We booked Laurel Falls before we ever stepped foot on the property. And it turned out to be the BEST DECISION! It’s such a unique, magical venue.
Staying on-site for a few nights with our family and friends was part of the main appeal. That allowed for a much more intimate environment to host our wedding weekend (July 2024), rather than feeling rushed to be in and out in a single day.
Because the property is so big and includes several distinct sites, there are many ways to make the wedding your own. That’s something we know the owners have given much thought to and continue to improve upon. The fact that they provide several key elements – chairs, tables, tent, etc. makes it much easier to plan. It also means you can keep things simple or elevate the occasion if you want to add more.
The team at Laurel Falls is top-notch. They guided us through the process, ensured we were on track, and were always available to answer questions.
We cannot recommend this venue enough. It makes for a one-of-kind, truly incredible wedding experience. We are ready to go back and renew our vows just so we can do it all again!
08/03/2024 Bride here!!! This is the best wedding venue by far. We are from out of state so we didn’t have the chance to come on property but that did not stop this amazing team from showing the grounds and wedding ceremony areas (yes there’s multiple!!!!) everything through a video call! Eventually we did get the chance to see it in person…yall it is so beautiful. Even when bare the beauty of the houses and nature surrounding is stunning. Being out of state meant finding accommodations for my family but no fear Laurel Falls was able to accommodate all of us! Which was so convenient to have all of our loved ones so close to us! Laurel falls is truly a brides dream come true! They have so much to offer from decor to trustworthy vendor recommendations! Regardless if you plan to have a wedding planner or plan it yourself Kristen will help you out!!!!! On our actual wedding day They sent out Mac to help us with the setting up of everything and i cannot thank them enough!!!! Mac was able to help us get it together so we can enjoy our day! From the helpful staff, amazing views, and on site accommodations this is the PERFECT wedding venue.
These views were magical! We even got a rainbow moment along the mountaintops! These pictures truly don’t do it justice! 10/10 experience if i could give 500 stars i would!
Our wedding at The Laurel Falls in Fairview, NC, was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning natural beauty of the surroundings. The venue’s breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the serene, forested landscape provided the perfect backdrop for our special day.
The Laurel Falls delivered on everything they promised. The accommodations were both luxurious and cozy, offering our guests a comfortable and memorable stay. The venue’s attention to detail, from the beautifully landscaped gardens to the charming rustic-chic design of the event spaces, created an atmosphere of elegance and warmth that made our wedding feel truly special.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty with exceptional service, The Laurel Falls is the perfect choice. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to this incredible venue. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our love.

LAUREL FALLS IS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM. Whether you’re from out of state or a local, it’s a total gem. We feel so lucky to have stumbled across this beauty. It’s almost heartbreaking that we can’t visit every year!
When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to find a place that allowed us to spend more time with our friends and family. Everyone knows how quickly the wedding day flies by, so it was important for us to make an entire weekend out of it. We wanted something intimate, whimsical, and relaxed. Laurel Falls checked every box: an amazing location, beautiful views, and cabins to accommodate everyone.
I have to praise Kristen for a moment. She is a saint and helped us every step of the way. She was truly amazing. What doesn’t this woman do? She managed everything with unparalleled ease and organization. She made the process so easy, continuously checked in, offered suggestions, and was incredibly patient with my scattered first-time bride brain. I can’t thank her enough!
My intimate fairytale wedding was a dream come true. Every moment was filled with magic and joy, and I wouldn’t change a thing. My heart couldn’t be fuller. It was such a special day for everyone involved. My family is still talking about how wonderful it was. My 75-year-old grandfather said it was the most beautiful event he’s ever seen in his entire life, which is extraordinary. All of our family said it was the best weekend; they all needed it and it was the nicest wedding they’ve ever attended. I was constantly asked how I found this place. Everyone was in complete awe. This experience will stay with all of us forever.
Our photographer said it was her favorite wedding she’s ever shot, and the videographer echoed the same sentiment. It just goes to show how special this place is.
Do yourself a favor and don’t wait! Book the venue! 🥰🌿🌷
Laurel Falls is truly magical! This is the perfect place for a small intimate wedding. We traveled from Texas to get married here and they were so helpful with making sure all the details were just right.
Our wedding at Laurel Falls was nothing short of magical. From the seamless organized communication process of the venue to the breathtaking ceremony site, waterfall, and rustic reception space, everything was perfect.
The staff's professionalism and attention to detail ensured that our day (and weekend) was unforgettable. Shout out to Kristen, the Event Director, who was very knowledgeable, kind, and answered any and all questions from our first meeting call until our very last. Cara, a formal LF bride, also gave us the initial venue walkthrough and a bonus optional hike at the end (which won us over because we love the outdoors)! Mac, the Day of Venue Host, was also a tremendous help on the wedding day by moving items and ensuring everything was exactly where we needed it to be at the various sites of the venue.
It was the ideal setting for our mountain view wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Things I highly recommend when booking them include; a wedding planner (especially if > 25 guests …. this is a “blank canvas” type of venue, so save yourself the headache and enjoy your day), and golf carts (we had two 4-seaters and it was so much fun!). Thanks for the incredible day!! Pictures coming soon.
We absolutely loved our wedding weekend at Laurel Falls! Our friends and families were so impressed with the beautiful mountains and venue. Kristen was absolutely amazing from helping me pick a wedding date all the way up to our wedding day. Definitely recommend renting a golf cart!
Laurel Falls was an absolute dream! From the very first phone call with Kristen, we felt confident that we had found the right place for us to get married. My partner and I got married on a Saturday, and were able to spend Thursday - Sunday on the property. This was such a game changer. Being able to take our time setting up & getting to know the space took away so much stress that I know we would have felt if didn't choose a venue that allowed us to stay multiple nights. The environment was absolutely beautiful, and each of the cabins had their own unique charm. The team working for Laurel Falls, particularly Kristen, were such a pleasure to work with. They were so accommodating of every question or concern we had, and made us feel like we were their only clients. If you're considering Laurel falls for your wedding, look no further, this place is a dream.
YES, YES, SO MUCH YES!!! I cannot recommend Laurel Falls enough for a small/intimate wedding. We fell in love from the very beginning. The property is absolutely beautiful and we loved to see the work that was put into updates along the property (adding more parking, more accessible restrooms, improving the outdoor space outside the barn, etc) based on clients’ feedback! You can tell Paul really cares about making the space perfect.
Additionally, communication throughout the entire year after booking and leading up to the wedding day was spot on. Kristen is so organized and communicative, an absolute pleasure to work with. We also utilized the preferred vendor list to book a lot of our other vendors which was super helpful and a lot of them were very familiar with the space making planning easier.
The scenery speaks for itself, but our out of town family and friends were absolutely amazed by the beauty of the fall colors. It was so nice to have on-site accommodations for most of our guests and feel tucked away in the mountains while also only being 15-20’ from the heart of Asheville. I wish I could relive this day over and over. Laurel Falls helped make our wedding day even more perfect than we could have imagined!
We had our wedding at Laurel Falls in May 2023. The venue is stunning with tons of amazing views, greenery, waterfalls, and lots of charm. We rented the property for the weekend and the cabins were perfect for our family. They were very clean and well organized. The staff was super attentive and available for whatever we needed all weekend. Kristen was wonderful to work with throughout the process as she is very responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were all set for our weekend. communication was excellent leading up to our wedding and it felt as though we were becoming a part of the Laurel Falls family. This property is well taken care of. If you’re looking for great mount views and an intimate setting, I highly recommend Laurel Falls!
Laurel Falls will always hold a special place in our hearts after the best wedding weekend we could ever ask for. The property is stunning, well maintained, and they were so easy to communicate/work with before and during our weekend. We are so thankful for such a beautiful place to remember forever!
I cannot even begin to explain the magic that is Laurel Falls. Being able to spend the weekend in this dreamy 18 acre location with our loved ones to celebrate our love is something I wish we could do every year. I mayyyyy have shed a tear looking out at the mountains the day we had to leave. If you're thinking about booking, do it!
We had 16 folks stay onsite with us, and everyone was so impressed with the venue. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say "how did you find this place?!"
Kristen, the Events Director, was INCREDIBLE to work with throughout the planning process. She always had answers for my random one-off questions, and I enjoyed those emails frankly. She is such a delight.
Paul, Laurel Falls' owner, was also amazing as he called us the day of our rehearsal dinner on The Lodge porch with great news that our linens were arriving just in time for the rehearsal dinner. The attention to detail and well wishes were so very appreciated as we shuffled around to make sure everything was just right. Andy was also incredible helping us on the day of to make sure all our wedding guests knew where they were going.
You just can't beat this level of service, on top of a location that just cannot be replicated. I felt like Snow White surrounded by cute little gophers and birds and my fully adult human dwarves (aka my friends and family it was dope).

Hey Sarah! What an awesome review! We are so glad that you had such an amazing time on our property. All the best to you and Michael!
Laurel Falls is absolutely spectacular! We’re from Florida, but knew we wanted an intimate mountain wedding, and just happened to stumble across Laurel Falls on google. We booked a weekday wedding in June before even seeing the venue in person, which I was a little nervous about.. but WOW Laurel Falls did not disappoint.
It was everything we imagined and more. We had about 15 family and friends stay with us on site for three days and 47 total guests at the wedding. Everyone was awestruck and continuously asked us how we found this place. The word of the week was ‘magical’. We had friends and family travel in from Minnesota, Florida, Nebraska, Washington, New York, etc. Everyone was easily able to find accommodation in the area and flights were surprisingly smooth with Asheville being just a short drive away.
The cabins were cozy, stocked with everything we needed, and allowed everyone to have their own space/cabin for the three days. The venue itself had so many versatile spaces – we had our ceremony at the boulder site, reception at the rustic barn, rehearsal dinner and brunch on the lodge porch.
As for Laurel Falls staff – Kristen was amazing. She was always available to chat through questions I had and was so organized in all the information she shared with us prior to the wedding. She even provided a vendor list, which was so appreciated because I wasn’t from the area and didn’t know where to start! The day of the wedding there was a staff member on site who worked with our coordinator to ensure everything was set up and ready to go.
I cannot recommend Laurel Falls enough! It was perfect and exactly what we were looking for.

Thank you so much for the great feedback Anna! We are thrilled that we were able to facilitate such a great event for you.
Laurel Falls - we can't even describe the experience we had, from planning to our magical weekend to follow up after our celebration - everything was exactly as we hoped. Kristen, the event coordinator, is a gift to any bride and groom who discover Laurel Falls, and Paul, the owner, knows how to make you fall in love with the special place he created with his family. EVERYONE at our wedding was amazed by the location and especially those who stayed on the property with us asked over and over how we found this incredible venue. Kristen always answered our questions quickly and we always felt calm and like we were in good hands, even when a few last minute things came up and bad weather was threatening our plans days before. We barely needed anything because the surroundings do all the work for you and there are so many other vendors who love working there that putting it all together was a breeze. We made so many memories and are so glad we decided to do a weekend with our closest loved ones instead of just one single night. We celebrated every night, had bonfires and walks on the property, and took so many beautiful pictures. We didn't want to leave but know that our wedding was so unique and special because we found Laurel Falls.

Thank you so much for the kind words Jessica! We are ecstatic that you had such a great experience at Laurel Falls. All the best to you!
Laurel Falls was honestly the best, most beautiful place we could have imagined for our special day. As mountain people at heart, we were looking for a quieter location with great views where we could enjoy time with our family and Laurel Falls absolutely delivered on all counts. The four cabins that are included are so spacious, beautiful, and ideal for bringing together family and friends both before, on, and after the wedding. There are also multiple locations on the property suitable for having the ceremony and reception (all of them gorgeous)- plus a hottub, waterfall, lawn games, and small nature trail! If you're looking for a beautiful venue for a small-ish wedding, this is the place!
Response from the Vendor on 05/23/2023
We're so glad that we lived up to your expectations Sarah! The property is very special to all of us here at Laurel Falls and it means a lot to hear that you had such a wonderful time. All the best to you!
5 stars is not enough for Laurel Falls! Our friends and family were in awe and asking us all weekend “how did you find this place?!”. The property itself is breathtaking and is the perfect place for an intimate wedding. We made so many memories over the weekend stay that we will cherish forever!
We had 20 people staying on property and every cabin was well stocked with everything you could need for the weekend (kitchen supplies, irons, dust buster/cleaning supplies, extra linens) and they all felt so cozy. Kristen, the events director, was incredibly helpful and so communicative in the months and days leading up to our wedding. Andy, the property coordinator, helped make our day easy by getting out all of the things we needed (chairs for ceremony, ceremony archs, extra tables, etc.) and coordinating parking the day of. Also the welcome package provided is so thorough and made our vendor selection process seamless.
I could go on and on but if you’re considering an intimate mountain wedding, look no further than Laurel Falls! We are so glad we had our weekend here and are so thankful to the Laurel Falls team.
