Twickenham House

l and thoughtfully designed spaces to choose from for both the ceremony and reception, allowing each couple to truly make the day their own unique experience. What truly sets Twickenham apart is the incredible staff. They were attentive, kind, and paid exceptional attention to every detail. They brought my daughter’s vision to life perfectly—from the decorations to the smallest thoughtful touches—making the day even more special than we imagined. One especially meaningful feature is that guests and family can stay on site, which created a wonderful sense of community and made the entire celebration feel relaxed and intimate. Twickenham is more than just a venue; it’s an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful for the memories made there.

p of the mountain to ourselves for a weekend of celebration.

liffside views that made for the most incredible backdrop to the ceremony. Every detail of the day was flawless, and it’s easy to see why this venue is a favorite for so many couples. The crown jewel of the venue is the wedding planner Leigh. She is everything you could want in someone helping you navigate such an important day. Her support, organization, and attention to detail were remarkable. From start to finish, she ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing the couple to relax and enjoy their big day. It’s rare to find someone who cares so deeply about making sure every moment is perfect, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re considering this venue, know that you’re not just getting a beautiful space—you’re getting a dream team behind it.

a type A person, but I relinquished all control over to Leigh for our big day and it was truly the wedding of our dreams! Leigh kept us organized and on track for the 12 months leading up to our wedding with monthly or biweekly calls as needed, and was quick to respond anytime we had questions that couldn't wait on until our next meeting. I felt so confident going into our wedding day that everything was going to be more than perfect, thanks to Leigh and the team at Twickenham. I would recommend her and the Twickenham Venue to anyone that is planning a wedding! Thank you for being amazing, Leigh!!!

zing throughout the whole planning and coordinating experience and never failed to be supportive and made the process even more fun than could be imagined. Thank you Leigh and everyone at gorgeous Twickenham for making our special day so amazing.

lass experience. Leigh was an absolute rock star, helping my wife and I through every step of the wedding planning process. The venue is even more beautiful than you could imagine, and the 3 night stay was incredibly comfortable and memorable for all of our guests. There was no pressure to use preferred vendors (other than catering but this is clearly disclosed up front), however, they were happy to provide recommendations, all of which turned out to be phenomenal. Their partner restaurant delivered a delicious meal, and were very attentive to all of our guests at the bar. Leigh and her team ensured that the entire weekend was as perfect and stress free as we could have possibly hoped for. We truly could not be happier with our choice and would recommend this venue and team to anyone.

every detail and was so fun to work with. The wedding was so much fun and the photographs were incredible. I highly recommend this gorgeous venue and everyone connected with it!

elpful. Even with a deployment in the middle of wedding planning, she was able to give us the wedding of our dreams. You can tell she genuinely loves her job and cares about the couple getting married.

ust talking to her on the phone made us feel better about the planning process. Staying at the Twickenham house over the weekend with our friends and family was an incredible experience- the Twickenham staff was incredibly kind and the vendors that Leigh recommended (including Morchella for catering!) were awesome. We would highly recommend having your weekend here and if you can swing it stay at the house. It is so gorgeous, especially in the fall, and will make your wedding weekend all the more magical.

t gorgeous and such an intimate place to share your day with friends and family. Bethany was my planner and coordinator and was absolutely wonderful and a pleasure to work with. She took care of all of the details and just made everything so easy! I couldn’t have done it without her! She even drove me up to the cliffs when it was time! She went above and beyond in my opinion to ensure our day was perfect. I can’t say enough good things about it so I’ll just say if you’re looking for a place with a phenomenal view, a great space for your guests, and superior service, you should definitely consider Twickenham and request Bethany for assistance. I promise you won’t regret it! My only regret is I just wish it had been in slow motion so I could savor it all longer. Thank you so much Twickenham and Bethany for making our day so very beautiful and special!

d beyond with every last detail. She is basically a calligrapher and knows her way around florals as well. She was somehow everywhere the day of the wedding and ready to assist and make sure everything was going smoothly and on time. We cannot recommend her and her services more. Any questions, detail, concern, she had a solution and answer. She made it seem as if we were her only couple she was working with and that our day was the most important to her. We went into wedding planning thinking that we did not need a planner and because it was required at Twickenham we agreed but really I don't know how we would have done it without her now! My first advice to everyone getting married now to get an amazing wedding planner. She was the planner of our dreams and we just did now know how perfect she could make our day. She is also just the sweetest person in the world professionally and personally. Thanks, Leigh!!!

hrough the whole wedding process, she is was always quick to respond to questions or last minute changes that my husband and I wanted for our big day. She made the whole wedding planning process way less stressful and actually enjoyable. If you are looking for a wedding the in the mountains, I highly highly suggest the Twickenham house because you, your spouse and your attending guests will not be disappointed.

so special. She was organized and really valued the vision I had for the day. This venue is stunning and one of a kind. 10/10 experience!

ly sweet and thoughtful! She was always one step ahead on questions and answered emails and texts promptly. She made our whole wedding weekend one that we will never forget!! Everyone kept saying I was so calm leading up to the ceremony and it really was all because of her. I knew that she had everything under control and trusted her vision and instincts. My entire family LOVED her! I could not recommend her or twickenham enough, all of my guests said what a beautiful wedding and venue it was, especially since we all traveled all the way from Florida! If you’re looking for a weekend with your loved ones before your big day, joining the families together and getting to know each and everyone then this is the venue for you!

add a calming influence and you are a gift for a Mother.

ould have dreamed of having in a wedding planner. I wanted a beautiful wedding but wanted to do none of the planning leading up to it. Most people would say that's impossible. But believe me when I say Leigh made it happen. I asked for vendors, she provided a list, I picked her number one choice for each and never looked back. HOLY SMOKES did they provide everything than we ever could have dreamed of and more! Leigh asked what our vision of the ceremony and reception looked like, we laughingly told her we wanted it to look pretty but had nothing else to add. I honestly apologized so many times for making so few decisions... Leigh, in her perfect candid self THANKED ME (!!!!!!!) because she got to do what she loved most just putting things together how she felt they looked best. And THE. WHOLE. WEEKEND. WAS. PERFECT. Almost every single guest commented that it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to. A girl can't make that stuff up. Thanks for making it look like I put together a beautiful wedding, Leigh :) Wish I could take credit for it... I'll take like 1% of it. Leigh deserves the remaining 99% of the credit. I cannot imagine having gone through the wedding planning process without Leigh. Nothing fell through the cracks. Like absolutely nothing. People told me throughout the planning to just understand and accept that things will go wrong on wedding day, that things would happen not according to plan. I mean I don't know if people just didn't tell me when things went wrong or what, but I don't think it could have been more perfect.. have I said that enough? My husband and I have jokingly said that we are renewing our vows every single year at Twickenham so we can relive our wedding weekend over and over. But if I'm honest I'm being completely serious when I say that's what I want to do. The only hesitation would be I don't think it's possible to recreate that weekend in the exact manner because it was too perfect. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. That's the only way to describe the weekend. I can't say it enough. Thank you, Leigh. You were (AND ARE!) and absolute God-send. We are eternally grateful for you.

hour on the phone with me and my now husband answering a long list of questions and concerns, she was very thorough and took her time. During the planning process, Leigh always responded to me very quickly and with such a great attitude, she brought so much joy to the planning process. Finally came wedding weekend, and it went without a single bump. The house and grounds are beautiful, the cliffs are incredible, and the hall was amazing as well! Not only beautiful, but had everything we needed. Both of our families were able to stay at the house and celebrate together throughout the weekend, making it so special. Leigh made it all come together and so beautifully! I can't say enough good things about Twickenham and Leigh (wedding planner). This is certainly a hidden gem and I can't recommend it enough!

r wedding weekend feel cozy. We were able to spend Thursday-Sundays with our friends and family and was perfect. We don’t regret the venue at all. Leigh, our wedding planner, is a different story. She helped book vendors, kept track of details, set up and packed up reception and ceremony sites, ran things on the wedding day. To me, though, these are the most basic duties a wedding planner should help with. Her personality was great but when it came to actually planning and guiding us through a process we knew little about, she failed. I felt the need to read countless articles on planning. I’m not a wedding planner and I wanted to rely on a professional. She also never reached out on her own. I always had to email her to get started on new items. Because of this, there were times when we missed out on a vendor (for example, most of the bakers were booked by the time I mentioned it). I purposely did not contact her for about 3 months to see if she would take initiative and email me. Nope. I finally had to email her again because planning could not be delayed any longer. As we were driving to the venue from out of state there was an issue with the caterer. Leigh emailed us the final details list from them but failed to mention there was a change of menu and increased price. The ONLY reason I found out was because I read the full forwarded email chain. I emailed Leigh immediately and brought up the changes and she offered to email the caterer about it. I was like, “Um, yes. I do in fact want you to make sure we get what we paid for and originally agreed upon.” I ended up having to email the caterer, with Leigh cc’d, because she was willing to let the issue go. I had also bought cheese and crackers from the local cheese shop for our cocktail hour, the cheese coming in blocks. When I delivered this to Leigh, the NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING, she looked at me and said, “Oh, you can go ahead and cut it then bring it back to me.” To me, this was what we were paying for. We ended up leaving the cheese in blocks and guests had to cut it themselves at cocktail hour. The day of the wedding, I saw very little of Leigh. I know she was setting up the ceremony site, and perhaps reception hall still, so I guess that took all her time. We had also paid to rent their heaters for the ceremony and cocktail hour sites but they we inefficient. At the cocktail hour site, there were patches of frozen ice that a couple guests slipped on. When my maid of honor let Leigh know, she said, “We know, just don’t walk in that area.” Even my dad, who is typically oblivious to the finer details (said with love), mentioned her incompetency. We were also very excited about the champagne tower; when it came time to do that and cut the cake, Leigh did not have an announcement made and no one even noticed we did it. A waste of money, which is a shame because it looked so fun! Overall, she did not take initiative and guide us through the process. We missed deadlines and quality vendors because I had to bring topics up with her, which I only knew to mention because of my very limited time reading brides.com articles. I felt as though she was more of a coordinator than a planner, but was definitely paid to be the latter. The venue was superb but I’d request a different planner.

er, from the morning of the wedding to the ceremony, from the cocktail hour to the dinner, toasts, and dancing, Leigh and her team consistently went the extra mile to ensure everything ran smoothly and fit our vision for our wedding. Anything and everything that did not go totally according to plan was dealt with deftly, calmly, and discreetly by Leigh and her team without causing so much as a ruffle in any festivities. Leigh was also highly communicative throughout the wedding planning process. She scheduled regular phone calls with us, and we texted and emailed back and forth whenever needed between calls. Her communications were always detailed and well organized (the planners and itineraries she used are practically works of art), her demeanor upbeat and supportive. She was excellent at ensuring that we were involved in the planning process as much or as little as we wanted to be (e.g., with reaching out to or updating our vendors, with planning out how the houses and hall would be decorated, etc.). We loved having our wedding at Twickenham House: the venue is beautiful and unique, and it was awesome to have most of our guests staying with us on site. There are also many wedding vendors in the area to pick from, fitting a variety of style preferences and budgets. All of that being said, Leigh was instrumental in making our dreams for our wedding a reality. We have her—and her team—to thank for putting all the pieces together for us and making our wedding absolutely fantastic. We cannot recommend her enough to other couples looking to get married. We love you, Leigh!

lpful but we could also chose any of our own. Besides being an absolutely beautiful venue, the best part is you get to spend the WHOLE weekend celebrating your wedding with 50 close friends and family. The memories made are worth every dime. Leigh met us there the day we checked in, had names on the doors of all the rooms of where everyone was sleeping, and answered any questions we had. So great! You are required to use their catering service when booking your wedding but we really enjoyed the food! We had a few issues with getting our menu finalized with the chef but ultimately got it all worked out and the food was delicious. Our guests raved about it! Our wedding day was flawless. Leigh handled everything and the staff did an amazing job getting everything set up for us so me, my husband, family, and wedding party didn't have to worry about a thing. Overall, great experience!!

t above and beyond. We had a great experience planning our wedding too, especially with the help of Leigh. She is a SUCH a light and made us feel at ease about everything during the whole process! Planning a wedding can be very overwhelming, but I knew we were in good hands. She’s knowledgeable & did an amazing job helping tailor our vision. Thank you, Leigh & thank you, Twickenham!! 💗

aking and the accommodations are 5-Star. Secondly, Leigh Harrow! I could not ask for any better wedding planner! I mean literally, one does not exist. From day one she has been two steps ahead of us, she knew exactly what we wanted to make our day phenomenal! She had recommendations that we would have never thought of. Her recommendations for chef, musicians, flower artists, makeup artist, photographer and videographer were top notch! She from day one was not only our wedding planner but our friend as well. If we forgot something, she was quick to get it for us without a second thought. I just can't imagine having anyone else help us plan our wedding! She is the only one you want planning your event!!! The chef, John Walsh is on par with any Michelin Star Chef out there. Everything from the Hors d'oeuvres to the main course, to the desert was as good as you will find in any Michelin Star rated restaurant out there. Our guests had high praises for the chef and how amazing every aspect of the culinary part of our wedding was. The rehearsal dinner was no different! It was some of the best food we could have hoped for and more. I would hire him for any event you may have! Twickenham House is the place to go for your wedding or event. I could not imagine having it anywhere else! It would not have been the same!

he is truly made for the job, and has many successful events ahead of her. We cannot be more grateful! Beautiful location with room onsite for all of our guests. Highly recommended!

could not have gotten through the day without her! Everything was PERFECT and I can honestly say I had my absolute dream wedding day!

e location and it was perfect! The day of coordinator, Leigh Harrow, went above and beyond for us as far as making sure things were handled and allowing everyone to enjoy themselves. We had many out of town guests that had not seen each other in awhile and it was amazing to be able to all get together for the weekend. I highly recommend this venue, the staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a perfect weekend! Thank you Twickenham!

o spend 2 days with about had our our guests, freeing up our reception to spend with the other half. Bethany was ABSOLUTELY amazing to work with and I honestly don’t think I could have done it with out her. From answering all of my questions for a year to finding perfect vendors that understood my wishes to completely owning the wedding day and making sure I knew of ZERO problems that arouse. I can not recommend Bethany or Twickenham enough!

all. With the well thought out planning by the mother of the bride and the awesome wedding planner we used, Bethany Grube, the weekend was an experience our son and daughter-in-law will hopefully never forget. Thank you Bethany for nailing each event, from the setting up of the rehearsal dinner to the sparkler send off after the wedding reception for the bride & groom....you were spot on with it all! If I could change anything about the event, unfortunately we had to be out by 10 am the very next day after the wedding. That is very very difficult to do. My recommendation would be a 12 pm check out due to the late night of the wedding and all the "stuff" you have to pack up the next day. Really isn't fair to the bride and groom as well as the parents having to pack everything up. That is my only complaint. Otherwise, breathtaking views and a fairytale wedding!

and despite them having open availability for weekend events in 2021, they were forcing us into a M-Th wedding date. Their office was often unresponsive or very late to our questions and requests via email and phone call. Ultimately, planning a wedding with this venue was extremely stressful and expenses were often unclear. There are equally gorgeous mountain view properties in NC that will be more inclusive, responsive, and cost-efficient. Trust me, we booked with another one after being treated so rudely by the owner of Twickenham. Should you decide to go with this venue, read the contract carefully and note the "bridezilla clause" aka their excuse when they don't want to deal with the client anymore.

ceremony and reception as well. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting - the house, the cliffs, the reception hall - it was all incredible. We worked with Bethany as our event coordinator and she was wonderful to work with - very organized and helped us every step along the way. I felt confident on our wedding day that she'd be there for anything we needed.

ot have been possible without our wedding planner, Bethany! She was there from day one to help us plan every detail and she is the best of the best! We could not have done it without her!!!

siastic with all my idea suggestions (even when I changed my mind on details multiple times!). We decided to have a laid-back wedding vibe, serving BBQ including a rustic lemonade stand, but Twickenham could easily be made into a much more formal event. Leading up to the big day, we had a few hiccups unrelated to the Twickenham (groom/groomsmen suit issues, etc.) and Bethany was problem solving until the very end with things that were not her responsibility which was SO appreciated. Once the ceremony began, the wedding was perfect. The Twickenham team truly goes above and beyond for their couples, and I could not recommend them more. I still have guests contacting me with how beautiful the weekend was!

we had a lot!) The Twickenham house was perfect and our guests loved the accommodations. The reception hall was beautiful and 5-stars to Chef John - our guests are still talking about how the food was amazing!!

inator or wedding venue. Twickenham House and Hall is absolutely gorgeous. My family and friends had such a fun time stay in the houses a couple nights before the wedding. The view of the mountains at the ceremony site is absolutely incredible. The barn was also perfect for our rustic theme and the fireplace was a bonus. We truly had the most perfect wedding. Thank you Leigh for everything!

The reception hall is simply breathtaking, and the Twickenham house itself made for the best time ever with all of our friends. Having a wedding during COVID is stressful enough, yet the owner Jocelyn and her wedding coordinator Bethany made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. We could not have asked for a better coordinator than Bethany! She answered all of our questions and made sure our wedding day was truly a dream come true! Everything turned out even more amazing than we could have ever hoped for. When you see this place in person you will know there is nothing else that could compare. Then when it's all done up the way you dreamed it to be on your big day, it will be something you will never forget! Thank you Jocelyn, Bethany and Twickenham for the best day of our lives!

en I stumbled upon Twickenham’s website it honestly seemed too good to be true. I scheduled a visit and knew it was the perfect place to host our wedding. One of the best parts of this venue is being able to stay with family during wedding weekend. Bethany was my planner / therapist (planning a wedding during Covid isn’t for the faint of heart). She constantly took my questions and reassured me it would work out and that she would take care of it and she did. I didn’t have a worry in the world that day and everything turned out just as I wanted it! Truly the best day of my life in the most magical setting. I had several guests tell me it was the coolest wedding they had ever been too. We are so glad we chose Twickenham and would recommend it to anyone!

legant. The views from the cliffs are phenomenal and the reception hall really doesn't need much decorating at all. The house is super secluded (literally on top of a mountain) and it was so much fun having 25 of our closest family and friends stay together for a few days instead of trying to rush around to spend time with everyone during the reception. Leigh Harrow was my coordinator and she is amazing- from immediately answering any and every question I had leading up/while we were there to creating a perfect day-of timeline to making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be to decorating the reception hall, etc. She made my life completely stress-free the day of and I am so thankful for that. I will say, the first touring appointment with Julia was not great. Our tour was with an intern who was unable to answer many of my questions. We then got to sit down with Julia for less than ten minutes- it felt super rushed and most questions she answered with, "It's on the website." Not a great first impression, but I already had my heart set on Twickenham before I even got there. Thankfully, everyone else was really nice and helpful! I took away one star for that initial encounter and just for how expensive everything is. Even after the event fee and house rental, you have to pay to rent pretty much every little thing- lawn games (even though they are just sitting in the garage), candle votives/little decorations they have on site, signs, plates/cups, heaters, use of fireplaces, wooden cross, etc. However, when over half of our guests bailed at the last minute due to covid, the owner of the house was gracious enough to give us a small discount to help cover some of the costs we got stuck with which was very much appreciated. If I had to do it all again, I would 100% choose Twickenham over and over again. It is such a unique and beautiful venue. And a big thank you to Leigh for everything you did for us!! :)

we did decide on a different venue based on a couple of factors personal to us and our family/friends. The view of the mountains and the stone detail for the ceremony made that a very difficult decision! The grounds have a large brick house and a smaller house for guests to stay on the property. They are decorated by the owner who has an eye for gorgeous English antique pieces that are really unique and would be great photo moments for you and your guests. Some of the rooms have many beds for family or bridal party who all know each other well and some rooms are more private for couples, parents, etc. The drive up to the house seems a bit long on paper but when I tell you it is BEAUTIFUL. I mean, the drive alone is a whole experience. I think this is a great wedding destination for a warm and inviting wedding where you get to have your family and friends around you the whole time and have your ceremony, reception, and rehearsal dinners all within walking distance.

her a lot of creative freedom for decorating the reception hall for our big day and she did an amazing job and took my breath away. Not to mention she and all her staff were super accommodating and friendly. The grounds are beautiful, the staff helpful and kind... I highly recommend tying the knot on top of this beautiful mountain!
