Venues & Event Spaces in Marshall, NC

“Our experience at Appalachian Lodge was nothing short of wonderful. The views are breathtaking, the property is beautifully maintained, and the entire space has such a calm, inviting feel to it. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.”

“My husband and I got married last month at Longleaf Vineyard and it was hands down the best decision we made for the wedding! We had 85 guests in total and Longleaf was a perfect fit for our guest count. The Longleaf layout is in my opinion the best, because the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are nearby but each activity has its own space. Plus, guests had the freedom to move around and wander the vineyard/grounds.

My husband and I went with the Longleaf Experience package. With this package, Longleaf provided us with a list of Preferred Vendors and helped provide coordination services with their caterer, bartenders, baker, and rental partners which helped tremendously in the wedding planning process. We chose all of our vendors from the Preferred Vendor list and they were all amazing.

For the rehearsal at Longleaf, we had two shuttle vans take the wedding party from the hotel block to rehearsal and rehearsal dinner the night before. The shuttle that I was in - as soon as we got up the hill and could see out to the venue, the wedding party audibly gasped because the view was so stunning. I was told the other shuttle also had the same experience, as well. Longleaf is absolutely beautiful and the perfect venue if you are looking for beautiful mountain views and a calm, peaceful place to host your wedding.

The owners and venue specialist, along with the rest of their team, ensured the day went on like a well oiled machine. Between managing with the shuttle vans and guest parking, the vendors, and working alongside our day of coordinator, everything went on smoothly and I cannot recall any issues. As the bride, I was able to stay calm because I knew that Longleaf and my wedding team had everything taken care of.

Since the wedding I’ve had family and friends call to rave about how beautiful the wedding was and how special of a place we found to host our wedding.

I cannot recommend Longleaf enough if you are looking for a beautiful venue that your guests will rave about and a professional wedding team that will make your wedding day feel easy and calm. Longleaf is truly a special place and exceeded all of mine and my husband’s expectations.”
