The Vineyard at High Holly Reviews

Jacob and I got married at High Holly on April 12th, 2025. I want to first start by saying the venue is beyond beautiful and accommodates perfectly for a weekend-long wedding celebration. Lesley went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was planned flawlessly. Michelle, the chef, made both rehearsal and reception dinners DELICIOUS! Our timeline flowed perfectly throughout the day, and not once did we feel rushed. We HIGHLY recommend The Vineyard at High Holly for any event, especially weddings! Can't wait to go back an enjoy a glass of wine overlooking the vineyard.

Lesley and the Vineyard at High Holly was the dream location for our wedding! We knew it the second we first stepped on the property for a tour. The location itself is stunning, hidden away in the mountains of North Carolina, but what Lesley and the team have done with the venue takes it to another level! All the cottages and houses are beautiful and clean, and the vineyard and pavilion are picturesque. In fact, it was so stunning, that we only used minimal decorations. The high ceilings in the pavilion, the flowers and the vineyard view, all stand on their own. The best part was the ideal backup plan in the case of rain. I didn't have to worry that we wouldn't get beautiful views if the weather didn't hold.

Lesley was also our day-of coordinator and made sure everything went seamlessly. When the inevitable little bumps in the road occurred, she jumped on it and provided multiple solutions. She made it an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Her staff and the chef, Michelle, were incredible, and all my guests raved about the food – I definitely recommend booking the Vineyard team for day-of coordination, catering, and staffing.

The Vineyard at High Holly was everything we could of hoped for and will forever be intertwined with our love story. The professionalism, passion, and kindness of Lesley and her team are second to none, and I can't thank them enough.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Lesley and Eric and the entire wedding experience at The Vineyard at High Holly! When I tell you they will go to any length to make your day exactly what you want it to be, I mean ANY LENGTH. Lesley made sure every detail was perfect and we felt so secure knowing that she wasn't going to let any of the details fall through the cracks. They really had our backs. On top of the wonderful people, the vineyard itself is just the most picture perfect place for a wedding. Having our friends and family be able to stay on the property with us was both a major convenience and just plain fun. Even though the weather was cold and rainy on our wedding day, it was blissfully romantic. All the lodging is beautifully stylish and cozy at the same time, and I love that unlike so many other venues, we'll be able to go back over and over to stay at the vineyard in the future. If you want an unforgettable wedding experience, this is the place for you!!

Where do I even begin? When my husband and I were looking at venues a little over a year ago, we were feeling a little hopeless. Nothing felt quite right. That feeling was stripped away when we saw The Vineyard at High Holly. We left our tour giggly about the fact that we both fell in love with the property and knew we had to get married there.

The cottages each have great personality, and make accommodations easy for family and wedding party members. Golf cart use makes getting around easy, even for people who may have mobility challenges. The ceremony space is absolutely beautiful. There are plenty of fire pits and gathering spots sprinkled across the property for people to get together.

The pavilion has gorgeous views of the property and can be opened up to let in a breeze, or closed to keep out any rain. This reception space has a good sized commercial kitchen in it, making it a breeze to cater. Access to the refrigerators means it is easy to keep perishables and beverages cool the whole weekend.

About 10 months after signing a venue contract, the property had new ownership. We were so nervous… Would this mean we would have to change venues? What would the new owners be like?

My husband and I left our meeting with the new owners, Lesley and Eric, relieved and even more excited about the venue. They had been all hands on deck, working to make an already beautiful property look even more like heaven. It was important to us that our wedding weekend felt like a vacation getaway for our guests staying on-site, and for ourselves. On our last day at the vineyard, my husband and I didn’t want to leave after experiencing such a hospitable stay on this beautiful property. The owners are truly great people and extremely professional and passionate about making the vineyard the perfect space for events/vacations.

Amidst some planning troubles, Lesley stepped up and worked personally with me to ensure we had everything ready to go with each vendor. She and Eric truly went above and beyond in helping plan our wedding weekend, and in actively working behind the scenes on our wedding day. Lesley’s communication skills are impeccable, which makes a huge impact when planning a wedding. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her hospitality made the experience so calming and even fun.

My husband and I will absolutely be coming back to the vineyard for small getaways and to celebrate our anniversary next year. Lesley and Eric, we can’t thank you enough for everything and are looking forward to seeing you again soon! ❤️

I can't say enough wonderful things about The Vineyard at High Holly and the amazing owners, Leslie and Eric. My wedding was truly perfect, despite the unexpected arrival of Hurricane Helene! From the very beginning, Leslie and Eric went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, even as the storm approached. They made adjustments on the fly, ensuring that all of my guests were safe and comfortable while still creating the dream wedding I had envisioned.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that made our ceremony unforgettable. The attention to detail, the warmth, and the hospitality were unparalleled. Leslie and Eric's dedication to their couples shines through in everything they do — they really treated us like family. Even in the face of a hurricane, they managed to keep the atmosphere calm and joyful, and their support made all the difference.

If you're looking for a venue with a personal touch, stunning scenery, and hosts who truly care about your big day, I can’t recommend The Vineyard at High Holly enough. Leslie and Eric made my wedding day feel magical, no matter what the weather threw our way!

We had our wedding weekend at the Vineyard and it was everything we dreamed of. It was so special to have some our whole bridal party and family onsite with us and it felt like "camp" for grown ups, but with 5 star accommodations. There are so many spots on the vineyard to host your different events and the pictures you'll get are second to none. Lesley was super generous with her time during the planning phases (and even let us a few times to look around and get measurements), and lent several items (the bar, decor) without charging for rental- SO rare and SO appreciated. All of our friends loved the venue and even want to have their weddings there now!

I will start by saying I would choose The Vineyard at 37 High Holly over and over again! My husband and I got married November 7, 2020. Leading up to the Wedding was when everything shut down due to COVID. Rachel at the Vineyard was MORE than helpful through everything. I'm sure I was overwhelming at times but she kept us updated on current restrictions and what she anticipated happening by our Wedding Day. The Day of everything was absolutely beautiful and ran seamlessly. Our guests still talk about how beautiful the Vineyard was to this day. I would highly recommend The Vineyard at 37 High Holly for your special day. My husband and I were extremely happy with our choice of venue. It was absolutely beautiful and Rachel was amazing to work with!

A year and a half ago my son and daughter-in-law had a picture-perfect wedding at The Vineyard! This venue is beautiful and so inviting for any type of wedding! Ours was a smaller wedding, but they can accommodate much larger ones. The ceremony took place down the hill looking at the vineyard, but the wonderful staff had a golf cart for the older guests that couldn’t walk up and down the hill. In the event of rain, the staff had a Plan B. The bride and her party used an adorable cottage for dressing, while down the road there was an awesome barn for the groom and his groomsmen. The reception pavilion is so tastefully decorated, there isn’t the need for a lot of extra. It has a bar and full kitchen making it easy for caterers and the floor of the pavilion is perfect for dancing the night away! All the buildings overlook the gorgeous vineyard and the charming pond with the waterfall. This setting allows for the most elegant photos and videos to relive the special day! The Vineyard allowed my daughter-in-law to have the wedding she dreamed about!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous! It was simply perfect! Beautiful vineyards for the backdrop during the ceremony and a large pavilion with bar & kitchen for the reception!

Our wedding was September 8th, 2018 and the vineyard looked gorgeous. Every guest was in love with the venue and all of the flowers were blooming. We saved a lot of cost using the vineyard because it is BYOB and they was definitely the reason we chose the vineyard. The day of the wedding, and probably every day of the year, they have an amazing staff there making sure the venue looks perfect. There is a man that was able to drive any of the individuals with disabilities down to the ceremony area on his golf cart so they would not have to walk down the stairs. Our experience here was amazing.

Our wedding at the vineyard was incredible and perfect beyond our dreams! The ceremony location down on the hill has your guests looking up over the amazing vineyards. Even on a chilly night we stayed warm in the open pavilion as everyone danced the night away! The owners even brought out space heaters since we didn’t know it was going to be so chilly. The house that the bridal party got ready in was perfect and the decor of the house was soooooo cute! The barn for the guys was also perfect for them! The venue was really easy to work with and plan things with even from out of state. Looking back on our wedding, our only regret was that we can’t do it all over again!!
