Venue of our Dreams

We knew from the minute we first toured the Barn on New River that it was the one for us! It is absolutely stunning and the perfect venue if you want to be surrounded by the mountains and the outdoors! Not to mention the venue is yours all weekend long- you can't beat that! Our wedding truly was perfect mainly due to this being our venue! Paula is sooo amazing and will make you feel right at home. We did our rehearsal dinner and wedding at the venue and she was there every time we needed something- she is the definition of Southern Hospitality! Our guests were blown away and had so many different places to explore- from the barn to the flower garden to the river to the cornhole and fire pit! If you want the most gorgeous photos BOOK this venue! I can't stop looking at our photos from the flower garden and sunset photos on the mountain! Hands down the best venue in the high country!

Worth every penny!

Paula and Bethany are absolutely sent from heaven! From the moment my husband and I met Paula and saw her beautiful venue, we knew it was THE one! Paula has such a sweet and welcoming spirit about her that immediately put us at ease. She showed us around the venue and ensured us that her and her team were there to make. it. happen! And they ABSOLUTELY DID!
In truth, they were the one element of my wedding that was completely stress-free. There really isn't much more you could ask from your wedding venue.

In typical form, it absolutely poured on our wedding day. Moving the ceremony inside made next to no difference because of the natural beauty of everything. It seamlessly incorporated the look of an outdoor ceremony with the convenience and comfort of an indoor ceremony. Our coordinator Bethany flawlessly navigated the last minute overnighted umbrellas ordered. They ended up being held at the local post office due to their weight. I found out late the night before our wedding and hurriedly texted her. True to form, she provided an immediate solution and had Paula's husband at the post office first thing the morning of the wedding to have them picked up. They just could not have been more willing or accommodating to what the event needed.

Paula and Bethany truly were the backbone to our wedding! We cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us. We are so grateful!

The Most Beautiful Venue

The Barn at New River is spectacular; all of my guests came up to me and commented how beautiful the venue, setting, and the barn were! The barn is elegant with chandeliers and the original wood look! The mountains are a prefect ceremony background to the outside arbor and fountain!! Paula has also done an awesome job with the gardens, the flowers were blooming and she was very helpful!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
