Venues & Event Spaces in Marshall, NC

“I highly recommend this venue! This place is beyond beautiful, has the best views of the mountains and river, and truly has the most caring and attentive owner. Joanne takes such genuine care and detail of everything. The love she created this breathtaking venue with shows through every detail. She is an amazing host and we will always cherish the Appalachian Lodge at Rivers Bend. All of my guests were raving about the beauty of this venue. I highly recommend!!”

“I got married a couple of weeks ago at Longleaf Vineyard and it was hands down the best venue we could have ever hoped for! All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was and how unique the space is compared to other weddings they had been to in the NC mountains. Wendy and Brian (the vineyard owners) could not have been easier to work with throughout the entire process from the first call we had introducing ourselves to the end of the night. They truly opened up their home and personal vineyard to us - one of coolest elements is that they offer a wine tasting during cocktail hour where Brian hosts guests for a tasting of their wine right outside of their home. So so cool and everyone loved it!Being a former wedding planner herself, Wendy knows all of the ins and outs of the business and truly helps the bride-to-be work through details that I personally would have never thought of. She was extremely organized and worked well with our other vendors - I also loved that she had standing partnerships with our baker and caterer (which were both incredible) which made it seamless from my end.Planning a wedding can easily turn into a full-time job and I cannot stress enough how important it is to find good partners which you will absolutely find at Longleaf Vineyards. My husband and I are forever grateful for Wendy and Brian and if you are planning a wedding in the NC mountains you MUST check them out!”

“Gorgeous place to work your horses, with views of the blue ridge mountains. A happening spot for the rodeos and ag competitions. Plenty of parking and easy access.”
