Longleaf Vineyard

I could not have asked for a better wedding venue. We were only able to view it on a zoom call due to the pandemic and travel distance, but seeing it in person, it was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Wendy was such a pleasure to work with and made everything seamless leading up to the day. Every single one of our guests mentioned how stunning the view was and I could not agree more. The location setup is extremely convenient! It was an absolutely unforgettable day for us and are so grateful to have made such amazing memories there.

I knew from the moment I walked up to the ceremony site that Longleaf was the perfect place for us to get married. It was gorgeous and everything I had dreamed of. The views are unreal. Once we started the planning process, things changed significantly. It was very difficult to plan with Wendy. As a bride with a specific vision, it felt like she took pleasure in saying no to my ideas, rather than offering suggestions for how we could work together to accomplish my vision. I did my very best to be considerate, amicable, and professional in my communication about our goals for the day while abiding by the parameters that were given to us. Being an event planner myself, I was caught off guard at the way I was treated as a client, and more importantly as a bride. I felt like an inconvenience and was constantly apologizing for my requests or ideas. I had an amazing wedding planner who worked with her every step of the way and provided complete transparency with our plans. Wendy consistently told us we could not do things, even when our plans did not break any rules, it was simply her preference that things be done differently. If you are considering booking this venue, the below are very important for you to know: Regarding capacities, we were told 120 people would comfortably fit in the venue. This is not true. When we submitted our diagrams with seating for 120 people in rounds of 8, we were told it would be too crowded. The venue is much more suited for 80-100 people, so plan your décor accordingly. You will not be able to use larger items if you actually plan on having 120 people. When I began booking vendors in the area, I reached out to no less than 12 transportation companies (which is required by LV if serving alcohol at your wedding) Every one of them declined my request for quotes because of their difficult and negative experiences with Wendy in the past. They refused to provide service to Longleaf Vineyard and I had to look elsewhere. Lastly and most importantly, my husband and I did not get to have a grand exit because our guests were rushed out of the venue 15 minutes early of our send off. Despite having meticulously reviewed our timeline and knowing the time for our grand exit, the LV staff forced our guests onto the shuttles early. We had specifically planed the timing around the vineyard’s rules – there is a noise ordinance and we had to be out by 10pm. It was disappointing and incredibly embarrassing. Our guests were very confused as to why they were being rushed onto the shuttle prior to the bride and groom’s exit and we did not get to say goodbye to our friends and family. Even our DJ was confused, and was still playing music preparing for our final song, following our timeline. When my planner confronted Wendy about this, she said she “didn’t know”, which is simply not true. Overall, if I had known the planning process and customer service would be this difficult, I would not have chosen Longleaf. It is absolutely gorgeous, but I believe we could’ve found a comparable venue and saved ourselves a multitude of headaches. Beautiful venue, poor partnership.

I cannot say enough about Longleaf Vineyards. On top of its gorgeous backdrop, Wendy was absolutely fantastic to work with and made our day go off without a hitch. I highly recommend.

The amazing mountain top views, the scenery and vibrant colors, and the quality of service provided by Wendy and Brian, made Longleaf Vineyard the best choice for our fall wedding! Tucked away in Marshall, North Carolina, Longleaf Vineyard is a hidden gem every bride deserves to find! We got married November 2019 and our guests are still raving about Longleaf Vineyard’s mountain top views. We booked the venue sight unseen (and from out of state) but Wendy and Brian were so easy to work with. They were happy to help and provided what they could to bring our vision to the big day. Wendy’s wedding planning experience was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process and ensured that our dream wedding went off without a hitch. And let’s not forget the wine! Longleaf Vineyard has a great selection of wine for every kind of taste that shows up to the party. We are so happy we chose Longleaf Vineyard as the venue for our dream wedding! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Longleaf was everything that we dreamed of. We had almost given up hope in finding a venue, but as soon as we got to the top of the hill overlooking the vineyard into the mountains, we knew that this was it. It was the perfect intimate setting with the most gorgeous views. Wendy and Brian were fantastic. Wendy made sure everything was perfect and was quick to answer any and all questions that we had. Brian's passion for the vineyard showed through the amazing wine that they offered-- everyone is still raving about that Peach Chardonnay. This is definitely a venue that you don't want to miss!

We had our wedding at longleaf vineyard this June, and we could not have asked for a more perfect night. Wendy is amazing and made our wedding planning process so much easier. She also was an incredible help during the event. I have nothing but good things to say about the venue and owners.

Longleaf Vineyard: Perfect view and perfect owners If I could rate Wendy and Longleaf Vineyard with 1000 stars I would! Wendy and her husband are the sweetest people I had the pleasure of working with during my 13 month engagement. Wendy is dedicated to her clients to make sure that the day is everything the bride and groom imagined and more. On my big day we somehow forgot to pick up the wedding cake. As the bride I was FREAKING out. Without hesitation, Wendy jumps in her car and goes to pick up our cake while our ceremony goes on without a hitch. I highly recommend Longleaf Vineyards, the view and the owner's wonderful hospitality make that venue absolute perfection I wouldn't have had my wedding day any where else.

INCREDIBLE in every aspect!!! Wendy, the owner used to be a wedding planner so she makes hosting your wedding super STRESS FREE, easy, and fun. My wedding was June 2nd and the weather was perfect, the vines were beautifully green, and the mountain view was priceless. Multiple guests said it was "the best wedding they had ever been to". The pergola you give your vows under is beautiful with the vines and mountains in the backdrop, the pavilion provides a rustic cover incase it rains, and a large white tent with beautiful lighting guarantees a formal and sophisticated feel to an outdoor reception. Wendy and Brian did a wonderful job of making sure the property looks great for your wedding day. We are so lucky we found this gem just a 20 minute ride from downtown! I highly recommend this picture perfect venue to everyone!

The venue is beyond gorgeous - you just can't beat that amazing mountain view! The layout was perfect for our 100-person wedding - from the ceremony space with incredible mountain and vineyard views, to the cocktail hour pavilion, to the new tent with chairs/tables included. All of our guests were raving about what a beautiful venue it was, and our pictures look incredible! We loved that it had a secluded feel, yet was still close in proximity to the Asheville area. Wendy was so helpful throughout the process, and has been working hard on renovations to make the vineyard look its best. We highly recommend Longleaf Vineyard to anyone looking to get married here. Thank you Wendy and Brian for hosting our perfect day! We can't wait to come back!
