Sugar Hollow Retreat

Our experience at Sugar Hollow was amazing! The venue is gorgeous and the cabins are perfect for a family style wedding. We had a smaller wedding (66 guests) and almost everyone was able to stay on the mountain. There’s plenty of options for activities and our guests loved it!  The food was incredible. The menu options are great and they’re also really flexible and try to make changes you may want whenever possible. The staff was incredible (special shout out to Nicole of course). Overall, I cannot recommend this venue enough. If you’re looking for a fun, family weekend and elevated camping vibes-this is it. We did yoga on the lookout deck and had a field day. Also, ending every night at the top of the mountain was the best. Campfires, hanging out in sitton house, eating leftovers from the events-it was awesome!  5 stars and a special thank you to everyone at Sugar Hollow! 

Our wedding was the most perfect day ever at Sugar Hollow Retreat! The grounds are so beautiful and so well kept, the cabins are so cozy and were so clean, and the staff were so friendly and so helpful! Our wedding day went off without a hitch thanks to the amazing staff! I could not recommend this event space more to any couple who is looking for a place with breathtaking views, amazing accommodations, and overall a wonderfully intimate space to share with your loved ones!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I cannot say enough about this incredible venue! If you are looking for a magical, absolutely breathtaking mountain wedding venue, look no further! The whole staff at Sugar Hollow Retreat took exceptionally good care of us, and we could not possibly be happier with how our wedding was handled. They really know what they are doing and will take excellent care of you and your guests too, without a doubt. A magnificent venue overall & a wonderful experience through and through. Book it! You’ll be glad you did!

Our wedding was struck with THREE natural disasters <30 days out. Despite the stress of all that, the team at Sugar Hollow did everything in their power to give us a seamless experience. When the time came, our event was absolutely beautiful. The houses, the reception hall, the views, everything was gorgeous and I was able to just be present and enjoy the day. Also, book Nicole. She is worth every penny and more. If I had to do it all again, I would do it exactly the same:)

From the first call to the last brunch--this is where you want your wedding!!! Nicole, Anna and Kaleigh made us feel like we were family and they were planning their little sisters wedding. No detail was missed, no question unanswered, no vendor not coordinated by them allow us to enjoy the weekend. Even with a couple of "hic-ups" from a water heater issue, torrential downpours the morning of the ceremony, to a power outage at the hall--which was rectified well before the ceremony (and completely out of their control)--they were quick to react and ensure that those things were fixed quickly without so much as a blip of time in the day. The food was some of the best we have had, the staff polite, helpful and so friendly. Not one guest left a meal feeling hungry or that they had just consumed "wedding banquet food" It is a whole other level of culinary masterpieces, from the BBQ to the wings for lunch and the chicken, crab cakes, pork and prime rib for dinners!! Truly amazing. Our guests were so impressed with everything from the accommodations, to the property amenities (hiking, etc.), the kindness of the staff and the food. More than once was I told by multiple people that this was the best wedding they had ever attended. I can't speak highly enough about this venue and their staff--truly and honestly one of the best places in the mountains to hold a wedding!! If you want your daughter (or son) to have a picture perfect dream wedding--then this is your place. Side note to Nicole--thanks for "willing away the rain and bringing a rainbow to end the ceremony!! Forever grateful to you and the entire staff of Sugar Hollow for making my daughters dream wedding come true!

Where do I even begin? From the very start of setting an appointment to the very end of leaving our weekend getaway everyone was so warm and welcoming. They were always there for any of my needs and questions. Nicole made everything run so smooth from the first time we met. I truly don’t think I could have gotten through the weekend with her or Jamie. They had calmed my nervous and had gone way above and beyond for everything. It was like planning your wedding with your bestfriend. I can’t express how much I truly appreciate everything they had done for us. I could not have picked a better place to have our wedding. Any single problem you could think of they could solve it in less than an hour. On top of that being able to have our family and friends stay on site in the cabins all weekend was a dream. I absolutely recommend this place.

We booked Sugar Hollow not having seen the property since we were in Texas. Talking with Nicole, our coordinator, gave us such a feeling of comfort and confidence knowing (hoping) my daughter’s day would be magnificent….and she did not disappoint! Between her & Jamie, there was absolutely NO stress. They took care of everything once we arrived at the venue. Communication was perfect. If we had a question, she was quick to respond. We are still getting compliments from guests about how beautiful it was. I cannot recommend Sugar Hollow enough! You won’t be disappointed!

Our wedding at Sugar Hollow was an absolute dream! Every step of the way, from touring the venue, to choosing vendors, to planning, to executing our perfect weekend, Kayleigh, Nicole, and Jamie were so helpful. They made sure we got every single thing we wanted and that every detail went according to plan. Several of our guests told us that ours was the best, most memorable wedding they had ever attended. I cannot possibly recommend them enough! If you’re on the fence, get off of it and go with Sugar Hollow!

We had such a great time at Sugar Hollow Retreat. It was three days of relaxing and spending time with family and friends. And the best part was getting married at the end! Nicole and Jamie were so helpful during the whole process, and especially on the wedding day. Kaileigh was also extremely helpful with any questions that we had along the way! For any couples who wants to slow their wedding weekend down, we highly recommend Sugar Hollow!

We had our wedding at Sugar Hollow Retreat on 08/19/23 and it was perfect!! The views are unreal and photos don’t do them justice! We were able to have a very unique wedding experience as you rent the whole property from Thursday to Sunday. We had a Welcome Party on their overlook deck on Thursday night to welcome guests as they came into town. We had a Brunch and Rehearsal Dinner on the patio at OverMountain Hall on Friday. And our wedding Saturday was perfect! We also loved the fact that so many of our guests were able to stay on site. They are building even more cabins to allow for more guests! We received so many compliments on how unique our wedding was and how the bridal party and close family enjoyed being able to stay on the property together. One of the things that really drew me to this venue was the flexibility they offered. Some of the other venues we looked at were extremely strict on what vendors you could use and access to the venue. Sugar Hollow Retreat has fantastic coordinators! Nicole and Jamie were fabulous to work with! They were very helpful with the planning process and worked with us to make the things that were important to us work such as having a plated dinner. Highly recommend having your wedding at Sugar Hollow Retreat! - Alyssa and Graham

Sugar Hollow Retreat was the perfect venue for a destination wedding. Guests who traveled pretty far were happy with the lodging provided and very pleased. The views were amazing, as well as the venue itself and other locations on the property. Nicole and Jamie were amazing and helped my wedding inspiration come to life! All details big and small were handled professionally and thoughtfully, allowing for the day/weekend to run smoothly. The property and coordinators were nothing less than perfection, highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about this venue. Beyond the natural beauty and gorgeous reception hall are all the little details that make it so special. They have beautiful tables and chairs, a huge caterer’s kitchen, an ice maker, a massive fireplace that can be customized with pictures and decor, a gorgeous suite for the bridal party to get ready, modern hookups for the DJ….no detail has been left out. There are numerous places to take amazing photos as well. But honestly the thing that made our day the most special wasn’t a thing at all; it was the people. On our first visit we met with Marty. She made us feel so welcome and answered all our initial questions. The wedding coordinator, Nicole French, is nothing short of amazing! She, along with her helper, Jamie, took our vision to the next level! She was there every step of the way, making sure that all the details were taken care of. The service she provides is truly priceless! We were able to relax and enjoy the day. For that I will be eternally grateful! I highly recommend Sugar Hollow Retreat!!

Our wedding at Sugar Hollow Retreat in June 2023 was nothing short of perfection. The views, the planning staff, the cabins that brought our family and friends together for an unforgettable vacation, and did I mention the views? It was like getting married in the clouds. The background was so pretty it almost felt like a green screen. I would highly recommend Sugar Hollow to any destination bride looking for a secluded mountain wedding.

Prepare to be enchanted and delighted! Our wedding at Sugar Hollow Retreat was a dream come true, offering an experience that surpassed all expectations. If you're seeking a remote, beautifully stunning, and absolutely wonderful place to tie the knot, look no further! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the sheer beauty and sophistication of Sugar Hollow Retreat. The entire weekend was a seamless fusion of elegance and grace, providing an extraordinary and enchanting escape for our wedding celebration. The accommodations were not only exceptionally clean but also well tended to, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone. Our guests who stayed onsite couldn't stop raving about the impeccable attention to detail and the charming ambiance. The Overmountain Hall is the centerpiece and left us and our guests breathless. Its stunning elegance and ethereal allure created a magical setting for our ceremony and reception. We wholeheartedly recommend Sugar Hollow Retreat to couples in search of their dream wedding venue. The team's professionalism, dedication, and commitment to creating an unforgettable experience are truly commendable. Trust us, you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Sugar Hollow Retreat, for turning our wedding into a stupendous event. Our hearts are forever grateful for the magical memories you helped us create.

Not only was this facility absolutely gorgeous, helping me live out my mountain wedding dreams but it was upscale and clean. The staff did everything to make the day easy for me as a bride. I could not recommend this place more. If you want a mountain wedding on the east side of the States - Sugar Hollow is the BEST choice <3 you could make.

Sugar Hollow Retreat is undeniably one of the most beautiful venues you can find for a wedding. In addition to that, the on property lodging and amenities for your guests make this venue a truly unique and memorable experience. The planning, service, and experience of the staff is excellent. The knowledge they have regarding wedding planning in general and the vendors specific to the area was a huge help as we worked through all the details. We planned our wedding from out of state and the vast majority of our guests were from out of state as well. We had 65 guests stay on property with us Thursday through Sunday, and they all remarked about both the beauty of the location as well as how clean, well-equipped, and unique the different houses on property are. We catered in 3 meals (including our wedding night and rehearsal dinner) and provided 3 additional meals via Publix pickup with no issues. All of the planning done between us and the venue staff made it so that once we were there, we didn't have to leave property once all weekend. It truly allowed us to relax and enjoy time with our family and friends. The staff was also very flexible with us and the specific things that were important to us for our wedding. For example, we had our DJ keep the music going until 2am and some guests continued an after party even beyond that. Lastly, the staff was always around on property for anything we needed and to make sure the rehearsal and wedding day went smoothly. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to stay for a weekend with their guests in one of the most beautiful locations I have ever seen. We couldn't have asked for anything better for our wedding day.

Sugar Hollow is the wedding destination dreams are made of! The setting is stunning and serene, and the staff is unmatched. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding experience. We opted for the all inclusive package, and the coordinator, Nicole French, really make the entire experience so easy and stress free! She booked all of the vendors, discussed seating arrangement options, decor, literally everything down to how much alcohol we needed to purchase for our guest count. Phenomenal experience all around. The quality of everything from the rooms, to the vendors, to the planning and execution was beyond anything we could have hoped for. The coordinator Nicole French is amazing to work with! Her communication was excellent and she handled everything so beautifully that there was no stress leading up to or during the day of the event. All of our guests cannot stop raving about how stunning and fun the entire weekend was! I cannot recommend Sugar Hollow enough, we truly had the wedding of our dreams and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Sugar Hollow Retreat is the perfect place to get married! A secluded property with beautiful views of the Smoky Mountains. Lodging on site for over 65 people made it great weekend getaway for all of our guests. The coordinator Nicole was incredibly helpful and made everything go smoothly the entire weekend. Wautaga Lake is very close and recommend renting boats and exploring the lake. There is limited cellular signal which made us happy because it made all of our guests hang out instead of being on their phones. Highly recommend getting married here!!

We had the most magical wedding day and weekend celebration with family and friends at SHR. The staff was so accommodating to all onsite guests and so helpful with the wedding day setup. The peace and tranquility that comes from the blissful smokey mountains were absolutely remarkable. Nicole was wonderful throughout the whole process from the tour to the day of. She put all the details together more than my wildest dreams and took all stress of planning away. We love Sugar Hollow and just hope our friends and family have a wedding there in the future so we can come back!!

We had our wedding at sugar hollow retreat and it was AMAZING. Nicole, Jamie, Kayleigh and the staff were SO on top of everything. Nicole goes above and beyond to keep you in the loop and I truly never was stressed. Booking was so simple, the venue/lodging was beautiful and so clean. Our friends and family were all complimenting the venue the entire weekend. There was plenty of space for friends and family to stay (since we are out of town visitors) and we had plenty of space to visit and just enjoy our time with everyone. We had a mishap with our rehearsal dinner vendor and Nicole was at the cabin within 10 minutes of my frantic phone call and had an entire rehearsal dinner to us in less than 30 minutes. I cannot say enough good things. The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly and I genuinely just enjoyed 3 days worth of relaxing and marrying the man of my dreams. WELL worth the $, sugar hollow retreat is absolutely fabulous.

Sugar hollow is a great selection for couples having a mid to large wedding and wanting all their guest to stay on site. The venue comes with a wedding planner for the weekend package and decor. There were 5 cabins and the lodge was perfect for all the wedding party and friends. All the kitchens were supplied with updated appliances and utensils. We wished our stay was longer and the cell phone reception better. But that’s the only complaints.

Sugar Hollow Retreat is a brides dream venue! I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Over Mountain Hall & it was amazing in every way! The staff are exceptional and the venue is absolutely breathtaking. Nicole, Kaleigh, and Marty went above and beyond to help make the day as perfect as possible. Highly recommend!!!

I'm going to try to fit all the amazing things about this venue in one review, but it may be difficult. I truly can not say enough good things about Sugar Hollow. My husband and I both have large families from all over the country and knew we wanted a space to REALLY spend time with them, and show them the beauty of East TN. Sugar Hollow provided that and then some. First of all, the views from the venue/property are truly some of the best we have ever seen (and we are from East TN ourselves). The cabins/houses are so homey and versatile, but the property gave our friends and family so many things to do outside of them. From lawn games and fires, to hiking or kayaking, it gave everyone space to do their own thing throughout the day. One of our absolute favorite things was having the ability to have everyone on site gather at The Lodge Thursday/Friday night for dinner. We provided dinner and drinks both evenings, and even had live music Friday night for our rehearsal dinner. The Lodge became a beautiful gathering place all weekend, and besides actually getting married, the time spent there with our closest friends and family was hands down the most memorable and best time of the weekend and debatably our entire lives. Now onto the actual wedding and Overmountain Hall.. I couldn't have dreamed a more beautiful spot to get married. The hall had everything we possibly needed, including the most gorgeous bridal suite that even had windows that allowed me and my bridesmaids to watch people roll in for the ceremony (one of my favorite parts). We are still receiving compliments on the views from OMH and the hall itself. My husband says the view of the mountains behind me as we said our vows was the best view he's seen in his entire life. As if the venue itself wasn't a dream, Nicole and Kaleigh (and Marty!) were SO helpful during the planning process and were there what seemed 24/7 to answer all the questions I had. They felt like friends at the end of the process. Really, truly, this place is magical and the magic was felt the entire weekend by my husband and I and our guests. There are SO many more details I could include and boast about, but this review would be endless. Sugar Hollow was THE best decision we made for our wedding and I would recommend it (and do it) over and over and over again.

Sugar Hollow looks like a dream wedding location, and Nicole and Kaleigh turned that dream into reality! My husband and I live in Italy, and Nicole was SO accommodating and helpful during the planning of our wedding up to the weekend of. Our wedding day turned out to be perfect, and was not stressful at all due to the professionalism and positivity Nicole brought to ensure everything ran smoothly. Our family and friends could not stop telling us all weekend and even now that our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. We do not regret ANYTHING about choosing Sugar Hollow for our wedding! This venue truly deserves a 5 star rating!

Having gone through my sisters wedding around the same time as mine (mine was at sugar hollow) the main thing that is priceless about sugar hollow is the flexibility. They are so accommodating and flexible and it is so nice with all the variables that can go wrong for an entire weekend event. One thing to make sure you have a good solution for is coordinating rides around the venue since most things aren’t walking distance. You won’t regret having your wedding here!

Having our wedding at Sugar Hollow was truly a magical experience! We really wanted a wedding weekend where we had more than just one day to celebrate with our family and friends, and Sugar Hollow offered just that! Having on site accommodations was such a convince and really added to our whole experience. We had all of our bridal party stay in the lodge with us, and our family’s stayed in the other on-site cabins. Everyone loved their cabins and said how comfortable their beds were. The lodge, the largest cabin, was big enough for us to host a brunch on Friday morning, with all the equipment we needed to serve a large crowd. It served as a gathering place for everyone for the whole weekend and it was perfect. Everyone had a private room, but could also congregate in the bar or by the fireplace. Sugar hollow has several options for your ceremony location, so we used one of their locations, the overlook deck as our first look location. We wanted all of our friends and family to experience all the beauty this venue had to offer so we planned a group hike on Friday to the overlook deck, it was the perfect spot for photos with everyone and we loved that everyone got to see the spot where we would do our private first look. There are tons of trails on the property but we took a gravel road up to the overlook so it was easily accessible for people of all ages. A few of our guests also used some of the trails during down time. On of the other locations on the property is the Overmountain Hall, which was too beautiful to use just once, so we had our rehearsal dinner there, where we had a fire and played bags. The day of the wedding us girls got ready in their beautiful bridal suite, equipped with Hollywood mirrors and cute decor which was perfect for getting ready pictures. Our ceremony took place right outside of Overmountain Hall and it was just breathtaking with the sunset in the mountains behind us. We loved their covered patio and side patios with cocktail tables right outside of overmountain to use for our cocktail hour. The reception space at Overmountian Hall was everything we wanted and more! Just stunning! Their catering kitchen and bar came in handy, and the space was perfect for our group. One of my favored things about this space is their fireplace, and their beautiful tables and chairs! To top off the beauty of Sugar Hollow their staff is amazing! Marty, the owner is the property checked in with us when we arrived to make sure everything was okay, and she was so sweet! She went above and beyond to help us during our wedding weekend and even helped us intercept a very important package to prevent a groomsman attire mishap. Kaleigh, the main coordinator at Sugar Hollow is one of the reasons that we booked Sugar Hollow. She was so amazing helping with vendor suggestions, and making my vision come to life. Even their maintenance man was so nice from the second we came for our tour, to helping set up the day of. Our friends and family just raved about how much they loved the venue, and we loved that we got to share such an amazing experience with them! With all that this venue has to offer, there is no beating it!

If you are an adventurous couple looking for a unique, gorgeous, and special venue, you can't go wrong with Sugar Hollow. Of course, the views, the property, and Overmountain Hall are absolutely gorgeous. It is also truly a retreat--our guests absolutely loved getting to spend the whole weekend together and it made logistics easier too. Kaleigh is so lovely to work with and is extremely experienced in wedding planning and coordinating; I was shocked to find someone as detail oriented (dare I say obsessed) as myself, but Kaleigh did not disappoint!

Kaleigh..the best!! Sugar Hollow..the best!! Beyond obsessed with this venue and the amazing coordinator. We definitely didn't want to leave and neither could our guests. All weekend long we heard our guests saying how beautiful the venue was and that it was the best wedding they've ever been to and we couldn't agree more.

When my husband and I first visited this venue, we knew it’d be perfect for our wedding day! It’s has the most breathtaking views, plenty of lodging for out of town guests, and the greatest staff. Kaleigh was absolutely amazing to work with! She provided us with a list of vendors which was a huge help since we were doing everything out of state. Her expertise and communication skills were top notch. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was without her and her team!

We had our wedding weekend at Sugar Hollow on 6/26/21 and I cannot possibly imagine a better venue for what we were searching for. It was absolutely perfect. In our search for the perfect venue, we had two simple criteria: We wanted to get married in the mountains and have as many of our guests be able to stay on-site as possible. After visiting several other venues in NC and VA, we were referred to Sugar Hollow by Aleta who owns Frugal Gourmet Catering (more on her later) right down the road. We liked all of the other venues (House Mountain Inn, Twickenham, 12 Ridges Vineyard) but all were too small or had other logistical problems for us. Aleta did such a good job of selling us on Sugar Hollow that we showed up for our tour with Kaleigh with a bottle of champagne on ice. Immediately following the tour, we walked to the car, popped the cork, and took a glass in to celebrate with Kaleigh, knowing we had found our perfect venue. It is unlikely that anyone has ever made more use of all of the amenities of the property than we did. Our schedule went like this: Thursday - BBQ Dinner at the Lodge for ~120 people, followed by a sunset cocktail hour at the Overlook Deck Friday - Rehearsal dinner on the patio at Overmountain Hall for ~140 people, followed by an after-party with a band on the back patio of the Lodge Saturday - First Look at the Overlook Deck, followed by the wedding and reception at Overmountain Hall with ~200 people, followed by a Midnight-4AM late night party back at the Lodge patio. We had ~65 people staying on-site and most of our out-of-town guests rented all of the nearby cabins. Guests who were only in town for one night stayed at the Hampton Inn in Boone and we used Air Haven Limousine to transport them out via shuttle. If you have guests who are staying in Boone and planning to drink, a shuttle is imperative. While I have tons of praise for Sugar Hollow, I have even more for Aleta and her team at Frugal Gourmet. Without her we wouldn't have even known about Sugar Hollow (we thought it was too small because they hadn't updated their capacity since they were still finishing up Overmountain Hall) and her communication, professionalism, and food were top notch for 14 months as we planned the wedding. More over, we used her in a way that no one else ever had but I would highly suggest everyone else using this venue should. We charged our guests a higher rate for the three-night weekend (~$600 per room), but offered them breakfast every morning and dinner/alcohol every evening. Aleta's team catered all of this and her servers were invaluable in keeping people out of the Lodge kitchen and making sure it was also spotless when they left and when they arrived. Why deal with the hassle of all of your guests trying to cook meals simultaneously or you cooking in bulk for them? Aleta's prices are reasonable and it was well worth the added costs passed onto our guests for them to not have to worry about meals and clean up. Kaleigh was great to work with throughout and has become a friend we will stay in touch with long after the emotions of the weekend wear off. Marty is another unsung hero of the place who has run the day-to-day stuff for years. By far and away the most popular question we've gotten is, "How in the world did you find this incredible place?" I've run out of allotted characters but SHR is a 10/10 and I cannot imagine a better venue for a wedding of 100-200 people, especially for a full weekend.

I can't say enough good things about Sugar Hollow. First of all, the place itself is BEAUTIFUL. Everyone who attended or even just saw pictures of the day absolutely raves about the views and the space and how beautiful it all is, and they are right. I wish I could include the pictures, but they won't do it justice. Also, the staff and everyone on site are WONDERFUL. Kaleigh and Julianna are a dream planning team. Not only did they communicate with me so well (and answer all my panic texts promptly), we also heard from all our other vendors how well they communicated with them too. They made the day so easy and stress free for me (not an easy feat). Also Marty, the caretaker, made sure we had everything we needed and all the spaces were set up so well for my guests. She also took care of a minor crises thanks to Mother Nature and handled it like a boss. I am already recommending this place to anyone I can and would get married here again in a heartbeat. Having all our out of state friends and family there with us the whole weekend was so special and they're all still talking about how fun it was. It was absolutely perfect for our day.

We cannot recommend Sugar Hollow enough for your wedding day. The photos of this gorgeous venue speak for themselves. What made this venue even more perfect than the incredible views alone was how helpful, kind, and fun Kaleigh and everyone working alongside her were from start to finish. You will not regret one second of the time you get to spend working with Kaleigh! Not only is she knowledgeable and professional, she is such a wonderful person and we had so much fun going through this process with her! She was always available for advice about the best vendors and ideas for planning, and she made me feel relaxed and at ease with every conversation we had along the way. Another factor that made Sugar Hollow really special to us was being able to spend the entire wedding weekend on site with our closest friends and family. The wedding day felt like the cherry on top of a fun mountain getaway with our loved ones, and the fact that the fun didn’t have to end after the reception was a huge plus! You can’t go wrong booking Sugar Hollow for your wedding!

Such an amazing experience here! Not only did Kaleigh help coordinate the wedding to make sure everything was perfect, she made sure we truly enjoyed our day and didn’t let us stress about anything the day of. All of our guests had an amazing time and made a little vacation of their own. We got married at the amphitheater and everyone raved about the views. Our pictures were amazing! It was also so convenient to have cabins onsite so you didn’t have to travel far after reception.

There are not enough words to describe how awesome Sugar Hollow Retreat is for your wedding. We booked it sight unseen and would do it again. The views are AMAZING. The crew is amazing, Kaleigh makes sure the bride has the least amount of stress she can the day of and after as well as provides eye drops for allergies if needed. :) The accommodations onsite are awesome and honestly EVERYONE told us how amazing our wedding weekend was. I love Sugar Hollow and can't wait to make it a tradition to stay onsite for anniversaries in the future.

Sugar Hollow is an incredibly beautiful venue! There really is nothing else like it. So many unique and incredible views and the brand new Overmountain Hall is a fantastic reception area. We loved having our close friends and family stay onsite with us so that we could party all weekend long! Kaleigh was one of our greatest assets on the wedding day and made it so that I didn't even have to lift a finger. When we first toured I fell in love with the view, there was just a slab where the new hall would be. I put my faith in Sugar Hollow and in Kaleigh and it turned out perfectly! We wouldn't have done it any other way.

Sugar Hollow Retreat will forever hold a special place in my heart. This venue has absolutely everything you could want and need to create the most magical weekend for you, your spouse, and your closest family and friends. I will always be thankful I found Sugar Hollow Retreat and thankful for the staff that went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our weekend absolutely perfect and everything we dreamed of. Here are a just a few highlights: -The most romantic setting saying our vows in front of picturesque mountain views. Our pictures (shout out Mandy Rhoden Photography) are STUNNING. -After our ceremony, my husband and I were given a private dinner on the Overlook Deck so we could have 20 - 30 minutes to be alone together right after becoming husband and wife (this was very important to me). -A private, remote location, and a whole weekend to spend with our closest family and friends. Our guests had SO much fun staying in the cabins, hiking the trails, and enjoying nature. Every single one of our guests raved about how unique our wedding was and about how much fun they had. -The newly built Overmountain Hall for the reception is a showstopper!! The layout, design, bridal suite, landscape, mountain views.....I can't even describe how perfect it all came together. I could go on and on about the venue, but I can't run out of characters before I get to the hidden gem of Sugar Hollow Retreat....... and that is the Wedding Planner/Day-Of Wedding Coordinator, Kaleigh! Kaleigh is an absolute ROCKSTAR. The sweetest human being ever that truly understands your vision and MAKES. IT. HAPPEN! She was always accommodating, understanding, and took as much off my plate as she possibly could. She got to know me as a bride, and as a person. I truly felt how important it was to her to make sure our wedding was everything we wanted and that my husband and I got to enjoy the weekend and not worry about anything. Kaleigh gave me great advice along the way and was always extremely organized. Being a 2020 bride came with challenges, and I am so grateful that I had Kaleigh to help guide me through planning a wedding during such a challenging year. Kaleigh is one of the most hardworking women I have ever met, and one of the kindest, as well. I'll never be able to thank her enough. You will not regret booking Sugar Hollow Retreat. This wedding venue is going to start booking FAST, because there is nothing else like it! We are so happy to be a part of the Sugar Hollow Retreat family!

What an absolutely amazing venue! Being only the second wedding in their new Hall facility overlooking the mountains, I can't say anything bad! Kaleigh did an amazing job of ensuring everything went smoothly with no hiccups! The views are PRICELESS, and we rented the facility for the weekend. I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Don't second guess - book this venue!!!

Sugar Hollow was the perfect venue for us! The scenery was beautiful and we were able to stay in the same place as our guests. Kaleigh, the coordinator for Sugar Hollow, was amazing! She was always helpful and professional. She was great to work with.

Disappointed with the communication. Was ready to book and confirmed dates and prices. However I was sent the wrong price on my invoice to pay, so They said they would update abd send back to me. It took a week to get a response back saying they could not turn over the venue in time for me from a wedding 48hrs in advance. I had envisioned my whole wedding here now I am booking another venue that makes me feel welcomed.

Sugar Hollow is the ultimate wedding venue!!! We lived near the area and it was still like having a destination wedding. The location is gorgeous and private! Our guests loved it and haven't stopped talking about it!! We were able to have a wedding and have a place were could book overnight and not be asked to leave after a few hours for a reception. This is not the place where you will be charged an hourly rate. There are so many advantages to booking here! Now that I have talked about the location, I have to talk about how helpful, professional and just wonderful the people that work there are. We talked with Marty, Rex and Kaleigh. Marty is just amazing, available on the property and so caring and helpful. She was there when we toured the venue the first time and really help solidify our decision to book. Rex was available for any questions and everyone was very timely in their response. Last but not least, Kaleigh, who is the most supportive person. Kaleigh is the wedding planner that comes with the venue!! She saved the day more than once and was there every step of the way! We were so happy with Sugar Hollow! We had our dream wedding, better than we ever could imagine! I know anyone who gets married here will have the same experience!
