I have nothing bad to say about this venue. All communication we had with them was efficient, professional, and helpful. They were ready to help with everything we needed and met all that we were looking for. Everyone invited was in love with the cottage and the venue space. I think the weekend package is an incredible deal and was absolutely worth it. The space itself was everything that I had dreamed of and it all came together so beautifully.

Belle's Venue and Farms was THE perfect venue choice for our wedding. From the very beginning, Brittany was so helpful and supportive as she guided us through the planning process. Viewing the venue, asking questions, signing contracts and making payments was always a breeze! Brittany truly has a gift. Every time I visited the venue, she had her iPad ready to take detailed notes which she would share with me- (even if I changed my mind a couple times hehe...) She was so attentive to any questions I had and I could tell she really cares about making a couples wedding day visions come to life. Belle's is truly a budget friendly, all-in-one venue without sacrificing quality. There are a few ceremony options, including inside, to fit any couples preference. All of the available decor were all great quality and went so well with the aesthetic of the venue. The venue and property are STUNNING- (I wasn't going to add photos here because the website speaks for itself!!) Gorgeous farm tables and chairs, aesthetic lightning inside and out and you can't beat the location. It's truly a small-town farm oasis with endless spots for photos! We are so beyond grateful to Brittany and her team at Belle's Venue and Farms for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend enough! Please at least book a tour here! You won't be disappointed!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Village Pine Venue. Due to the hurricane damages in NC, I had to completely replan our wedding 10 days before it happened. Melissa from Village Pine was eager to help us out and quickly helped us get booked and started on choosing new vendors. Village pine is an absolutely beautiful venue with a wonderful space for all things (bridal getting ready, grooms getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc.). This venue is a stunning space with outrageously helpful staff and I am so glad to have had my wedding here. I cannot recommend them enough.

We had an intimate backyard style wedding at Manjal Space and it was phenomenal! The venue was recently renovated inside so there was so much space and there are built in speakers/lights. The outdoor patio was large enough to seat 70 guests (rectangular tables) and even then there was space from the walkway starting at the patio to the barn. The venue has 3 spaces total: large indoor space, large outdoor patio, and an entire barn! We used all of them for my event since they were a few steps away. There are even string lights on the patio, inside the barn, and outside the barn giving it a nice ambiance. The host, Hari, is the easiest to work with and so sweet. He responds quickly and tends to all your needs as much as possible. I felt like my wedding would not have been as smooth if it weren’t for Hari’s dedication into making sure we had everything we needed. He was able to move certain furniture we needed out and came to the venue to meet with my planner on his own time! I am so happy I chose Manjal Space for my event and I recommend anyone who is considering any special events to book with Hari at Manjal Space, you will not be disappointed!
