About this vendor
*Saturdays are fully booked for 2022, some Sundays still available*
The White Crow is a wedding destination in Banner Elk, NC. Perched atop a mountainscape of dramatic peaks and deep, secluded valleys, this barn venue welcomes couples from August 2020. Family-run, its owners take a personal approach to their business and work closely with couples to make their wedding vision a glorious reality.
The White Crow sits comfortably upon a mountainous throne 4,200 feet above sea level. An ideal venue for nature-loving couples, its location in the town of Banner Elk is equal parts idyllic and stunning. The Blue Ridge Mountains dominate the surrounding countryside, creating stately silhouettes against the clear blue sky. The farm boasts a landscape of 37 breathtaking acres, and offers many spaces in which couples can exchange vows. It is a backdrop of iconic proportions for a wedding day photoshoot and the party is invited to wander the hills and fields afterward in the peaceful, fresh mountain air. Before the ceremony, to-be-weds can access modern get-ready facilities to put the finishing touches to their wedding day ensembles. These are available for use throughout the big day as a place of quiet and calm away from the festivities. The farm’s barn can welcome a sizable gathering of up to 300 friends and family for a modern rustic themed celebration of love.
The White Crow is a family-run business whose owners go the extra mile when welcoming guests to their property. Wedding events of all kinds can be hosted at the venue including rehearsals, ceremonies, bridal showers, receptions, and more. The management is happy to provide stylish furniture, including handmade cocktail tables and farm tables, to add an air of pastoral chic to events. They also welcome outside vendors of your choosing.

My husband and I cannot recommend The White Crow enough! From our very first interactions with Kelli and Blake, we felt incredibly valued. It was made very clear that owning and op...
erating a wedding venue isn’t just a job for the Crymes; it’s a shared passion. A passion for learning your story, opening their doors to God’s creation and offering breathtaking views, while ensuring you feel supported through every step of your wedding journey. Kelli and Blake helped ease any worries I had and were more than accommodating, allowing us to fully customize every detail of our wedding weekend.
Our wedding was more than I ever imagined and would not have been possible without Kelli and Blake’s kindness and support. They were absolutely incredible to work with!
I recently had my wedding at The White Crow and it was incredible! The owners are extremely friendly and easy going. They quickly responded to our millions of questions and gave ea...
sed our minds for any concerns the day of the wedding. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! The views are beautiful, the grass is expertly maintained, and inside the venue is beautiful as is, but also is a blank slate to create your own vibe. The bathrooms are clean too (very important!) It poured rain right before the intended outdoor ceremony and they quickly moved the arbor inside and rearranged the chairs for an indoor ceremony. 10/10 recommend.
The White Crow is everything! From the second we arrived, I felt like I was in a fairytale. Every detail, every corner, every view is just breathtaking. Kelli and Blake are absolut...
e angels! They think of EVERYTHING and made our day so effortless, smooth, and totally magical. I seriously don’t know how we could have pulled off our dream wedding without them. The vibe, the upgrades, the perfectly maintained spaces… it’s all just unreal. Our wedding felt so intimate and special. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s gorgeous, fun, and totally enchanting, The White Crow is the one and only venue!
This venue is beautiful and the grounds are well kept. The owners are so kind and helpful in making a couple feel special on their wedding day!
Our experience at the White Crow was amazing! Kelli was so responsive and both her and Blake did so much to prepare the venue for our big day and were on site during the event to h...
elp with anything we needed. They take such great care of the venue and their guests!
The White Crow was a DREAM wedding location for us this summer. The location could not be beat, and the 360 views really captured our vision for sharing our favorite mountains with...
our out of state guests. We had folks all night giving us kudo's for the venue, all of the credit goes to the White Crow!
Kelli and family were fantastic with every request and detail. We loved working with their family run business, you can tell the pride they take in everything, and its very evident how much work they put into the land and venue making it look spectacular.
We also rented a tap truck from them to help with our welcome party and to take pressure off of the bar on wedding day. The process went very smoothly, we ordered the keg's and they organized the pickup and set everything up.
We are so happy to have worked with Kelli and Blake for our event. The touring and communication was perfect, with Kelli answering every question we had very promptly. There were e...
ven times I would reach out later in the evening and hear back almost immediately. They were open to new ideas for how to use the space and even coordinated with a Air Haven Transportation for us to get a vintage car parked near the ceremony site. The day-of service was even better with Blake assisting with maintaining a fire in the outdoor space while also securing our decorations against the winds we experienced on our big day. There was an issue with their fridge which was solved in seconds on a phone call, and every need we had was met by their space.
This space was purpose-built for events and it shows in every detail. There was nothing we wanted/needed that this space didn't offer, can't recommend this beautiful venue enough, hope the pics speak for themselves.
The White Crow is truly a dream venue. When I pictured our high country wedding, I knew I needed a space with mountain views, an elegant building, and a space we could customize to...
make our own. The White Crow checked off each of these boxes. Not only this but Kelli and Blake are some of the nicest people we have ever met. They gave us fantastic vendor and wedding planner suggestions and we were able to hire their son to watch our dog for the night of the wedding after he participated in our ceremony and photos! Every single guest complimented us for choosing such a beautiful venue. We even hosted our welcome party and rehearsal dinner onsite because we wanted to be able to spend as much time as possible at the White Crow during our wedding weekend. On our wedding day - the weather was touch and go and Kelli and Blake were so accommodating to have the indoor space set up for the rain plan until the last possible minute. Lucky for us - the sun came out and they flipped the indoor space masterfully during the cocktail hour to be perfectly set up for our dinner and dancing. I truly can't recommend the White Crow enough. We toured dozens of wedding venues in the are and nothing compares to the beauty, the family vibe, and the mountain elegance of the White Crow! This place is a GEM! Also we are SO excited for the Christmas tree farm to open in a few years. It will be so amazing to take the our family up to Banner Elk to get our Christmas tree from the place we got married. Thank you Kelli and Blake!

at suggestions for vendors. The pictures do not do this place justice, either. When you pull up the driveway and actually see how open and beautiful everything is, it takes your breath away. Our wedding was almost three weeks ago and our guests still go on and on about how amazing the venue is!
Where to even begin! The White Crow was quite literally perfection for our wedding. Kelli and her family were the most accommodating and provided so much help throughout the entire...
process. I received SO MANY compliments on the venue and location and just how perfect it was. I can't recommend enough!
Let me save you some time - you have found your venue for your next event! Pictures simply do not do The White Crow justice! It’s impossible to capture the amount of peace you feel...
while being at this venue, surrounded by the mountains. Every single detail was well thought out and simply perfect. Our guests have not stopped talking about the views or this venue since our wedding. Aside from the beautiful views and building, working with Kelli and her family was an unparalleled experience. Literally the sweetest family. Kelli is very easy-going, great at communication and overall a delight to work with. We can’t wait to be back for our next event!
Truly amazing venue! Kelli is a joy and wonderful to work with!
The bride and groom had the best day ever! As did all the guest. So many were simply in awe of the view and the v...

elli made the booking process easy as can be and was so helpful and accommodating with our requests. We included our dogs in our ceremony service and wanted to practice several times of them walking down the aisle by themselves and The Crymes were so accommodating with our random visit requests to the venue. The space is so incredibly beautiful and all our guests were in awe of it all!!
This venue was everything my daughter and her husband hoped for and more. Both the ceremony and reception spaces are beautiful and the views are gorgeous. Kelly and Blake are won...
derful to work with and we have wonderful memories of a special day.

The White Crow was the wedding venue of my dreams. It has 360 degree views of the mountains and every direction is breathtaking. The barn is absolutely stunning with lots o...
f rustic charm and it’s huge so there’s plenty of room for tables and decorations. The ceremony space outside is beautiful with big wood benches for seating and a perfect view of the mountains. The covered patios on either side of the building were perfect for our cocktail hour and for guests to mingle on all night. And the fire pit was a really fun bonus.
Kelli was so great to work with, and that’s an understatement. We live in Arkansas and planning a wedding from so far away had its challenges, but Kelli made it so easy on us. She is so responsive and seemed to always make time for a phone call or FaceTime.
On our wedding day, Kelli and Blake made everything go so smoothly. They allowed us plenty of time in the space and were always there to answer our questions and help when needed.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue space and it was perfect for our wedding day.
Thank you Kelli and Blake!!!
Kelli and Blake are some of the nicest most genuine people you will ever meet. They were so accommodating and easy to work with. We had rain on our wedding day minutes before our g...
uests arrived they were drying the benches so that I could have the outdoor ceremony I dreamed of.
The space is absolutely gorgeous and the views are to die for. All I heard all night from my guests were compliments of how beautiful it was on top of their mountain.
