I hosted my business’s 10-year anniversary customer appreciation party at Creekside Farm, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue. Megan has truly created something special in Bostic. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail—from the beautifully maintained landscaping to the thoughtfully curated indoor and outdoor spaces—had been designed with care and intention. The barn itself is stunning, with both climate-controlled comfort and expansive outdoor areas that make the most of North Carolina’s natural beauty. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or celebration of any kind, Creekside Farm is the ideal setting. Our event was a smashing success, and much of that is thanks to Megan’s expertise. She is a true professional—detail-oriented, prompt, and incredibly organized. Every aspect of the venue was taken care of seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on our guests and the celebration. We also chose to hire some of Megan’s event staff, and it was absolutely worth it. Having an experienced, capable team ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Megan wears many hats, and somehow she manages to excel in all of them. She is not just a venue owner—she is a dedicated partner in making events truly memorable. Her upbeat energy, professionalism, and passion for ensuring our event’s success made working with her an absolute pleasure. If you’re looking for a venue that is both breathtaking and run by someone who genuinely cares about your experience, look no further than Creekside Farm. It’s a hidden gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

We stayed at The Westin Poinsett Greenville for my daughter's wedding weekend. Our family, the groom's family, and many extended family and friends also stayed at the hotel. In addition to being in the heart of Greenville, the hotel is well-appointed with a sense of southern charm and elegance. Every staff member was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The hotel lobby was a great gathering space for friends and family and the hotel restaurants and bars were easily accessible from the lobby. The hotel rooms and suites were clean, quiet and the views of the city were perfect! Throughout the weekend, we had several beautiful events at The Westin Poinsett including the Bridal Brunch, Wedding Reception and Farewell Breakfast. Each of these events was unique and the food and service were outstanding. By the end of the weekend, we felt like we were friends with the staff. Words cannot express how amazing Sarah Baker and the entire hotel staff were in coordinating and executing these special events. Throughout the planning process for each one, Sarah's communication was highly professional and consistent. She is knowledgeable, accommodating, and organized. Each of our events involved coordinating with a variety of people and everyone commented on how easy she was to work with throughout the process!! Sarah is simply he best!

Milepost 1808 Wedding Venue and Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, the owners were incredibly responsive and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful ambiance both during the day and in the evenings. The gorgeous views of the countryside were the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. When we had to suddenly change venues due to a hurricane, the team at Milepost 1808 worked tirelessly to help us move everything in just one week's time. Their hard work paid off, as our wedding day was truly magical. On top of their exceptional service, Milepost 1808 is also very reasonably priced. We were even able to take our bridal portraits with one of their gorgeous horses, Autumn, and the results were breathtaking. I cannot recommend this venue enough for any couple looking to have an unforgettable wedding day.

As the mother of the bride, I can genuinely say that my daughter's spring wedding at Smithmore Castle was nothing short of a fairytale. From the moment we arrived, the castle's grandeur and charm took our breath away. The stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains provided a picturesque backdrop that made every photo look like it was straight out of a storybook. The staff at Smithmore Castle were exceptional, attending to every detail with such care and precision that we felt like royalty. The ceremony took place in the beautiful courtyard, where the blooming flowers and elegant statues added a touch of natural beauty to the setting. The gentle sounds of the fountain in the background created a serene and magical atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the day. Inside, the reception was held in the magnificent Great Room, with its marble floors, medieval tapestries, and glittering crystal chandeliers. The three-story granite fireplace was a striking centerpiece that added warmth and a sense of history to the celebration. The castle's chefs prepared a feast that delighted all our guests, blending exquisite flavors with impeccable presentation. The highlight of the evening was when my daughter and her new husband retired to the Royal Tower View Suite. The luxurious accommodations and breathtaking views made for an unforgettable start to their new life together. Smithmore Castle exceeded all our expectations, creating memories that we will cherish forever. It was truly a fairytale wedding come to life.

From the moment we started working with Emma at Castle Ladyhawke, we were impressed by their quick, efficient, and warm communication style. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with an authentic, charming feeling that made our wedding day feel truly special. The food was fantastic and despite complications it was a beautiful and magical day. While our initial coordinator, Emma, was great to work with over the 8 months leading up to the wedding, we were disappointed to learn upon arrival that she would not be there on the day. Her replacement, Kelsie, arrived late, did not have our updated documents, failed to communicate with the vendors that there was a space for them on the third floor, and seemed to lack the positive energy and personal responsibility we had come to expect. There were also a few small hiccups, like the arch being set up incorrectly initially. But overall, we had a wonderful, memorable day for us and our guests.
