We got married at The Vineyards at Betty's Creek and it was absolutely the most beautiful, magical place for us to share our special day with each other and our family and friends! The grounds of the venue are just stunning. The huge house on the property (The Lodge) is included with the rental for the weekend and was gorgeous, well renovated, lots of bathrooms and had stunning views. We had the bridesmaids stay there for the weekend and this is where the bride and bridesmaids got ready for the wedding. We also had the rehearsal dinner on the back patio area of that house where there is a gorgeous mountain view!! It was perfect. The ceremony was on the lawn where they have a nice arbor set up permanently and was well shaded. It is very close to the Honeymoon Cottage (Betty's Cellar) where my husband and I stayed on the wedding night and it was such a cute little cottage feel and woke up to a view of our wedding ceremony site. There was a groom's barn where the groomsmen hung out and got ready prior to the ceremony. The reception was at The Pavillon, which was a perfect venue site for our band, tables to seat 160 people comfortably, a buffet table, dessert table, dance floor, it has a built in bar. The huge chandeliers in there were gorgeous, there is a stunning mountain view from the bump out on the Pavillon which is where the dance floor was. Our guests were stunned by the views, the venue and the grounds on the property. We have had so many people tell us how beautiful it was but also how much fun the venue was! It was also really fun to have the whole property for the whole weekend and have my bridesmaids stay on the property too. Tracy, the venue manager, was fantastic. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process, gave so much information off the bat in writing as to what the amenities offered, the extensive inventory list of equipment on site that are included with the property rental, helpful hints and tips and recommendations. She was so nice and professional the whole time, quick to respond to emails and calls. She was a huge asset to the planning of this wedding! She was generous with letting me visit the property about 3-4 times during the planning process. She found a tiny bracelet that I had lost while I was there and saved it for my mom to come get! She is the best! Thank you for everything, Tracy!!! If you are interested in a Western NC wedding, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND VBC!!! Had the best time! Already can't wait to visit...
   Read moreFrom beginning to end this venue went above and beyond our expectations. We knew choosing our venue was going to be the most important step of our wedding planning as it was to set the tone for our "destination wedding". My fiance lived in FL at the time and I had always vacationed in the WNC area and knew that's where we had to get married!
We chose to get married during Memorial Day weekend at the end of May and locked in the venue last February. We have been in contact with Tracy at the venue who has been nothing short of amazing in helping with all our planning. From providing us with all the info we could possibly need for the venue to helping us choose vendors in the area and of course all that she did with her team the weekend of our wedding.
We did not have to worry about anything with Tracy and her team on Memorial Day weekend 2024; if I needed help at check in to hang my dress (because I'm too short), her staff was there to help, if we had two extra people show up for our rehearsal dinner they were quick to set up a table (without it interrupting our event), if there was an unexpected 5 minute rain shower, they were quick to change out the linen we had or wipe down seats and in such a way that our guests didn't even notice. Tracy set up the s'mores bar for when we wanted to have a hang out by the chimney, she made sure all the linens were in all our guest rooms at the lodge when they arrived, she made sure the trash was taken our and that our beds were turned down - but more than that it was the personal touches and the individual care she gave to our entire guest list and to the bride and groom that made the venue feel even more special.
The venue itself is beautiful - breathtaking. From the minute you turn down Betty's Creek till you get to the top where the lodge is! The mountains are ever-changing with the climate and the "smoke" that truly enhance all your pictures and make your guests feel like they are celebrating in the clouds. The vineyards are well taken care of and there are so many places and hidden gems on the property for guests and the bride and groom to take pictures!
We are so lucky that our dates were available (book early!!) and that we had the support of the entire staff at Betty's Creek for our event. We can't imagine saying our "I do's" anywhere else. We will definitely be back to visit when we are...
   Read moreWe were so blown away by VBC from the very start. The property is absolutely stunning and hard to beat! Julie Sylvester (who is sadly on her way out) was our go-to throughout the whole process. Julie is a pro and definitely knows her stuff! She was easy and helpful to work with during the whole process. We visited the property many times prior to the big day and this was never difficult to arrange with Julie. We decided to rent the property for the entire weekend, and are so glad that we did! My family came in from out of town and were all able to stay in the lodge. They were blown away by their accommodations and loved staying there! We had our rehearsal dinner on the property as well, which was a nice touch. The day of the wedding, myself and my bridesmaids had a nice comfortable place to get ready, as well as the groom and his groomsmen. We had some difficult weather to deal with on our wedding day... It was a July afternoon in the mountains. Julie and her staff did everything in their power to help our vision of having our ceremony outside with the arbor possible. Unfortunately just as the wedding party got down the aisle and it was time for me to make my stroll, the rain poured! The VBC staff broke into action and carted/bussed all guests and wedding party up the hill to the reception site where our rain plan ceremony was already set up and waiting. One of the owners, Lee, was on property the day of our event. He was so good to us the whole day. He saved the girls by removing some wasps that had snuck in our room while we had the windows open, he drove myself and my mom up the hill to our new ceremony site discreetly so no guests or the groom could see me in his own vehicle, and he drove myself and the groom to where we needed to take pictures. I never worried about a single detail the whole day. Looking back on our day, I would never change a thing, including the rain mishap. Everyone that attended the wedding had so much fun and loved being on the property! Everyone was so amazed by the beauty of the venue! We could have gotten married anywhere, but we are so beyond thankful to have gotten married at the Vineyards at Betty's Creek! I can't thank the staff enough for everything they did for us and helping to make our day more than we could...
