Chestnut Ridge could not have been more phenomenal for our wedding venue. The space is absolutely breathtaking from the minute you pull up the morning of. The staff and every vendor made our day the easiest, most seamless, special day we have ever had. This venue is truly a piece of heaven, and we are so grateful for every minute we had working with each and every person here. We love all of them forever!

The Perfect Venue for Our Dream Wedding!!

From the moment we saw Chestnut Ridge online, we knew this was the venue for us, and after touring in person, we had no doubt! Taylor and her team are true professionals, with incredible industry knowledge and planning resources that made the entire process so smooth.

Being a destination wedding, we wanted a venue with beautiful decor to utilize and reliable communication throughout planning… Chestnut Ridge nailed both. The venue itself is stunning and impeccably maintained. So many guests commented that it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever attended!

The Bridal Suite and Groom’s Den are spacious and stunning, with plenty of room to get ready. The mountain view from the Bridal Suite is such a calming way to start the morning!

We loved the ceremony pavilion and having our cocktail hour outside to enjoy the gorgeous Fall weather. And even if the weather hadn’t cooperated, the built-in contingency plans meant no tents were needed. The reception space is immaculate and dreamy. We had 67 guests and worried it might feel too big, but it was absolutely perfect.
We’re so glad we chose Chestnut Ridge, this venue will always hold a very special place in our hearts. 💕

A Beautiful Venue

We have NO REGRETS booking Chestnut Ridge as our wedding venue. My wedding day was the best day of my life and I am so happy it happened at Chestnut Ridge. The venue is stunning and guests absolutely loved it. The locations makes for wonderful photographs. We got married May 10, 2025 and it was the perfect time. The greens were so beautiful and it even rained slightly on our day which was absolutely magical. All of the walking areas are paved so it's very safe for any of your elderly guests.

I also can't say enough about the staff. I mostly communicated with Taylor (the owner) leading up to the wedding. (I wasn't able to use them as my planner since their planner was getting married the same day - but I would have if I could). Taylor was amazing. I don't know how she responds as quickly as she does. Everytime I met her, she was so warm and welcoming.

The day of our wedding, Taylor wasn't there, but every single member of the CR staff was friendly and helpful. We even got compliments on how nice the bartenders were. We really could not say enough great things about this venue. If you can afford it, you really won't be disappointed!

The best venue!

I had the absolute pleasure of getting married at Chestnut Ridge in April 2025, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. From the moment we booked shortly after our engagement in 2023, we received nothing but exceptional support and service from the entire Chestnut Ridge team over the course of two full years of planning.

We were incredibly fortunate to work with Emily P. as our planner—she was instrumental in bringing our dream wedding to life. Her attention to detail, creativity, and unwavering support made the entire planning process seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend utilizing the in-house planning services; they are truly worth it.

The owner, Taylor, was also an absolute joy to work with—professional, kind, and dedicated to making sure our day was perfect in every way. The entire Chestnut Ridge team is outstanding, and it’s clear how much they care about each couple’s experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chestnut Ridge for any wedding or special event. It is a breathtaking venue run by an exceptional team, and I’m so grateful to have celebrated our special day there.

I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

If you are considering Chestnut Ridge for your wedding (or event) - go ahead and request that contract! I worked in the wedding industry for ~15 years in varying capacities and to say that they exceeded my expectations in an understatement! The team that works for CR is amazing and they were incredibly prompt with their responses to my many questions. Not only was the planning process seamless and enjoyable, our guests were also blown away by the property, the views, and the teams response throughout our reception.
I also cannot praise Emily enough - we hired her as our venue coordinator and we ADORED every interaction with her from our site visit to our wedding day. My family who took home all of our personal items after the reception sang the highest praises of Emily and the CR team at how organized and quick they were to help with collecting items post the reception.
I said it in the beginning of the review and will say it again - if you are considering Chestnut Ridge for your event - ASK FOR THE CONTRACT IMMEDIATELY!!!! :)

Stunning, seamless, amazing group of people to work with for such an important day

This venue was EVERYTHING. Besides the stunning views, long farmhouse tables, the fireplace and everything little detail they put for this venue- what truly makes it the best is their team. I had the wedding planner + venue package + opted for the decor closet first we had a different planner but she ended up leaving and there was NO worry at all once we got assigned with Whitney. She was freaking awesome: always willing to answer all my random questions and truly made it a worry free day. Besides just Whitney, there was also the Bar Manager and she was also lovely to work with & always super helpful. Lastly, with this venue they have worked with so many vendors that it was nice that my caterer, DJ, Metro Wines and florist have all worked with Chestnut Ridge’s team that everything was seamless. All my guest had nothing but praises about this venue. Thank you guys so much!

Perfect Venue

Our daughter wanted a NC mountain wedding, but not a rustic wedding. Chestnut Ridge was perfect. The setting, nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains, is stunning, and the buildings (ceremony pavilion and reception hall) are beautiful and well-planned. Owner, Taylor, and our planner, Emily, were kind, patient, and professional as we planned from a far. (the bride lives in TX and we, bride’s parents, live in Utah) Our daughter’s wedding at Chestnut Ridge was exactly what she had dreamed of. HIGHLY recommend.

Wedding Venue

We are so happy we had our wedding at Chestnut Ridge. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff did an amazing job setting up for our wedding day bringing our vision to life- they have a great staff that makes this happen and it is well worth every penny. We wanted a venue that was in the mountains with a special ceremony spot that could be closed off in the event of rain. Chestnut Ridge was the perfect venue for what we were looking for and even includes spaces for the girls and guys to get ready with so many great picture spot options. We highly recommend this venue and their full team!

Beauty Wedding Venue

We had a small wedding of 35 people here, and it was simply MAGIC! Everything from start to finish went so unbelievable smooth, Taylor and her girls are truly masters of their craft! The ladies were quick to respond, transparent, and professional! I have actually worked in the bridal industry for 15+ myself from the beauty side, all over the US, and let me tell you, book Chestnut Ridge! Every single thing these ladies did for me went so very smoothly, and the wedding itself was just perfect! Kayla was my planner and she just will forever have a special place in my heart! Thank you Taylor for giving Bryan & I such beautiful place to start our new life together!

The best of the best

My husband and I were married at CR in November 2022. We started out doing the venue and planner option, but switched to the all inclusive shortly thereafter, and i'm so happy we did. This is, hands down, the BEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL wedding venue in North Carolina! All my guests are still raving, over a month later, about how amazing and beautiful everything was. And i'm not exaggerating when I say that this was the best night of my husband's and my life! Everything was taken care of for us, by the amazing staff (and specifically Kayla, the best wedding planner ever)!! When you're planning a wedding, everyone prepares you for little mishaps and bumps in the road that are inevitably going to happen. I mean it when I say that we had absolutely ZERO hiccups (or if we had them, I was never made aware of any - that's how good CR staff is). Please have your wedding here. You won't regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
