We got married in January, and chose the venue pretty quickly. One huge draw besides the obvious charm and scenery was the fact that there were so many decorations available to use already at the venue. Yvonne and Ashleigh at Aurora are WONDERFUL to work with, too. They were on top of everything and the day of our wedding was so smooth and easy. I never felt like I had anything to worry or stress about as far as the venue was concerned. I used Ashleigh for her day-of coordinator services, and it is one of my most highly-recommended things to do! She put a timeline and everything together for us without me having to stress. You will not regret using Aurora!

​The barn has been built from the ground up by Craig Carpenter, his brother Timmy Carpenter and other family and friends. Many of the trees use to build the barn were harvested from their property and were prepared at their saw mill on site. The idea for a wedding venue began was a dream of their daughter, now Zimmerwald's Estate manager Katie Carpenter White. What began as a simple dream and a sketch on a piece of notebook paper, has now become a reality. We are extremely excited to be a place where beautiful family memories can be made and couples can begin their happily ever after!

Zimmerwald Estate Barn and Grainery LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was clear, professional, and concise - they were always on point and easy to work with, even remaining calm throughout the process. The quality of their work was simply amazing - the venue was absolutely beautiful, and we felt we received incredible value for the price. Katie was particularly wonderful, as she was spot on with executing our vision for the day. The entire Zimmerwald family made us feel like part of their own, and they have truly become a part of our wedding story. We couldn't be happier with our decision to host our special day at Zimmerwald Estate Barn and Grainery LLC.

We planned our Greenville, SC wedding from Los Angeles (our home). We knew we wanted to work with Revel because we both used to go to shows here when it was the Handlebar. Brittiany and her team were a joy to work with. If you're looking to plan your own wedding - as we did - their day of coordinator was fabulous! The space was stunning and we really enjoyed transforming it to fit our vision. There's plenty of space for a dinner, dancefloor and it's perfectly set up for a live band. Highly recommend booking your wedding or next big event with Revel.

The Venue at Falls Park

Greenville, SC

  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

From saying your vows in our intimate downtown Greenville outdoor ceremony area to your banquet in our elegant 4000 sq. ft. wedding hall, we will make your wedding an occasion to remember! Our picture perfect setting is just the beginning. Whether a grand celebration or an intimate affair, The Venue at Falls Park will attend to every detail of your entire event so you can relax and focus on enjoying your friends and family gathering together. Allow our professional staff to guide you in creating an event that is a true reflection of your distinctive style. Our staff combines the best tradition of Southern service, hospitality, and friendliness, ensuring that all of the details will come together to create a stress-free experience. We offer a full-spectrum of services and are ready to customize your event’s special needs and requests.

The Venue at Falls Park is a gorgeous and intimate location for a wedding, and the included options made for our perfect blend of convenience and DIY personalization. Our coordinator and her team were excellent on the day of our wedding, and her flower arrangements were incredible. She communicated with our vendors and ran a smooth rehearsal - having her venue coordinator services included with the venue allowed the whole family to enjoy the day. However, the communication between us leading up to the event was frustratingly full of errors and added a lot of stress. At the end of the day, we had a beautiful wedding. The venue has a wonderful floorplan and flow, and all the amenities we could have asked for. Having the bridal suite onsite made our timeline very relaxed, and the coordinator clearly has a great working relationship with other vendors in Greenville. The location downtown was great for our guests, and we were able to take photos down by the river. We are so glad we had our wedding at The Venue at Falls Park.

The Cotton Loft 

5.0

Clinton, SC
  • Up to 700 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

A group of professional caterers and hospitality employees envisioned an event space like no other. A space vast enough to hold large events without compromising the ambiance and charm of a quaint family gathering. A place rich in history with significant ties to our communities. We were lead to an aging, almost forgotten piece of our past. The old Cotton Depot in Clinton SC quietly sat on the edge of downtown. The building spoke to us, 17,000 square feet of handmade brick each telling a story, 11ft ceilings with exposed beams, arched windows and wide planked floors. We immediately began designing the space. Through our catering experience we knew the need for easy access, a good flow and having conveniently located facilities. We also knew the importance of having multifunctioning spaces that can be dressed up or down to make each event uniquely yours. From the most elegant affair to down home country charm, Cotton Loft is merely a canvas. The picture we paint is yours.

My husband and I got married at The Cotton Loft in June 2023 and it was an absolute dream! Star was super accommodating with our limited schedules (we planned our wedding from out-of-state) and did everything she could to make it the perfect day! Star also provided the catering & bar services for our day and our guests raved about the food, the space- Everything was perfect. If you’re thinking about getting married at The Cotton Loft, it’s 100% worth it!

Robin and her staff (shoutout to Jenn!) were PHENOMENAL to work with and my husband and I felt very well taken care of throughout the process. The space was perfect for what we needed, the mountain in the background makes for a lovely wedding backdrop, and they are top tier at what they do. They also have a lot of great working relationships with vendors in the area, which I think made life easier too. I cannot recommend them highly enough for your wedding (or other event quite frankly). Wedding planning can be so stressful, and Robin helped ease my mind on so many things. Both Robin and Jenn went above and beyond on SO many items for us the day of, and I'm so very grateful. Thank you, ladies!

She was very communicative with us and our bridal party/family so that everyone knew what was expected from them for the ceremony.

Not only did I not have to really decorate the space because it's SO gorgeous, my guests cannot stop commenting on the magical atmosphere of the ceremony space. It's nestled below a gorgeous 1800's house, along a creek, and is so green and lush in the spring and summer. I bet fall weddings would be stunning too! We got married May 3rd. The owners are the sweetest and so wonderful to work with. I want to relive this day again and again!

Trailside Brewery is a fantastic venue with a rich history and modern amenities. The combination of historical charm, convenient location along the Ecusta Trail, close to Downtown Hendersonville, also offers a variety of event spaces makes it an appealing choice for hosting weddings and other gatherings. The two separate buildings, "The Grove" Events space and Listening room, and the Trailside Brewing and Tasting Room, offer diverse options for events of different sizes and styles. Our large beer garden adds a cozy and inviting touch, creating a comfortable atmosphere for guests to socialize. With ample free parking spaces, large bathrooms, and a short hike to downtown Hendersonville, Trailside Brewery seems to prioritize guest convenience and accessibility. Overall, the combination of historical significance, modern facilities, full bar and brewery, and the scenic location makes Trailside Brewery a unique and attractive venue for various events, especially weddings.

We had our reception at Trailside this past Fall of 2023. The day of, everything went perfectly. We were given ample time to set up, freedom to move around in the space, and ability to utilize it as we saw fit. The venue usually has live music, but they booked an acoustic band, which set up in the main dining area of the brewery. Our reception was able to play its own music, from speakers we brought, and not feel impacted from the live music going on for the rest of the patrons. Our event did not co-mingle too much with the general public; however there was a couple people that drifted in and we politely asked them to leave. As stated above, our overall day of was all we could have wanted and more. The days leading up to our reception were very stressful due to renovations that weren't quite ready for our event. Since we were the first party in this space, we had to bare the growing pains, which Trailside tried to accommodate for as much as possible. I believe since we were the "test" party, this team will grow from the experience. All in all, our reception day was all we could have wanted and more, so when it came down to the wire, the team delivered.
