Taylor was awesome! He patiently waited for my daughter to be ready to walk down the aisle. In the thunderstorm that was going on, he was a voice of calm. He added special touches to the vows and made it personal to the couple. I highly recommend this vendor for all wedding needs! Reviewed on 16-08-2023

Due to some misunderstanding we were without an officiant last minute! So immediately I called the first place that popped up in my search but they were fully booked so they referred me to Appalachian Wedding and thankfully, Taylor Caldwell an officiant from Appalachian Wedding Company told us he could work us in the next day and marry us and it was on a Saturday afternoon ! How amazing is that? We thought we would have to reschedule everything for another day, so he was a life saver!! Our small intimate wedding turned out amazing and Taylor was very professional, timely, and really cared about making the day special for us! Thank you Appalachian Wedding Company for saving the day and making our day amazing we are forever grateful! We will always recommend your company! Reviewed on 25-05-2023
Samantha Humphries(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-04-2023 I purchased the Mountain View’s package. Absolutely breathtaking scenery perfect for photos! There was more than enough space for all my guests (around 80). I can’t say enough good things about this venue! Extremely professional and kind! When I say they will do everything within their power to make your wedding special, that’s no exaggeration! I asked if I could allow my cat to be the ring bearer, and they had no issues whatsoever. I asked if I could change the decorations closer to the ceremony than I should have. They didn’t even bat an eye! My cake company forgot the order and didn’t deliver. Taylor personally ran to the nearest available place and purchased our cake for the guests! Sarah saw me too nervous to talk to people before the ceremony and gently and kindly led them away assigning tasks to give me space! I had special gifts to give my groom and his family. Tosca, the photographer, caught the exact moment they opened them for a beautiful photo. We explained both of us are shy and nervous about standing in front of all those people. Taylor was able to deliver a beautifully crafted speech specifically to us and our relationship while still keeping the time down to respect our nervousness. I highly recommend them! If you hire this company, I you won’t regret it! Reviewed on 03-05-2023

Jessica Velez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-12-2022 We reached out to Taylor with Appalachian Wedding Company on the recommendation of another wedding venue which couldn't accommodate our potential guests (up to 20).

He also took care of our guests while we were taking pictures with the awesome photographer. We had fun and we have the gorgeous photos and memories to prove it.

He was very quick to respond and super flexible with our spontaneous and last minute needs. He was kind, professional and very pleasing to work with. He made us feel very comfortable and and our small and intimate elopement turned out so beautifully. I wish I could relive the day over and over.

Nakota Neville(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-05-2022 We had been planning our wedding for months when some unforeseen circumstances arrived on our doorstep. Without goin into detail, we were no longer able to afford the dream wedding we had been planning. Worry and panic set in. Spent a lot of sleepless nights talking to the man upstairs. That worry and panic was fleeting as soon as Taylor entered our lives. He was an angel and helped us recreate alot of the things we could no longer afford on a cheaper budget. I highly recommend this company and ask for Taylor. Reviewed on 20-05-2022
