My Fiance and I live out of state and only had one weekend to find a wedding venue in NC that fit our needs and budget. I feel like within seconds of arriving at The Emereld Hill we knew that we had found our spot. Ashley was so so welcoming and attentive during our tour and answered any and all questions we had. There wasn’t an ounce of pressure to hurry up and sign and it didn’t just feel like we were just another another open wallet to feed a business (as was the case with some of the other venues we toured). She has been so communicative and understanding throughout our wedding planning process and has truly gone above and beyond to make sure our wedding day is special. Also of note, this is one of the few venues that puts their available dates and venue prices clearly on their website. If you have been on the wedding venue hunt you know how amazingly convenient this is as it saves you so much time/energy as opposed to having to inquire/email with every venue just to find out they don’t have your date or are outside your price range.

Our daughter got married at Serre Vineyards on October 28, 2023 and we wanted to thank you for all your help in making Gina and Michael’s wedding day so incredibly special! The weather was perfect, and we had so many guests comment on what a beautiful place Serre is! The leaf color was at peak, and the views were absolutely amazing – during the ceremony, at sunset, and all evening long, especially under the beautiful full moon! The warm weather made it perfect for guests to enjoy the venue, both inside and outside! Donna was a huge help all day, and took great care of Gina and her bridesmaids in the suite upstairs Saturday morning. It was so fun to hear the happy banter and giggles from the suite as we were setting up the reception area below. Donna and Raven did an excellent job tending bar and keeping our guests happy all night! The apple cider slushies were a huge hit!! Donna, Raven and Candace all helped with tear down and cleanup after the event, and we really appreciated their assistance to allow us to get out by midnight! The staff had everything in place for us to come in and start decorating Saturday morning, and when Candace arrived she did a great job in helping wherever needed. Candace was awesome, and was instrumental in making the day go so smoothly, and bringing Gina and Michael’s vision for the ceremony and reception to life! The candlelit tables looked amazing, and the room layout accommodated all of our guest quite comfortably! Candace was also so helpful in coordinating with all the vendors and making sure everyone had what they needed throughout the day and evening. The day could not have been more perfect, and we truly appreciate all the staff at Serre, along with our wonderful vendors, who worked so hard to make this day so absolutely wonderful! We look forward to coming back and spending time at Serre when we can just relax and enjoy - and drink wine!!

Coley Hall at The Liberty

5.0

Elkin, NC
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Coley Hall at The Liberty began as a run-down century old Tobacco Warehouse. After being purchased by Elkin native Cicely McCulloch, the space was transformed into a beautiful wedding venue. However, one cannot help but notice the space’s rich history. With an industrial feel, century-old exposed beams overhead, weathered wood, and distressed brick, it’s the definition of rustic elegance and can be tailor-made to fit any style. Keep things simple by utilizing the existing beauty of the space, or dress it up with elegant sheer fabrics draped overhead. Even if you are not DIY savvy, our staff is here to provide inspiration to ensure your vision comes to life!

amazing experience from start to finish! we had our wedding 1/13/24 and it was THE BEST DAY! the food, the drinks, all of the staff were just absolutely amazing to work with. Our wedding planner, Alex, was especially amazing to work with. she made everything so stress free and our day went perfectly! would highly recommend for a wedding (or any party, really)!

Our Wedding & Events Venue, set for up to 125 guests, offers a place where your love story unfolds naturally. Imagine exchanging vows in our lush gardens, with your nearest and dearest witnessing your promises. After, savor the moment with cocktails and sunset mountain views.

Unwind in private hot tubs, gather around the Fire Pavilion, or find quiet moments under pergolas. At Serenity Ridge, we're here to create a genuine and heartfelt setting for your love story, a place where your love shines brightest.

Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding than our wedding at Serenity Ridge. They are more inclusive than any other venue we looked at, our rental order was minimal because of everything they have to offer. The property is beautiful with not only onsite accommodations, but plenty of local accommodations for those out of town. One of my favorite parts was the ability to have so many of our friends and family stay together for the weekend. It makes such a difference in a day that already goes by so fast! The weather was perfect for our wedding but I’m still confident rain or shine, all seasons, Serenity Ridge is the perfect wedding space. The view of the mountains during the day and the stars at the end of the night is unreal. The communication was great, they are very professional and straightforward. You can tell they have years of experience in the wedding business. Their website is SUPER informative and they even have a virtual tour of the entire property! I felt so at ease working with their staff for everything to come together and they exceeded our expectations for our wedding weekend! Everyone loved the American Buffet and my husband still can’t stop talking about the crostini appetizers. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed, there was a gift waiting for us in the Yurt the night of our wedding and s'more's kits in every cabin for the fire pit. All of our guests were so impressed with this hidden gem in Mill Spring, you just don’t find places like this so close to home. Thank you Haley and Serenity Ridge staff for helping us have a the best day, we are forever grateful!

Awarded Best of Zola
This venue is absolutely breathtaking. The scenic mountains were the perfect background for my husband and I’s wedding and the barn was equally as stunning. So much thought was put into the design of the barn and every little detail was thought out. The bridal suite is massive and has everything you could need and more to get ready on your big day, including a salon chair! The groom’s quarter was the perfect place for the guys to hangout the day of and has a TV and bar. The barn itself doesn’t feel like just any other barn venue; it’s rustic but so elegant at the same time. I can’t recommend this venue enough and the owners are the most down-to-earth, easy people to work with!

This is hands down the best venue in the blue ridge mountains (coming from an Ashe County local couple)!! This venue is so stunning and needs minimal decoration to make it feel elegant and classy but still have a relaxed atmosphere. Paula is filled with so much wedding knowledge and provides a list of recommended vendors, which would be great for those who are not local. Paula is quick to respond to texts and calls and always eased my mind. The bridal suite, groomsman room, and honeymoon suite were so convenient to have right on site. The cabin on the farm was clean, spacious, and has everything your family/friends need. Mark, Paula’s husband, works so hard during the week prior to the wedding to maintain the landscaping and beautiful dahlia garden. I would also highly recommend using Caroline Orcutt as your wedding coordinator (add on service). She is beyond organized and makes sure everything runs smoothly the day of your wedding. She is quick to response to emails, texts, and calls. She also gave us tons of suggestions that would fit in our budget. We could not recommend this venue more and thank the Domske’s and Caroline for all they did for us to make our day so special!!

There’s no question this venue is incredibly beautiful but what comes with it really sealed the deal. The team leading up to the event were kind, efficient, and communicative. The space was beautifully clean and ready for us and the accommodations on the property were top notch. It made the whole day really special to have the whole family wake up and get prepared together. It really is worth every penny and is one of the most special places in the mountains. It rained on our wedding day and they did the most to wipe down chairs right before the ceremony and keep things moving. Absolutely 10/10!
