knowledge about what works & what doesn’t!! They certainly made our wedding experience an excellent one ! I totally would recommend them to anyone about to tie the knot!!!

I have worked with Camelot Meadows both as a mobile bar service and Coordinator. Their venue is beautiful with many unique aspects to it that other venues do not have to offer. Every room is fantastic, even the catering kitchen. I have worked with many venues and they have been one of the best I have worked with and continue to work with as we are consistently booked there through the upcoming years. I recommend them to all of our clients still looking for a venue or one that would like to work with us but need to know what venues we work with.

The Legacy at Gregory Downs

5.0

Marshville, NC
  • Up to 220 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

quiet + quaint all inclusive + customize-able secluded + connected and most importantly, a Legacy in itself. Our venue offers public access to the family farm of your wildest dreams. Scenery, options, space, adventure, comfort, grace...you name it. Located just outside Charlotte, NC in the north east corner of Union County. Inspired by out late leader of the family, Gregory Moore - We vow to offer a place he would be proud of. One that cultivates family and thrives off Legacy. We would do anything in this world to have him here with us still, but we know for sure he has held our hand through this whole journey. What great things ever came from our comfort zone, right?

I cannot recommend The Legacy at Gregory Downs anymore if I tried. This venue has come together so beautifully. The open fields, BIG gorgeous trees, a large pond, the layout of the buildings, it’s picture perfect. Caitlyn had a vision and it has come to life. She thought of every detail, making sure there were plenty of options for brides to choose from. Even thinking about what kind of patio they designed to make sure a brides dress and veil wouldn’t snag on the pavers (if that’s not an amazing venue owner idk what is). If you are looking for a wedding venue this is it! Can’t forget it’s also perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, special events and so much more! Look them up, tour the venue, contact Caitlyn, you will FALL IN LOVE!!!

Het Landhuis
Pittsboro, NC
  • Up to 500 guests

Initially, the 62-acre Het Landhuis Estate was part of a 1,000-acre farm owned by the Henderson family who operated a tanyard in the area, making saddles and other leather items. One day a future bride drove past Het Landhuis; she stopped in the main driveway and asked if she could get married there. That conversation changed the course of the estate, and Het Landhuis had its Grand Opening in 2010. Het Landhuis is not your ordinary location for a wedding; this becomes obvious once you visit the grounds and look at the eight different venues the estate offers. Het Landhuis presents you with a magical setting for your storybook wedding!

The Bella Collina Mansion

5.0

Stokesdale, NC
  • Up to 175 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

The vision of a wedding in Tuscany could not find a more romantic setting than the magnificent Bella Collina Mansion. Here, vows softly rise to the heavens in the historic town of Stokesdale. Built to host intimate gatherings and celebrations for up to 175 guests. Call today to set your appointment. Tuscany's version of Cinderella's Castle!!! We offer our home to be used as a venue for Wedding's, Corporate Events and so much more. Please visit our website at www.bellacollinamansion.com

Where to even begin! When we found this venue, I would say that my husband and I had already toured over 10 other venues before Bella Collina and we had seen a few others that we had liked but none that we were set on that had quite the “wow” factor that Bella Collina has! We were actually just looking through venues and Bella Collina popped up and we read all the reviews and saw the awesome ratings and knew we had to check it out! From the moment we drove up the driveway and set eyes on the venue and the scenery. I knew without a doubt this would be where we would be getting married. The location is just so beautiful and the mansion is exquisite. It was perfect! Erin gave us a tour of the mansion and we instantly fell in love with everything that day. She was super friendly and answered all our questions! My husband and I both agreed that day that it was where we wanted to get married. We soon met the venue owner, Joe, and happily secured our date! Joe and Erin are both super friendly and easy to communicate with. My husband and I were super impressed with how everything was set up and how easily it is to get things scheduled with them. Their communication with us was spot on! They are so easy to work with. Something we really enjoyed was something called “Day of Interviews” where we got to come in and meet some of Bellas preferred vendors and then pick the ones we would like to work with. This helped take away a lot of the stress that lots of other engaged couples have to go through with finding vendors separately. Since our wedding ceremony was planned to be outdoors by the lake, when it came down to the last couple of days before our wedding and we had to make a decision about whether to move the ceremony inside or not because of the weather. Joe was absolutely amazing at making sure that we still got to have our dream wedding by watching the weather and helping us plan accordingly down to the last couple of hours! :) We got to have our first dance out on the balcony overlooking our guests out on the patio, which was breathtaking! All of our friends and family have been talking about it for the past couple of weeks since our wedding. Thanks to Joe, Erin, this amazing venue, and staff we got to have our dream wedding. It was everything we could have ever imagined! You can really tell that they love what they do and it shows. Thank you for helping us have our happily ever after! You really showed us that you genuinely care :) Bella Collina exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond what we could ever have imagined a wedding venue doing. We felt at ease on the day of our wedding in their hands
