D. Baum Sent on 02/28/2020Wedding 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!! -

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. -

Words alone cannot fully capture how beautiful and special the Barn at Valhalla is for a wedding celebration. When considering locations to get married, the Barn at Valhalla was at the top of our “dream venue” list due to the stunning location, the convenient weekend rental option, and proximity to a town near and dear to our hearts while still feeling secluded from the hustle and bustle of UNC. It was important to us to hold our wedding celebrations somewhere where our loved ones could gather, stay, and relax for the weekend without having to travel to and from a hotel. Having the venue from 8:00am Friday to noon on Sunday meant that we had plenty of time to scope out ceremony and reception options and fully soak in the beauty of the venue. Our guests were BLOWN AWAY by how gorgeous the venue is - I’m pretty sure “magical” is the top word I heard throughout the weekend to describe it. Having flexibility in selecting vendors and having endless options for where to hold each part of the wedding celebration brought a creativity and fun to planning that I’m positive we wouldn’t have experienced anywhere else. Marguerite and her team were friendly, responsive, and so helpful when snafus popped up during the wedding weekend. I’ll forever be grateful for Marguerite’s kindness when we had to postpone our wedding a full year due to COVID and for how easy and painless the rescheduling process was. Marguerite’s day-of coordination services made executing our “vision” a breeze, and knowing we were in good hands on our wedding day helped us relax and be in the moment. The Barn at Valhalla is a one-of-a-kind venue that allowed us to create a magical and unforgettable wedding, and we are so thankful to have made lifelong memories there! -

The Barn at Valhalla was our top pick for venue and with their option to get married on a weekday for a lower price, we were able to afford the venue of our dreams! The flexibility and expansiveness of the venue meant that we had TONS of options for rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception spaces, picture opportunities, sleeping accommodations, getting ready rooms, you name it! Having the venue from 8am the day before the wedding up until noon the day after also meant we had plenty of time to set up and take everything down before and after, and all our friends were able to stay at the venue in their gorgeous bedrooms. There is even a game room with ping pong tables, a mini putting green, a poker table, foosball, etc. that kept our guests (and groomsmen!) entertained. We had a hot tub in our honeymoon suite and the Lodge has dorm-style (but way nicer) bathrooms so everyone can shower and get ready at the same time. Once we checked in, we were basically left alone unless we had any questions, so we had a lot of privacy but could also rely on venue staff to set up and move the tables as we liked to prepare for the big day. The venue had basically EVERYTHING we could ever need except an ice-maker which was an easy fix. I wish we could've stayed for a whole week to make full use of the amenities and to enjoy the grounds because they were so beautiful! If you're looking for a huge venue with lots of sleeping space and gorgeous views that you can enjoy for three days, look no further! -

Kacie Sent on 11/13/2021Truly 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 was a guest for my Aunt's wedding at this venue last May. Coming from the city of Chicago, this venue was breathtaking. It is nothing from what I'm used to seeing. The deck gives a romantic feel as the trees and music surrounded us. We ate our meal inside the barn, and the decorations were set up beautifully. There was plenty of space to do our makeup and get ready as well (above the barn). I enjoyed being in a rustic venue and 100% recommend couples to choose The Barn at Valhalla!The Barn at Valhalla's reply:
Karen,
Thank you for traveling all that way to attend a wedding at our venue! I am so happy that you had such a nice time! Also, thank you for taking the time to write this review about your experience!! XOXO Marguerite -

Terry W. Sent on 10/30/2019October 2019 wedding
My son and daughter-in-law had a beautiful wedding weekend at the Barn at Valhalla in October 2019. The facilities gave us many great options for rehearsal dinner, reception, lodging for the wedding party and the ceremony. The weather cooperated for an outdoor ceremony, but the facilities would have supported an indoor rain option. The staff was very professional and anticipated our every need. I highly recommend.The Barn at Valhalla's reply:
Terry,
You all were an absolute joy to work with! Thank you for choosing The Barn at Valhalla and for writing this great review! Marguerite -

Katie C. Sent on 10/30/2019My dad got remarried here :)
The Barn at Valhalla was the perfect place because its not like any other venue. My dads wedding was not about the decor (even though it was amazing). It wasn't about the food (even though it was also amazing). It wasn't about the dresses or the shoes or the photos...It was really just about the people. We had family and friends come in from as far as Asia and as close as Chapel Hill. At the end of the day it was just about us coming together. So it was really important that we had the perfect place. Our friends and family were able to stay at the barn for the entirety of their trip. From the rehearsal dinner to the after party we were all at the barn. The entire venue became our home and our place for the weekend. We were on over 30 acres of land all by ourselves. It was serene and woodsy. The Barn is not an easy place to capture through words alone. The Barn is the type of intimate, romantic experience not many can say they have had. I recommend the Barn if you are looking for the a place to create unique experiences for you and your family. In summary, the Barn was a dream come true for our family.The Barn at Valhalla's reply:
Katie,
I am so happy to hear you had such a nice time! We love to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review. We really appreciate it! Marguerite -

Laura M. Sent on 10/30/2019Dream weekend
We are so happy we chose the Barn at Valhalla. Marguerite was easy to work with and great about quickly responding to emails. We visited the site 3 times over the course of our planning, and each time, everyone there was hard at work painting and repairing to make sure the property was in top condition. You could tell the owners are really proud of that place.
We rented for the whole weekend, which meant we had run of the place and were able to host our wedding party in the ample guest rooms so they didn't have to buy hotel rooms, and we could have the rehersal, ceremony and reception on site instead of having to book different locations. Wedding venues are expensive, but we felt we really got the maximum use out of this place.
It was absolutely beautiful, and we wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else.The Barn at Valhalla's reply:
Laura,
These pictures are epic! I loved seeing you in your dreamy dress with your sparkly boots!! Perfect! Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review and for seeing the pride we take in taking care of our venue. It is truly our goal to make every wedding day as perfect as it can be!

We feel so lucky to have found Marguerite and her team at the Barn. The venue is off the charts gorgeous, the accommodations are amazing, and the staff is beyond incredible. If you can find a slot that's free, don't hesitate to grab it. This place is special and anyone who decides to celebrate anything here won't regret it. We feel privileged to have been able to have our wedding here. Unforgettable and just an overall epic experience! THANK YOU!The Barn at Valhalla's reply:

We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding. Everything was beautiful and there was even space for the entire bridal party to spend the weekend with us. The owners are friendly and answered any and all questions in a timely manner. We strongly recommend this venue. -

Amazing Memories!
This venue is absolutely amazing. We chose the 3 day stay, from Monday to Wednesday, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Staying on the property made the entire wedding experience what it was. Myself and my guests created the most amazing memories in those few days! Between the man cave and the late night s'mores by the outdoor fireplace, my guests were thoroughly entertained and we got tons of positive feedback from them. I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to stay there! There are endless options as far as places to hold the ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, etc., and because of that, you are truly able to create a unique experience tailored to you and your wedding vision. The property owners are great to work with. Very responsive and helpful! The venue also provides so much...if you need it, they probably have it. This was very helpful when staying overnight at the venue. Choosing this venue was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! -

Jamie Sent on 03/31/2019We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue!
I cannot recommend this venue enough. One week ago, I married the love of my life; not only was the setting perfect, but the people who we worked with were so amazing and helped everything flow seamlessly. The entire process, from reserving our date to helping on the actual wedding day, was easy and they were always helpful. They answered all of our questions, even the ones that were last minute, every step of the way. I cannot thank you all enough for everything!The Barn at Valhalla's reply:
Hey Jamie,
You could not be sweeter! And your all orchid bouquet are wedding dreams come true!! Thank you for choosing us for your day of coordination. We strive to make each wedding day perfect and are so happy that you were pleased. We love you all and wish you all the happiness in the world. Come see us soon! XOXO Marguerite -

It was so great! The venue is beautiful, the space is a wonderful size and it was perfect for the rehearsal dinner! It really was the best bang for your buck because of how much you get!! I loved it and so did our guests. I'm also the lucky one who woke up the day after my wedding to 7 inches of snow and it was EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL covered in snow! You can't go wrong with the Barn At Valhalla!The Barn at Valhalla's reply:
Michelle,
Those snowy photos are epic! I mean come on!! Thanks for choosing The Barn at Valhalla and for taking the time to write a review. XOXO Marguerite -
