Best Venue Ever

I’m not even sure where to start with MVF because they were absolutely flawless. Our day didn’t even have the slightest hiccup. Kristal was the most amazing coordinator! Also being able to stay the whole weekend was a huge bonus for us. Beautifully kept, great price, and amazing staff. What more could you ask for?!

Above and Beyond our expectations!

MT View Farm in Rougemont, NC went above and beyond to make sure our 50th Class reunion was the best we had ever had. We had 130 folks and we got so many compliments of the facility and the service. We would highly recommend Mt View Farm for any event.

Mountain View Farm is a beautiful horse farm located in northern Durham Co., that my daughter selected as her venue for her June wedding and we were very pleased with everything, The owners were wonderful to work with; flexible with ideas of the wedding plans, and they went "over and beyond" to make the wedding day very special for the couple. They even offered to let us use one of their vintage trucks to let the couple "leave" -sitting on the tail gate, after the ceremony--( made great wedding photos). Having checked prices at other venues, I found this venue to be extremely reasonable for all that the farm offers. It includes the use of the apartment for the wedding weekend that sleeps 6-8, a full kitchen, and 3 bathrooms for the wedding party. My daughter and her bridesmaids stayed there Friday night, and had hair and make up on site on Sat. for the event. There is also a separate location for the groom and his guys to dress and prepare for the wedding. The price also includes a wonderful, professional wedding planner/coordinator -Kristal Cloer. The Farm offers multiple locations for the ceremony and also a covered space in case of rain. It is professionally landscaped, and offers one of the most beautiful settings for a wedding. I recommend taking a short trip out of town to visit this farm, you will not be disappointed.

We had a beautiful ceremony at the pavilion and reception at Mountain View Farm. The views and backdrops for photos are amazing--but even better was the service from the staff before, during, and after the wedding. Kristal helped us finalize a million tiny details to get ready for the big day starting an entire year before. Her day of facilitation of the wedding was exceptional and very impressive/appreciated by the bride! Sandra and her staff also did an amazing job of making sure everything ran smoothly the weekend of the wedding. Our stress levels were low to non-existent knowing so many details were taken care of! As a bonus you can stay on the property for the entire weekend in their beautiful guest house, meaning you don't have to worry about getting around during the big weekend, but can enjoy the peaceful property with your friends and family instead. We 100% recommend this venue and thank Sandra, Kristal and their team for all of their hard work!

Got the land with the view

This is a gorgeous wedding venue, especially in the fall time. Me and my wife have driven by this place for several years and always have joked about getting married there because it's so beautiful and then turns out they do weddings there and we booked them once we were engaged. The owners and staff alike did plenty to help us out with the setting up breaking down and cleaning up but the contract will stipulate that you are pretty much responsible for a lot of these things like cleaning up/breaking down on your own so be sure you have ample help to do that. The florist and wedding coordinator were OK but this is one part I would encourage seeing what other options you have for that. I think they did a fine job and were quite cordial but any wife to be are going to nitpick at details, so if they want everything as they view perfect then to see what other options they may find.

There are options as well for indoor/outdoor weddings so it's a very versatile venue. We thought we were going to have a rainy wedding but luckily it was quite a sunny and warm day when the big day came.

Overall I enjoyed my experience with Mountain View farm. Was a gorgeous venue and a great day.

The beauty of the venue isn't worth the anxiety of the staff.

Long post but if you're seriously considering this venue PLEASE read, please.
This is my personal experience.

It is with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes that I write this review. I fell in love with Mountain View Farm because of the beauty of the venue. I just knew I would have the perfect most beautiful wedding there. Everything was fine until the week of our wedding and we paid the final payment. Then everything changed.

Once the owner got our money, that was it. The friendliness was gone, the 'what can I do to help' attitude was gone and their true colors were shown. The main issue was three "women" that worked there: the owner, the coordinator and the florist the venue "recommends" but I did not use. The easiest way to do this is to just make a list of things that upset me.

1. Every single person that worked there made me cry because of how rude and disrespectful they were the day before my wedding, the day of my wedding and the day after.

2. The coordinator that came with the venue was useless. I had multiple people ask me where she came from and who she was because she was so terrible and disorganized. Looking back, I wish I had handled everything myself and not used her services. It would have stopped me from lots of anxiety and pain later on.

3. I caught lots of backlash every time I wanted to do something MY way and not "the way its always been done". Simple things like where I wanted the tables at or how the chairs were pushed up to the tables. Things that if the bride wanted, should not have been an issue.

4. I did not use the florist that the venue recommended because she told me point blank that she could not make me happy or do the floral arrangements I wanted. Which I think was the turning point that the owner and the coordinator started thinking they were the lead actresses in Mean Girls since I didn't hire their friend. The three amigos were used to running the show together and I didn't hire one of them, so the other two changed their attitudes towards me drastically.

5. They tried to take 12 of our germ-x bottles but my mom found them, they took wine that the bartenders had left for us and left over cake.

6.They threw away a lot.... a LOT of polaroid pictures we had taken that night. I will never be able to get them back. Which I think hurts my feelings more than anything.

7. The florist that I didn't hire, was still instructed by the owner to work my wedding. Which I think was just another way for the owner to "stick it to me" since I didn't hire her friend. She (the fake florist) went around and tried to rearrange everything the florist that I did hire and myself had put together. My sister had to go tell her MULTIPLE times to leave things the way they were because that's the way I wanted it.

8. They didn't only bully me, they bullied the florist I did hire to the point of tears as well. The lack of professionalism from the owner, coordinator and venues florist was mind blowing.

9. The venues florist (the one I didn't hire and made my life awful) told a bold face lie about me to the owner. She knows good and well what she said was a lie. She has to sleep with what she did at night and I'm not sure how she could treat someone the way she did and be ok with herself as a human. I do not take kindly to someone trying to trash my character so I reached out to her the day after the wedding to address the issue and she never responded.

10. The same lying, unprofessional and mean florist that was not hired by me yet still somehow was working my wedding, was also taking shots with my sister while she was supposed to be working. That just goes to show how much respect she had for me and my husband and our wedding.

11. Nothing went smoothly. I tried for months and weeks before the wedding to nail down details with the coordinator and more ofter than not I was brushed off.

12. The draft of the wedding day itinerary had numerous errors including MY NAME. She didn't even bother to look through and change the details of a previous wedding and everything was wrong. Such a lack of attention to detail and professionalism.

13. The coordinator didn't have anything where it needed to be when it needed to be there. My sister, my mom and myself ended up doing a lot of the work because she just wouldn't listen to me. Which is ridiculous. I guess I understand now why she was part of the venues package and she wasn't extra. I would never use her again for any event ever. Completely unorganized and unwilling to help. I rented some things from her and she never gave me the change for those things either. Something else the venue took from me.

We had until 3pm Sunday the day after the wedding to have everything gone and leave. The owner was calling me multiple times starting at 8am, wondering if we were up and gone yet and if things were finished.
How rude to call that early and keep pestering when we had literal HOURS left.

It just makes me sad. It actually hurts deep in my soul to have my wedding day tarnished by such mean, heartless women who just don't care about you or your wedding day. I can understand how they have so much business because they promise you the moon and the starts until they get their check then its over.

I wish I could redo everything and run far far away from this venue. The beauty of the venue does not outweigh the stress, anxiety and tears that come with picking this venue.
