Video Review at the Homewood-5 Stars
When it comes to getting online reviews, its always kind of hard to get a review from something that is not easily tangible like music. As you can see when Marisa and Logan gave me their thoughts on their day literally right after the party, the just had a blast! The little small clip is just a tiny fraction of the party!
The Wedding Flow-How does it go?
Great thing that Nikki over at the Homewood is really on top of the game when it comes to weddings. I always know that communication starts way in advance when I ever do parties there. ( Yes we are on the vendor’s list 🙂 As a result, breakdown and timelines always differ from wedding to wedding, you can always count on great communication with Nikki Sciurba with Carolina Love Events The flow is pretty much zoned in on having the most efficiency with a great staff always around when you need them.
Homewood- Top venue in Asheville!
If you like most brides and grooms are shopping for a castle like feel /rustic venue ( this totally my opinion) . Preserved since the 1920’s, this stone manor venue give you the rustic feel and look the most people fall in love with with they step right through the door.The venue prides itself for being in the historic Montford neighborhood.
Just to give a bit of history, In 1904, Dr. Robert Carole migrated to Asheville from Duke University to build Highland Hospital and by 1927 Homewood was built as Dr. Carole’s private home. The English Stone Manor design was influenced heavily by Dr. Carole’s time at Duke University. In time, additions were made to the main house, which included a 1,500 square foot piano room, now know as the Ballroom, wrapped with cherry walls, and a stone turret. When it comes to weddings,It does offer a all inclusive in-house catering with bar services and planning. They have options to add-on floral, design and vintage rental services.
Pictures, Pictures and Pictures- How does it look!
As many weddings are done year round, I have one picture that I feel gives you a sense of Homewood. Better yet check out their Instagram! You will see so many. Here is one my favorites! Why you ask. Courtney and Stacy and they hired me to be their Dj back in November ( there blog review will up soon!) And here is a link to another Video Review at the Homewood-5 Stars with them. 🙂
