The Farm exceeded our expectations & delivered a day that was meaningful, fun and beautiful all at once. From our first visit to our wedding day, we felt as though we were truly taken care of. We feel so grateful to have utilized the wedding co...
ordinator service, which enabled us to really be present during our day itself, Arienne was outstanding. Seeing that we were planning this wedding from across the country, the Farm made each meeting seamless and ensured that our vision was met. However, it was so nice to trust their creative abilities - and leave some of the decor elements up to the team. The presentation of each table and the overall venue was gorgeous. The Farm also shared critical recommendations that enabled our guests to have a top notch experience, such as, leveraging a bus service for our guests. Additionally the Farm provided recommended vendors which informed our decisions and made planning that much easier. Again these recommended vendors were top-notch. Our guests were blown away by the venue, it’s elegant yet comfortable setting. And we are still hearing just how incredible the food was… and the Farm made sure we had the chance to eat too… we also agree it was spectacular. We have no regrets in how we partnered with the Farm, our experience or the memories we created! We only wish we can go back & do it all again, simply because we had that much fun! And to this day, we continue to hear from our guests that this was the best wedding they’ve ever attended… much of that credit goes to The Farm and the culture they’ve built as a team! Thank you to the entire team - we will forever cherish the memories created!

Our daughter and now husband wanted a wedding that reflected their love of the nature and the mountains, and The Farm, with its idyllic setting was absolutely the perfect choice! As a working farm, the fields of flowers and vegetables, the hor...
ses in the pasture, the rustic barns and furniture, all make this venue such a unique space. Guests arriving were so impressed and in awe of its beauty. We chose the flower-filled garden with its magnificent rustic silo and its view of the mountains for the ceremony, which made it truly memorable. The event space and pavilion, also gorgeous! The options of furniture pieces were exceptional, with beautiful farmhouse tables, french bistro chairs, crafted side tables with whiskey barrels as their base. And the decor selection was amazing, eclectic place settings, lanterns, signage, and vases — we had so many great choices. We wanted a semi-rustic, yet elegant setting and The Farm delivered! Another great experience was that our family and wedding party stayed in the cottages and cabins on the property. It was a special way for us all to be together leading up to the wedding. The Hickory and Chestnut Cabins are gorgeous, felt like going back in time, yet completely updated. I can not say enough about The Farm team and staff. The professionalism and attention to detail was top notch and an absolute pleasure to work with. From the get-go, Scott was so thoughtful and kind when meeting our daughter, we were hooked. Satima worked with us to create an amazing menu as well as executing a sit-down plated dinner for 125 guests! The selections of wine and beer were excellent and the mixologist, Kelsi, crafted some lovely signature cocktails. The food prepared by Chef Mike was outstanding! The local, fresh ingredients used creatively without being “fussy”. The late-night pizza was also a big hit. We had so many compliments from our guests that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Chef Mike was also there the next morning as we stumbled in for brunch, making Eggs Benedict and French Toast for 35! Flawless! And Shannon, our wedding coordinator, was a gem! She was so wonderful to work with and was professional, competent, and organized. We had a vision of what we wanted, and together we made it work. She coordinated with all the vendors, making that last month up to the wedding a breeze. She looked after us and the new couple on the day, to help calm the nerves, make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, looked after our older guests. She’s was attentive and caring, and we thank her! A shout out to the whole team and staff, they know what they are doing and clearly love what they do! We highly recommend The Farm for someone looking for an event to remember!

We couldn’t bid adieu to 2022 without thanking The Farm staff for hosting such an extraordinary wedding weekend for our daughter, son-in-law, and guests that the glow remains—five months later! Last summer, our Los Angeles-based daughter, who’...
s been coming to her uncle’s horse farm outside Asheville for the past 22 years, and Atlanta-raised husband had the casual mountain wedding with first-rate food that they imagined, and we had as hassle-free a celebration with 150 guests as we could ask for. From the time we toured the venue with Brad 16 months earlier to the last gluten-free take-out breakfast packed up the day after the wedding for a guest, we found the staff unfailingly friendly and prompt, whether fielding queries about food, décor, lodging, billing, dietary, or handicap accommodations. With its all-inclusive service, the seven rustic yet upscale cabins, games, horses (!), fire pit, beautiful indoor space and outdoor pavilion, The Farm had something for everyone: a safe environment for Covid-wary guests, a beautiful background for the ceremony, perfect space for dancing, cornhole for the competitive, havens throughout the property for guests to catch up away from the music, and horses to delight the toddler flower girl and septuagenarian equestrians alike. Chef Mike outdid himself with the eclectic menu dreamed up by the bride and groom, from classic Southern to vegetarian Indian to sumptuous Chinese food served in Chinese takeout boxes ordered by Joe. Wedding coordinator Arienne kept our giddy wedding party of about 20 on schedule, whisking away the bride and groom to the meadow for their golden hour pictures before all the celebrations began; Jean deftly answered all billing questions. We couldn’t have imagined a finer wedding weekend—and guests from as far away as France and Israel and as near as Candler continue to tell us so. Thank you, The Farm team—and may you continue to bring such joy in 2023!

The venue itself felt magical. The food and drinks will ruin all other wedding catering for you, shout out to Chef Mike! The catering manager, Satima, made sure we had food and drinks in our hands throughout the entire night. The bar manager, Kelsi, perfectly nailed our signature cocktails; she had worked with us to find drinks that fit both of our tastes and personalities. Our coordinator, Arienne, made sure every single detail was taken care of and kept our timeline on track. We also loved the cabins on the property which allowed our entire wedding party to stay onsite.

When we saw the beautiful setting at the Farm, the perfect mountain cabins on site, and the wood-fired pizza oven behind the state of the art kitchen, we knew we had picked the perfect venue for the two of us. We could not have been happier with our choice. The staff is very professional, organized, and together they run a well oiled-machine - each contributing with their areas of expertise. Satima & Chef Mike helped us design the wedding menu of our dreams that featured local NC food (and Satima hand delivered us the appetizers that we selected during family photos so that we could enjoy them!), Kelsi helped us design a special bar menu that featured beers that my husband's brewery produced, Arienne worked with our incredible external planner (Events by Kiersa) to make sure no detail was left unnoticed and that a special family veil photo display was perfect, and the owners Bev and Myron always welcomed us with big smiles when we saw them on site during visits. They even magically were able to order us a rainbow for right after our ceremony (*with no rain). If you are looking for a beautiful place with strong organization and amazing food, the Farm is a great spot!

On August 6th, 2022, we had the pleasure of getting married at The Farm in Candler, NC. For several years we have lived just down the street from this beautiful property and have always enjoyed passing by, with curiosity, on our drives home. Wh...
en it came time to choose a wedding venue, we toured a few places in the area. While each place we toured had mountain charms or other elements that we liked, we knew we found the perfect venue 10 minutes after arriving at The Farm. Here's why: While the mountain vistas are not as prominent as elsewhere, The Farm feels more “in the mountains.” The groundskeepers know how to leverage the natural beauty of local plants to make the landscaping feel organic while also thoughtfully designed. Apparently, the owner is a skilled woodworker and has built the several cabins on site, the barns and much of the rustic and refined furnishings. Everything has a hand-crafted personal touch. Working with the staff at The Farm was just as personalized. Every member of the staff was a pleasure to work with. They all communicated clearly and professionally while also being genuinely friendly. The Farm is a nearly full-service event space. We interacted with their catering staff, bartenders, and event coordinator. The only things we outsourced were the cake, florist, entertainment and photographer. Right off the bat, you can tell that this team is competent, professional, and they truly care about making your wedding as perfect as you can imagine. Our trust in them eased any anxiety about the details or execution leading up to, and on, the day of the wedding. Specifically, we want to highlight our event coordinator, Shannon Killbride, who shepherded us through the entire planning process, the rehearsal, and most importantly the wedding day itself. She made the entire process stress free and a joy. She worked well with all of the vendors that we brought in, was respectful to our families and guests, and was always available when needed with champagne, a snack, gentle encouragement or water. She anticipated, along with the rest of the staff, every need, question, and concern before we could even complete the thought. The fact that The Farm has a full kitchen and staff, led by the incredibly talented Chef Mike, made menu planning with Satima, the catering coordinator, a breeze. This process was a perfect blend of options provided by Satima and Chef Mike along with our special requests. We wanted delicious food that highlighted fresh local ingredients and blended our diverse tastes. Together, they guided us towards a menu that was executed flawlessly. We chose a family style dinner with passed appetizers, but there are also plated and buffet service options. Costs and menu choices were all clearly communicated prior to the finalized menu, as well as carefully arranging for our guests with dietary restrictions. They took the added step of packing up boxes of every dish and appetizer for us to enjoy after the nerves and excitement of the day faded into late night hunger. If you want a wedding at one of the most naturally beautiful, rustic, and thoughtfully designed venues, with a staff that expertly blends professionalism, planning, communication, warmth, and fine dining, you can do no better than The Farm. We truly couldn't have been happier with our experience. Sincerely, Sam and Michael Crawford

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, staff, and now friends. 10/10 recommend The Farm. 🤍

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.

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.

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. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience at The Farm and highly recommend that you have your special day in this magical place!

The whole team at the Farm is great and went above and beyond to help us. We had a great call with the planning and business folks to discuss all our options and also to get more information on all the things they were doing to keep guests safe. It was so informative and helpful for us to make our decision about whether or not to even move forward. The kitchen staff and chef are also top class. Our menu planning was so incredibly fun and our food was just fabulous. We got a lot of compliments on the food and also the wedding in general just being very unique and fun.

We were heartbroken for many reasons, but really were disappointed that we could not have our special rehearsal dinner event at The Farm. As previously mentioned, all of The Farm team members were so helpful throughout the process, and were especially flexible and understanding with the changes. I will sing their praises to anyone who asks. Maybe we can enjoy the venue in another way sometime in the future. I know I won't have to go "shopping" for a venue in the Asheville area ever again.

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.

Myron & Beverly (owners) have thought of absolutely everything someone could possibly want in a venue, and there are so many cool details/little touches that make a wedding at The Farm so unique and memorable. We worked mostly with Bethany initially, who gave us multiple tours, helped us get all of the details laid out, coordinated our food tasting, and was always prompt with responding to any questions we had. The cabins are AWESOME! It was so nice having everyone in one spot, but we all had our own space too. Satima planned our menu, and truly went above and beyond to make sure the menu was not only perfect, but that I had plenty to eat as well (I am gluten/dairy intolerant). Between Satima and Chef Mike, the food was seriously some of the best food we have ever had! Our wedding coordinator, Jennifer, has got to be one of the best in the business! She has awesome ideas, and helped me so much in taking my ideas and making sure they worked out. She (in addition to everyone at the farm) genuinely cares about making the wedding planning process as stress free as possible and she did more than we ever even expected to make sure our day was perfect. 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. The Farm staff even picked up the biscuits for us and kept them hot in their warming oven. These biscuits were a huge hit! Overall, I cannot thank the Farm enough for making Paige and Kent’s wedding such a carefree, joyous occasion!
