Wedding Weekend

Words cannot describe how intimate and beautiful The Barn at Valhalla is. We wanted a venue where our friends and families could come together, spend time, and join us for more than just few hours and that is exactly what The Barn provides.

We had our rehearsal dinner on Friday evening followed by pretty much everything from enjoying some quiet time near the fire or down at the Gazebo to playing games of pool, darts, ping pong, and poker in the game room. Saturday was our wedding and it could not have been more perfect.

Marguerite and her team were so responsive and helped us with anything and everything that we needed up until hours before our wedding. Whenever we had questions we received a response within a few hours but it was usually within the hour! We visited the venue four times during our planning and each time we arrived it was even more breathtaking. Our wedding was almost a week ago and we are still receiving calls and texts of how amazing it was!! Pictures and words do not do The Barn at Valhalla justice, I assure you if you go and visit you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for everything Marguerite!!

Mace Tanner was blown away at everything from the staff to the place itself!!! Incredibly Amazing beyond words. Everything was perfect.

I went to my sister's wedding there. I'm a musician but I never played a wedding before that I was actually in and had to perform in. I panicked mistakenly and acted like a jerk to the staff but quickly apologized. They wouldn't hear a word of it. I know I was but they were so beyond wonderful. The beauty of this paradise was only surpassed by the beauty of everyone that worked there. I give ten stars and a comet too!! If my wife ever leaves me I am going to apply for a job there. Absolutely one of my best experiences and it wasn't even my wedding.

The perfect setting for my fairytale autumn wedding!

The Barn at Valhalla was my DREAM wedding venue. We got married at the peak of the autumn color change (end of October), and the gorgeous reds, yellows and oranges made our wedding simply magical. We had our ceremony on the hearth deck, shaded by the golden leaves of the property’s little forest. The cocktail hour was held in the lodge and on the wrap-around deck, our dinner was in a tent outside the barn, and dancing was in the barn. We loved how dynamic the property was; we felt that the guests could never get bored, as they were constantly seeing different parts of the property, and they were always free to roam around. Our guests RAVED about how beautiful the venue was.

The buildings are rustic but refurbished and well-maintained. The minute you enter the barn, you are engulfed by the rich smell of wood! Marguerite has struck the balance between elegance and coziness; the drapery and chandeliers are gorgeous and elevating, but there is also a humble and homey feeling to the space. We were so privileged to be able to stay there all weekend—not only did this give us the chance to set up the venue the way we wanted, but we had the opportunity to really bond with family and friends over the course of the weekend. Not to mention that the honeymoon suite is absolutely gorgeous, with an enormous walk-in shower (with three shower heads!), private hot tub and sitting room with piano, and plenty of closet space!

I cannot sing Marguerite’s praises enough. From day one, she was extremely flexible and committed to helping us execute our vision. It was clear throughout the process that her number one goal was to help us have an amazing weekend. On the day of the wedding, we had a total of 12 different vendors, plated meals for nearly 100 guests, and many decorations brought from home. She juggled it all, and I did not have to worry about a thing. She was so organized and confident, and she set everything up perfectly. She was available at all hours to help us with anything that we needed, and we were so grateful for all her support.

No venue is perfect, so here are some considerations that we wished we’d been aware of ahead of time: If you want a band for the reception, you will likely have to rent a separate tent for the dinner (the small tent for ~100 people ended up costing us about $3000); this also means that the band would play after dinner because the tent is not contiguous with the barn. Also, although the tables and chairs do come with the venue, you will have to rent all your tablecloths/tableware/catering items separately. Marguerite has a good selection of items for much cheaper than you would get from a rental company, and she will set up a design appointment with you to go through the options, but I wish I had been aware of this additional expense. In addition, as much as I love Marguerite and wish that she could be everywhere at once, her constant dedication to making every wedding great can often lead to slow response times during the planning process. I think that she could probably benefit from having an assistant coordinator. I can’t imagine doing everything that she does on her own, but she does make it work!

In the end, these were only minor considerations, and I am so grateful to have gotten married at the Barn at Valhalla. Thanks to Marguerite and her team, I had one of the best days of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Great day!

Mother Nature decided to rain on us all day, but Marguerite and the entire staff went out of their way to make the day a memorable one. We are truly grateful for their help making lemonade out of lemons. Umbrellas at every entrance. Seamless shift to a day full of “Plan B’s” because of the rain. While others panicked a bit, Marguerite and staff were the picture of calm and patience. Fantastic day after all. Thanks you again for a day I am sure my daughter will cherish forever.

A magical venue!!

I can’t recommend this place enough!!! Marguerite And her team absolutely killed it! It poured down rain the entire weekend and Marguerite did a fantastic job with helping me figure out plan B for shifting the ceremony inside and it was just as magical and beautiful as I dreamed it would be! And when I tell you it was pouring it was POURING! But Marguerite and her team didn’t skip a beat in making sure I was happy and putting things together to keep everyone as dry as possible! All our family came from out of town so to be able to allow our whole wedding party and immediate family to stay on site with us was a huge plus and just made the weekend even more magical being able to spend all that time with family and friends all weekend and not have to worry about travel on or before our wedding day! Through the whole process she made sure we had everything we needed and really made sure our day was still so perfect even with all the rain! The grounds are so beautiful and at every turn!! Highly highly recommend having your wedding here!! Such a magical place and the team is just top notch!!!

Like a fairytale!

The Barn at Vahalla was the perfect venue to get married at. My husband and I wanted a woodsy/fairytale vibe for our wedding and that’s exactly what we got here! Marguerite and her team did an amazing job at setting up and directing the flow for our wedding. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place! Marguerite is also so so so nice! She made planning the event super fun and easy.

Barn at Valhalla Wedding

My husband and I spent hours researching wedding venues and the barn stood out to us from the
beginning. After seeing it in person, we knew we had found the perfect place to have our wedding.
Throughout the entire process Marguerite and her team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and very
patient with all my questions. Leading up to the wedding I had no worries about the day because I felt so
comfortable with Marguerite and her team. We loved being able to have our family and the wedding
party stay on site, and the ability to have the barn from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon. We got to
spend so much extra time with our friends and family having the whole weekend with them. Waking up
at the barn the day of the wedding was made even better by how peaceful the setting is there. People
commented on how calm I was that day and it’s very much due to Marguerite and everyone at the barn.
I literally worried about nothing and while it seemed like an effortless day, I know there was a whole
team of people working hard to make sure that’s how I felt. The bonus of leaving the next day with the
only responsibility of taking home with us what we had brought, helped out once again by everyone at
the barn. I really can’t say enough about how much we loved having our wedding at The Barn at
Valhalla. The beauty of the venue teamed with the kindness and hard work of everyone who works
there truly made it the best day of our lives.

Truly a dream venue!

The Barn at Valhalla was the last venue we visited, and we knew that it was the one right away. We knew we wanted our wedding to feel fun, joyous, intimate and personal and the Barn fit the bill perfectly! It was important to us that our families and wedding party could spend extended time together over the weekend, and this was absolutely the right place for that. This venue is the best of several worlds, as if a serene mountain cabin getaway, joyous overnight summer camp, and chic resort and spa were rolled into one space. At every step of the way, our family and friends were stunned by the Barn’s effortless charm, and we made sure to take full advantage of the property over the course of our weekend staying there. We chose to hold our ceremony down in the Grove by the edge of the lake, our rehearsal dinner in the Lodge, and our reception at the Barn (with the cocktail hour on the Barn deck). But really you can’t go wrong here, as Marguerite has put such care and attention into the Barn. She’s constantly updating and improving it, from the hidden basement hangout lounge (behind a secret door!) to added lodging like the RV and Tiny House - our guests took advantage of all of it! We loved staying here — the honeymoon suite is incredible! — and so did members of our wedding party. We didn’t want to check out and talked about how we wished we could come back for a weekend getaway on our own to soak in the hot tub, drink morning coffee out along the gazebo, and marvel at the year-round elegance and radiance of the Barn at Valhalla. We're so happy to have had the opportunity to celebrate our postponed wedding here; it was a dream!

I can't say enough great things about The Barn at Valhalla! The owner and manager both truly care for their clients and help to make their events unforgettable! It's not often that you have vendors like these that go the extra mile. It's a gorgeous gem of a venue located close to Chapel Hill, but far enough away for you to feel as if you're on a rustic retreat or vacation! One of their biggest advantages is the rustic yet luxurious beauty of the onsite accommodations. It provides an amazing "at home" feeling for clients since they can stay the entire weekend! Truly my #1 recommendation to clients in search of a special venue.
