My husband and I were married at Claxton in July 2021, and the experience was beyond amazing. Claxton’s whole team worked closely with us and our planner right up to the day of the event making sure everything was perfect. Emily made the planning process easy and enjoyable. She was responsive and flexible, and went out of her way to accommodate any and all requests. The staff onsite the day of was anticipatory and responsive (shoutout to Jackie on being there throughout the night to make sure we ate and always had full drinks)!  The food is catered through the company that owns the venue, M7 Events, and it was excellent! We went with a BBQ theme for dinner with the smoked chicken and chopped beef brisket with corn pudding and green beans and it was SO good! For apps we did the bacon wrapped shrimp (DELISH), caprese bites and fried tomato biscuits - our guests are still commenting on how delicious it all was. Finally, the venue was beautiful with its lush green grass, gorgeous willow tree and stunning mountainous backdrop. Chocolate Chip (the llama) and the other animals on the farm were an absolute hit with guests too! The fire pit and smores situation was an amazing add-on to desserts along with our wedding cake! It was absolutely beyond anything we had envisioned and we cannot recommend Claxton Farm enough!

We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at Claxton Farm in May 2026! We are from out of town and came down in June 2025 to explore venues; Claxton was the first of five venues we visited and we immediately fell in love. The view as you turn the corner from the barn to the wide open field on a sunny day is breathtaking -- we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else.

Molly and Emily were our venue coordinators through the year-long planning process and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. They suggested vendors for us and gave recommendations on rentals, food, dress steamers, etc. We came down in December 2025 for our tasting and rentals selections and they helped us craft a menu that accommodated our guests' dietary restrictions. They also did a lovely job guiding us on the rental items / smaller pieces where we didn't have opinions but still wanted to look nice. They were quick to answer all questions and were a huge asset to the planning process. We could not have done it without them! It was a huge relief to have M7 centrally helping with catering, rentals, staff, and entertainment -- it really took the stress off planning an out of town wedding.

Our day-of wedding coordinators Leslie and Allie Marie were incredible. They organized a great rehearsal the day before and were on top of everything the day of -- they helped set up before the ceremony, made sure we were fed, and kept us hydrated all evening. They were truly a delight and made sure we didn't have to worry about anything.

Finally, I cannot stress enough the beauty of the venue itself. We looked at many venues before deciding on Claxton, and Claxton was the only venue that had close proximity to Asheville with mountain views. Even though you are only a 15-minute drive from downtown Asheville, the venue is nestled in the mountains and gives you a full 360-degree view of nature (this was important to us and why we chose Asheville in the first place!). The sunset on the hills overlooking the field was incredible and we kept saying how we never wanted to leave even when the day was ending.

Some general things we discovered along the way that could help helpful to future brides:
- There is an area for brides to get ready on the property; I was able to drop off my dress during our rehearsal the day before so I didn't need to worry about the dress getting wrinkled -- took it straight from the steamers to the venue and it worked out perfectly! The bridal area is air-conditioned. We also dropped off most of our things the day before which again really helped keep the day itself calm and centered
- M7 had great vendor recommendations across the area -- they booked our DJ and bluegrass band for entertainment and it was so nice being able to trust their opinion / have one less decision to make
- Lots of delighters for the guests -- the venue has an old tractor that was very popular for guest photos and we even did a s'mores bonfire
- We had a larger guest list (150) and had a tent for the dinner portion of the day; I ended up really appreciating the tent as it added a touch of modernity and elegance to the pastoral space
- We made a last-minute call two days before to order parasols for the ceremony as it was going to be a hot day, and our guests really appreciated it
- We did sunset photos in a little wheat field behind the venue and it ended up being some of my favorite photos from the day!

The combination of the amazing staff at M7 and the mountain / nature views made Claxton the perfect place for our perfect day. We wish we could come back again and get married all over again!

Our wedding day at Claxton Farm was everything we dreamed of and more. I had it on my radar since before getting engaged as it was recommended to me, and it ended up being the only venue we toured — that’s how sure we were! The moment we stepped onto the property, we felt an overwhelming sense of peace and just knew it was where we were meant to say “I do.”

The setting instantly captured our hearts. Surrounded by mountains and nature, Claxton Farm is truly the idyllic Asheville venue. From ducks gliding on the pond, to sweeping willow trees, to goats who completely stole the show! We feel so incredibly lucky to have been married here.

Claxton Farm delivered not just a stunning setting, but a full experience that felt effortless, joyful, and completely us.

Emily and Molly made the planning process seamless with their professional and thorough communication. They helped keep me calm throughout all of the decisions and planning, always reassuring me that it was all going to work out. On the day itself, our coordinator Jackie ran everything like an absolute boss — calm, efficient, and on top of every detail. From a drink in our hands to food on our plates (and making sure our vendors were fed!), we didn’t have to worry about a thing. That allowed us to be fully present and soak in every moment.

We chose a variety of passed hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour and barbecue for dinner and all of it was incredible! Our guests are still raving about it and I'm still thinking about the mac and cheese!

Claxton Farm exceeded every expectation and we'll cherish our wedding day for the rest of our lives.

Without a doubt, we'd choose Claxton Farm a thousand times over!

We knew this was the venue of our dreams without even touring the facility! We could not have asked for more beautiful scenery or a more professional and accommodating staff. Miss Jackie literally made our wedding day a seamless, stress free experience. We would chose Claxton over and over again!

Having our wedding at Claxton Farms was perfect and beautiful! Everything from the planning and organizing, to the actual day of our ceremony and reception there was perfect and so easy going. Emily, the sales representative, was AMAZING! She was great about quickly communicating and answering every question that we had during the planning process. She was very helpful and very sweet. She really made the planning and timeline easily understandable and clear. I cannot thank her enough for her awesome communication and transparency.

Once it came down to our wedding weekend, I do not have one bad thing to say. We did our rehearsal at Claxton Farms the night before and it went great! Jackie was assigned to us as our bridal attendant and we cannot say enough good things about her. Claxton really is doing it right with assigning bridal attendants the day of the wedding to help out with everything. At first I wasn’t sure what her role was, but I soon found out that her role was to make us feel comfortable and make everything transition with ease. She helped get our guests where they needed to be, from getting them to their seats for the ceremony to taking pictures to the reception to the first dance, cake cutting and so on. She helped get our family and friends out for pictures after the ceremony and always made sure we had a drink or appetizer or whatever we needed as we made our rounds to get pictures and talk with everyone. She was SOO AMAZING and so sweet! Our wedding would not have been so perfect without her! And I can’t forget to mention how GORGEOUS the venue was! It was everything I dreamed about and more! Being surrounded by the blue ridge mountains and their farm land provided endless breath-taking views. Our family and friends can not stop talking about the venue and how perfect and beautiful everything was. It was hands down, the best decision having our wedding at Claxton Farms. Thank you, Claxton and all your wonderful staff! :-)

Our daughter's wedding at Claxton Farm was absolutely gorgeous. The scenery, the barn, everything together made for a fairytale setting for a perfect evening. We loved working with Emily on planning the event, and the team did a fantastic job.

Gorgeous venue and wonderful staff we are so thankful for them they made our day stress free and so special and fun! Everything was perfect 👍🏼 I’m so happy I was able to have my wedding here so all my family could experience Weaverville my new home with my love

My husband and I fell in love with Claxton the moment we first saw it and knew that we found the spot we wanted to get married. We were planning our day ourselves and Emily, Kayleigh, and all the Claxton staff was amazing. Emily was super responsive and answered any questions we had (and we had a lot!). The process of making decision was easy and streamlined and we loved that Claxton could help us streamline the planning. They require the use of in-house catering, which can be a turn off for some while looking at venues, but the food was amazing. Our guests raved about our cocktail hour charcuterie table and all of the buffet options. As outdoorsy people, we loved that we could have both a beautiful indoor space for our reception, and also the spectacular outdoor area for our ceremony. It was a cool October evening, so the fire and s'mores for our guests were a big hit. Claxton could not have made the planning process any easier and the staff on the day of was spectacular - they took care of everything and then some. We would hands-down, and without hesitation recommend Claxton Farm to anyone! In fact, one of my co-workers son's went to visit after hearing how much we loved it and are now planning a wedding there for next Spring!

We had the most AMAZING experience planning and executing our wedding at Claxton Farm. Emily & Kayleigh were so helpful, responsive, and accommodating. They helped to make the months leading up and the day of stress free. We would do it all over again if we could!

The team at Claxton made our wedding day truly magical. They were communicative and helpful in bringing our vision to life. Emily Lane made sure every detail was covered in the planning process and our Bridal Attendant Jackie was the best to make sure the day-of went smoothly! We highly recommend Claxton Farm for your wedding or event. The location is breathtaking and the staff is extremely professional, kind, thoughtful and attentive. Thank you Claxton Farm for all of your hard work!
