Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a venue partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

We had the wedding of our dreams at the Notch House on 6.20.26! Since our first visit back in November of 2024, we knew this place was special. The location, the beautiful and rustic barn, the rich landscape on the property and the breathtaking view of Mt Pisgah & Lake Willoughby were incredible. And the support we received from Kelly & team was fantastic - she truly felt like part of the family. The Notch House is an absolutely perfect venue to have a wedding that is 100% unique to you as a couple. We stayed three nights at the Big House, carriage house, cabins and apartment on the property with 28 of our family members and closest friends which made the weekend even more special The rest ...

We spent 2 years debating how and where we wanted to get married. The first time we visited The Notch House, we were so excited by it but not quite ready to commit, however, we continued our search for another year until we realized that we would never find anything comparable. We are so happy we did because there is absolutely no doubt in our minds that The Notch House was the perfect place to create our dream wedding weekend. The accommodations were ideal for our extended family and wedding party - we had 18 people stay onsite comfortably but the spaces can fit even more. Being able to keep our closest loved ones on-site for the entire celebration, made the whole weekend feel intimate and...

The Notch House is in a stunning location…all of it, the historic house, the apartment, the cottage, all tucked by the shores of Lake Willoughby, the grounds, the details.... It was perfect for those of us staying onsite and for wedding guests. It was beautiful in the late fall and I can only imagine what it is like in full bloom. The photos don’t do it justice. We had a blast! That dining room table is perfect - perfect for rehearsal dinner, perfect for arranging flowers, perfect for the bridal party to catch their breath…we had a fire every evening in the living room fieldstone fireplace and the kitchen had no problem handling the hungry hoards! The barn. Stunning. It sports all the bell...

My husband and I just had our wedding at the Notch House on June, Friday the 13th 2025. We got an unbelievable amount of compliments from everyone on how absolutely gorgeous the venue was and the garden our ceremony was in with the flowers and butterflies and hummingbirds flying around, we really couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue. The pictures we got at the lake with our photographer, Arielle Thomas, are unbelievable as well and the path down isn't too long. We highly recommend the Notch House!!
