Couldn't have picked a better venue out of a fairytale!

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!

Beautiful Venue

I can’t even put into words how great Claxton was. I had never been to Asheville before, let alone visit the venue, so to say I was nervous would be an understatement. However, Emily was the most responsive and helpful person I think I’ve ever talked to. I changed my mind 100 times and she was so sweet every time. When I finally got to the venue, I was blown away. The pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. And my bridal attendant Jackie was on top of everything. Fixing my hair and dress for every photo, making sure I had a drink in hand, taking care of everything that I wouldn’t have even thought of. My day was seriously perfect and I would choose Claxton over and over again!!

Would recommend this venue to everybody!!

Claxton farms was nothing short of perfect, from their quick responsiveness, ability to figure anything out for me and just making me feel special in general.
Me and my now husband had a BLAST celebrating our love at their venue. I would 100% recommend them anyone in the area or even out of state like us looking for an outstanding venue.
