Recent Wedding comment by Rhonda Millsaps Peterson..... The wedding was absolutely perfect! God sent a sweet, cooling breeze in the air to cool it down just long enough to have the ceremony! He poured his blessings down in the form of rain while we were inside for the reception and then he painted the most beautiful shade of blue in the skies for pictures! Without question it was the best reception ever! A great time was had by all! It was absolutely perfect!

We had our wedding at Payne Meadows on 4-28-18 and it couldn't have been a more perfect venue! From the first time we made contact with Robert and Linda, they were so sweet, accommodating and helpful. Anytime we had a question, or needed to come by the venue, they were always open to anything we needed to do. They made our wedding experience as stress free as possible, helped us set up for the wedding, helped park cars and greeted guests. They are some of the most genuine and friendly people! You cannot find a more reasonably priced wedding venue in the tri-state area as Payne Meadows and the view is beautiful. This venue is a hidden gem! The on-site house was the perfect place for us and our wedding party to get ready and there were so many pretty places around the property for our wedding photographer to get pictures. We are so happy and pleased with Payne Meadows as our venue choice for one of the best days of our lives that we will remember forever! If you are looking for a wedding venue in the western North Carolina mountains, Payne Meadows is the place to go.
