We selected Brianna as our engagement and wedding photographer, and after completing our engagement…read moreshoot we are beyond happy with that decision. We truly feel confident having her as our photographer and hybrid videographer for our wedding. My fiancé and I had never taken professional photos together before, but Brianna immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease. She guided us through poses in a way that felt natural while also being very open to any ideas or suggestions we had, which made the whole experience fun and stress free. She is also incredibly professional and responsive in all communication, which has been so important to me as a bride planning a wedding without a planner. From scheduling to answering questions, she has been reliable, organized, and easy to work with. We are so excited to have her capture our wedding day and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, supportive, and truly cares about her couples.

She is professional, and her site and portal are great resources and easy to use. She is creative and patient-- and was even able to get great pictures of our cranky little.

Our family photos are stunning and I wish we lived closer to rebook--thank you!

He was…read moreextremely easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we got a lot of beautiful photos. In looking at the photos, it is evident that Greg is very skilled in landscape photography, and found the perfect balance of featuring my husband and I as well as the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We received a wide range of photos!

HIRE BETHANY. I can't express enough how HAPPY I am that Bethany was our wedding photographer. We…read morereceived our sneak peek within 24 hours after our date. (We cried, because they were so beautiful.) Our wedding photos are absolutely GORGEOUS and we are still getting compliments on them! Not only is her photography work INCREDIBLE, but she has such a golden personality! She's so sweet, funny, and so calming. It's not always natural being in front of the camera, but Bethany makes you feel so comfortable. I will forever cherish the moments from our wedding day in our photos that she captured!

Bethany is awesome, hands down. I have known her since high school but this was the first chance I…read moregot to work with her. She was professional. She showed up on time, and finished editing our pictures in around a week. I could tell she was experienced as a photographer because she knew what scenery to look for, and also scouted out our location before we arrived. She was flexible and allowed us to get specific photos we wanted and make suggestions on thoughts that we had. She also managed our hyper dog like a champ and got his attention for some great pictures and was tolerable of him as he was antsy for some of the later pictures. Thanks, Bethany!

We honestly cannot say enough good things about The Barn at Cornerstone and more importantly the…read moreowners Ray and Kim. We booked this venue for our October wedding and we had the most magical, memorable, life changing experience. Kim and Ray really take this wedding hosting thing to a whole new level. Their expertise, professionalism, and involvement in every detail is unmatched. And all paired with such a calm, cool attitude which could soothe the most explosive of volcanoes. Never have I seen such genuine care, and effort taken to ensure the happiness of the couples and their families who have chosen to celebrate their special days with them. The property is absolutely breathtaking. Having everyone stay onsite made for a really special time opportunity to bring our families together. Ray and Kim really do provide a beautiful setting and experience. One which encouraged strangers to become friends and friends to become family. As previously mentioned we cannot say enough good things about this venue, the people and the good vibes that were felt all around. Ray and Kim - welcome to our family!!

We had an outdoor wedding with 100 guests planned for my daughter May 12, 2017 in Boone, NC. As…read morethe forecast grew more and more grim for that day, we had to make the decision to change venues three days before the wedding. I came across The Barn at Cornerstone and contacted Kim immediately. I was stressed and in full panic mode but as soon as I talked to her she began putting me at ease. She explained that although the Barn was not quite completed she would do anything in her power to help make this work. The day I visited her, the barn had no electricity. We talked through it and decided to rent a generator. The barn was still in progress but was already beautiful and rustic and I could envision something truly special there. Kim and her husband, Ray, worked tirelessly and two days later when we arrived to decorate and rehearse, the Barn not only had electricity but beautiful chandeliers were hung. We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner outdoors at the lodge that evening. The setting was gorgeous and the grounds were lovely. Ray continued working on the barn up until the afternoon of the wedding and Kim attended to every detail and also coordinated with my caterer. She took so much work and worry off my hands and allowed me to enjoy every moment. We ended up having the most beautiful, intimate wedding that evening. Rain fell heavy on the roof of the barn as they took their vows. It was absolutely magical. I know that once the barn is complete it will be one of the best venues around. There are beautiful venues everywhere but you will be hard pressed to find people like Kim and Ray. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

They brought the dance floor and tents and chairs the afternoon before we needed them, set everything up for us, (The fans were huge! and made such a big difference in the comfort of the crowd!) and then came back the day after the party, to remove everything, without a trace.

The flowers were picked up and arranged by us the day before our wedding. We followed the guidelines provided by Shady Grove and the flowers worked beautifully.

I would highly recommend Shady Grove.
