Inquire with Lisa & Patrick
Patrick and I have been married for 10 years. We find immense happiness in sharing our farmhouse nestled within our breathtaking property. For us, the secret to a perfect life lies in the opportunity to open our hearts and our stunning estate to you.
Our decision to become an outdoor wedding venue was fueled by our deep passion for love and marriage. Our greatest joy comes from getting to know each of you as we work tirelessly to bring your extraordinary wedding visions to life.
Wedding weekends are our absolute favorites, as we personally take care of every detail, ensuring your special evening is perfect.
Hosting you and your loved ones, while crafting an inviting and magical evening, is a cherished privilege. We are excited to begin this journey with you and can’t wait to get started!

Learn About our wedding packages
In 1971, Patrick’s father created the serene pond that initially served as a water source for a pasture of horses. Today, that very pond is just one of the three picturesque settings where we host wedding ceremonies.
In 2010, our modern farmhouse was built on the site, serving as a testament to the love and dedication of our family. After eight years of enjoying its beauty privately, we couldn’t help but share it. It was too stunning to keep to ourselves.
In July 2019, we opened our doors as an outdoor wedding venue. Our mission is to provide our breathtaking property as the backdrop for your wedding dreams. We strive to create an elevated experience where you feel completely pampered.
Ensuring you can fully embrace the love and romance that makes your celebration truly special.
For over half a century, our property has been a beloved part of the Ellis family legacy.

I have directed weddings for over 40 years! I’ve directed weddings almost everywhere from churches to even a couple around swimming pools! I absolutely love to direct weddings! Everyone is so happy. I do my best to make sure the day is exactly what you and your groom have always dreamed of. The preparation to get to your special day is exciting as well – meeting with you, getting to know you and your families, working with your wedding party, the rehearsal, and of course, being there for their BIG Day!
Marriage is a big life-changing decision. I truly love being a part of your planning process as you prepare for your wedding day!

I live in McDowell County with my husband (Jake), three wild boys (Caleb, Cayden & Maverick), and my four-legged fur baby (Sadie Rae). I am a huge lover of dogs, Carolina blue, coffee, the tv show "Friends," tacos, margs, baseball, and football (keep pounding!).
I am very organized and detail-oriented. My style is best described as simple yet elegant. While planning my own wedding I found a love for event planning and decorating. I am very passionate about ensuring those around me are happy and I will strive to help my couples find the same happiness that I had on my special day.
I am just a girl who loves love, and I will 100% be smiling and shedding a tear while I watch you say I do!

Gregg and I were married here at The Pond. It is a day we forever cherish as it was absolutely perfect.
Weddings are one of the most magical days of our lives. It is an honor to be able to help ensure you have the most perfect day as well. There is nothing more beautiful than the loving smiles on everyone’s faces. You may see joyful tears in our eyes as well, as we help to make your magical day complete.

I live in Buncombe County with my sweet fur baby Birdie. I'm a big fan of all things Christmas, cheesy Rom-coms, rollercoasters, red wine, Panthers football, and spending time with friends and family.
I love getting to play a small part in the set up of your special day. From an empty table to the full set up, making your Pinterest dreams into a reality and seeing all the little details come together is my favorite part!
