The absolute best venue that has the best bang for the buck!!
You absolutely get the value you’re paying for. Great wedding package, rain backup options, well established, employees are extremely helpful and professional, gorgeous views and property, beautiful rustic/naturesque lodge, and extremely accommodative. They had golf carts for us to use for guests and bridal party, ramps were great for anyone who can’t walk/walk well, and accommodates for food allergies and makes sure to list them for your event! In house food and bar service (both absolutely exceptional and reasonable priced, everyone raved over how great the food and cake tasted!!), and the venue itself is so beautiful on its own you only need minimal decor. Holly and Ariel were the absolute best to work with and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the entire process. My wedding went so smoothly because of everyone who worked there knew exactly what they were doing and the venue even recommends external vendors so you can find the best option for you and they’ll know the exact flow and layout that Laurel Ridge has as well. All of my guests kept talking about how beautiful, enjoyable, and fun of a wedding it was all thanks to Laurel Ridge. 100000/10 recommend!!

March 7 wedding
We held our ceremony and reception here earlier this month and had the best time! The view was amazing and the space itself was breathtaking. Event coordinators responded quickly and answered every question we had. They had a select number of preferred vendors who were also wonderful! Overall they helped make our day as special as it could get.

Book today!
My husband and I just got married here last month and it was PERFECT!! We STILL have people raving about how beautiful the venue was. The views are 12/10 and you'll have picture backdrops that are straight out of a wedding magazine.
Holly and her team were the best to work with, and we didn't have to worry about a single thing day of. She answered our a million and one questions throughout the year with details & photos since we planned our wedding from states away. She even facetimed us the entire venue a couple of times so we could really get a feel for the space. I'm so beyond thankful for her and all the work the staff did day of to make it truly the best day ever. I can't recommend them enough!!!

Just a Perfect Day
My daughter's wedding day at Laurel Ridge was more than we could have dreamed of. Holly and her staff were very professional from the moment we arrived and even the most minor of details were attended to. The bartenders were efficient and extremely personable. The food was served promptly (not easy with 138 guests!) and everyone raved about the quality. The location is magical and, and pair that with the amazing Holly, you have the perfect wedding venue!

Love at First Site
My husband and I could not be more thankful we found Laurel Ridge. We got married outside at the Arbor and had our reception at the Pavillion. The director, Holly, is the sweetest person you will ever meet. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we, and our guests, had a perfect night. The bridal suite breakfast far exceeded our expectations (and was the best bacon I probably have ever had). Our guests raved about the food (parmesan crusted salmon and prime rib) and the views!
The two most important items to us in finding a venue was to be in the mountains and to find a place our dog, Monty (a Rottie), could walk down the aisle. Laurel Ridge blew both of those requirements out of the water. They were so accommodating to Monty and all of our last minute changes (including to the floor plan!). We had never heard of Waynesville before finding Laurel Ridge online as a possible venue. Now it is a place we love and can’t wait to return to. If you, like us, are planning a destination wedding, the views at Laurel Ridge make the travel so worth it!
Finally, we were able to stay well within our budget - and Holly made the planning process so easy! We cannot say enough positive things about this special place and team.

The most perfect wedding day
My husband and I just got married at Laurel Ridge last weekend and I could not possibly do their team justice in one review, but I will try my best. Holly and Ariel were absolutely wonderful to work with from our first walkthrough. They are kind, communicative, and incredibly helpful. Every part of the wedding planning process was so easy with this team. The food was absolutely incredible, bar staff and servers were incredibly kind, and Holly and Ariel worked with our vendors to ensure that our day was perfect - and it truly was.
If you are looking for a venue that will take your breath away, do yourself a favor and set up a walkthrough here. The views are beautiful and each reception space is ideal. We had our ceremony at the arbor and our reception at the pavilion, but if we had to move inside for the rain, I would have still been thrilled. So many of our guests had stated that they looked at pictures of the venue before attending and were still awestruck when they stepped onto the property.
We could not possibly be more grateful for Laurel Ridge Country Club and its team for giving us the most wonderful wedding day.

Beautiful Venue!
I worked with Holly to plan a rehearsal dinner for my son and daughter-in-law. She responded to each email promptly and professionally. I found the entire staff to be friendly and fun. The dinner was wonderful!

Perfect, seamless, beautiful venue!
Could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding! Functionally, the most seamless venue for a one-stop-shop wedding venue: several options for indoor or outdoor ceremony, reception, rain plan, and rehearsal needs all within feet of each other which makes it easy to move people between events. They are flexible to work with in providing standard cutlery/tables/linens/etc or work with outside vendors who provide more options meaning you can tailor your wedding as much as you want to your taste and budget. Not to mention the stunning views of the mountains and a venue with rustic class. Above all is the amazing staff - the wedding managers, Holly and Ariel, are attentive to detail, thoughtful, talented at their work, and above all just the kindest people to plan such a special day with. The great staff doesn’t stop there: the food team (shoutout Dustin), the chef (best wedding food you’ve ever had), the bar staff (shoutout Sam), and all everyone we encountered were beyond generous, helpful, and made our wedding especially perfect!

Hey there! So I got married at Laurel Ridge Country Club this past winter and let me tell you, it was the absolute best decision I could have made! Holly and her team of staff are absolutely top notch. They work so hard to make your wedding day perfect. My family and friends went on and on about how incredibly beautiful the venue is, how nice the staff was, and how great the food tasted. I would recommend this venue to any bride. They strive to create your vision and I cannot stress how wonderful the whole experience was. If you are a bride looking for a venue, this is the place you want your wedding to be at.

Laurel Ridge Country Club; a beautiful clubhouse, stunning backdrop, that makes our job so easy in creating floral environments for romantic mountain weddings.
