Raffaldini Vineyards & Winery

en I had questions. The staff was great to work with and the wine alone is a great reason to use Raffaldini as your venue. Jesse and the staff worked to make sure no one in my party needed anything on the day of the event. Wonderful memories were created here, and we’ll be coming back for years to come!

g, and it is perfect to get ready in. I honestly am so happy we got married at Raffalidi and wish we could do it all over again. This place holds a special place in our hearts. We appreciate the staff and everyone who helped make our wedding perfect. THANK YOU!

t married here, I highly recommend doing the lower package and renting a tent instead of using the inside of the house. The inside is much more expensive and having the beautiful tent made up for the rain since we could still see the beautiful scenery around us. We will forever be grateful to Raffaldini for giving us our dream wedding!

ible. The ONLY complaint I have about the venue is that we had rented space heaters so that our guests wouldn't get cold during dinner and dancing after the sunset, but they couldn't get them turned on until two hours after sunset and many guests left because they were cold.

the wedding made sure everyone had what they needed.

ection when it came to seating arrangements, alcohol orders and vendors. The only downside to this venue is the 10 o'clock noise ordinance rules that states the band has to stop by this time even though we rent the venue til 11 o' clock. Wish we could have kept the party going longer.

looks the rolling hills and Appalachian mountains. Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous. The wedding packages they have are pretty affordable compared to similar venues with a view like this. (A cheaper alternative to venues in a place like Asheville with mountain views.) The wedding/event coordinators are very nice and generally very helpful with planning. The only thing that kept me from rating this a 5-star is that the venue does have quite a few restrictions for vendors that can become a headache. (i.e. They have strict rules about tents that will cause vendors to upcharge you a lot to accommodate.) They also were supposed to close at 5 on my wedding day, but still had customers sitting around drinking wine until almost 6pm when my ceremony started..which was kind of annoying. If you are ok with the couple items above (no venue is going to have the perfect combo above), I highly recommend Raffaldini. Our guests had a blast and are still raving about how amazing the venue was.

e wanted. It is a bit pricey depending on the rental package and day of the week, but well worth it!

all changes even at the last minute; they are very experienced in hosting weddings. They did everything in their power to make our vision come true to the best of their ability. The only challenge is finding the venue. It can be a little difficult to locate, but once you do- it is totally worth it! If your dream is a beautiful outdoor vineyard wedding, this is it!

sorted out now. Other than that, the groom and I both went to Appalachian and have a special connection with the mountains so it was very special for us. The venue is beautiful, the wine is great, and the people are very nice and accommodating. Definitely use them as a venue.

cause set up wasn't allowed until 3pm for a 6pm ceremony...and we were expected to do everything without any help from the venue. but the view and pictures are incredible and it all worked out fine.

eyard, she said she would "see me tonight," though I never saw her my whole wedding weekend. Someone else filled in, making me feel uneasy, since I had worked with the other person for 9 months. The event coordinator also assured me we had enough, too much even, alcohol and advised us to order LESS than we did - however we were out of beer by 9pm and only had 3 bottles of wine to spare, despite my best efforts to tell her my crowd would be drinking a good amount. I trusted her since she does this everyday, but this was yet another disappointment. I wouldn't discourage anyone from getting married here - it is gorgeous, but the $4000 really only gets you the view (you have to rent everything from table cloths to wine glasses to seating to food, and the the staff does not help move chairs, set up ceremony chairs, etc) Honestly, the staff just wasn't as reliable as I inititally thought.

enue was just beginning to do weddings and was a bit disorganized and lacking things like adequate outdoor lighting. Those problems have probably been resolved by now.
