Everyone at Laurel Ridge Country Club was amazing and our wedding day was so magical! From the bridal suite, golf cart rides to picture places, amazing mountain views, to amazing food, and the beautiful indoor reception space, everything was above and beyond! Holly and Ariel were so easy to work with and so kind. Can’t say enough good about this venue! The staff was also so friendly and did just about everything for us. They set up and take down the ceremony chairs and dining sets, serve, and they even set up a room for my husband and I to enjoy our first meal together. It made it so fun and romantic! The only down side was the day flew by so fast 😉

Stunning venue, excellent coordinators, incredible food, stunning, gorgeous views!!

The best decision we made in the wedding planning process was booking Laurel Ridge. If you are looking for a stunning venue with excellent coordinators, incredible food, and gorgeous views, look no further. Unfortunately, our wedding was the day after Hurricane Helene came through western North Carolina. The team at Laurel Ridge, especially Holly and Ariel, pulled out all the stops for us to make the wedding happen. They remained calm, kind, helpful, and generous throughout the day even though they were also personally experiencing the impact of the hurricane. They reassured me that they had everything covered/under control, and they remained flexible as surprises popped up throughout the day. The staff that worked the wedding were also incredible (thank you, Sam, the bartender, for being just the kindest soul and keeping our spirits high during the night). I feel so lucky to have worked with such genuinely wonderful people. I also have to give a massive shout-out to Chef Brett. He is incredibly kind and excellent at what he does. On our wedding day, they informed me that all the wedding food had spoiled the day before when they lost power. Chef Brett personally greeted me and told me he would call all of his connections to make sure we could feed our guests a delicious meal. Not only did he pull it off, it was one of the best meals I have ever had. Guests continue to rave about the food! Thank you, Chef Brett!!!! All in all, this place and the people working here are amazing. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Laurel Ridge Country Club; a beautiful clubhouse, stunning backdrop, that makes our job so easy in creating floral environments for romantic mountain weddings. The professional and organized staff of the venue only adds to the ease that we feel when we have the opportunity to work there. We always look forward to our bridal couples inviting us to play a part at the Laurel Ridge Country Club. If you have not visited this venue yet, we highly recommend a trip.
