A beautiful experience

Laurel Falls was the perfect spot for our wedding. We were married at Laurel Falls in early September 2025, and it was absolutely perfect. The mountain views were breathtaking, and the property itself is stunning, every single detail was thoughtfully considered. Being able to spend the entire weekend onsite with our loved ones made it feel so special and intimate and enough time to really catch up with people. The staff’s attention to detail and care were exceptional. Kristen, the Events Director, was amazing to work with throughout the planning process, always kind, patient, and quick to respond. The staff was wonderful for every event that wedding and the wedding day, helping ensure our guests felt welcomed. We were in good hands at every step along the way!

Laurel Falls truly was a dream.

Dream Wedding Venue

Our wedding at Laurel Falls was a dream come true. Multiple times through out the weekend- my husband and I looked at each other wondering if it was real life. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. The amount of times our guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had been to was overwhelming. The owner toured me himself and was so kind! Kristen is also INCREDIBLE and responsive. They are a dream team. This venue is so special and we are so grateful it is a part of our story. The fact you can stay onsite Thursday- Sunday is a gamechanger. It was so nice to to show up and just hang with friends all weekend. The guests also loved that all the events were in one location- less stress and hassle!

Views and comfort!

The property is gorgeous and feels like home. But working with the staff went beyond my expectations. It is so great to be able to have some of the family on the property and the included chairs and tables as well as add ons make things so smooth.

Beautiful venue in the mountains where you can stay the whole weekend with your loved ones!

We got married at Laurel Falls this past summer, and if we could give them a million stars we would! This was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding in the mountains. We fell in love with Laurel Falls from the first time we toured the property. What really stood out to us was the abundance of accommodations onsite and the fact that we had the venue to ourselves for the whole weekend. It made our wedding so much more special since we got to spend all weekend surrounded by our loved ones in the private, peaceful cabins.

Another thing that stood out to us was how helpful the Laurel Falls team was, both leading up to the wedding and during the wedding weekend. They have a great inventory of tables, chairs, and other items which made planning super easy for us. They took care of setting up all of the tables and chairs for us on our wedding day, so we were truly able to just enjoy the day without worrying about setup or cleanup.

The last thing that made Laurel Falls the perfect venue for us was that they allow the flexibility to pick your own vendors. We had family and friends helping out with music and florals, so it was so nice to feel like we could truly customize everything about our wedding and didn’t have to stick to a short list of approved vendors.

The property is absolutely stunning, the staff are incredibly kind and helpful, and the venue was private and comfortable for all of our guests. We HIGHLY recommend Laurel Falls to any couples looking for a beautiful mountain wedding in the Asheville area!

August 2026

What a beautiful property and amazing team! From start to finish, our experience with Laurel Falls was unreal. My husband and I found Laurel Falls after our first choice venue fell through and it was honestly such a blessing in disguise. The property’s history offers so much more than just a venue. There was nothing sweeter than saying “I do” and sharing those moments with family on a property that once was the childhood home to the owner. The cabins were all so cozy - a hot tub after your reception is unmatched. Only 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, we felt comfortable asking guests to travel from all over the country to celebrate our big day, knowing there would be plenty to explore and experience. Our biggest regret about the venue is that we didn’t stay longer. The barn has an amazing sound system for hosting and if you’re a DIY bride like I was, you can try your hand at handling your own music (I gave in last moment, but totally could have pulled it off). Having the flexibility to bring outside vendors was a must. Kristen and her team helped coordinate details of catering team set up and parking and the little missed thoughts and it truly ensured everything ran as smoothly as possible. The team sets up and helps tear down your different event spaces across the property and it is truly a life saver and such a relief to not have to worry about. A major lifesaver was having tables, chairs, a tent and other things offered as a baseline inclusion or “upgrade” with the venue. Planning all of the details can get overwhelming and not having to worry about searching for these things (or the quality) was a relief. The area for the reception is gorgeous!!!! Edison lights, a beautiful patio and so much space!

Aside from staying longer, the only major thing I would change is finding a golf cart to rent for the property. It was a last minute expense that I didn’t want to budge on, but it would have absolutely been worth every penny. The property is beautiful but logistically, you need the help transporting people and things across the venue.

Cannot express how happy we were with the space, team and vibe of the property and cabins. 10/10, if I could do it all over again I absolutely would. Hopefully for a future anniversary we will find ourselves on the property again with family and friends celebrating it up! Thank you again Kristen and Jordan for all of your help and welcoming vibes!

Love you always, Laurel Falls!

A dream venue!

Getting married at Laurel Falls was the best decision we could have made. From the moment we  toured the venue with Jordan, who grew up on the property, we got a sense of the property's history and the level of care put into every choice at Laurel Falls. It's clear that they've intentionally curated an amazing space in the mountains to bring people together to celebrate.

The venue is unbelievably beautiful with lots of space for guests to roam and separate areas for each part of the day-- it feels like you're in your own little world in the mountains. There are lots of details that you don't have to think about from the lighting to the sound system to the beautiful chairs to the clear umbrellas that came in handy when we got a bit of wedding day rain. For anything else we needed working with Kristen was great-- she was on top of everything from the moment we reached out and helped us figure out any question big or small. On the day of the wedding the Laurel Falls team set everything up seamlessly but otherwise we had the venue to ourselves all weekend.

The best part of the venue for us was the on-site cabins. Having our wedding party at the venue all weekend created such an intimate atmosphere from the get-go and Laurel Falls was accommodating when we asked to reserve the property Friday-Monday rather than the typical Thursday-Sunday. We got to kick things off with a welcome rehearsal dinner and end the weekend with a day of lounging around playing games on the lawn with our friends and family-- all without making our guests travel from place to place. We're still getting compliments on the venue two months later and couldn't be happier with our decision.

Laurel Fall May 2026

Laurel falls is such a special and magical place and I couldn’t recommend it more. My husband and I toured a dozen venues in the Asheville area before picking the one we couldn’t stop thinking about.. Laurel Falls. Many of our guests travelled from different states and it was important to us that the venue be convenient for them to get to while still giving them the quintessential Western North Carolina mountain experience. We stayed on site along with some of our closest friends and it was truly such a great time. I’m terribly indecisive, but working with the Laurel Falls team and their recommended vendors was a wonderful experience. If you’re reading this review and wondering if this is the venue for you, we were in your shoes a year ago and can confidently say you won’t regret hosting your celebration at Laurel Falls.

June 2026 Wedding

My husband and I got married at Laurel Falls in June 2026 and it was the best weekend we could have asked for. First of all, the communication is unmatched. They always have tools and ideas to help you plan. Another selling point for us was the history of the venue -they walk you through it when you take a tour -it is so neat!

The venue had enough room for all of our wedding party to stay on site (parents, siblings, bridesmaids and groomsmen) - making it so easy to coordinate the rehearsal dinner and day of. They have a fire pit that you can use for a welcome party the night before which allowed everyone to see the venue and visit with each other. We truly felt like we were able to visit with all of our guests-while still being able to be together and present the day of our wedding.

We also loved that the venue didn't look like your typical wedding venue. There is no heart shaped bushes or anything like that, just stunning scenery and a space that felt like home -because it was someone's for so long!!

Everything was beautiful and cozy and exactly what we had hoped for. We couldn't recommend this venue enough!!!

Laurel Falls was our Dream Wedding Venue!

Laurel Falls was the absolute perfect spot to host our wedding celebration in May! We were able to have our entire immediate family stay onsite with us Thursday to Sunday which made for an incredibly special weekend that felt relaxed and fun (not something you hear people say about their wedding weekend often)! The Laurel Falls staff was amazing to work with from start to finish! We were lucky enough to get a personal tour from the owner of the property where we learned the history of Laurel Falls which was super cool. Kristen, Laurel Falls' Event Director, is an absolute gem! She is personable, kind, and extremely communicative which is exactly what you want when making an investment in planning such an important event.  The accommodations at Laurel Falls are fantastic! Each cabin is incredibly well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and there's plenty of space for your closest friends and family to hang out together for a few days to celebrate in a beautiful location!  We would love to do our wedding all over again at Laurel Falls as it was just so magical and fun! We highly recommend Laurel Falls for your wedding event!!

A Perfect Autumn Wedding Experience

Having Laurel Falls for four days and three nights was an absolute game-changer for our wedding weekend. It gave us the chance to truly connect and celebrate with our guests, most of whom traveled from all over the country. It’s rare to get that kind of extended, quality time with your favorite people, and it made the entire experience so much more meaningful and relaxed.

From start to finish, the Laurel Falls team was incredible. Their communication was always fast, friendly, and detailed, which made planning from Denver so much easier. The setup and teardown crew was fantastic, they made sure every detail of the property was perfectly arranged for our wedding day. We used Ceremony Rock, the barn, barn deck, and barn patio, and each space offered its own unique charm and breathtaking views.

We also hosted our hibachi rehearsal dinner and a bonfire the night before our wedding, and the team even provided the firewood! It was such a fun and cozy way to kick off the weekend with our guests.

Every cabin and the venue itself came fully stocked and thoughtfully prepared, which was such a relief after traveling. From the stunning mountain views to the well-maintained grounds and comfortable accommodations, everything exceeded our expectations.

I would highly recommend Laurel Falls to anyone considering it as a wedding venue. The setting is magical, the team is wonderful, and I truly wouldn’t change a single thing about our experience. It was the perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and connection, a weekend we’ll never forget.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
