We are so happy we had our wedding at Chestnut Ridge. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff did an amazing job setting up for our wedding day bringing our vision to life- they have a great staff that makes this happen and it is well worth every penny. We wanted a venue that was in the mountains with a special ceremony spot that could be closed off in the event of rain. Chestnut Ridge was the perfect venue for what we were looking for and even includes spaces for the girls and guys to get ready with so many great picture spot options. We highly recommend this venue and their full team! Reviewed on 20-06-2023
Bianca Hodges(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2022 My husband and I knew we wanted to get married somewhere close to home but in the mountains which led us to this beauty. While we had multiple other venue tours setup, this was the first one we had went to and I instantly fell in love. I told him that I didn’t want to get married anywhere else. This venue was absolutely breathtaking; from the views to its modern farmhouse style. We received so many compliments throughout the night about how beautiful our wedding venue was, which was very appreciative. From the beginning of wedding planning Chestnut Ridge was very proactive in communication. Once I got my wedding planner 60 days out ( which was a saving Grace ) , everything ran smoothly for me as she was doing all the behind the scenes things that I didn’t have time for. Emily was the absolute sweetest and I’d 100% have her as my wedding planner again. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone getting married in the area! My wedding day was honestly a dream come true. Reviewed on 29-12-2022
Alexandra Graham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 My husband and I got married here October of 2022 and started planning our wedding the summer of 2021. From the very beginning Taylor and the Chestnut Ridge Team were welcoming, transparent, and so helpful! We were planning our wedding from CO as we are Asheville natives- scheduling calls with vendors and not being in the same state was a challenge, but the CR Team helped in everyway possible and worked around our schedule to ensure everything was moving smoothly throughout our planning process. As a very indecisive bride, they understood my likes and dislikes and helped narrow it down to a vision. Based on that vision they were also able to refer vendors that matched my style perfectly. They answered all the questions and concerns I had throughout the year leading up to the big day and helped keep me level headed when planning was becoming stressful. The day of could not have been more perfect or ran any smoother. These girls are a well oiled machine and have everything down to a science to ensure the day is amazing. The crew set up our ceremony and reception area better than I could have ever imagined with no help from myself- I was able to relax and enjoy getting ready with the girls feeling comfortable the team had it handled- and boy did they ever! I might be biased- but it was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen and I owe it all to the CR Family. I kept waiting for a fire the day of and there never was one! They handled absolutely everything and there is nothing I would change about the day. I could not recommend this venue and the group enough! Reviewed on 31-10-2022
Patrick Letourneau(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-04-2022 Chestnut Ridge is an incredible venue! Absolutely gorgeous up in the mountains. The ceremony space, cocktail space, and reception space are breathtaking. The staff at CR is also incredible as they have great relationships with amazing vendors and make the day run so smoothly. Our planner, Maloree, helped us months in advance to ensure everything was thought out in complete detail. She also made the wedding day run so smoothly as she took care of any issues and ensured everything was taken care of exactly how we wanted (I don’t even know if there were any issues because they were never brought to my attention because she took care of it). I highly recommend this venue and staff to anyone looking in western NC as everything about the day was perfect for my wife, myself, and all of our guests! Reviewed on 13-06-2022

Meredith Merchant(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2021 Five stars are simply not enough. A sky full of stars is more fitting to quantify the perfection that Chestnut Ridge has to offer. Every single aspect of Chestnut Ridge is what wedding dreams are made of. From the breathtaking surrounding mountain scenery, to the absolutely stunning venue itself, and last but certainly not least, the wonderful people behind the scenes working countless hours to make their couples’ wedding dreams a reality. We knew from the moment that we discovered Chestnut Ridge online and then toured in person, that it would be the place where we would start our journey together as husband and wife. From start to finish, and every single day of the 999 days in between, the CR team was nothing short of amazing. Taylor, the owner & creator of CR and all that it stands for, went above and beyond on more occasions than I can count. From carving out time in her busy schedule to have an hour+ long conversation with my now husband and I as we made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding day, to being present from beginning to end on our wedding day to not only make sure our bridal party was comfortable, but to also to help finalize ceremony design details and to help clean up at the end of the night. She literally does it all, and every single effort that she made, big or small, to make our wedding journey perfect, did not go unnoticed. Maloree, our go-to-girl of CR planning, was truly one of a kind and was certainly more than we could have ever wished for. Her positive personality is infectious and made a difficult wedding planning journey (thanks COVID) as easy as could be given the circumstances. Her open communication and her attention to every single detail exceeded all of our expectations and were the reason our wedding vision became a reality. Maddy, the lead CR bar babe, was beyond responsive to our bar inquiries. Her expertise helped us curate the perfect drink selection & made sure our guests glasses were never empty on our wedding day. Our guests could not compliment Chestnut Ridge enough, and clearly, I could go on and on forever about this dreamy venue and the wonderful people who make it all happen. If I could relive my wedding day a million times over, I would, and it is all thanks to this one-of-a-kind venue & staff. Reviewed on 19-11-2021

She made it easy for my mom and I to commit to this wedding venue!When we set our date for December of 2020, little did we know we were going to be faced with a National pandemic I would be known as a “covid bride”. Taylor the owner of Chestnut did an amazing job of keeping up with the CDC guidelines and making sure that al of the CR brides were well informed of any changes that may impact our special day. I will never forget the day after thanksgiving on Black Friday Brandon and I had a very long time phone call with Taylor and our wedding planner Maloree one hat we should do about our wedding that was coming up with CoVid numbers increasing. They were honest with us and helped us make a decision that turned out to be the best decision for all.

Nestled up right outside of Asheville, NC - we found our DREAM wedding venue. There was not one detail that went unnoticed when crafting CR. When working with Taylor and the Chestnut Ridge family, our wedding day vision became a reality!The very first time we had seen the venue - it was pouring down rain. Even with the less than ideal weather, we fell in love! We knew in that moment that if we loved the venue this much on a rainy day, that a warm fall day would be out of this world. We loved the fact that the girls were spoiled in the Bridal Suite, that allowed us to have our own BEAUTIFUL space to relax and get ready in, while the boys enjoyed the Groom's Den after they participated in Shoot Skeeting on site that morning. The ceremony pavilion gives the feel of a chapel with the gorgeous pews, and is so simple, yet elegantly crafted. The cocktail hour and back patio are perfect spots for guests to enjoy throughout the day, and the reception area is STUNNING! We loved that we got to bring our family (from Pittsburgh, PA) to our new home in NC. It became a \"destination\" wedding - if you will. Chestnut Ridge allowed us to bring everyone together, and keep us in one place for the entire event, which was a huge plus for us! From the moment we arrived at Chestnut Ridge to the time we hit the buses to head home after our sendoff, the day was flawless. The entire staff, including Maloree (huge shout out!) went above and beyond to ensure every single person in the wedding party and family were well taken care of.

Jennifer Gaudreault(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-08-2019 Chestnut Ridge is a beautiful venue, unfortunately that is it. You are paying for the barn, tables and chairs. It was brought to my attention from a guest at the wedding there were some dirty chairs which was very disappointing to us. What you’re not getting with this venue is any sort of communication. We booked with Chestnut Ridge in June of 2018, after booking there were many changes which were not communicated to us. These included no longer offering fireworks to more than 1 bride a month. We were very disappointing to learn this as we were looking forward to the traditional fireworks, instead we were able to use the fountain fireworks. The fountain fireworks were also beautiful but not what we had originally hoped for. After booking the venue, they had sent us home with recommendations for vendors which we choose including our rental company. We had signed a contract and put a deposit down for us to learn at our 60 day walk through from our planner that Taylor now charges a fee to use that company. This caused a bunch of stress and was not fixed until 10 days before our wedding day when she did waive the fee for using the company. But through all the back and forth we still ended up with two rental companies and paying two delivery fees. We were extremely disappointed about the fireworks as it was one of the reasons we choose the venue. During our 6 month walk through we were brought on a tour since that’s what they thought we were there for. Our families flew into town for our Chestnut Ridge employee not to even know we were booked already. Wedding day I did not receive any hello from the owner Taylor but instead asked about a check. Ironic since it took her well over the contracted 5 days for her to return our security deposit. On wedding day there was another bride’s tour/walk through/rehearsal, I can’t be sure what but it took away from us feeling like it was our special day.The lack of communication we experienced cause a lot of stress in planning our wedding day.

Taylor and Preston’s warm hearts and hospitality, Caroline McCrory and Mingle’s immaculate and personal planning, and all of the extremely elite handpicked teams of vendors are truly second to none. I can’t even count the number of people who just kept going on and on and about how the whole day/evening simply took their breath away. This is THE choice if you are looking for an elegant mountain wedding and we highly recommend the all inclusive plan. It was the best day of our lives. Chestnut Ridge and their whole team are certainly now a part of OUR family for life. Reviewed on 16-11-2018

Kalie Peyton(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2018 I first saw this place when it was still under construction and fell in LOVE. Imagine how I felt when it was complete!!

Meredith DuBose(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-07-2018 Chestnut Ridge is like a dream! I always wanted to get married in a white chapel and didn't want to have to worry about the weather. So, this was the perfect location. I love the outdoor and indoor accommodations this venue offers. All of my guests commented on the beauty of the property! Taylor and the entire staff were very helpful, kind, and accommodating. I knew I wanted to get married there the first time I saw it. My wedding day was perfect. It was beautiful and sunny all day, and when the rain came later that night we were able to move the DJ inside and keep the party going without skipping a beat.

Michael Fowler(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2019 We had the best wedding day ever! Taylor, Preston and their team at Chestnut Ridge were so accommodating and helpful, and they have put together an amazing venue for a turn key wedding. You want it, they got it or can help you find it. The venue itself is perfect, I know there are tons of spaces out there and they are probably all very nice, but we can't imagine a better set up. We loved our separate places to get ready, we even had some weather but it didn't bother us at all because of how well planned out the space is. Our guests came up to us all night and commented how amazing our wedding was and \"how did you find this place?!?!?!\". Perfect day and we couldn't be happier. Reviewed on 02-07-2018
Alyssa Windham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2018 Chestnut Ridge is breathtaking and it was the perfect place for our destination wedding. Despite being from Nashville and being so far way, communication was a breeze. I never once felt disconnected or confused. Taylor was always so supportive and helpful. Our wedding day would not have been the same without the breathtaking view and the wonderful people. Reviewed on 26-06-2018
Kendall Boyd(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-06-2018 Chestnut Ridge is a dream y’all. I have followed their work from the day they broke ground and always said that it would be the place I would get married in, and it was. This venue was something I would not compromise on. Taylor and her team are easy to work with, always answer questions, and make a destination wedding easy. Her list of preferred vendors (we used them all) made choosing so easy for us. Taylor’s attention to detail, care for her brides, and southern charm make this venue a dream come true. During and since the wedding people cannot stop talking about the venue, it’s view and it’s style. Reviewed on 14-06-2018
Leilani Doi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-04-2018 There are not enough words to accurately describe how thankful we are to the Gregg’s and the incredible Chestnut Ridge staff for helping to make our wedding day the best day ever! Taylor was a breeze to work with and communication was never a problem. We toured the property while still under construction and just knew it was the perfect place to say “I do!” Although it was cold and rainy on the wedding day, our guests stayed warm and dry. CR was beautiful and perfect for us in every way! Reviewed on 31-05-2018
Kimberly McEvoy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-05-2018 We got married at Chestnut Ridge in May of 2018. Could not have imagined a more amazing wedding venue! We initially met at Chestnut Ridge prior to the facility being built and knew at that moment that Taylor and Preston had a great vision for the venue. The venue ended up as everything AND MORE that we had spoke about at that meeting! Taylor always responded immediately if I had any questions along the planning process. While we did not do the all inclusive package - we did use many of the recommended vendors which all were amazing! There was not a detail that Chestnut Ridge missed on our wedding day OR with building the venue. My mother in law and sister in law surprised us with the fireworks package which was BEAUTIFUL detail to have as well - definitely recommend that add on. Reviewed on 22-05-2018

They have left no stone unturned, and provide brides and grooms with the most lavish wedding possibilities. There is no denying the beauty of CR. The chapel, the reception hall, the grounds, and the patios all provide the perfect photo opportunities, and the most gorgeous sites for guests. Taylor took care to answer the millions of questions I had, and me feel like I was perfectly at home on my wedding day. I couldn't think of a more beautiful place to say \"I do\" and more spectacular people to work with to make it all happen! Reviewed on 20-05-2018
Leah Dunham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-11-2017 Chestnut Ridge was beyond anything we could have imagined for our wedding. The facilities are beautiful, the staff is incredible, and the hospitality is top notch. Taylor and Preston did an amazing job with making sure this venue was perfect. We signed our contract for the venue 8 months before the venue was completed and at the time it was only just the beginning of construction. I was a little hesitant at first but they were so great to work with and we trusted their vision. Chestnut Ridge turned out to be more amazing than I had ever imagined and if we could do our wedding 100 times over I would choose Chestnut ridge every time. Thank you Taylor and the rest of the staff for making sure our wedding was a dream come true! Reviewed on 18-12-2017

On the same farm that now is home to Chestnt Ridge, Taylor and Preston were married on the rolling heals of the mountainside in August of 2011. When their dreams far surpassed their wildest expectations, they always knew that one day they'd help others happily-ever-after come true for years and years. What started on a scratch sheet of paper 5 years ago is now coming to life, and the owners of Chestnut Ridge couldn't be more excited to share it with you.
