It really couldn't have been a more perfect experience from the point of view of the groom's parents : ) I wish I had the chef's name - the food was excellent! The bride and groom were able to select menu items in advance during a tasting and the items served at the event did not disappoint. Everything exceeded expectations! The servers were very safety conscious and were masked and careful about serving and presentation. The venue was beautiful. It accurately describedon the website, "The Laurel Room at High Vista offers a stunning panoramic view of the Blue Ridge mountains in all directions through a room wrapped in windows and balconies. The interior has a timeless A-frame wood beam construction, vaulted ceilings, and expansive stone fireplace." For our son's wedding, he and his bride selected the rain or shine option of an outdoor wedding under a tent - an elegant solution that was perfect for wedding guests to stay safe and enjoy the ceremony. We moved downstairs to the Robinson Pub for the cocktail hour and again, guests could enjoy the pub or remain outdoors at tables. We moved to the Laurel Room for the toasts, food, music and dancing. Once again, with open doors and windows and access to the wrap-around balcony and patio, guests were able to safely mask indoors as needed and enjoy dining in the fresh air as chosen. The servers were professional considerate and responsive. It is hard to say enough about the wonderful wedding experience at the Laurel Room! If you are considering a venue with amazing views, safe options and even easy parking, you have found the perfect wedding place. Thanks Liz and colleagues for an evening that was enjoyed by all and will be an amazing memory for a lifetime!

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.

It was the perfect setting for our woodsy, romantic ceremony. The tree-lined path was my favorite spot on the entire property! We had our ceremony outside with a beautiful view of the mountains, which was absolute perfection. Our reception was held in the big wooden hall that was set up so beautifully. Our guests absolutely loved this venue! We received so many compliments saying it was one of the best wedding venues they've been to. I am so thankful for Arik, the venue manager, who was extremely accommodating and so kind to us, our familiars and all of our vendors. The staff at Yesterday Spaces are professional and helpful. I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day because they had it covered. I really appreciated Arik's willingness to work with me and my planner since I was planning my wedding from out of town. He always made time to talk with us, answer our questions and help provide solutions to make our vision come to life. I highly recommend Yesterday Spaces!

Not part of her job but just an example of how she goes out of her way to ensure customer satisfaction. Highly recommend :)
