We absolutely loved our wedding weekend at Laurel Falls! Our friends and families were so impressed with the beautiful mountains and venue. Kristen was absolutely amazing from helping me pick a wedding date all the way up to our wedding day. Definitely recommend renting a golf cart! Reviewed on 20-12-2023

Laurel Falls was an absolute dream! From the very first phone call with Kristen, we felt confident that we had found the right place for us to get married. My partner and I got married on a Saturday, and were able to spend Thursday - Sunday on the property. This was such a game changer. Being able to take our time setting up & getting to know the space took away so much stress that I know we would have felt if didn't choose a venue that allowed us to stay multiple nights. The environment was absolutely beautiful, and each of the cabins had their own unique charm. The team working for Laurel Falls, particularly Kristen, were such a pleasure to work with. They were so accommodating of every question or concern we had, and made us feel like we were their only clients. If you're considering Laurel falls for your wedding, look no further, this place is a dream. Reviewed on 11-12-2023

YES, YES, SO MUCH YES!!! I cannot recommend Laurel Falls enough for a small/intimate wedding. We fell in love from the very beginning. The property is absolutely beautiful and we loved to see the work that was put into updates along the property (adding more parking, more accessible restrooms, improving the outdoor space outside the barn, etc) based on clientsâ feedback! You can tell Paul really cares about making the space perfect. Additionally, communication throughout the entire year after booking and leading up to the wedding day was spot on. Kristen is so organized and communicative, an absolute pleasure to work with. We also utilized the preferred vendor list to book a lot of our other vendors which was super helpful and a lot of them were very familiar with the space making planning easier.The scenery speaks for itself, but our out of town family and friends were absolutely amazed by the beauty of the fall colors. It was so nice to have on-site accommodations for most of our guests and feel tucked away in the mountains while also only being 15-20â from the heart of Asheville. I wish I could relive this day over and over. Laurel Falls helped make our wedding day even more perfect than we could have imagined! Reviewed on 06-12-2023

We had our wedding at Laurel Falls in May 2023. The venue is stunning with tons of amazing views, greenery, waterfalls, and lots of charm. We rented the property for the weekend and the cabins were perfect for our family. They were very clean and well organized. The staff was super attentive and available for whatever we needed all weekend. Kristen was wonderful to work with throughout the process as she is very responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were all set for our weekend. communication was excellent leading up to our wedding and it felt as though we were becoming a part of the Laurel Falls family. This property is well taken care of. If youâre looking for great mount views and an intimate setting, I highly recommend Laurel Falls! Reviewed on 30-07-2023

I cannot even begin to explain the magic that is Laurel Falls. Being able to spend the weekend in this dreamy 18 acre location with our loved ones to celebrate our love is something I wish we could do every year. I mayyyyy have shed a tear looking out at the mountains the day we had to leave. If you're thinking about booking, do it!We had 16 folks stay onsite with us, and everyone was so impressed with the venue. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say \"how did you find this place?!\"Kristen, the Events Director, was INCREDIBLE to work with throughout the planning process. She always had answers for my random one-off questions, and I enjoyed those emails frankly. She is such a delight.Paul, Laurel Falls' owner, was also amazing as he called us the day of our rehearsal dinner on The Lodge porch with great news that our linens were arriving just in time for the rehearsal dinner. The attention to detail and well wishes were so very appreciated as we shuffled around to make sure everything was just right. Andy was also incredible helping us on the day of to make sure all our wedding guests knew where they were going.You just can't beat this level of service, on top of a location that just cannot be replicated. I felt like Snow White surrounded by cute little gophers and birds and my fully adult human dwarves (aka my friends and family it was dope). Reviewed on 02-07-2023

Laurel Falls is absolutely spectacular! Weâre from Florida, but knew we wanted an intimate mountain wedding, and just happened to stumble across Laurel Falls on google. We booked a weekday wedding in June before even seeing the venue in person, which I was a little nervous about.. but WOW Laurel Falls did not disappoint.It was everything we imagined and more. We had about 15 family and friends stay with us on site for three days and 47 total guests at the wedding. Everyone was awestruck and continuously asked us how we found this place. The word of the week was âmagicalâ. We had friends and family travel in from Minnesota, Florida, Nebraska, Washington, New York, etc. Everyone was easily able to find accommodation in the area and flights were surprisingly smooth with Asheville being just a short drive away.The cabins were cozy, stocked with everything we needed, and allowed everyone to have their own space/cabin for the three days. The venue itself had so many versatile spaces â we had our ceremony at the boulder site, reception at the rustic barn, rehearsal dinner and brunch on the lodge porch.As for Laurel Falls staff â Kristen was amazing. She was always available to chat through questions I had and was so organized in all the information she shared with us prior to the wedding. She even provided a vendor list, which was so appreciated because I wasnât from the area and didnât know where to start! The day of the wedding there was a staff member on site who worked with our coordinator to ensure everything was set up and ready to go.I cannot recommend Laurel Falls enough! It was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Reviewed on 30-06-2023

Laurel Falls - we can't even describe the experience we had, from planning to our magical weekend to follow up after our celebration - everything was exactly as we hoped. Kristen, the event coordinator, is a gift to any bride and groom who discover Laurel Falls, and Paul, the owner, knows how to make you fall in love with the special place he created with his family. EVERYONE at our wedding was amazed by the location and especially those who stayed on the property with us asked over and over how we found this incredible venue. Kristen always answered our questions quickly and we always felt calm and like we were in good hands, even when a few last minute things came up and bad weather was threatening our plans days before. We barely needed anything because the surroundings do all the work for you and there are so many other vendors who love working there that putting it all together was a breeze. We made so many memories and are so glad we decided to do a weekend with our closest loved ones instead of just one single night. We celebrated every night, had bonfires and walks on the property, and took so many beautiful pictures. We didn't want to leave but know that our wedding was so unique and special because we found Laurel Falls. Reviewed on 28-05-2023
Sarah Varshney(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-04-2023 Laurel Falls was honestly the best, most beautiful place we could have imagined for our special day. As mountain people at heart, we were looking for a quieter location with great views where we could enjoy time with our family and Laurel Falls absolutely delivered on all counts. The four cabins that are included are so spacious, beautiful, and ideal for bringing together family and friends both before, on, and after the wedding. There are also multiple locations on the property suitable for having the ceremony and reception (all of them gorgeous)- plus a hottub, waterfall, lawn games, and small nature trail! If you're looking for a beautiful venue for a small-ish wedding, this is the place! Reviewed on 22-05-2023
Emily Wall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2023 5 stars is not enough for Laurel Falls! Our friends and family were in awe and asking us all weekend âhow did you find this place?!â. The property itself is breathtaking and is the perfect place for an intimate wedding. We made so many memories over the weekend stay that we will cherish forever!We had 20 people staying on property and every cabin was well stocked with everything you could need for the weekend (kitchen supplies, irons, dust buster/cleaning supplies, extra linens) and they all felt so cozy. Kristen, the events director, was incredibly helpful and so communicative in the months and days leading up to our wedding. Andy, the property coordinator, helped make our day easy by getting out all of the things we needed (chairs for ceremony, ceremony archs, extra tables, etc.) and coordinating parking the day of. Also the welcome package provided is so thorough and made our vendor selection process seamless.I could go on and on but if youâre considering an intimate mountain wedding, look no further than Laurel Falls! We are so glad we had our weekend here and are so thankful to the Laurel Falls team. Reviewed on 28-03-2023
