We were so happy to find this little gem. We searched all over NC, and when we saw the packages available at Chateau Vie we honestly thought it was too good to be true. When we toured, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. The food was amazing, the DJ kept us dancing, and we LOVED our photos (Amir Luna photography!).

Communication with The Gardens At Gray Gables was great. All of our questions were answered promptly, even on the day of our wedding. The space itself was absolutely beautiful - it was literally my dream venue. All of our guests raved about how gorgeous it was, even when it rained and we had to flip everything last minute. The staff was amazing in helping us adjust our plans, and our wedding day ended up being the most amazing day of our lives. I would definitely work with The Gardens At Gray Gables again in the future.
