The Pond at Laurel Cove
Come Celebrate with Us!!!
The Pond at Laurel Cove is one of the newest outdoor Wedding Venues in Western North Carolina- just 30 minutes east of Asheville, 90 minutes northeast of Greenville, SC and less than 2 hours northwest of Charlotte. Our venue is romantic and elegant, rustic and natural. We refer to it as "Simple Elegance". The Pond sits on 16 acres in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and has several ceremony sites to choose from- the Point which is surrounded by water on three sides; the Amphitheater in the woods covered by a canopy of trees; or under the beautiful wood Pergola next to the Farmhouse. We can accommodate small weddings up to larger weddings of 125 guests. We have a basic venue rental package or we can put together an all-inclusive package which allows us to take the stress and anxiety out of the wedding planning process. You are still in control of ALL the decisions- from the customized menu, to the selection of flowers to your stunning cake! We want you and your friends and family to spend the time enjoying your wedding and not worrying about confirming vendors, decorating tables or tearing down when the wedding is over. We partner with amazing vendors that include designers, florists, caterers, musicians, photographers, videographers and pastors- we believe that every guest deserves the royal treatment. Contact us to learn how we can make your special day everything you’ve dreamed of....… and more.

About Us
The Pond at Laurel Cove is owned by Patrick and Lisa Ellis. The property has been in the Ellis family for close to 50 years. The pond was built by Patrick's father, Dr. George Ellis, in 1972 as a water source for a pasture of horses. In 2010 our modern farmhouse was built on the site and 8 years later we decided the property was just too beautiful to keep to ourselves. We opened up the property as a wedding venue in July 2019 and want others to start their dreams on this stunning piece of property. We are sure you will fall in love with the property just as we have.
