Ashley Sent on 10/11/2021Couldn't have picked a better venue out of a fairytale!
My husband and I were married at Claxton in July 2021, and the experience was beyond amazing. Claxton’s whole team worked closely with us and our planner right up to the day of the event making sure everything was perfect. Emily made the planning process easy and enjoyable. She was responsive and flexible, and went out of her way to accommodate any and all requests. The staff onsite the day of was anticipatory and responsive (shoutout to Jackie on being there throughout the night to make sure we ate and always had full drinks)! The food is catered through the company that owns the venue, M7 Events, and it was excellent! We went with a BBQ theme for dinner with the smoked chicken and chopped beef brisket with corn pudding and green beans and it was SO good! For apps we did the bacon wrapped shrimp (DELISH), caprese bites and fried tomato biscuits - our guests are still commenting on how delicious it all was. Finally, the venue was beautiful with its lush green grass, gorgeous willow tree and stunning mountainous backdrop. Chocolate Chip (the llama) and the other animals on the farm were an absolute hit with guests too! The fire pit and smores situation was an amazing add-on to desserts along with our wedding cake! It was absolutely beyond anything we had envisioned and we cannot recommend Claxton Farm enough! -

I can’t even put into words how great Claxton was. I had never been to Asheville before, let alone visit the venue, so to say I was nervous would be an understatement. However, Emily was the most responsive and helpful person I think I’ve ever talked to. I changed my mind 100 times and she was so sweet every time. When I finally got to the venue, I was blown away. The pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. And my bridal attendant Jackie was on top of everything. Fixing my hair and dress for every photo, making sure I had a drink in hand, taking care of everything that I wouldn’t have even thought of. My day was seriously perfect and I would choose Claxton over and over again!! -

Kailey Sent on 11/03/2020Would recommend this venue to everybody!!
Claxton farms was nothing short of perfect, from their quick responsiveness, ability to figure anything out for me and just making me feel special in general.
Me and my now husband had a BLAST celebrating our love at their venue. I would 100% recommend them anyone in the area or even out of state like us looking for an outstanding venue. -

Chris Sent on 11/09/2019Claxton Farm helped make our wedding day magical!
Claxton Farm was incredible throughout the entire planning process. They told us everything we needed to know, they gave incredible suggestions and worked with us on every detail to make our wedding a dream come true. Come the day of the wedding, everything clicked together perfectly, in big part because of Claxton's staff, who were extremely professional. Our bridal attendant, Candace, was so sweet and kind, she took responsibility for nearly everything on the day so that we could enjoy ourselves and celebrate in the love of our marriage. Weeks later and we're both still stunned at how amazing and magical the wedding was. -

Our wedding here was absolutely beautiful and our night was perfect. The event staff were professional and nice. I am so glad they required a day-of coordinator; there is no way we would have had the perfect wedding we did without Jackie! The dinner could have been a little better, but other than that we wouldn’t change a thing - it was perfect! -

We are so happy we chose Claxton Farm for our wedding ceremony and reception. The views from the barn and the field are gorgeous- mountains in every direction and peaceful pastures provided the perfect backdrop to our day. Emily and Brenda were incredibly helpful, organized, and fun to work with as we planned and coordinated the day and the rest of the staff was equally professional, working hard to make the day perfect. -

My husband and I recently got married at Claxton Farm. From the beginning of the planning process all the way until the end, Brenda and Emily helped keep my husband and me both calm and excited for our big event. The venue was very accommodating, and our guests loved Chocolate Chip, the BBQ dinner, and the breathtaking mountain backdrop. We absolutely loved our experience working with Claxton Farm, and couldn’t have imagined a better wedding day! -

It's hard for me to write this review without crying happy tears because it was the best choice we could have made. Where do I even begin!? We live in Charlotte and took a weekend trip to Asheville to check out 3 venues. Claxton was the first venue we looked at and we knew it was the one the moment we saw it. We ended up going to the 2nd venue just because it was too late to cancel and ending up cancelling the 3rd venue we were supposed to visit... because we knew it was Claxton!! We booked the next day with Brenda and then I met (through email) Emily. Emily was a blessing! My mom and dad both passed away and planning was very hard at times, but Emily was always there for me and became a friend and someone I will never forget! She made everything so easy for me. I am blessed beyond measure to have met Emily and Brenda! The venue was absolutely stunning and so is the staff! Rachel was our day of coordinator and she was perfect and we clicked right away! She made sure everything went according to plan the day of and we appreciate her so much! I could seriously go on and on, but I think you all get the picture! We LOVE Claxton!! We received so many compliments and everyone had an amazing time! Thank you Emily. Brenda, Rachel, and all the staff at Claxton!! We will never forget you all!! -

Claxton Farm and M7 were absolutely fantastic to work with from the very start to the day-of. We mostly spoke/worked with Brenda initially who was so lovely and accommodating. She walked us through all the aspects of the venue from preparing for different weather scenarios, picking out a menu that suited everyone, recommending wonderful vendors, helping decide on the rentals, the layouts, and timeline for the day of.
Later we also had the pleasure of meeting Emily and Allen (the chef) for the day of our menu tasting. Everyone was so wonderful, taking their time to make us feel comfortable and explain all the options that were available to us. We were very happy with the menu we chose for the day of. Allen was very open and accommodating to help us meet dietary restrictions of some of our guests.
Both Brenda and Emily were always responsive and followed up with updates and notes after each of our meetings. Since we planned all our own wedding this was really fantastic and much appreciated! They were also very sweet in helping us implement last minute changes such as updating meals for our vendors, not to mention we forgot our cake topper the day-of and they were absolutely wonderful in letting us know and getting it back to us.
Our day-of coordinator, Candace, reached out prior to our wedding to make sure we had everything we needed and to answer any questions we might have had. She was such a blessing to have the day of the wedding as well, having her there let us know everything would be taken care of.
We can't thank the Claxton/M7 team enough for all their wonderful work and help in making our wedding day perfect! -

Denielle Sent on 06/25/2017Being a long distance bride made communication and flexibility particularly important- Claxton did wonderful helping us through the whole process. Treva was a great contact and organized everything perfectly. The venue is absolutely beautiful and worth every penny to have a wedding here. Our guests loved the barn and the absolutely breathtaking scenery around the actual venue. Not being able to taste-test the food before our wedding we were a wee bit nervous, but thankfully, we were very happy with the results! The food was great! The day of coordinator was wonderful and had everything set up just as we discussed. We used the DJ that Claxton often uses, Sound Extreme entertainment, and our DJ was a blast. Our guests have raved about the venue, and all the details involved, and we could not have been happier to have had our special day at Claxton! -

Nicole Sent on 10/21/2014Claxton was the perfect spot for our wedding! Tanya and Summer were fantastic to work with! They helped me plan long distance and gave honest feedback to my ideas! They helped take my vision and make it possible no matter how crazy or absurd! It was the best day ever and it was all thanks to them! Claxtons crew even helped keep some of our crazy relatives in line! Amazing job and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat with this crew! -

Danielle Sent on 08/22/2012Had our Rehearsal dinner at Claxton Farm and it exceeded our expectations. From the booking to planning Micah and Hailey were SO easy to work with. They were clearly knowledgeable too. Our Guests LOVED the Rehearsal Dinner. From the Smores, to the Carolina BBQ Menu, to the ambience (my family is from FL & NY so seeing Mini Horses, Llamas and a Tractor was so outside the box and fun for them). IMicah & Hailey are excellent at their jobs and I will absolutely recommend Claxton Farm for any event. Thank you!! -

Wendy Sent on 06/17/2009Everything about Claxton Farm is AMAZING. Maria Atkins and Micah Hartley were instrumental in making sure the our ceremony and reception were exactly what we wanted. They really can cater to any type of bride, but I think a wedding like ours (casual, soccer games, barbeque) fit especially well at the farm. You don't have to do much decorating at all since the mountains are always beautiful. We got married on May 30, 2009. The weather was perfect and there weren't many (or any that I am aware of) complaints about temperature or insects. The only requirement is that you use M7 Events Catering for your reception. We had numerous comments about the chicken and pork being the "best wedding food" ever! The entire process was fairly painless and we planned most of the event from Atlanta. Maria and Micah are excellent and responding via email and phone and the day of assistance was perfect and essential! The venue is great -- natural beauty, relaxing atmosphere and highly competent and personable staff!! If you want a "destination" wedding close to Asheville, NC, Claxton Farm is the place to go!! We loved it! -

Wedding of our dreams at Claxton Farm
Our wedding day at Claxton Farm was everything we dreamed of and more. I had it on my radar since before getting engaged as it was recommended to me, and it ended up being the only venue we toured — that’s how sure we were! The moment we stepped onto the property, we felt an overwhelming sense of peace and just knew it was where we were meant to say “I do.”
The setting instantly captured our hearts. Surrounded by mountains and nature, Claxton Farm is truly the idyllic Asheville venue. From ducks gliding on the pond, to sweeping willow trees, to goats who completely stole the show! We feel so incredibly lucky to have been married here.
Claxton Farm delivered not just a stunning setting, but a full experience that felt effortless, joyful, and completely us.
Emily and Molly made the planning process seamless with their professional and thorough communication. They helped keep me calm throughout all of the decisions and planning, always reassuring me that it was all going to work out. On the day itself, our coordinator Jackie ran everything like an absolute boss — calm, efficient, and on top of every detail. From a drink in our hands to food on our plates (and making sure our vendors were fed!), we didn’t have to worry about a thing. That allowed us to be fully present and soak in every moment.
We chose a variety of passed hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour and barbecue for dinner and all of it was incredible! Our guests are still raving about it and I'm still thinking about the mac and cheese!
Claxton Farm exceeded every expectation and we'll cherish our wedding day for the rest of our lives.
Without a doubt, we'd choose Claxton Farm a thousand times over! -

10 out of 10!
The team at Claxton made our wedding day truly magical. They were communicative and helpful in bringing our vision to life. Emily Lane made sure every detail was covered in the planning process and our Bridal Attendant Jackie was the best to make sure the day-of went smoothly! We highly recommend Claxton Farm for your wedding or event. The location is breathtaking and the staff is extremely professional, kind, thoughtful and attentive. Thank you Claxton Farm for all of your hard work! -

Fairy tale
Fairy tale. That is the word my daughter used to describe her wedding at Claxton Farm. The venue is breathtaking, even in the rain, and the staff worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly. The office staff, who organized the wedding details ahead of time was stellar. I just couldn't believe the responsiveness, care and patience Emily gave no matter how many questions or requests I had. She worked with me to ensure we took every precaution we could to keep guests safe during this pandemic. I would recommend Claxton Farm to anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue! -
