    I cannot recommend Claxton Farm enough!!

    We knew this was the venue of our dreams without even touring the facility! We could not have asked for more beautiful scenery or a more professional and accommodating staff. Miss Jackie literally made our wedding day a seamless, stress free experience. We would chose Claxton over and over again!

    Claxton Farm is an idyllic wedding setting

    Our daughter's wedding at Claxton Farm was absolutely gorgeous. The scenery, the barn, everything together made for a fairytale setting for a perfect evening. We loved working with Emily on planning the event, and the team did a fantastic job.

    The best location and venue for your special day!

    Having our wedding at Claxton Farms was perfect and beautiful! Everything from the planning and organizing, to the actual day of our ceremony and reception there was perfect and so easy going. Emily, the sales representative, was AMAZING! She was great about quickly communicating and answering every question that we had during the planning process. She was very helpful and very sweet. She really made the planning and timeline easily understandable and clear. I cannot thank her enough for her awesome communication and transparency.

    Once it came down to our wedding weekend, I do not have one bad thing to say. We did our rehearsal at Claxton Farms the night before and it went great! Jackie was assigned to us as our bridal attendant and we cannot say enough good things about her. Claxton really is doing it right with assigning bridal attendants the day of the wedding to help out with everything. At first I wasn’t sure what her role was, but I soon found out that her role was to make us feel comfortable and make everything transition with ease. She helped get our guests where they needed to be, from getting them to their seats for the ceremony to taking pictures to the reception to the first dance, cake cutting and so on. She helped get our family and friends out for pictures after the ceremony and always made sure we had a drink or appetizer or whatever we needed as we made our rounds to get pictures and talk with everyone. She was SOO AMAZING and so sweet! Our wedding would not have been so perfect without her! And I can’t forget to mention how GORGEOUS the venue was! It was everything I dreamed about and more! Being surrounded by the blue ridge mountains and their farm land provided endless breath-taking views. Our family and friends can not stop talking about the venue and how perfect and beautiful everything was. It was hands down, the best decision having our wedding at Claxton Farms. Thank you, Claxton and all your wonderful staff! :-)

    Amazing Venue and Staff

    My husband and I fell in love with Claxton the moment we first saw it and knew that we found the spot we wanted to get married. We were planning our day ourselves and Emily, Kayleigh, and all the Claxton staff was amazing. Emily was super responsive and answered any questions we had (and we had a lot!). The process of making decision was easy and streamlined and we loved that Claxton could help us streamline the planning. They require the use of in-house catering, which can be a turn off for some while looking at venues, but the food was amazing. Our guests raved about our cocktail hour charcuterie table and all of the buffet options. As outdoorsy people, we loved that we could have both a beautiful indoor space for our reception, and also the spectacular outdoor area for our ceremony. It was a cool October evening, so the fire and s'mores for our guests were a big hit. Claxton could not have made the planning process any easier and the staff on the day of was spectacular - they took care of everything and then some. We would hands-down, and without hesitation recommend Claxton Farm to anyone! In fact, one of my co-workers son's went to visit after hearing how much we loved it and are now planning a wedding there for next Spring!

    Best day ever!

    We had the most AMAZING experience planning and executing our wedding at Claxton Farm. Emily & Kayleigh were so helpful, responsive, and accommodating. They helped to make the months leading up and the day of stress free. We would do it all over again if we could!

    10 out of 10!

    The team at Claxton made our wedding day truly magical. They were communicative and helpful in bringing our vision to life. Emily Lane made sure every detail was covered in the planning process and our Bridal Attendant Jackie was the best to make sure the day-of went smoothly! We highly recommend Claxton Farm for your wedding or event. The location is breathtaking and the staff is extremely professional, kind, thoughtful and attentive. Thank you Claxton Farm for all of your hard work!

    Beautiful Venue

    I can’t even put into words how great Claxton was. I had never been to Asheville before, let alone visit the venue, so to say I was nervous would be an understatement. However, Emily was the most responsive and helpful person I think I’ve ever talked to. I changed my mind 100 times and she was so sweet every time. When I finally got to the venue, I was blown away. The pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. And my bridal attendant Jackie was on top of everything. Fixing my hair and dress for every photo, making sure I had a drink in hand, taking care of everything that I wouldn’t have even thought of. My day was seriously perfect and I would choose Claxton over and over again!!

    Claxton Farm's reply:

    Thank you so much and THANK YOU for being such a highlight of our 2020. Best of luck to you now and in the future.

    Would recommend this venue to everybody!!

    Claxton farms was nothing short of perfect, from their quick responsiveness, ability to figure anything out for me and just making me feel special in general.
    Me and my now husband had a BLAST celebrating our love at their venue. I would 100% recommend them anyone in the area or even out of state like us looking for an outstanding venue.

    Fairy tale

    Fairy tale. That is the word my daughter used to describe her wedding at Claxton Farm. The venue is breathtaking, even in the rain, and the staff worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly. The office staff, who organized the wedding details ahead of time was stellar. I just couldn't believe the responsiveness, care and patience Emily gave no matter how many questions or requests I had. She worked with me to ensure we took every precaution we could to keep guests safe during this pandemic. I would recommend Claxton Farm to anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue!

    Claxton Farm helped make our wedding day magical!

    Claxton Farm was incredible throughout the entire planning process. They told us everything we needed to know, they gave incredible suggestions and worked with us on every detail to make our wedding a dream come true. Come the day of the wedding, everything clicked together perfectly, in big part because of Claxton's staff, who were extremely professional. Our bridal attendant, Candace, was so sweet and kind, she took responsibility for nearly everything on the day so that we could enjoy ourselves and celebrate in the love of our marriage. Weeks later and we're both still stunned at how amazing and magical the wedding was.

    Booked for wedding

    Our wedding here was absolutely beautiful and our night was perfect. The event staff were professional and nice. I am so glad they required a day-of coordinator; there is no way we would have had the perfect wedding we did without Jackie! The dinner could have been a little better, but other than that we wouldn’t change a thing - it was perfect!

    Fantastic venue!

    We are so happy we got married at Claxton Farm and couldn’t recommend them more highly! Claxton’s proximity to downtown, stunning mountain views, and of course Chocolate Chip the llama originally drew us to this venue. The team at Claxton is truly incredible and made such an effort to ensure we had exactly the wedding we wanted. We couldn’t have been in better hands!
    Brenda and Emily were fantastic to work with – I can’t speak more highly of how easy and helpful they were to work with throughout the wedding planning process. They were incredibly responsive and consistently followed up with summaries of decisions, outstanding questions, and any other details or variables. As a detail-oriented bride planning my wedding from out-of-state, this made such a big difference in making the whole process stress-free.
    My then-fiancé and I went in person for the details meeting and for a food tasting. Both were incredibly helpful to visualizing our wedding and making decisions. Claxton’s recommended vendors were also super helpful – that’s how we found both our hotel and hair and makeup which worked out super well.
    Our actual wedding day was a dream thanks to the Claxton team! The food was great, and the chef even created a seasonal chilled soup as an app at my request – it was delicious!! Our DJ, DJ Tech Support, was provided via Claxton’s affiliated M7 Events and he was fantastic – he did a great job incorporating the type of music we wanted played and the dance floor was absolutely packed the entire night. Claxton provides a bridal attendant day-of which was fantastic to have– Jackie did a great job keeping us on schedule, making sure we ate dinner, and helping with anything that was needed. Her help to coordinate with the vendors week-of and go through the ceremony with us in advance were also so helpful. The bartending team and event staff were also an absolute joy and we really enjoyed interacting with the whole team day-of, each person there was so helpful and friendly. Claxton Farm is such a fantastic venue!

    Perfect Setting for the Perfect Day

    We are so happy we chose Claxton Farm for our wedding ceremony and reception. The views from the barn and the field are gorgeous- mountains in every direction and peaceful pastures provided the perfect backdrop to our day. Emily and Brenda were incredibly helpful, organized, and fun to work with as we planned and coordinated the day and the rest of the staff was equally professional, working hard to make the day perfect.

    Couldn’t have imagined a better setting for our wedding!

    My husband and I recently got married at Claxton Farm. From the beginning of the planning process all the way until the end, Brenda and Emily helped keep my husband and me both calm and excited for our big event. The venue was very accommodating, and our guests loved Chocolate Chip, the BBQ dinner, and the breathtaking mountain backdrop. We absolutely loved our experience working with Claxton Farm, and couldn’t have imagined a better wedding day!

    We Love Claxton

    It's hard for me to write this review without crying happy tears because it was the best choice we could have made. Where do I even begin!? We live in Charlotte and took a weekend trip to Asheville to check out 3 venues. Claxton was the first venue we looked at and we knew it was the one the moment we saw it. We ended up going to the 2nd venue just because it was too late to cancel and ending up cancelling the 3rd venue we were supposed to visit... because we knew it was Claxton!! We booked the next day with Brenda and then I met (through email) Emily. Emily was a blessing! My mom and dad both passed away and planning was very hard at times, but Emily was always there for me and became a friend and someone I will never forget! She made everything so easy for me. I am blessed beyond measure to have met Emily and Brenda! The venue was absolutely stunning and so is the staff! Rachel was our day of coordinator and she was perfect and we clicked right away! She made sure everything went according to plan the day of and we appreciate her so much! I could seriously go on and on, but I think you all get the picture! We LOVE Claxton!! We received so many compliments and everyone had an amazing time! Thank you Emily. Brenda, Rachel, and all the staff at Claxton!! We will never forget you all!!

    Our Wedding at Claxton Farms

    The entire team at Claxton was amazing! Living in Florida and planning a wedding in North Carolina was a bit scary at first, but the entire Claxton team really made me feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of and walked us through every step. We worked with the Chef to create an amazing meal that was not on the menu and vegetarian friendly. Gave us great suggestions for us and our guests on places to stay in Asheville. The Bluegrass Band and DJ were so good and our guests loved all the music! Jackie who was there on the wedding day helped my husband and I with anything we needed and made sure we were where we needed to be for pictures and the ceremony, as well as feeding us. Claxton is truly the best and we're so happy we decided to get married there!

    Beautiful, Warm, and Welcoming

    Claxton Farm and M7 were absolutely fantastic to work with from the very start to the day-of. We mostly spoke/worked with Brenda initially who was so lovely and accommodating. She walked us through all the aspects of the venue from preparing for different weather scenarios, picking out a menu that suited everyone, recommending wonderful vendors, helping decide on the rentals, the layouts, and timeline for the day of.

    Later we also had the pleasure of meeting Emily and Allen (the chef) for the day of our menu tasting. Everyone was so wonderful, taking their time to make us feel comfortable and explain all the options that were available to us. We were very happy with the menu we chose for the day of. Allen was very open and accommodating to help us meet dietary restrictions of some of our guests.

    Both Brenda and Emily were always responsive and followed up with updates and notes after each of our meetings. Since we planned all our own wedding this was really fantastic and much appreciated! They were also very sweet in helping us implement last minute changes such as updating meals for our vendors, not to mention we forgot our cake topper the day-of and they were absolutely wonderful in letting us know and getting it back to us.

    Our day-of coordinator, Candace, reached out prior to our wedding to make sure we had everything we needed and to answer any questions we might have had. She was such a blessing to have the day of the wedding as well, having her there let us know everything would be taken care of.

    We can't thank the Claxton/M7 team enough for all their wonderful work and help in making our wedding day perfect!

    Claxton Farm is an absolute dream wedding venue. We couldn't imagine celebrating the start of our marriage in a more perfect place. The setting is amazingly gorgeous: 360 private mountain views, just 20 minutes from downtown Asheville. Throughout the entire planning process, Emily and Brenda made everything really fun and stress-free. These ladies are not only lovely people, but they were extremely accommodating and responsive every step of the way. They helped us find many of our vendors and took care of much of the coordination. On wedding weekend, our bridal attendant Candace and the rest of the M7 staff were equally as awesome in making sure everything ran smoothly and everyone had a blast. Seeing all of our plans come to life on the big day was even better than what we'd envisioned. Our guests raved about the food, local beverages, lawn games, farm animals, and DJ. Feeling so much love and joy and seeing that reflected in our guests' experience was truly magical. Thank you to the Claxton Farm and M7 team for helping us make memories that will last a lifetime.

    Our wedding experience at Claxton Farm was absolutely incredible! From signing the contract to wedding day everything was smooth, organized, and detailed. As soon as we walked in on Saturday and saw our idea and plan come to fruition, it was truly a beautiful sight! The first thing our guests mentioned was how perfect the venue was and it couldn't be more spot on for us. It was the most fun our family and friends had in years was a common remark. The M7 event staff are the best in the business! We will highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married in Asheville area. Special thanks to Brenda, Emily, and Candice! You guys are awesome!

    Claxton Farm is so beautiful and M7 Events was very professional to work with. They never pressured us to spend more and found solutions to make our day unique. Our guests from out of town loved the views from the farm, and the fun animals. Special thanks to Brenda, Emily, and our amazing bridal attendant Jackie who blew me away with her help the day of our wedding.
