An Elevated Western NC Wedding Weekend
Refined spaces, layered with intention.
The experience begins the moment you reach out. From that first conversation, our team moves quietly behind the scenes so you can move through your day with ease.
Hospitality That Holds You
Here, modern design meets mountain air. Hospitality is not a gesture. It is the framework. Every choice – from the covered chapel that removes rain worries to the walkable flow connecting ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception – exists to keep you present.
You’ll feel it the moment you arrive. Light through glass. The hum of a team in quiet rhythm. Laughter on the patio that needs no direction. Nothing feels rushed because every detail was built to move with purpose.
Chestnut Ridge was created for couples who want more than beautiful photographs. You want presence, peace, and a celebration that feels grounded in both design and ease. That’s what we deliver: thoughtful structure, flexible options, and hospitality that holds the day from morning to midnight.
Love Notes from CR Couples
“We are so happy we had our wedding at Chestnut Ridge. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff did an amazing job setting up for our wedding day bringing our vision to life- they have a great staff that makes this happen and it is well worth every penny. We wanted a venue that was in the mountains with a special ceremony spot that could be closed off in the event of rain. We highly recommend this venue and their full team!!”
– Caitlin, The Knot
Designed for Connection

Crafted for Moments That Matter
Our work lives between preparation and presence. From the way light fills the chapel to the way guests move through the evening, each moment is guided by intention. Our team anticipates quietly so all you have to do is live inside it.

Kind Words
It is our absolute honor to bring our clients’ dream day to life with passion and professionalism. And nothing makes us happier than hearing we’ve exceeded expectations.
The Perfect Venue for Our Dream Wedding! When we saw CR online, we knew this was the venue for us, and after touring, we had no doubt!
The only thing I’m sad about is that we won’t get to talk with the CR team anymore; they all became such an important part of our lives.
We would recommend them to anyone. We’d dreamed of our daughter’s wedding for years and it couldn’t have gone better.
