MOB, and I could not have been happier.
Kim and Ray had all the connections possible, and were dedicated to making my daughter's wedding as unique as she is...

I could not have asked for a more perfect venue for my daughters wedding! It was a beautiful setting among God’s creation and was absolutely beautiful! Kim and her husband were wonderful to work with and even after the ceremony I still consider them family! When we were visiting other venues in the area, they were all beautiful, but when we went to Cornerstone for the first time, none of the others were close in comparison. They really cared about every detail! So if you are looking for a venue for a wedding, a reunion, or a birthday/anniversary venue, I strongly suggest you visiting Cornerstone. You will not regret it!

The Barn at Cornerstone for reception and lodging for wedding party

This venue was so cute. Barn allowed 100 guests seating for reception and a dance floor without moving tables. Bridal party and family stayed on site with accommodations for 26. Ray and Kim were very professional and helped us where needed. Our guests loved it. We would do it again. They knew how and where to set up the food and beer truck too and totally understood the event and flow of our guests.

I've been in the wedding business for over a decade and these guys truly set the bar. If you're looking for a perfect mountain barn wedding, look no further. I wish I could give Kim & Ray more than five stars because they are honestly the best in the business!

We had an outdoor wedding with 100 guests planned for my daughter May 12, 2017 in Boone, NC. As the forecast grew more and more grim for that day, we had to make the decision to change venues three days before the wedding. I came across The Barn at Cornerstone and contacted Kim immediately. I was stressed and in full panic mode but as soon as I talked to her she began putting me at ease. She explained that although the Barn was not quite completed she would do anything in her power to help make this work. The day I visited her, the barn had no electricity. We talked through it and decided to rent a generator. The barn was still in progress but was already beautiful and rustic and I could envision something truly special there. Kim and her husband, Ray, worked tirelessly and two days later when we arrived to decorate and rehearse, the Barn not only had electricity but beautiful chandeliers were hung. We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner outdoors at the lodge that evening. The setting was georgeous and the grounds were lovely. Ray continued working on the barn up until the afternoon of the wedding and Kim attended to every detail and also coordinated with my caterer. She took so much work and worry off my hands and allowed me to enjoy every moment. We ended up having the most beautiful, intimate wedding that evening. Rain fell heavy on the roof of the barn as they took their vows. It was absolutely magical. I know that once the barn is complete it will be one of the best venues around. There are beautiful venues everywhere but you will be hard pressed to find people like Kim and Ray. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Kim and Ray were attentive to the needs of our family. They helped coordinate details during our planning and were a resource for our wedding party. Their responsiveness and forethought made our weekend memorable and hassle free. Cornerstone cabins are a great place to house the wedding party and host activities. They are affordable and convenient. Fred and Betty Gunter

Our wedding weekend was an absolute dream! BOOK THIS VENUE NOW! Ray and Kim went over and beyond & worked to make sure we had every single detail squared away. Our entire wedding weekend was even more than we could've ever imagined. We talk often about how we would love to relive it all again. Hospitality and peace surround this property.

If you want help with creating the perfect wedding, Kim and Ray at Cornerstone will help you take care of everything you ever thought you needed and more. This was a beautiful setting and venue for my daughter's wedding and I know once the Barn is ready it will be perfect. The lodge is amazing for the family and guests and easily sleeps 8 plus the cabins on the property allow even more family to stay close by. Everyone at our event spoke so highly of the beauty of the place and the quality of the venue. The owners are just terrific; after all was said and done, they felt like family, too. I just couldn't have asked for more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
