    Best decision we made was choosing Laurel Ridge! TEN STARS!.

    Hosting our wedding ceremony and reception at Laurel Ridge Country Club was one of the BEST decisions that my husband and I could have made!! Not only was the venue gorgeous both inside and out, but the grounds were immaculate, the food was DELICIOUS, the service was excellent, and everything was customized to create the (150 attendee) wedding of our dreams.
    Holly Smith (LRCC’s Director of Catering and Events) was AMAZING! After touring several venues, it was Holly’s warm and inviting personality, responsiveness, wedding knowledge, and genuine excitement for my then-fiancé and I that led us to choose Laurel Ridge. I would highly recommend Laurel Ridge Country Club to any bride looking for an all-inclusive ceremony and reception venue, with views and photo-ops that will leave your guests in awe!

    Get married at laurel ridge

    My husband and I recently got married here.
    We are from Florida and Holly made the wedding planning experience so easy! I was so worried with how everything would come together and it truly came out amazing! The staff is so wonderful and personable. We had our ceremony at the Arbor and reception in the Piedmont room.
    The food was so delicious! We chose the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes and the parmesan crusted salmon. Everyone complimented the food and how amazing the venue was.
    It's been almost a month since we got married at Laurel Ridge. We are still on cloud nine with how perfectly the day went. Us and our guests continue to talk about our wedding to this day!
    We already miss Holly and the amazing staff.
    We plan on making a trip back up soon to see everyone! Thank you Laurel Ridge for creating the best day ever!!

    Exceptional experience

    Our daughter was married in June 2023 at Laurel Ridge County Club. The venue’s mountain & golf course views are absolutely spectacular! Several different ceremony & reception sites are available to choose from. We chose an outdoor wedding by the arbor, just steps away from the indoor reception. The rustic, high, open ceilings with stone fireplace dining room was gorgeous with incredible views from all the windows. The food was delicious. The wait staff was very attentive and welcoming to all. We had the pleasure of working with Holly Smith, the event coordinator. She was so very helpful throughout the entire process. She always made the time to sit down with us and answered any questions we might have. She shared so many wonderful ideas that we incorporated to make the day so special. She maintained communication throughout the nine months of planning via phone calls & emails as well. Holly also shared a list of preferred vendors that helped make the planning process much easier. The entire day was flawless. We continue to receive compliments from guests saying it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended!

    The perfect Venue for our perfect day

    The Laurel Ridge Country club was not only a spectacular wedding venue, but the even coordination team was outstanding! We had the pleasure of working with Holly Smith who made sure the planning leading up to the wedding was as perfect as the day itself. Holly went above and beyond on several occasions to make sure our special day was perfect. It should be highlighted that there was a chance of rain on our wedding day and the Laurel Ridge event team was both willing and able to work with us on any last minute accommodations. Thankfully we didn't need to exercise our back up plan but knowing that we had one made the day so much less stressful. We couldn't have been happier with our overall experience! The food and drinks were outstanding and the servers were 5 star. We've received so many compliments about everything at our wedding and we owe a lot of that to Laurel Ridge and Holly!

    We cannot image having our special day anywhere else!

    Laurel Ridge was everything we hoped for in a wedding venue! We had a winter wedding and were looking for a mountain lodge when searching for a venue. Laurel Ridge captured all of that with the huge stone fireplace, wooden floors, lodge chairs and not to mention the floor to ceiling windows with the mountain views! It was spectacular and perfect for our winter mountain wedding! Holly was fantastic, so helpful and genuinely cared about the details and making sure our day went smoothly! The meal was incredible, and the guests were simply "wowed" by the day. We cannot imagine having our special day anywhere else! Thank you, Laurel Ridge!

    Amazing, Incredible, Beautiful, More Than I Dreamed!!

    No words to explain how amazing everything was here! I was originally pulled in by the building design/décor and antler chandeliers. I didn't want to have a destination wedding so I didn't want to like it but the second I saw this venue, I was hooked. It is the most stunning place so I was expecting everything else to be subpar. NOPE The food was outstanding and the people there were so incredible. They don't treat you like just another bride, you feel like you are buds with them by the end of it. Everyone there was incredible. Holly was who I dealt with the most and she was the best to be around! She kept me calm and laughing all day and made sure me and my family had everything that we needed.

    I got so many compliments on how nice everyone was, how amazing the food was and how completely stunning the venue was. I could not have picked a better place for our wedding. It was my dream design/look and will recommend it to anyone who will listen. Going to miss hanging with the Laurel Ridge crew!!

    Highly recommend Laurel Ridge for wedding ceremonies

    Holly and the Laurel Ridge staff will ensure that your wedding day gives you awesome life-long memories. They are professional, responsive, helpful and provide the best support imaginable throughout planning, execution and after ceremony cleanup. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Many in attendance said that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to!

    Idyllic Venue, Superb Staff

    Holly as their coordinator was professional, warm, helpful and always available to answer questions for us through the planning process. Lauren Ridge is a gorgeous space and we were so pleased as we utilized all the spaces. Our guests had a splendid time! I highly recommend Lauren Ridge CC! Staff team was exceptional. Holly was onsite the entire day and evening communicating well and making sure all went smoothly. The event went beautifully and as the mother of the bride I was so pleased it was as our daughter dreamed!

    Magical wedding

    Laurel Ridge was the perfect venue for my daughter’s wedding and reception. It offers beautiful indoor/outdoor settings. From the passed hors d’oeuvres to the plated dinner the food was sumptuous. Holly was always available to answer any questions and helped make the evening a success. I would highly recommend booking your event here.

    Laurel Ridge Country Club's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, your family was such a delight to get to know! Lauren and Owen are such a wonderful couple, and we genuinely enjoyed having your family here over the weekend. Please keep in touch, and thank you for everything!

    Best. Wedding. Ever.

    We had the most wonderful wedding at Laurel Lane Country Club on 6/18/2022 with 110 guests. Dale was super accommodating throughout the process. We came just to try the food before picking Laurel Lane officially and the food was phenomenal. Jose cooks large portions with fantastic quality. The steak was by far a favorite, and the pasta aioli was also fabulous. Dale kept in touch by email and phone call throughout the planning process. She was helpful in lending centerpiece materials and providing insight.
    Our guests had a fabulous time and raved about the location. The greenery of the golf course outside was perfect, especially towards sunset. Dale recommended a location for outdoor pictures, which turned out to be great with a small garden and archway on the course. The wrap around porch was great to take a break from dancing, take pictures with the beautiful greenery in the background, and chat with guests.
    Dale closed Rudy's Bar and Grille - the restaurant for the golf course - earlier in the day so our guests would be able to use the bar area for the cocktail hour. The bartenders were attentive, and diligent about ensuring guests were okay.
    The reception area was phenomenally put together. The staff laid the tablecloths, napkins, silverware, and bread plates beforehand so we could add our special centerpiece touches the night before the wedding. This was helpful in making the day of the wedding less stressful. My mother-in-law was able to come by and put together last minute decorations on-site.
    The actual reception was great in terms of timing, drinks, the food was phenomenal (I thoroughly enjoyed my sirloin steak, potatoes, and green beans), and the staff was very attentive to guests.
    Thank you for such an amazing experience and for all of the support throughout the process!

    Wonderful Venue

    I can not say enough about Laurel Ridge and their event staff! They are amazing to work with! I am at different venues every weekend and see the difference in the staff at LR! Holly and her team go above and beyond to make a special day for their clients and vendor teams!
    We wish we could be there every weekend!

    WOW. Incredible venue.

    My husband and I both could not emphasize enough how much we loved getting married at LRCC. So many of our guests kept asking how we found such a beautiful place. The food and the decor was amazing. We had rain all day and though we had to go with plan C (maybe it was plan Z, the bride gets spared a lot of details) I couldn’t have asked for a better alternative - in fact, I think it was more “us” anyways. I hope to go back one day!

    Laurel Ridge Country Club's reply:

    Thank you Natalie and Andrew! Your preparedness and attention to detail leading up to your special day certainly helped pave the way for a lovely event. Thank you for being so gracious and for enjoying yourselves even in the rain! Best to both of you!

    Awesome experience

    Danielle at Laurel Ridge was the best to work with on my daughters wedding! I honestly couldn’t have did it without her. She answered every call/email and worked hard on every detail before and especially the day of the wedding to make sure it was a day to remember! She is very coordinated, knowledgeable and professional but also very personable. Danielle goes above and beyond! The food was amazing as well! Laurel Ridge is absolutely beautiful and many offered compliments on our wedding venue Choice .

    Best Wedding Venue Ever!

    I couldn’t imagine any other venue than Laurel Ridge to host my wedding ceremony AND reception! The venue was by far the most complimented part of the day. I chose to go without a wedding planner, and with the help of Danielle, we pulled this off in about 5 months - and it was flawless! Danielle goes above and beyond for her clients. She caught every detail, thought, and idea and executed them flawlessly. The food was AMAZING and I went with a very simple menu - house salad, chicken, vegetables, and rolls. Laurel Ridge handles all tables, chairs, linens, and even extra items like vases and sparklers, which helped a ton. Our pictures turned out amazing, and it doesn’t even do the venue justice! I can’t say enough about this venue and the staff - thank you for the perfect day!

    Diamond in the Mountains

    Laurel Ridge is seriously one the most amazing mountain venues in the entire Asheville and surrounding area! The outside gives you all the feels of a destination wedding that transports your guests to another world. The inside is just as amazing with their upscale lodge inspired ballroom! Holly is a gem to deal with! She is there for you every step of the way and the event staff was nothing short of awesome! Check them out if you are a potential bride and hopefully you are lucky enough to get a date!!!!!

    The venue staff members

    The staff was amazing & so accommodating the whole entire time we were there (4 days). The food for the rehearsal dinner and wedding was delicious. I want to especially say that Danielle venue planner was very helpful throughout the 8 months that we worked with her. She went above and beyond what was asked of her service and was always so pleasant. She was honest and not once did we ever feel that she was not there to help us with anything. She was always checking in with us during the rehearsal dinner, bridal luncheon, and wedding. Before the actual weekend of the wedding she was very prompt with correspondence to us. She was very professional and always made us feel at ease. Thank you Danielle.

    Shell and his staff were amazing too. We were fortunate to be able to stay in the rooms on site and they were amazing. A staff member was always there to help if we ever needed anything. The service once again was excellent.

    Also, Shell was very helpful

    Best Day Ever

    Wow- where to even start? Danielle and staff are amazing to work with! They are responsive and heard all of our desires and was able to make it happen!

    The food was incredible and people are still calling us over a week later just to rave about the venue and the menu!

    If we have any event needs we would absolutely use LRCC again!
