I canāt say enough good things about this Venue and Doug! We had our wedding here in April and it was everything we wanted and more. The barn is a rustic with beautiful views. The fields surrounding the barn are well manicured with lush green grass and flowers. Doug the owner was like having a built in wedding planner. We were absolutely amazed with everything he provided and what he would do just to make sure your day was perfect. Doug is also a phenomenal chef and has a full staff. We were so lucky to chose him to handle the meals as Iām a foodie. It was so very important to me to have great food at our wedding. Doug nailed it, everyone left talking about how good the food was and how much fun they had at our wedding. Doug even helped with picking the right cake person. We set out to find the perfect cake trying sample after sample and weāre extremely disappointed. Doug sent us right over to his favorite baker that absolutely blew our minds. We canāt say enough good things about this special place and Doug!!! Thank you so much for making our day amazing!

I loved everything about this place and its owner from day one! It made for a beautiful set up the day of my wedding and plenty of space options for rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. Doug helped us every step of the way; even through those panicking bride random questions at 6 o'clock in the evening every few days. He made my wedding day a breeze (and that in itself says a lot)! The staff is also AMAZING! They were so kind and helpful any time we needed and they set everything up perfect. And the food.. the food was to die for.. use them as your caterer.. you will not regret it! Everything about this place was everything I dreamed of, I will forever cherish the time and memories made at The Fields of Blackberry Cove!

This wedding venue is gorgeous. The mountains and autumn leaves were absolutely amazing to have especially coupled with the secluded, rustic barn setting that Doug has put together. The staff was so helpful and courteous, supporting us with final decoration touches and amazing host skills. Our bartender, Don, went above-and-beyond by creating our bride-and-groom cocktails with alternative ingredients even when we ran out. They were all really great at day-of coordination. Doug makes all of the food and it turns out really delicious; we recommend the braciole and polenta! The entire day worked out great and our needs were met on the day-of to make the final day very special for us. Although, keep in mind that Doug is solely running the place, which makes it rather difficult to contact him via email or phone. When we arrived for the food tasting in June (wedding date in November), the tasting was rather disorganized and chaotic, leaving us no room to ask questions or determine much-needed details (such as alcohol, food, decorations, seating, order-of-ceremony, vendors, etc. ). Doug's mother, Frida, hosted us for the tasting and left us having more questions than answers. These details were not discussed as was originally planned, but panned over quickly without room for further discussion. Unbeknownst to us there was another wedding at the time of our tasting, which did not allow us the room or time to discuss the topics during the tasting. She was further surprised that we wanted to see the venue, asking if we could come back later, only to be disgruntled when we said we lived out-of-state, which was known to them several months before. It was a stressful 'first look'; recommend going through Doug only for all arrangements/communication. Even so, details were often forgotten--and last minute, we were notified that a special event license was needed to serve alcohol, which (living in DC) is almost impossible to get any government action in less than 4 weeks. It was down to the wire when we finally got the license. Wish we had known of the license requirement 5 months prior in June during the tasting.All being said, it is a beautiful venue and Doug is very kind to take on the venture of hosting weddings at his venue. Be an on-point, early planner and you'll succeed.

We hosted our May wedding at the Fields of Blackberry Cove. Doug was fantastic throughout the whole process and, besides the venue itself, he was a huge part of why we chose to have our wedding there. He made the process very easy, was very communicative and clear about pricing and what the venue would provide, and was accommodating to all of our needs (opening the venue early for hair & makeup, providing a few vegan meals, etc). The venue itself was amazing and so beautiful. We didnāt need to do much to make the space look great, just a few decorations here and there. We used the catering service through the venue and got so many compliments on the food. Our guests told us that we had the best wedding food out of any wedding theyād ever gone to. Doug was also there for us throughout the day when we hit bumps in the road and immediately solved them. Overall, we had an excellent experience at the Fields of Blackberry Cove and highly recommend this venue.

We used the Fields of Blackberry Cove for our wedding on 11/5/2022. The venue is so gorgeous, I did not feel I need to add too many decorations because I loved it just the way it was. Doug was on another level of calm for the whole thing. He would listen to what we wanted and just calmly make it all happen! It rained on our wedding day and I was a little frantic about it and he just hugged me and said it was all going to be great.. and he was not wrong. He really wants to make the day as special as it can be. We got catering from him also, and the food was top notch. The bartender served great drinks, and the wait staff was so kind. Overall, everything was exceeded our expectations and helped to make our wedding day the best ever. We recommend this venue for the cost, the beauty, and the ease of the whole day!

We had the best wedding here!! Doug, Freda and their team did an AMAZING job making our wedding dreams come true. So down to earth and made you feel like family. They were very responsive and helpful from the beginning answering all my questions. And Doug had an answer for everything! They have weddings down to a science and they know what needs to be done. There is also a place for you to get ready on site which makes everything so easy. I used their in-house catering company and chose to do the buffet and it worked out perfectly. I also used their in house florist and day of planner who made sure everything went smoothly on the day of. Freda's flowers were so beautiful and exactly what I envisioned. Everyone who came to the wedding said it was the most beautiful and fun time they had ever had at a wedding and I agree!! If you are looking for a wedding that has a great view with barn/rustic vibes then HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE!! Also, if you are looking for a DJ in western NC DJ Lev did an fantastic job as well and kept us dancing all night.

The Fields of Blackberry Cove was absolutely amazing! From the minute we toured the venue, to the wedding day, everything was perfect. Doug was great at answering any and all questions we had (and trust me, we had plenty) and he was so easy going and ensured me that he had a backup plan for his backup plans and our day would be perfect no matter what. We were on a budget and he never once pushed us towards any unnecessary add-ons, and even gave us alternatives for them that we could do on our own. The food was incredible, go with this venue and do yourself a favor: go with them for catering too. It was so good and every guest made it a point to tell me how delicious everything was. We seriously could not be happier in our choice to go with the Fields of Blackberry Cove!!

Having our wedding here was the BEST choice we made for our wedding! Doug was so incredible to work with, and made us feel at ease the entire planning process. We had so much flexibility on how to plan our day there with so much included in the venue price. Our guests are still raving about how incredible the food was! The team that works there handles anything and everything you could ask for, which made us be able to focus on getting ready the morning of and not if everything was set up and ready to go. I canāt say enough amazing things about Doug and his staff as well as the location of this venue.

We just had our wedding here Sunday, October 23rd with 63 guests. This was the absolute most wonderful day of my life, and Doug and his team pulled off the most beautiful and well ran wedding I (and along with my guests reviews) have ever been to. Doug had mentioned that heās been in this field of work for around 15 or 20 years or so, and it definitely shows! Doug was extremely easy to work with and made almost all of our requests come true unless there was something major that wouldāve caused issues. Because itās busy wedding season, we did have to wait a few bit days to hear back from Doug, but that is totally understandable considering he has other weddings to tend to. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the drive into the venue is stunning and runs along a river. Surrounded by trees and mountains, the venue is a truly magical place. Keep in mind that this is a wild and rustic venue, grounds are not super manicured like you might see at a vineyard or golf course. The barn is a very special place and looks amazing lit up at night. Again, this is an actual used old horse barn, you can see where the horses have chewed down parts of the old stalls. Tons of character! For the ceremony, we used to love and wisdom and found an amazing officiant, Sarah Judy. For food, we use Doug and his Chef and, the food was absolutely wonderful! We did barbecue, smoked chicken, a pasta bar and sides. Truly, this with some of the best wedding food I have ever had. Guests agreed! We loved Dougās flexibility with being able to bring in your own alcohol and wedding cake. We did have to hire a bartender but that made things run super smoothly. Also did cocktail hour appetizers which were fantastic. Service staff was amazing running behind folks and cleaning up and keeping everything tidy. Things to note: you do end up parking and having to walk into the ceremony space. After that, your guests do have to walk up a small hill to get to the reception space. We reminded all of our guests to wear boots. I think Doug would have transported anyone who needed any help or anyone with disabilities (they have a few golf carts on the property). And again, this is a truly rustic space; this is exactly what we were looking for but I can imagine that some people might be expecting something different (more manicured/up to date, not sure). I truly cannot recommend this anymore. This was the wedding of our dreams and Doug and his team or eager to make all of this happen for us. And icing on the cake- Doug is so funny and kept us laughing the whole time!! Doug, thank you so much, we will remember this day!!! We will miss you! ššš -Cameron & Koreen

I cannot say enough great things about Doug and his crew at Fields of Blackberry Cove. Doug took all of the hardship of planning a wedding and made it easy and get this...fun! The venue is stunning, nestled into the mountains with great views and loads of natural beauty. One things that I particularly loved is that everything is gorgeous as is - you can dress the venue up if you'd like but it's perfectly charming already if you're into a \"less is more\" vibe. Doug was beyond flexible with our ever-changing food menu and let me tell you...the food does NOT disappoint. You really do not need to bother finding outside catering unless you're absolutely set on it. I have friends reaching out to me weeks later asking me to grab some recipes from Doug.The staff was so polite and really on top of their game. I am so grateful to their attentiveness, truly rockstars. There's also plenty of space for both parties to get ready. We were never on top of each other and there was plenty of room for the stylists to do their magic. We even brought our dogs and we had enough space for them to have their own room. All in all the best experience and if you don't get married here then you're missing out on a very special place and people.

The Fields of Blackberry Cove was not only a gorgeous mountain venue, perfect for what I was looking for - private, tucked-away, with a whimsical but elegant feel - it also is run by amazing, kind staff! Doug and his crew ensured the day went perfectly and accommodated all of our needs. Many people told us afterward that it was some of the best food they had ever had (period - let alone at a wedding). The set-up was done fast and beautifully, and Doug took care of all the details to ensure things ran smoothly by staying in contact with me for months before the big day. I can't recommend this venue enough!

Doug was the MVP of our wedding weekend! Flawless communication through the app and was on top of everything we needed! He is not only a wealth of knowledge, but locally shops for all the food (it was AMAZING), does in house decorations and is super affordable!! The guests were blown away at how gorgeous his property was and he was so flexible to our wants and needs! I'd absolutely recommend this venue to any couple getting married or really any venue for a party!

Our daughter just had her ceremony and reception at The Fields of Blackberry Cove and everything went better than I would have imagined. We had friends and family from all over the country and what we heard from many was this: the best wedding I've attended.It's starts with the beautiful setting with mountain views all around. The reception was held at the Farmhouse, which includes both indoor and outdoor seating and just gives off a cool vibe.And then there is Doug, the owner. A friendly, chatty guy who has been doing this for years and it shows. You can bring in an outside caterer but you would be foolish. Doug knows what he's doing in the kitchen and our guests were not disappointed. The turkey and prime rib were delicious and two of our guests in particularly, both chefs, said it was the best food they've had at a wedding.We ran out of white wine but Doug had us covered, bringing out several bottles. As a parent you worry about how things will go during a wedding but with Doug, you don't need to. He and his staff know what they are doing and made our event a smashing hit.

The Fields of Blackberry Cove is such a lovely place! But it wasn't just the place that help us decide to use this venue, it was the owner, Doug. He was very friendly and helpful when we had questions or weren't sure of things. Overall the place was such an awesome area with great views, surrounded by mountains and friendly people willing to help with whatever was needed.

I wish we could do it all over again! Doug and Freda were both absolutely wonderful. Communication was easy, and they made our wedding vision come to life PERFECTLY. I didn't have to lift a finger the day of. Doug was incredibly flexible with my changing mind and everything went off without a hitch. We even joked that Doug must have stapled the leaves on the trees for us because our foliage was perfect. Freda knocked the flowers out of the park and the food was beyond delicious. I highly recommend!

The Fields of Blackberry Cove is such a beautiful venue. From the first day we visited, we felt welcomed by Doug and were in love with all the venue had to offer. Our ceremony had a breathtaking view of the mountains and the barn looked lovely all decorated for the reception. Having a backup location for bad weather was also a huge bonus! We used the venue for our rehearsal dinner as well, which was great. My bridal party had so much fun spending all morning in the lodge getting ready for the wedding. Freda created incredible floral arrangements and brought our dream to reality with all the flowers and decor. Doug's catering was a major highlight and everyone loved the food. Everything Doug makes is delicious and we really enjoyed the process of tasting the food a few months before the wedding. Doug and his staff will make you feel like family and do such a wonderful job ensuring the wedding goes smoothly. This venue really has it all and I couldn't imagine a better wedding day.

What a disappointing experience. I would not recommend the Fields of Blackberry Cove to any couple. My fiance and I toured this venue 8 months before our wedding day, and everything seemed great: Doug seemed super nice, the venue was beautiful, etc. We signed the paperwork and paid our $700 deposit, and were planning to have Doug as our caterer as well. Fast forward to 2 months later, and all of the sudden Doug stops responding to any forms of communication. My fiance and I tried to call, text, and email him for approximately a month and a half before we gave up and had to find another wedding venue and caterer very last-minute. We were planning this wedding from Pennsylvania, which was pretty difficult already. We contacted Doug again, in attempt to get our deposit back since we did not receive the service that we paid for. We reminded him that my fiance is in the active military and I am in graduate school, and we don't have extra $700 to spare. Needless to say, Doug never responded to us and we never received our deposit. Luckily we were able to find a different venue and caterer in time for the wedding, but I would never wish this experience for any bride or groom. So disappointing.

The reason why I booked this venue was because of the location and that it fit within my budget. Doug also let me run the show how I wanted. Every question that I had, was met with, \"it's however you want it.\" I wanted a record ceremony under 10 mins, and I was done by 7 mins. My rehearsal definitely ran longer than that. I heard good praises from my guests on the food and the catering staff. The bartender hired for the night was nice as well. Communication was an area of opportunity for Doug. There were instances that it took him 2-3 days to respond via WeddingWire, where I had originally found him. There was rain in the forecast on the day of our wedding and I had reached out the weekend before asking how quickly we good get a tent on standby. Lucky for us the rain held off until the end of the night, because he never responded back.I DO NOT recommend their in house florist. I had originally went in with plans on doing my own florals, but Freda, their florist had me sold on her experience doing events at the Omni Grove Inn, and she was willing to work within my budget. My first red flag should have been when I had reached out via email, with pictures of what I wanted my bouquets to look like and my response was just an invoice for them. Not assurance that the job could be done to what I had in mind.At our 45 day meeting we squared away some details and I showed her what I wanted my centerpieces to look like. The most basic centerpieces known to man, a wooden cookie with three cylinder vases of floating candles in each one, and strands of greenery across it. The day of the wedding we all walked into the bridal suite and found three bouquets. Two of which were in vases not filled with water at all, and one with a plastic base/handle. I've never seen a bouquet put together that way so I picked it up to examine it only to have a flower fall off. That's when I noticed that all of the flower heads were superglued together, which there went any plans of preserving my bouquet. Because of its size, everyone was confused as to whose bouquets were whose so my maid of honor and mother in law went to take care of the situation.The interaction with Freda was not a pleasant one from what I heard. My mother in law had to keep her cool in order to get Freda to quickly whip up a new bouquet, which she was not willing to do at all. I also found out during the entire interaction she kept referring to me as \"that girl\" and that I had been rude to her during the entire process. My husband was in the room each meeting we had with her. Some of the flowers in the bouquet also had begun browning and wilting, as if she didn't refrigerate them prior to the event.My centerpieces were nothing like we had agreed upon at our 45 day meeting. There were vases of flowers, and one vase of floating candles at the table, which if I had asked for it it would have been fine, but it wasn't what I envisioned. The next day I couldn't help but wake up feeling as if I had been cheated on my florals. I trusted Freda, with all the experience that she had but should have just went an entirely different route. Pros: location, catering staff, foodCons: communication, in house floristI would have definitely given Doug a higher review if it wasnāt for Freda.

It's unfortunate to leave a business a poor rating especially in today's times, but if it saves other people some major headaches with wedding planning in this global crisis then so be it. I had planned on having a wedding in Asheville in a few months but obviously with the pandemic happening and state regulations which prevent large gatherings, we decided to cancel our event. I started reaching out to Doug (the owner of the venue) several months prior well in advance of our wedding date and assumed that he would be very responsive, as he had been in the past. My initial interactions with Doug last year were very pleasant to be honest, so I was completely shocked when I was all of a sudden ghosted. I left multiple voicemails and sent numerous emails, and Doug was completely unhelpful and unresponsive. I ended up having to file a \"new event\" request with an alternate phone number to get him to call me back, and of course he did call back thinking that it was a new customer. When we spoke to him over the phone about returning our deposit, he said he was going to think it over and give us a call back per his promise within 36 hours. Of course he never called, and we are back to square one. All of my other wedding vendors have been reasonable in working with us during this crazy time with deposits etc, but Doug has been extremely shady in not even wanting to enter into a dialogue about the situation. The wedding industry is filled with options in terms of venue choices, so let me tell you, look elsewhere for a venue. The last thing you want when planning a wedding is to not be able to get in touch with your vendors in a crisis, and Doug has really shown his true colors.

Not to mention, they're hilarious and really make you feel like you've been friends your entire life. The food and service were amazing, tasty, and impeccable. The staff were polite, smiling, and incredibly helpful. The clasp on my dress broke, and as I was waiting for my aunt to find a safety pin, the bartender had already found me one and a server was fastening my dress together before my aunt returned.

I wish I could give Doug and the Fields of Blackberry Cove 10 stars. I truly struggle finding the words to express how wonderful Doug & Ken are and how easy it was to work with them. Every one of our guests told us how amazing the venue was, but the scenery is only a part of what makes this venue so special.As with any family, mine has a fair amount of baggage. Doug transported-- personally-- my 94 year old grandfather from the parking area, to the ceremony site, to the reception area, to the bathroom (multiple times) and back to the parking area. He did this all while deftly navigating a tumultuous relationship between his children (who don't speak to one another). Even my [incredibly high-strung] mother fell in love with Doug's accommodation, humility, and incredibly gentle/kindhearted nature. While I was getting dressed, I realized I hadn't polished a family bracelet I intended to wear. Without hesitation (and before I could get upset with myself for forgetting), Doug took the bracelet and polished it beyond expectation within an hour.Doug & Ken also seamlessly integrated with all the vendors; from the caterer to the dessert bakery, from the wedding planner to the DJ, from the photographers to the guests' transportation shuttle, Doug & Ken made it so no one could detect each service was provided by a disparate vendor. He swiftly dealt with a waitress having \"an issue\" before I, my husband, or any of the guests knew of it (I didn't find out until much later after it had been resolved!). Doug & Ken also showcased the grounds for the bridesmaids and groomsmen such that they could access (and find) the premium photo spots. He escorted the photographers around the beautiful grounds as well to ensure they were familiar with the various lighting and scenery so my husband and I could capitalize on the area's natural beauty while finding the best spots for our first photos as newlyweds.Without a doubt, Doug & Ken are amongst the most genuine people with whom I have ever had the pleasure (and honor) to work. We have already recommended them to several family & friends! Our wedding was amazing; wholeheartedly I can attribute its success to Doug & Ken and the Fields of Blackberry Cove.

This venue is outstanding. We had our dream fall mountain wedding here. The views are stunning, the people are friendly, and the price is right. Doug, Freda , and Ken made our day so perfect. Freda doubled as our florist and day of coordinator and helped everything run smoothly and look beautiful with rustic and natural flowers. My bouquet was better than I had even imagined and the floral decorations on our arbor were breath taking. Doug and his staff prepared a delicious feast of salmon, skirt steak and seasonal sides including a to die for butternut squash soup. Doug makes the best homemade bread I have ever had in my life and he always had some for us every time we came out to visit the venue over the course of our planning. The staff were so professional and kind, I felt welcomed by every single one of them. If you're considering this venue just book it! You won't be disappointed, these folks and the space they have is exactly the type of good energy you need around you on your special day!

When my husband and I first came across the Fields of Blackberry Cove website online we just had a feeling that it would be a magical place to get married, and we were right! The property is absolutely gorgeous. There are wide-open spaces with stunning views of the mountains, we couldnāt have asked for anything more. On top of the venue itself being the perfect place to say āI doā, the owner Doug and his team were phenomenal!!! They bent over backwards to not only make us happy, but to accommodate all of our guests as well. Since our wedding day I have heard numerous stories from people who Doug and his team impressed. When we first read other reviews about Doug and this venue online I thought it all seemed too good to be true, but The Fields of Blackberry Cove really is everything people described! We would recommend this venue to any and everyone!!! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

The Fields of Blackberry Cove was the most beautiful venue. We didn't have to do much set up. They had vanities, arbors, hay bails, benches, buckets, lights, tables, table clothes.....everything that you could possibly image to make your special day just as you pictured it. Doug was also a wonderful host. He met me in the barn before walking down to my husband with water and words of encouragement. It was truly the most magical day and I would recommend this venue to any couple that has a gorgeous outdoor, barn, mountainous scenery in mind.

Doug and Ken were both very professional and very fun! They did an amazing job making sure we had everything we needed and decorated the venue so well. They really think of every detail. There is a really nice lodge where the bridal parties can get ready with plenty of room for everyone and separate areas for the bride and her crew and the groom and his crew. Everything was very clean and the view of the mountains from the property was breathtaking. We also hired them for our catering as well and the food was incredible! Our guests were talking about how good the food was for days after the wedding. I would recommend them 100 times over!

Booking The Fields of Blackberry Cove for our venue was the best decision that we made for our wedding. We booked, sight unseen and could not be happier with our choice. Doug and Freda worked tirelessly for us from day one. I was starting a new job, moving and getting married in a very short time, so they dealt with me and my Mom a LOT. They were happy to set up phone calls with her and answer any and all of our questions. They took out the stress of setting up our DJ, photographer and florist, all of whom were PERFECT for us. Doug also catered for us and the food was absolutely delicious. The day of, we were blessed with a somewhat rainy day. I was determine to have the outdoor mountain wedding of our dreams. They worked with us so that we were able to have the perfect wedding ceremony. They worked so hard for us and we are so elated. Thank you thank you thank you for the best day! If you are looking for a perfect place for an Asheville wedding, look no further! Do yourself a favor and book them.

I had a few guests that needed golf cart assistance and his staff never failed to be at their service. I had a complete diy wedding and my planner wasn't super helpful but thankfully Doug stepped in and made things happen (I would def. recommend using their planning services verses an outside company just bc they were so helpful with everything I can only imagine how much more stress-free it would have been with having them plan and organize). I can't thank them enough- my day was simply unforgettable and just perfect.

We couldnāt be happier with our choice to use Fields of Blackberry Cove as our venue, and our guests certainly agreed. From the get-go it was clear weād made the right choice. The venue itself is beautiful. The view of the valley across is splendid and the grounds are maintained to a high standard. Thereās an old oak tree on the lawn that is gigantic. Itās awe-inspiring. Plus, the barn/reception area can fit any needs. It is flexible in terms of style yet consistently retains an aura of rustic, which really lends itself well to photography. With the way lighting is set up, photos come out beautiful.Moreover, Doug and his staff are top-notch. They were exceedingly helpful and are very kind people. From day one, they answered every question we had, gave us recommendations for other vendors to use and really guided us through the wedding planning process. They helped us with table organization, floral arrangements, paperwork required, etc - itās a long list of items. Freda is the āday of coordinatorā and mother of the venue-owner. We HIGHLY recommend hiring Freda Baker. She is organized, she knows the wedding game and she knows how to make a couple happy! She was an angel to work with and truly helped made our day stress free!We also catered through Fields (Doug) and the food was splendid. The quality was superb for every single item we purchased. One quote I received from a friend was āI knew you said it was good, but I didnāt realize itād be that good.ā The service from Doug was exceptional as well. In fact, one of our items had an ingredient discontinued by his supplier so he made it himself! We were floored and really grateful. He is a true foodie and his twists on classic wedding dishes were perfect! If you're looking for a venue, look no further! This is the perfect wedding venue!

Him and his staff know what they are doing and they stay busy because of this. Could not and would not have wished/asked for a better venue.

Once we saw the Fields of Blackberry Cove, we knew that was where we were getting married. It has so much natural beauty the we really didnāt need to have many decorations at all, which we thought was a bonus. Doug and his team are AMAZING and will no doubt make sure you have the best experience possible!

My husband and I picked The Fields of Blackberry Cove because it is beautiful, the owners are great, and the price was in our budget. We got married on Nov 22 and it was the best day we could have hoped for. Everyone says planning is so horrible but it wasn't in our case. The staff was extremely helpful with details and providing a list of vendors that worked out wonderfully. I'm so thankful to Doug, Ken, and Freda because they listened to what we wanted to make our special day ours and they made it happen! I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone who wants a beautiful wedding and awesome people to help you.

I would highly recommend this venue! Doug is extremely helpful, the suggestions he gives for vendors are all wonderful, and his sense of humor makes the planning process more fun. All the staff are kind and professional. The venue is absolutely beautiful and very affordable for the usually pricey area!

It's hard to believe that this time last week we were celebrating our son's wedding at \"The Fields of BlackBerry Cove\"! We could not have had a more perfect day or a more perfect venue! It started the night before in \"The Lodge\" where we hosted a 60 person rehersal dinner. Doug and his team assisted our family in every way possible to ensure our special event went off without a hitch. The ceremony in the field and the reception in the barn, the next day were Rustic Elegance at it's finest! Whether you live in the beautiful state of North Carolina, or are planning a \"destination \" event like we did, we would highly recommend you check out The Fields of BlackBerry Cove, Weaverville, NC! Our sincere gratitude to Doug and his team! Doug & Renee Stutes, Orlando FL.

This was the only venue we toured and we both loved it. I'm so happy we chose this place. It had everything we needed and was so reasonably priced for the area. Doug is amazing and is so accommodating, funny, honest, and helpful. He knows what he's talking about it; you can tell he has a lot of experience with weddings. The big tree was a perfect setting for the ceremony and the barn had plenty of space for our guests. The yard was perfect for yard games and the fire pit was a nice touch. The lodge had a lot of space to get ready in. The golf cart was so nice to have for transporting our grandparents back and forth because it is a little hilly going from the ceremony site to the barn for the reception. Please choose this venue for your ceremony and reception! If you are looking for the perfect outdoor wedding spot this is it! You won't be disappointed.

We had our wedding this past Saturday at The Fields of Blackberry Cove and it was beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about Doug and the rest of the staff there. From making us their priority and ensuring everything ran smoothly, our wedding was absolutely perfect. The grounds are beautiful and so well taken care of. Doug and Ken are very intuitive and full of great ideas. They were always available when we had questions or worries and always put us at ease. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a rustic yet beautiful venue.

I highly recommend this venue!! Very under priced for everything you get with the venue package. They help set up, clean up, and provide almost any decorations you might need (and by help I mean they did almost everything...my day was amazingly calm and not stressful...and I did not have a planner). They are so sweet and helpful from the day you schedule your wedding on. The only thing not included was officiant and cake (and of course dress/tuxes etc). I was very very happy! Beautiful venue!

The Fields is exactly everything you could possibly hope from in a venue: Accommodating, Friendly, Gorgeous (even in the dead of winter!), and prepared- plus, handicap accessible! Doug and his team were incredible from the moment we booked with them; from advice to accommodating special requests, to being a friendly face on a chaotic day, Doug had it.

My husband, Mark, and I got married on September 20th of this year. Everything about the venue was wonderful! The weather ended up being absolutely perfect and the views were magnificent. We got married under the giant oak tree and used the barn for our reception. Doug, and his mother Freda, were extremely helpful with everything, answered any questions or concerns we had in a timely manner and made everything run smoothly. This is a hidden gem out in Weaverville and would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for get married outdoors in a beautiful location.
