The Arbors — Hotel in Troutman

Wonderful venue! I have loved this venue since I was in high school. I am so glad I chose them as my wedding venue. The venue is pretty expensive. The venue ONLY allows you to chose one of their 3 food vendors ( we chose LKN in Mooresville=BEST food every). They also ONLY allow you to use their bar service who they work hand in hand with. Its about $19 per person for open bar with basic choices and if you have 100 or LESS guest you can do a "comsumption bar" ar around $13 per person (aged 21 and over) but they also charge "soda" fee for under 21. So overall every guest count you have costs money.) I'm including this part of the review because when you choose this venue, these are things that are go along with it. Again, you can only choose one out of 3 choices for food (LKN is who we chose, they were great). You cannot bring your own alcohol and you cannot have a "cash bar". You MUST use their bar services. You get a 1 hr rehearsal the week of your wedding, if they are not holding a week day wedding on. Their coordinator Angie was great however I brought in my own coordinator that I met at a wedding show. I was also able to schedule a walk through to show my coordinator around the premise. They also include a 3 hour access for you and your photographer to do engagement/bridal portraits. Great venue. I didn't have any problems! ALSO! When you rent the pavilion site, you get the groom cabin included! My groom LOVED this and it is what sold him on it. You have 10am access and he and his groomsmen enjoyed the entire morning there playing table games inside. Inside the pavilion site there is a bridal suite. we had plenty of room in there for 3 hair/makeup artist and all my girls and some family. The "main" site is a weekend only rental. SUPER expensive. They rent this from Friday -Sunday. I didn't rent this because it was way out...

This venue is breathtaking. COVID forced us to postpone our wedding and unfortunately for us that meant we had to find a new venue. I came across the Arbors and never looked anywhere else! We did a tour last April/May of both venues on their property - The Main Venue and the Pavilion. While you can't go wrong with either, the Main Venue caught our eye and we went with it. The convenience of having basically an entire house attached to where you'll be getting married and having your reception can't be understated. The area is kept immaculate from the perfect lawn care to the gorgeous lake and blooming flowers (if you're getting married in spring/summer), just wow. Nothing around the Statesville area compares. There are so many amazing spots for photo opportunities that I think our photographer would have kept us from the reception all night if she could just to get more. We loved the remoteness of it, and when our guests arrived you could see their jaws drop. I don't think pictures do it justice so I would recommend a tour. As for the tour and booking - we worked with Kim which is one of the owners assistants mostly. She answered all of our questions and if she wasn't positive, she would check in with the owner Brian asap to make sure we had a straight answer with no hesitation which I really appreciated. We were even able to come out on a random Sunday afternoon with our planner and florist to vet out the space for flowers and envision the table settings, they just double checked that there wasn't an event going on and let us come by. They worked with us as well when I had to have our final meeting (typically about 30-40 days before the wedding) remotely and only a week out from the wedding due to a family emergency. They are extremely professional and made the hectic nature of wedding planning just...

Run and book this venue! It will not disappoint. Not only do you have picturesque views with lakes amazing greenery and beautiful arches from the building itself. But let me tell you having a house where you can stay on Friday and set up with your wedding party takes 1000% of the stress off you the day of. Gives you more time to just be in the moment that morning. And the best of all is Kim. I spoke with her because as the mom I was in a different state and the bride and groom were in a different state. But Kim made me feel like family that she was a best friend that was just as excited for my daughter’s wedding as I was. I couldn’t have done this wedding without her. She explained everything and gave her valued years of wedding advice and truly made my daughter’s day magical! Thanks you so much Kim I can’t say enough about her. Please go book with her and do a tour you will not be disappointed with the venue the house and even the outside area for...
