This page is designed to help you (the customer) make conscious decisions when considering a particular venue/site for your event. The venues/sites and names listed below represent those that I have had the opportunity to work extensively with over the last 10 years in different capacities.

Venues I recommend and why:

The rustic and shabby-chic wedding venue is all the rage in North Carolina. There is one venue I recommend that stands head and shoulders above the rest. The Lodge on Brier Creek: Originally a working farm, the Mathis family has transformed this already beautiful property into a one-of-a-kind destination mountain wedding venue. Its sweeping views of the Appalachian Mountains, unique indoor and outdoor event space and breathtaking landscapes offer the perfect setting for your event. Whether you’re dreaming of a grand wedding weekend full of celebration, or an intimate ceremony with friends and family, we’ll help you craft memories that last a lifetime.
