Stunning, seamless, amazing group of people to work with for such an important day

This venue was EVERYTHING. Besides the stunning views, long farmhouse tables, the fireplace and everything little detail they put for this venue- what truly makes it the best is their team. I had the wedding planner + venue package + opted for the decor closet first we had a different planner but she ended up leaving and there was NO worry at all once we got assigned with Whitney. She was freaking awesome: always willing to answer all my random questions and truly made it a worry free day. Besides just Whitney, there was also the Bar Manager and she was also lovely to work with & always super helpful. Lastly, with this venue they have worked with so many vendors that it was nice that my caterer, DJ, Metro Wines and florist have all worked with Chestnut Ridge’s team that everything was seamless. All my guest had nothing but praises about this venue. Thank you guys so much!

Perfect Venue

Our daughter wanted a NC mountain wedding, but not a rustic wedding. Chestnut Ridge was perfect. The setting, nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains, is stunning, and the buildings (ceremony pavilion and reception hall) are beautiful and well-planned. Owner, Taylor, and our planner, Emily, were kind, patient, and professional as we planned from a far. (the bride lives in TX and we, bride’s parents, live in Utah) Our daughter’s wedding at Chestnut Ridge was exactly what she had dreamed of. HIGHLY recommend.

Wedding Venue

We are so happy we had our wedding at Chestnut Ridge. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff did an amazing job setting up for our wedding day bringing our vision to life- they have a great staff that makes this happen and it is well worth every penny. We wanted a venue that was in the mountains with a special ceremony spot that could be closed off in the event of rain. Chestnut Ridge was the perfect venue for what we were looking for and even includes spaces for the girls and guys to get ready with so many great picture spot options. We highly recommend this venue and their full team!

Taylor Gregg
Taylor Gregg
Creative Owner + Founding Director of CR

She loves all things southern, sweet tea and chocolate (although not together!!), and homemade pound cake with her coffee (yes….always together!!). She is humbled that she is able to run her dream business from her home base and thankful that she can share this blessing of home with all of her couples, their families and guests.

As the Founder of Chestnut Ridge, Taylor credits her history in wedding planning since 2013 to her success in the industry. She did extensive research working for other venues in Asheville, and planning weddings all around North Carolina (from the triad to the mountains!). She has seen almost every possible set up, situation, and dealt with all the things at Chestnut Ridge. She built and designed Chestnut Ridge with her husband, and continues to style and design parties for corporate events, family gatherings, and weddings.

Loving every minute of the chaos, Taylor is by day a total boss babe to a mega successful business where she’s a total girl’s girl and by night she is a full-time mommy to a wild crew of boys who keep her nothing but busy.

Emily Price
Emily Price
Wedding Planner

Emily is in fact a local (whoop whoop!), born and raised in Black Mountain, North Carolina. She then went on to attend and graduate from Presbyterian College which is in the heart of Clinton, South Carolina. While attending PC she fostered a love for planning and leadership in her roles as President and VP of Recruitment in her sorority Zeta Tau Alpha.

Emily loves all things fashion, she describes her style as French Girl Chic meets Hampton Casual. Oh and she LOVES the color blue! She is a sucker for a good book, tacos and spicy margs, Harry Styles, and of course a good rom-com. This girl loves love. She calls herself a “Hopeful Romantic” because she thinks hopeless and romantic shouldn't be in the same sentence.

People that know Emily will say her God given talent is how well she connects with people. She loves to talk, make connections, and to brighten up a room. While she may embody the personality of a Golden Retriever, she certainly is straight forward, bold, and downright honest (after all she is a Gemini).

Each and every couple has a special place in her heart, she will without a doubt be standing in the back shedding a tear and smiling with you while watching you say I Do! She's passionate about her work and strives to make a difference in each of her couples lifes.

Whitney Thomason
