Excellent service

We had our daughter’s wedding at the Piermont Cottage owned by Old Edwards. Everything was just as we had hoped for and planned for.
The arbor was covered in roses. The lawns were perfect. Food was great. They did an all gluten free menu. Catering manager, Marina, was so helpful. Can’t say enough good about the event.

AMAZING Wedding Experience

Our daughter's wedding venue was The Farm at Old Edwards, and it is absolutely breathtaking! Old Edwards knows what they're doing and they do it extremely well. Sophie, the Catering and Events Manager, worked with us throughout the planning process to ensure that no detail was missed. She was always responsive and accommodating, and she provided all the information we needed to make decisions regarding wedding and reception setup, scheduling, food and beverage, etc. Her experience and expertise were invaluable to us. She and all of the staff were so easy to work with. And Chef Huerta provided an AMAZING spread throughout the evening. We had numerous guests tell us afterwards that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding, and that the entire staff that evening were quite impressive. And we agree! We have nothing but positive things to say about the entire experience. It was a perfect weekend!

Dream Wedding!

I can’t say enough good things about Old Edwards! We are based in Boston and decided to have a destination wedding at the Farm at Old Edwards in October 2022. We were a bit nervous planning our wedding from afar, but Old Edwards not only made the process and communication super easy, but they left us and our guests in awe on our big day. We worked closely with Sophie - she was supremely organized and responsive. I wanted our reception hall to look like Hogwarts and Sophie bent over backwards to help us (and our vendors) realize that vision. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and the food and drink were out of this world - a month later our guests are STILL saying our wedding was the best they’ve ever attended!! You really can’t go wrong with Old Edwards. We can’t wait to go back and visit!

A wonderful wedding weekend at Old Edwards

The team at Old Edwards is top notch and dedicated to ensuring a perfect wedding experience! Most of our communications was with Sophie Delany, who was so responsive, professional, patient and kind in every way throughout the months of planning. During the actual wedding weekend she went out of her way to be there for us, guiding us each day so that the bride and groom, and our guests had the best experience possible. I really appreciate that we could rely on her experience to make many of our decisions easier. Thank you Sophie -- and thank you also to the many other members of your team who were just wonderful!

December Wedding at Old Edwards

My Husband and I absolutely love Highlands, NC and the Old Edwards Inn event planners - this place holds such a special place in our hearts and is where Jake proposed last year so we knew it was a place we wanted to bring all of our friends and family to celebrate our wedding weekend. We first met with Gabby Stone at the Old Edwards Inn wedding and banquet planning center, she was (and continued to be) so accommodating and showed us every single venue Old Edwards has to offer. She spent hours with us during our first meeting and really cared about getting to know Jake and I as a couple. She helped us envision our wedding day and gave wonderful suggestions for wedding vendors that know Old Edwards extremely well. Gabby helped Jake and I make our wedding day unique and offered amazing suggestions. We continued to work with Gabby throughout the year of planning and she was very responsive, easy to talk to, and really knows the venues and wedding process like the back of her hand which made emailing and calling her extremely helpful. Not only is Gabby professional, kind and warm but she is such an amazing person who really cares about each and every couple that plans their wedding with Old Edwards. Gabby made Jake and I feel so special throughout the entire planning process and made us feel like celebrities throughout our wedding weekend. Gabby is such a positive energy and we greatly appreciated her awesome and up-beat personality throughout the weekend. Gabby helped Jake and I plan the rehearsal dinner and wedding and when it came time for our wedding weekend it was better than we could have ever imagined. From the amazing food, flawless service, easy to work with transportation and gorgeous venue to her assistance during the ceremony and reception, our wedding weekend was amazing. Gabby really makes sure every detail is thought out and we were extremely impressed with Gabby and the entire banquet team at Old Edwards Inn. Our wedding weekend was a fairytale and each and every one of our guests made it a point to make it known that the food, drinks and service were all impeccable and that the weekend was a dream. Highlands is such a magical place and that is largely due to the Old Edwards Inn and Gabby Stone. Thank you Gabby from the bottom of our hearts, you are truly amazing!

Perfect venue

Highlands is one of my favorite places in the world, and The Farm at Old Edwards was truly the most beautiful wedding venue. Everything was perfect, from the precious house where the bridal party got ready, to the grounds, to the Orchard House for the ceremony, the Orchard for cocktail house, and the barn for the reception. The food was outstanding, as was the wonderful Old Edwards team. The Old Edwards team was so wonderful to work with, especially during covid when we had to reschedule and slash our numbers by over half. I could not recommend this venue more highly (and wish we could do it all over again, because it was the best day of my life).

Beautiful wedding venue with perfect staff

We got married at the Hutchinson House with 50 guests. Everything was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. Jessica Silver was so patient with me and went over all the options over many different phone calls. :) Once we made the decision to get married at the Hutchinson House, Amy Redl helped us execute all of the details. We do not live in North Carolina, and having Amy and the Old Edwards team handling everything gave us so much peace of mind. They truly think of every detail. Old Edwards worked seamlessly with our other vendors to make sure everything came together and our wedding was perfect. We cannot recommend getting married here enough!!!

Spectacular

Elizabeth Judy and the staff at Old Edwards Inn made our special day absolutely perfect. We wanted a custom elopement type wedding and they certainly delivered. We stayed in the newly built Luxury Suite and definitely felt like a king and queen for the weekend. Heated floors in the bathroom!! There are so many great things to say. We enjoyed massages at the spa. I had my make up done at the salon. We had our happy hour at Hummingbird Lounge. The ceremony took place on the Croquet Lawn. We enjoyed time by the pool. It was just such a perfect day and the staff at Old Edwards made that happen for us!

If I could give Old Edwards 10 stars I would. They were amazing and far exceeded my expectations. I had a small wedding and anticipated being treated good but I was treated exceptionally well, as if my wedding was the only one that mattered. I am so glad we chose to have our wedding with them. They most certainly know what they're doing. I can't imagine my wedding be anymore beautiful than it was. Thank you so much!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
