If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! They were beyond phenomenal. From the moment we initially looked at the venue to even after the ceremony, Malorie and all of the employees have gone above and beyond to ensure that our special day was everything and more. I never once stressed about any of the details because I knew they would be handled. We highly recommend the no-rush weekend if able. We were able to check in the day before our wedding and leave the day after to ensure that we were relaxed and comfortable. The views of the mountains during peak fall colors were breathtaking and only added to the magic. Would definitely get married here again!! Reviewed on 30-10-2023

Emerald Ridge and its wonderful staff ensured our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Every single space on this property is beautiful and the built in contingency spaces in the case of rain eased any concerns we had about our special day. I really can't say enough about this venue and it's staff. Janice, Paul, and Mason are lovely and made any necessary paperwork a breeze to get through. They're communication is so on point, I never once felt stressed about planning or making payments. Once they lead us through everything Emerald Ridge had to offer, we would have been crazy not to select it as our wedding venue with the no rush weekend package! As an exceptionally busy couple, we truly appreciated their flexibility and experience as a well established wedding venue. We chose to add on full wedding planner services with Malorie for our big day. Malorie is an absolute joy to work with and set up regular meetings with us virtually since we did not live in Asheville. She is very well organized and makes all the decisions leading up to your wedding day a breeze. She made wonderful suggestions for vendors and sent reminders to keep us on track. If you're on the fence about getting a wedding planner, I can promise you that hiring Malorie is well worth it. A wedding can be stressful to plan at times but I can honestly say that having Malorie there through the planning process and on the day of helped us have a stress-free day where everything went so smoothly I almost couldn't believe it. The venue itself offers almost everything you could need or want to create a beautiful wedding event, from the gorgeous scenery to tables and decorations. It was amazing to not have to worry about renting anything additional for our sepcial day. We got so many complements from guests about how beautiful and unique Emerald Ridge was and that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had been to. Finally, Paul, Mason and the other staff were there with us every step of the way to ensure everything was ready for our events and it was all arranged exactly as we wanted. They were exceptionally communicative and listened to what we wanted and made it happen. We are so happy that we chose Emerald Ridge for our wedding day and we hope to schedule another event with them in the future for other celebrations and anniversaries! Reviewed on 22-07-2023
This is the most incredible venue!!! The Emerald Ridge team are some of the most spectacular folks I've ever met! I could gush for hours about how awesome this place is! I can't say enough great things about Janice, Paul, and Mason. And they have the absolute BEST wedding coordinator Malorie! Our whole wedding weekend was a dream and we couldn't have done it without the support of the folks at Emerald Ridge. We found ERF on the knot and reached out. From the moment we started corresponding it felt like there was a personal touch. We were delighted on our tour to see the vintage china, ceremony location, the built in rain tent, and the chairs and tables that were included in the weekend package.

Paul and Mason were amazing during our whole wedding weekend. Anything we needed they were there as a great resource to our vendors.

Aaron Lee(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 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.

Sarah S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2021 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 prices have increased from 2021 to 2022 but I still believe it to be a great value!). 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!!

This was the ONLY venue we looked at and within 5 mins of our tour we made up our minds. We were over the moon about the help from the staff, services offered, beautiful scenery and decor, and the kindness of the owners who helped us organize everything. If you want a simple yet fairytale wedding look NO further. The location is stunning and not hard to get to. And the mountains/trees serve as your background you hardly need decorations. They have an entire room filled with dishes, glassware, tablecloths and runners, vases and votives, literally everything you'd spend hundreds of dollars on for your wedding but available to you at no cost.

Sydney Moore(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2021 So...I was a guest at a wedding here not too long ago. I have to say, that I am blown away by Emerald Ridge Farm. This venue and their staff are incredible. Here is why: I was a part of the wedding party where the couple was...particular. The venue made clear that they help set up all the \"heavy stuff\" (chairs, tables, big decor) and do not do small things like flowers, placement setting, etc (which is usually where a planner or coordinator comes in. Pretty Standard). The Groom dropped the ball for his soon to be bride, because instead of him decorating for the rehearsal dinner (like he promised to his bride) he instead hung out with his friends and was extremely \"hydrated\" by the time the rehearsal came around. Despite this, the venue and their staff saved they day, and decorated for him, DESPITE the fact that they weren't suppose to do that. Already, most other venues that I have been to in the past do not help nearly that much, much less having people that capable being onsite (other venues I have been to, when I ask them where something is, have said \"I dont know\"). Not convinced yet? Well they next day, the couple also forgot to mention an additional 30 EXTRA PEOPLE that were coming for the ceremony and reception dinner. In a flash, the venue and their staff got out extra chairs and tables for their guests. I have never seen staff members literally sprinting to try and provide that good of a service.Point is, besides lack of planning from their clients, this venue went ABOVE & BEYOND what they were suppose to do. I never write reviews for anywhere, however, this was the first time I have been at awe in terms of the supreme quality of service, thinking ahead, planning, and responsiveness of a business. I can say without a doubt, that ERF is one of, if not the best, wedding venue in the Asheville area in all the categories I just spoke of. Do yourself a favor, make your life easy, and book here. Would rate 10 out of 10 Stars if possible Reviewed on 05-09-2021

Breathtaking scenery, even if you have inclement weather (we didn’t, but the plan was there). Fabulous cocktail space around the deck, wonderful barn space for a reception, and so many extras included (fire pits at the cocktail space and at the barn, swings and hammocks, use of LOTS of decor items included, etc). Janice, Paul and Mason are wonderful to work with and they go out of their way to help you plan and execute.

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.

Malorie Morrill(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2020 While planning a wedding was one of the most exciting things my husband and I have done together, it was also overwhelmingly emotional. We wanted it to be a perfect reflection of us and our relationship, with as little planning stress as possible. After multiple tours and venue searches, we feel incredibly lucky to have found Emerald Ridge Farm. Aside from the love between us and the family beside us, the team at Emerald Ridge was the next most influential factor in ensuring that our wedding weekend was everything we hoped it would be.Our priorities in selecting a venue were: finding a place we could enjoy for more than just one day, working with an involved and supportive staff, and being able to highlight the beauty of our home in North Carolina for our out-of-state guests. Emerald Ridge Farm had all of these qualities and more. They far exceeded our expectations in their planning and preparations for our special day. We know they were in the midst of caring and planning for other couples, but they made us feel like we were the only wedding on their minds. Their attention to detail, problem-solving, and positivity provided us with the sense of calm we craved throughout wedding planning, especially in 2020. On-site housing allowed us to have more precious time with our loved ones who were visiting. Multiple sites for our ceremony and reception (field, patio, deck, barn) allowed us to have stress-free back-up plans, which we were so grateful for when it poured rain the night and day leading up to our wedding. Shuttling from the parking area by the barn to the house for our rehearsal dinner and our ceremony was invaluable for our guests with mobility challenges, and due to uncertain weather conditions. The Emerald Ridge team was so present and attentive throughout the weekend that our guests and vendors are still commenting on their support, weeks after the wedding. While my husband and I were busy enjoying the reception, Paul noticed two of our seven-year-old guests were getting antsy waiting for cake-cutting. He offered to get them set up playing cornhole while they waited. During the planning stages, Janice was available by phone and in-person visit to problem-solve the newest pandemic-related change of plans. She met with our vendors in advance of the wedding to ensure seamless service on our wedding day. During the reception, she was able to snap photos of some of our more candid moments, for which we will be forever grateful. Throughout the planning process and weekend setup, Mason patiently ensured that we had everything we needed and frequently checked-in to make sure we were happy with how everything was going. As I am someone who likes to play an active role in planning, I was so grateful for his patience in allowing me to try out different seating and decor arrangements, move things around, and take my time to make a decision. In addition to maintaining a beautiful physical space, Janice, Paul, and Mason have perfectly curated an environment in which we were able to make beautiful, lasting memories. Wedding planning during a pandemic brought with it more challenges than anticipated, but the Emerald Ridge team worked diligently to ensure that every question had an answer and that every problem had a solution. While the Asheville area boasts many choices for venues with beautiful scenery, we are convinced there are none which can provide such a beautiful experience as Emerald Ridge Farm.

Conner Magoun(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-07-2020 We decided to check out this charming mountain house to preview it for our wedding weekend. Little did we know the mountains of the Carolina’s are magical! We stayed 2 nights to really get a feel for the venue. Firstly, the grounds are very well kept. We were expecting a normal mountain house, but the property was so well groomed. It looked beautiful next to the pastures. The views from the deck and front patio were unparalleled. If you like a quiet, charming get away, this is the perfect place for the outdoorsy lovers. We bought 2 hours of firewood (but I would recommend maybe doubling that!) the fun never seemed to stop by the bonfire. We could see so many stars in the night sky. Plus, Asheville is an updating city with a lot of food options. We have a private caterer, but we had a few things in town while we stayed. And where do I even begin on the China options??? If you’re a fan of fine china, these vendors have so many different sets. We found the perfect combination to go with our flowers and colors. So excited! Reviewed on 10-06-2020

There can be no better way to start anew, than to start with nature.
