They were able to fulfill my request to rearrange some of the furniture to better suit our needs, and even allowed me to rent a tent to cover the back deck so my caterer could easily set up and tear down our dinner buffet. The only downside was the lack of a full kitchen, which did make it a bit more challenging for the catering team. But overall, Redbird Ridge Estate went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect, and I'm so grateful we chose this stunning venue.

While Emerald Ridge is an extraordinary venue, it wasn’t the venue that won us over. The owners, Janice & Paul, were the reason we decided we wanted to have our wedding there. Janice was our first point of contact and couldn’t have been more communicative, authentic, personable, and accommodating. They allowed us to take our engagement photos there after touring the property. Paul drove us around on his golf cart and happily answered all of our questions and put us at ease. We hired Malorie as our “month of” wedding coordinator and we’re extremely pleased that we did! She’s clearly an expert when it comes to the property and the wedding planning/execution process. On the day of our wedding she went above and beyond to make us feel as special and comfortable as possible! Mason and Taylor were also extremely accommodating and hard working. The entire staff was incredibly genuine and kind to us and our guests. We highly recommend booking the “No Stress Wedding Weekend” package and adding Thursday night to get the full experience of feeling right at home. Emerald Ridge has a vast inventory of decorations which allowed us to travel lightly from out of town. Emerald Ridge has a focus on keeping their property naturally beautiful and respecting the environment, which we very much appreciated. We truly could not have asked for a better wedding experience! We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts.

We had our wedding at Bells with a View Events and could not have been happier with our choice! Patricia, the host, was amazing to work with - her communication throughout the planning process was prompt, friendly, and made us feel like top priority. The venue itself is gorgeous, with clean and crisp event spaces that perfectly frame the stunning mountain views. Patricia allows couples to use her wide variety of decor, which gave us plenty of options to make the space our own. From the beautiful ceremony backdrop to the charming cabins, Bells with a View provided the most inviting and picture-perfect setting for our special day. Patricia went above and beyond as our host - her attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our needs made our wedding dreams come true. We wholeheartedly recommend Bells with a View to any couple looking for a breathtaking mountain venue with an equally incredible host!

The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that made our ceremony unforgettable. The attention to detail, the warmth, and the hospitality were unparalleled.

I'm a wedding planner in the Raleigh area and the Parlour is one of the top venues I recommend to my clients and that I personally use for events. It's a beautiful space but more importantly for my job, the team is top notch. They care deeply about their clients, their space, and the industry at large. They are professional and have a team work ethic which is necessary in the event space. I count it a joy to work at this venue!
