Are you military? Then Sleepy Hollow doesn't want your business…read more We were looking at Sleepy Hollow Inn and Event Center yesterday as a potential wedding venue. We are a military couple and already married (eloped), but want to have a "real deal" wedding for our friends and family. We were drawn to SH because of their cheap, "all inclusive" packages. They have upfront pricing and a strong web presence. We went up to Swannanoa to meet with Danrae, the owner and coordinator, and tour the site. We arrived before her and poked around to get a feel for the site. Unfortunately, the highway noise was unbelievably loud throughout the small property. My wife wanted to veto the venue altogether, but I said that we should wait for Danrae and give it a fair shot. When she showed up, we asked her what others had done about the noise. She claimed that no one had ever mentioned it (but it's so loud!) and that the officiant would have a mic. She gave us a tour of the rooms and property, and everything is pretty, but smaller than the online photos would have you believe. It is truly, truly compact. When she sat us down to discuss the packets, the meeting took a turn for the worst. We told her that we were looking for October 2016, but that we couldn't set a date for at least another month. We weren't asking her to hold a date for us or anything -- just saying that we couldn't put a deposit down yesterday. We promised to get back to her in a couple of weeks. She told us that she "hesitated" to book us for a desirable October weekend *at all* because we were military and "who knows" what the military would do. That's right: She didn't want to book us because of the military. Despite how friendly their site looks towards military and how much they seem to support it, she would prefer someone with more stability to book her venue. She said that she could book the October weekends "ten times over" to people who wouldn't get deployed or pulled on a mission, and that she would be taking a big chance on us. This is no way to honor a veteran's service -- by "hesitating" to let them spend their money on your business. When I pointed out that my wife was *serving our country*, Danrae said that she didn't mean to offend me. Well, of course she offended me. And it should offend you, too.

My cousin rented out the entire venue for his wedding…read more The Sleepy Hollow Inn was very cozy and warm. I loved being able to spend time with my whole extended family in the same place. It was very intimate (versus staying at a hotel where there are other people outside of the bride and groom's friends and family). The house was filled with antique-style furnishings. It felt very cabin-like. I love that the area was secluded far away from polluted and noisy cities. The surrounding nature was nothing short of breathtaking. There were a few creeks nearby. I went for a run in the morning with some family members and it was just wonderful! The location is great for a getaway. There is a large, green lawn outside separating the house from a pond nearby. The pond is filled with fish and has a fountain spouting from the center. In front of the pond is a pretty, white gazebo where the bride and groom were married. I loved the reception area (which was a separate building where guests could eat dinner and dance after the wedding ceremony). It had a cabin-like atmosphere as well and was very spacious. At the rehearsal dinner, there was a big dinner laid out for us in the dining room. I am not sure if Sleepy Hollow Inn catered the dinner. The dinner consisted of heavy southern foods: Beans, hush puppies, sliced tomatoes, potato salad, dinner rolls, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken. Appetizers: Cheesy spinach dip with crackers, deviled eggs. Beverages: Iced (sweet) tea, wine, beer. The food was delicious but not the healthiest choices. I felt uncomfortably sluggish afterwards, but I enjoyed myself while eating the food. The place has a continental breakfast. The continental breakfast on the first morning (which was on a Saturday) was very mediocre. Breakfast choices included cereals, milk, juice, fruit and different kinds of bagels (along with cream cheese, butter and jam). The breakfast choices on the second morning (Sunday) were far better. I like hot foods in the morning. They served sausages, eggs, potatoes and pancakes. There was also fruits and juice. As for the dinner on the night of the wedding ceremony, the appetizers were buffalo chicken wings, meatballs (so delicious), and spinach-and-cheese stuffed mushroom caps. Dinner consisted of macaroni and cheese, salad with dressing (some kind of vinaigrette), chicken with creamy sause, pork chops, mashed potatoes. I enjoyed the appetizers more than the dinner itself. Beverages: three selections of beer, three selections of wine, sweet tea. The staff was very kind and seemed eager to accommodate (though not easily reachable in the off hours). I had several complaints: In my room (the Hydrangea room), the bed stunk so bad. I thought the sheets were not washed, but I took off the sheets and I realized the source of the stench was the mattress. It smelled as though it were soaked with old sweat or as if a dead body was sewn into the mattress. It was absolutely terrible! I slept there the first night (it was too late and I was not sure who I was supposed to talk to about that problem, as the staff had seemed to retire for the night). My sister and I slept in my parent's room the second night. The plumbing could use some work (especially the bathroom beside the Hydrangea room). It was really hard to flush things down the toilet. The bathrooms did not feel as clean as a hotel.

Celebrated a 60th birthday here and the reason behind this being the location is super cool. My…read moreboyfriend's sister's wedding was supposed to be at the Country Club of Asheville and it was cancelled due to Covid. They still allowed them to use the space the following year being this year so we celebrated his mom's 60th. I'm so happy we used the space in December because the Christmas decor was BEAUTIFUL. The photos don't even do it justice! Food was also phenomenal. We got options of steak or salmon and I chose salmon. It was perfectly flavored and the scallops on the side were so cheesy, flaky, soft, and delicious. I also tried the steak and it had gravy on top so it reminded me more of deer meat and I wasn't blown away by it, however it was good. The dessert was chocolate molten lava cake with strawberry on the side and just trust me when I say it was the best dessert of my life. It was so rich so there was no way I could have finished it without feeling sick so I only ate half. My favorite part about the cake is that the top was hard and crusted and the second you go to take a bite, you find the soft center with the chocolate lava that spills out. How I imagine the sweets in heaven lol. The service was incredible and so were the drinks. I ordered a moscow mule and it was good. I also got a mojito and I'm so used to places telling me they are out of mint so I was surprised when I ordered it and they had all the ingredients. It was super well made and tasted great. Such a nice place for a birthday celebration and I bet the weddings here are nothing short of perfection. The location, view, staff, food, etc. is all incredible. I hope I have a reason to come back here one day!

The market space is tastefully decorated and the attention to detail is very apparent. The mezzanine level has beautiful exposed brick, wood ceiling beams, and a fantastic chandelier giving the space the most romantic atmosphere. My husband and I seriously cannot stop talking about how beautiful the reception and cocktail spaces were, and many guests have told us that it was one of the most beautiful weddings!! Additionally, the separation between the cocktail space and the dinner/dancing area was wonderful. My husband and I were living in Scotland while planning our wedding so the first time we saw The Venue was the weekend of our wedding and we were just so impressed!! Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be and more in large part due to this beautiful venue. The food was DELICIOUS!!! I have been to many weddings, and without a doubt, this was the best meal I have had at a wedding. To be honest, it's one of the best meals I've had. All of the staff was so kind, professional, and attentive to our needs. Deandra was AMAZING-- so on top of it and made sure everything was where it needed to be, that guests were given the correct meals and that we were happy!! Maddison with The Planning was so helpful throughout our planning process and was a FANTASTIC day of coordinator. We did not experience a single hiccup in our day--everything was absolutely perfect. My husband and I keep saying that we wish we could have been guests at our own wedding just so we could experience it from their perspective! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I just played a wedding there. Hardly anyone wore a mask. It was like a frat party. When I asked…read morethe hostess why they weren't enforcing the mask and distance guidelines set up by the governor, she just shrugged. Seriously? I did have a good mask on and stayed in the corner a good distance from everyone, but when I saw the cocktail party and everyone screaming and shouting and no masks, I left early. I hope I am safe, but I will not be surprised two weeks from now if half of the staff is sick because they weren't wearing masks either. I don't care how convenient a place is and what their service is like. When you put money over lives, it's disgusting and immoral.

One year after the last 5 star review, it's a pleasure to leave another. Only wish there were more…read morestars. Yesterday, my partner held a rehearsal party at the Reverie for her son's upcoming wedding. In this otherwise busy urban section of Lexington Ave, a group of unrelated building structures have come together to form an garden oasis that has been designed and manicured to form a wonderful event space. One couldn't ask for a better indoor/outdoor space. We were so blessed to have mild sunny weather for the entire event; every area of the beautifully decorated venue was embraced and appreciated by our 30+ guests; their complements were effusive. It is a space, however, which can handle many more. The air-conditioned, nicely stocked indoor bar, feast table(s), photo-booth, and sitting area rounded out a truly perfect event venue. But wait, it doesn't stop there. Abbey and staff exemplify a management team that is friendly, helpful and proactive. Abbey was always present on the scene offering to assist in every way possible. We sent her the music list in advance and she took care of the sound system including a microphone was crisp and clear. It was clear that everyone including staff had an enjoyable time. My partner had a vision of what she wanted, Abbey fulfilled it. Our feast table theme was Spanish tapas; 67 Biltmore catering executed our curated menu to a T. Individual dessert servings of fresh fruit shortcakes were provided by Reverie. Reverie also have a full kitchen space if wants an all-in-one option. The outdoor space has an area with a raised plateau (stage) which was excellent for the rehearsal practice and could be utilized in many creative ways. There are many parking options in walking distance, including street meter parking. I wish I had taken some pictures but was too involved in event. Abbey has wonderful pics on the website.
