The days leading up to it they were detail oriented, thorough, and truly sought out OUR idea of a perfect wedding. The FOOD — there are no words, Satima worked with us to create a menu to DIE for, each aspect is perfectly matched and blends into the next. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, staff, and now friends. 10/10 recommend The Farm. 🤍

Having good food was very important to us and the menu coordinator and chef worked very closely with us to design a menu that reflected both of our cultures. We had so many people come up to us afterwards and say that it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding! They also worked with us to create the most delicious signature cocktails ever!!!

are a well oiled machine, the grounds and building are gorgeous, and it fit what I was going for. A lot of people seem to gravitate towards super rustic weddings in barns, but that was not quite my style. The Farm fit a perfect balance of rustic, but more elegant and upscale. Anything we wanted or envisioned for our wedding, they could do for us or had done before (within reason and weather permitting of course). We took advantage of the onsite cabins, which was fantastic for getting ready and ending the day - no driving or walking very far! Our day-of coordinator Shannon was amazing, I am prone to lots of anxiety and she really made everything as stress free as possible in the month and days leading up to the wedding. I'm also the kind of person who doesn't believe anything can be perfect, something always goes wrong right? Wrong, our wedding was absolutely perfect and if anything went wrong, I surely was not aware! I was able to turn over wedding favors, send-off materials, photos, table place cards, etc. to Shannon and never had to worry about those things again. They were all put out for us and anything needing to go home with us was put together carefully and placed in our cabin at the end of the night. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all set up beautifully and exactly how I envisioned. We were able to have lawn games since the weather was so nice, but also a hot chocolate and apple cider bar that was decorated beautifully and was a huge hit. The food was amazing, many of our friends and family still talk about how delicious the appetizers were and dinner was a hit as well! The staff made sure we found time to sit down and eat, they were super attentive to us, but even so we were given any remaining leftovers (including slices of our cake!) to take with us that night. Last but certainly not least, it was a fantastic place for photos! Our wedding photos that we took all over the grounds came out phenomenal. I couldn't be happier that we chose the Farm and I would highly recommend it!

They supported all of our Northern Wedding Traditions, helped us with a 3 course meal (dancing in between) and ensured everything went smoothly. Thank you to the amazing Farm team! Hands down one of the best wedding venues and customer service we had.

They care deeply about you, your family, and executing your vision. From making sure myself and my husband ate throughout the day, to hiding us away so guests wouldn't see us, to executing a rain plan and space flip without the guests even noticing.

ments. We knew that this was where we wanted to get married. They provided a list of recommended vendors, which was so helpful with us living in Atlanta. We booked all of our vendors from their list and had most key details in place before COVID hit. Then, we found ourselves in a pandemic. The Farm clearly communicated every step of the way. They quickly built an outdoor pavilion to further accommodate their couples and were as flexible as they could possibly be throughout the process with COVID guidelines, mask policies, temperature checks at the door, and everything we needed to feel safe and comfortable. We safely attended 'The Taste of the Farm' event and stayed onsite to experience one of their beautiful cabins. We had Zoom calls throughout planning and loved getting to know Emily even better as we got closer to our day! Emily was so incredibly attentive, kind, and always helped us stay focused on it being our day. She helped us figure out any challenge that came our way and made us feel so special! Also, the food was absolutely delicious, and on the day of, Satima always made sure we had everything we needed. I specifically remember feeling myself getting stressed right after the group photos as we were trying to make sure we quickly captured everyone since it was cold outside. Satima brought a warm cup of water to hold in our hands and one of our delicious custom cocktails. At one time, I thought "where did my faux fur wrap go?", and there it was on my chair waiting for me at the reception. Melissa came to pick me up in the golf cart and helped me remember to grab my bouquet. Right before I walked down the aisle, Emily helped adjust my veil. These are just a few of so many instances throughout the day and evening where the staff supported us. The entire team at The Farm made the experience so seamless and made it possible for us to have our dream wedding in the middle of a pandemic.

10 person wedding wasn't our original vision The Farm helped to make our wedding day feel like we planned it from the start. They took a one day, 130 person celebration and made a four day, 10 person wedding weekend! We were able to get pampered for an entire weekend all thanks to The Farm. Many other venues were canceling during this scary time. The Farm took this set back in stride and managed to give us an even better weekend while following all local and federal restrictions. We felt safe and cared for during the entire process. Having to change our entire wedding a few months before could have stressed anyone out. Luckily, The Farm saw this as a fun challenged and were excited to think up a new vision for us. They even made it a point to make all of our guests feel special by catering the bar options to their tastes (I.E a Bourbon Bar for the Dad's, Gin and Tonic bar for mom's, speciality mocktails for a pregnant Matron of honor and a cigar lounge for the groom's brothers). The Farm isn't in the wedding business to just make money; they truly care for their clients and want each wedding to be the best it can be. My husband and I can say for certain our wedding would not have been the same without The Farm. Words cannot express how thankful we are for them.

I absolutely cannot say enough nice things about this place. The venue itself is gorgeous! There are so many options for a ceremony/reception, and one thing that really worked for me was the indoor option is almost (those mountains are hard to beat!) as beautiful as the outdoor option. It was comforting to me that I knew if it rained/was too cold I would not be disappointed if we had to have everything inside. Fortunately, we were able to have the ceremony outside, and the pictures look like they are straight out of a magazine with the beautiful background. Our guests are still talking about it-- most have said this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Anyone that is even remotely considering getting hitched in NC absolutely should check out The Farm! I cannot imagine a more perfect venue/staff exists!

years before the wedding. In that year and a half, we visited several times and experienced some of their special events such as culinary escapes and cooking classes. Everything The Farm does is on point! Our wedding was June 8th and EVERYTHING was fantastic. First of all, we booked all of the cabins on the property for family members of the bride and groom. This gave us some extra time to spend together and get to know each other. The “cabins” are beautiful and very comfortable. We all enjoyed exploring the property, playing with the horses and “Donkey” the burro. For the wedding, Bethany Holder was our wedding coordinator. She was beyond amazing! For a year and a half, she patiently and expertly answered all of my questions and gave us guidance on every aspect of the wedding. A couple of weeks before the wedding, she took over all the communications with vendors and developed a detailed timeline. She executed our dream wonderfully. And on the day of the wedding, she and the staff did EVERYTHING! It was like I was a guest at our daughter’s wedding. The wedding and reception were beautiful. We had 170 people. The wedding was outside under a clear tent and the reception was inside/outside. We had a large band and there was plenty of room for the stage and dancing. Chef Mike and the kitchen staff outdid themselves: appetizers of homegrown tomato bruschetta, chicken and waffles, ahi tuna. Our main courses were shrimp and grits, flank steak and gnocchi with roasted vegetables. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Several guests commented that it was not only the best wedding food they had ever had, but the best meal they have ever had! Brad and the bar staff created and served fantastic signature cocktails; a seasonal Old Fashioned and a spicy cucumber vodka drink. Throughout the dinner and reception, the staff were attentive to every detail, even pushing in chairs, clearing plates and straightening napkins if a guest left their seat so the venue always looked lovely. We did have a downpour on the day of the wedding, and we elected to have the ceremony in a clear tent with an arbor in front of the horse pasture instead of under the gazebo. It was beautiful. And immediately after the ceremony the white dappled horses came over for wedding photos with the bride and groom and guests. We could not have planned it better, but I suspect The Farm staff had a lot to do with the timing! Earlier in the day, we had one snafu with the tent gutter but after putting our heads together with Bethany and the venue manager, we were able to resolve the issue in time for the ceremony. As the bride and groom exited, the guests blew bubbles. And the bubble machine provided by The Farm, made for beautiful photos. Rather than a late-night snack, we wanted to provide our guests with Bojangles chicken biscuits as they boarded the buses.

ur search a year prior to our wedding and narrowed our options down to 4 different outdoor venues in and around Asheville. The Farm was our unanimous #1 choice and we lucked into a late spring date. From that point on, we planned our entire wedding from across the country, which is an attest to how amazing the staff is at The Farm. Our wedding planner was changed about halfway through the year, due to staffing changes, which could have been every bride’s nightmare, but our second planner, Kirin, was even more attentive to our needs. We only visited one more time prior to the actual weekend, but we still felt completely in control and that our wishes were being met and exceeded on all fronts. Each time we had a question, we could call or email Kirin at the Farm and we’d have an answer, and more ideas, within a few hours. One of the best aspects of having a wedding at the Farm is that there is so much included with the wedding- The tables, settings, decorations, chairs, etc- It’s all included and that’s one less thing that you have to think about. We also decided to have their in house chef, Mike, be our caterer. The food was better than incredible. Our guests raved about it. He allowed us to tell him our favorite foods, and ideas that we had about sharing local cuisine (we’re both from NC originally), with our West Coast visitors (we now live in California). The day of our wedding was perfect. Everything we had asked and planned for was exactly how we had pictured it. Each event of the day flowed seamlessly from one to the next, just as the scheduled was planned.. The staff was incredible during our ceremony, during dinner and dancing, and at the end of the night. Kirin even drove down the road at 10:00 PM and bought us 100 bojangles biscuits that we had asked to share with our guests when they boarded the buses home. Talk about a hit! Four months later, people are still talking about those biscuits. We can’t thank the Farm enough for providing us exactly what we needed to plan a perfect wedding, from afar, with everything included, at such a reasonable price.

The Farm is an absolute dream. Our immediate families and bridal parties stayed in The Farm's cottages for three nights (Thursday-Sunday). That was something truly special… to all be staying in beautiful cottages on the wedding venue site with ...
your loved ones is a gift. It made the weekend feel more like a vacation with all of your loved ones rather than a stressful one-night thing. I can't explain how amazing it was! The ceremony in the gazebo and the reception were just magical. Everything was so breathtakingly beautiful. The Farm provided all of the dishes, linens, and supplies (like mason jars, props, chalkboards, corn hole, etc).. and that made the reception a stress-free and really fun event for everyone. Multiple people told me it was by far the best wedding they have ever been to- and that there was something special about the wedding. I think what was special was The Farm. I wish I could go back in time and be back on the Farm again. The staff is amazing, kind, helpful, and accommodating. It truly felt like home.. and like a dream. So much love and gratitude :)

My husband and I knew from the second we arrived at The Farm that we wanted to get married there. It doesn't get much better, visually and location wise. Our experience working with Kirin as our event coordinator was extremely smooth and she pu...
t up with all of my crazy last minute changes. Not only were they responsive, they provide lists of vendors to use, who all turned out to be AMAZING. If you do have the pleasure of getting married here, I would recommend renting the cabins on site as well. They are cozy, spacious, accommodating and convenient! Everything about our wedding weekend was perfect and we truly have The Farm to thank for that!

I chose The Farm to get married in for my wedding a few weeks ago and it was absolutely a fabulous experience! I had Kirin as my coordinator and she went above and beyond to get all of the crazy little things I planned to come to life. The plan...
ning process was a joy with her and The Farm gave great recommendations for vendors. We used many of their recommendations and all of them were phenomenal. Kirin brought my outdoor vision to life and took care of every little detail which made for a non-stressful wedding day and a perfect wedding and reception. The Farm is so beautiful and provided such an amazing back drop for my guests and photographers. Having the cabins on site, and allowing me to use the space in different ways made the experience feel more unique and homely then other venues I looked at. The Farm is very organized about the planning process which keeps you on track and Kirin, is extremely helpful and calming during the planning process. I really can not sing her phrases enough. Over all, I was blown away by how smooth everything came together and how magical the night was. I highly recommend using The Farm for your wedding! I wish I could do it all again! Aviva and Graham

We had our wedding at The Farm and couldn't be happier with the venue and staff. In the year of planning, they were extremely responsive, helpful, and kind. Andrea, Kirin, and everyone else we worked with were the definition of professional, fr...
iendly, and patient. The venue itself is so naturally beautiful, but when decorated, our jaw dropped as it completely transformed into the most gorgeous wedding setting. They have pretty much every item you need for decor, which makes planning a lot easier. When I had no idea what I was doing, they were quick to suggest options and give their opinions. On the day of, they made sure everything went smoothly. We also stayed on the property, as did a handful of our wedding guests and highly recommend the cabins for the guests and bride/groom cottage. The cabins are rustic, yet updated and comfortable. I will absolutely be back for a quiet getaway at the Chesnut Cabin! I would highly recommend the Farm as a wedding venue to any bride and groom wanting a beautiful outdoor setting in the Carolina mountains! I wish we could do the day all over again :)

ting. They made sure someone was able to help us whenever we needed it and helped us enjoy the wedding stress-free. Our guests all commented on how lovely the venue was. We hardly had to buy any of our own decorations (just some flowers) because The Farm is so well-equipped. Their choices for linens, table cloths, and dishware were just what we wanted for the wedding. The lighting inside is perfect and we did not have to change a thing. I would definitely recommend getting the outdoor lighting package, it really added to the ambiance of the night.
