    A beautiful place for a wedding!

    My husband and I loved having our wedding at Emerald Ridge! The staff was amazing throughout our wedding planning experience and on the day of our wedding. Everything was beautiful!! Malorie was our wedding planner and we loved having her. She was very responsive, attentive to detail, and easy to talk with. We also really enjoyed the "No Rush" package. We did our rehearsal at the venue and the bridesmaids stayed in the house on the property all weekend. We would highly recommend Emerald Ridge!

    Beautiful venue!

    This venue is gorgeous! You truly feel like you are deep in the mountains while still only being a short drive to downtown Asheville. The transition from ceremony to reception was so smooth and a golf cart was available to transport guests from one site to another. Mason made himself available throughout the night and was so helpful and professional. Overall a really great venue!

    Beautiful Venue and Wonderful Staff

    Our wedding at Emerald Ridge Farm was absolutely lovely! From the very first tour to post-wedding cleanup, the entire experience was wonderful.

    The venue is absolutely gorgeous and we got so many compliments! There are beautiful flowers, spectacular mountain views , and COWS! Their package is truly all inclusive (including decor) and there are multiple areas to utilize — the barn, tent, tree, the deck. Plus, the location is awesome. It’s so close to downtown Asheville! And our guests enjoyed staying at nearby Airbnb’s.

    They have great add-ons like coordination and setup/cleanup. Malorie (our coordinator) was an absolute delight to work with and we don’t know what we would have done without her. She made our vision come to life! The owners and staff were awesome and attentive as well.

    We will spend a lifetime looking back on our special day and will always have the fondest memories of Emerald Ridge Farm!

    Everything we were looking for and more

    The team at Emerald Ridge Farm (ERF) was absolutely awesome throughout contracting, planning, and execution of our wedding. We were looking for a relaxed, intimate setting for our wedding and the No Rush Weekend at ERF checked all the boxes for us. The accommodations at the venue were perfectly homey for the weekend and we felt confident, regardless of weather conditions, the venue had great options for all scenarios for our wedding.

    The venue provides many different features to allow a variety of ceremony, cocktail hours, reception, and photography options that we were able to set up exactly as we desired for our wedding size. Our initial wedding guest count was expected to be 70 but we dropped down to about 35. We had lots of open space (which worked well for our design/vision) but it still felt very cozy with the setup job the team did.

    The team provided exceptional service in finalizing decor/arrangements on the days leading up to our wedding as well as to our guests throughout our entire celebration. We really felt like we were treated as family by the team which made the whole weekend all the more special.

    We also loved that it was highly accessible to Downtown Weaverville and Asheville for our guests to have options of where to stay on their visit to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

    If you're looking for a relaxed, intimate setting, ERF belongs at the top of your list. The landscapes and vistas are gorgeous throughout the day and into the evening. Our guests couldn't stop asking "where'd you find this place?" and the team fully delivered!

    Emerald Ridge is Dedicated to your Perfect Day

    When my husband and I first selected this venue it was the kindness, helpfulness, and professionalism shown by Janice and her team that sold us on this venue. Over the course of a year of planning, Janice was extremely helpful, timely, and proficient with answering all of my questions and guiding me through the process. The service provided was what I believe all brides are hoping to have them on their wedding day. I was treated like an actual princess. Never once did I have to worry or stress and I attribute that almost entirely to the quality service provided by the venue staff. From the moment we arrived on site, each staff member so was happy, sweet, and helpful that many of my family, bridal party, and guests couldn’t help but talk about it for days after. This venue is PHENOMENAL.
    WORTH. EVERY. PENNY.

    Emerald Ridge Farm's reply:

    On my gosh Sarah. This is EXACTLY what we want every couple to feell! Everything about your day was beautiful, meaningful and joyful. We are so happy and thankful you chose and trusted Emerald Ridge Farm.

    Amazing!!!! So lovely!


    I cannot say enough great things about Emerald Ridge farm!
    They were beyond helpful in planning our reception, very responsive and the entire staff is amazing.
    The venue is on a gorgeous farm with amazing Mountain View’s and a wonderful barn to hold the reception.
    Set up went easy and smooth, providing us with tables, table cloths, all silverware, dining plates, chargers, speakers, vases and so much more.
    Staff was there and ready to help us unload our car and get things set up. This made everything easy and stress free as we prepared for guest.
    We got eloped and held a reception to celebrate with family and friends at the barn. Everyone kept mentioning how gorgeous the barn and views were.
    Janice and her family were wonderful and so great to work with. I HIGHLY recommend booking emerald ridge farm for your wedding or other events!

    Emerald Ridge Farm's reply:

    Thank you Celena! We are so happy it was everything you wanted it to be, and we were so honored to be a part of it. Thank you choosing ERF!

    Beautiful venue, wonderful staff!

    Where do I start?! The venue itself was spectacular, beautiful views, amazing space and Janice, Paul and Mason went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. They helped us set up, checked in on us periodically without smothering us and made us feel like family. The weather didn’t exactly cooperate with us but they made the experience for us and our guests wonderful regardless. They brought out heaters and still made the time we had memorable. They engaged with guests and made
    Sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We were sad when we had to leave as we felt they were like family by the time of our departure. They took all precautions to make sure we and our guests were safe and comfortable as well as going above and beyond all expectations. We checked out several venues before this one but as soon as we met Janice, we knew we had found the perfect spot. She really made us feel number one and made sure our visions and dreams came alive. I highly recommend this spot and these people for your special day or any event really. We also chose the weekend package and the house we stayed in was beautiful, well kept and comfortable. You won’t regret going with Emerald Ridge! We want to Have another event just so we can come back!
    Thanks guys! You were amazing.

    Emerald Ridge Farm's reply:

    Thank you Iris! We loved having you both here and look forward to the next time we get to see you again!

    Just book it!

    Hesitant on a venue? Not sure if you want a day or a weekend?
    I’m telling you now - just book the weekend package at Emerald Ridge Farm!
    I cannot rave enough about this place.
    I got married in November 2021, but planned my wedding in only about 6-7 months, and from Raleigh.
    First, the people. From the very beginning, Malorie and Janice were super responsive, kind, and the easiest people to work with. On the virtual tour, Janice took her phone and did a full walk through of the venue while Malorie talked through all of the details and potential. It was so easy to envision our day there, even though we hadn’t even seen it! Malorie was a rockstar logistically and helped everything go so smoothly. Her and Janice had recommendations for everything - from vendors to decor, and it made my job waaaay less stressful.

    Second; the venue itself. BEYOND stunning, pictures really don’t even capture it. I loved being able to wake up there and have coffee while watching the sunrise over the mountains. It was amazing. And having the rehearsal there as well made everything so easy.

    Everyone is still talking about our wedding and how it was the best they’ve ever been to, largely because of the venue itself! I could talk about it all day, but just do yourself a favor and BOOK IT! I’ll forever be grateful that this is where I married the love of my life!

    Emerald Ridge Farm's reply:

    Omg.. Cassandra!!! Thank you so much for this thoughtful, detailed and wonderful review!

    We are joyful beyond measure when we are able to exceed a couple's expectations for their wedding!! Thank you for recognizing the small and big things we strive to achieve in support of every wedding here at Emerald Ridge. We wish you all the best!

    Incredible

    Emerald Ridge Farm is the most beautiful place - from the views to the family owners. Janice, Paul and Mason were wonderful and very kind, responsive and full of positive joy in every moment. The guests kept saying it was the most gorgeous venue they have been to and its true!
    We had the weekend package and it was perfect to be able to stay in one spot from arrival, rehearsal/dinner, getting ready on the big day and a 'late' checkout.
    I highly recommend Emerald Ridge Farm - you will have the wedding of a lifetime.

    Beautiful Views and Wonderful People!

    This venue was beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for. I'm definitely not a "wants to get married in a barn" kind of girl, but was instead looking for a great outdoor view of the mountains. This was the place had the best view that I foundin the area that would also fit my wedding party of potentially varying size. The barn was lovely with white sheers draped and gave it a very elegant feeling. Views aside, what really made this a great place for a wedding were Janice and Paul. They really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. They were kind and super helpful and welcomed us like family. I can't overstate just how lovely they were to us the entire time. Shout out to Stoli the delightful horse for making my white dress on a white horse dreams come true, especially when you consider how patient he was with my English riding skills on a western horse.

    Awesome customizable venue

    I got married at Emerald Ridge in October 2021 and my husband and I couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience. Many guests also commented on how wonderful the venue is. The highlights of ER are the people, the location (natural beauty as well as proximity to AVL), and the incredible amount of added value with not having to use a party rental company. The owners Janice, Mason and Paul are friendly and communicative, as well as being attentive venue hosts the day of making sure all the furniture and other features were where we planned. They ensured the grounds looked great as well. Not having to rent ceremony or reception furniture, party lights, or any dishes or table linens, dance floor, propane heaters, covered tent ceremony backup location already setup, and more, saved on cost as well as logistics. The vintage plates are a beautiful touch as well, pieces of functional decor. We also borrowed vintage decor and furniture such as a beautiful wooden sweetheart table and card/gift and catering tables. The renovated barn is perfect for your reception, being covered but outdoor, guests enjoyed the space and the views (and the swings and fire pit!). Malorie, the planning professional affiliated with the venue is who you want on your team so be sure to book with her. She is thorough, patient, tactful, creative, organized, and a clear direct communicator. Having Malorie as my coordinator significantly reduced stress levels as she helped me navigate all the details large and small that I didn’t consider or had underestimated. She has a talent for event planning, making your priorities for the day her own, and high level of professionalism. On the day of the wedding I was able to enjoy myself worry-free as Malorie seamlessly facilitated the event according to the timeline she helped me create. Thank you to the Emerald Ridge team!!

    Phenomenal Team & Venue

    got married at Emerald Ridge in September 2021; my husband and I had the most magical day thanks to ERF team. We had so many compliments on the venue and the decorations. The scenic views are hands down the best in Asheville area. They had so much available that we didn’t have to use a rental company, which eased some of the stress of planning. The renovated barn was the perfect space for our reception. Malorie, the wedding day coordinator, was phenomenal. She had great ideas for details and brought all of my ideas and dreams to life. The whole team made sure the whole weekend went smoothly. I am so thankful to ERF for creating the most perfect weekend.

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Janice was such a dream to work with. Our wedding/elopement was planned in under a week, and Janice helped us arrange a caterer, flowers and our decorations. The scenery was breathtaking creating some amazing photos. We had a stress free wedding day and everything was perfect. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    Cannot do better!

    This venue was FABULOUS! I don’t think you can do better for a wedding under 200 people if you want an outdoor ceremony with barn reception. They even have a great plan for an outdoor ceremony with great views in inclement weather that we fortunately didn’t have to use. Janice, Paul and Mason are excellent to work with throughout the planning stage and execution. Views are stunning at the ceremony site, cocktail area and reception area. So many extras included. Very reasonable cost, especially considering the option to stay at the farmhouse (which was great!). Military friendly (discount), wonderful staff, I could go on and on. Most venues will nickel and dime you for things you’ll get here free (tables, chairs, vintage china, outdoor games, fire pits ready to go, swings, hammocks, lots of decor, golf cart transportation for guests). So pleased we had my daughter’s wedding here 7/4/21. I don’t think we could have done better and it was the best wedding I’ve ever attended!

    Guest Here

    I was a guest for a wedding in the past here. I love, love, LOVEEEE the open aired barn. The ridges of the mountains were always present in the background. Also, my mom, who is older, needed to be helped a few times that day, and the workers were always there and were so nice and accommodating. 5 stars, would recommend 1000 times over. A true view into North Carolina and some of the best the state and people have to offer

    Go Here...Seriously

    All the other venues in the Asheville area are a joke, except for this place. We went to a wedding here, and the value they provide is insane. They throw in so much stuff FOR FREE that other places charge extra for. I don't want to worry about chairs, or tents, or anything else the day of, and they had us covered. All these extras too for wayyy less than any other place around. The closest place was a all inclusive venue, and they wanted $25,000 grand. ARE YOU CRAZY?! They better include a vaca to the Bahamas with that money. This place pretty much provided all that stuff the expensive venue did, all for $5,000. Save your time, save your headaches, and save your money. JUST GO TO EMERALD RIDGE FARM
