A Friday Wedding to adore...

Leah + Brock
September 16, 2011

We adore the brilliancy of each vendor involved with this wedding.  Thank you so, so much to Jeremy Russell Photography; we anticipate Jeremy's return in April 2012.  The Bloom Room, as always Stacey Brown and her team take us above and beyond dreams with decor and floral.  The Ceremony was cared for by Reverend Jacqui Weiks and musical compliments by Opal String Quartet.

Take note of the indoor ceremony set up...we are lucky to have such a beautiful back-up plan when Mother Nature shows us another side. 


Again, thank you to each and every person involved with this beautiful wedding, especially our M7 Event Staff. 

...bye for now...

A September Love Spell!

Jenna + Harrison
September 10, 2011

These two are clearly under a spell...a love spell!
Peruse these images by Melissa Tuck and it is evident that they are totally in love with each other...I do believe everyone within a 30 mile radius of these two were in love that day!  

Harrison and Jenna were a complete blast to work with...every phone call, email and visit! While Jenna finished school, Harrison was the question king! :):):) The two of them made an incredible team during the planning and I am sure the rest of their life together will be naturally balanced.
We were thankful when they asked us to cater their Rehearsal Dinner too.  It was at PULP with a festive Mexican Bar!
Did I mention that we loved every moment of working with these two?!?!?!

I am just going to stare at this moon for a few more minutes!

Warmly...

A Labor Day of Love!

Lindsay + Craig
September 3, 2011

Labor Day weekend can be one of the most sought after times for a wedding.  All your family and friends take off work and plan a vacation to these peaceful mountains. Lindsay and Craig, along with their parents, planned a FABULOUS wedding with LOTS of DIY ideas.  Follow this LINK to see images of their incredibly special celebration!

Vendors who complimented their vision...

Flowers/Design
Aria Floral was able to work with Lindsay and Jodi, the Mother of the Groom for this supremely unique vision.  We loved the burlap, mixed with blues, golds and crystals...an unexpected blend that turned out freshly beautiful!  Jessica Gregory never ceases to amaze us or her clients with her passion.

Photography
Brooke Images is composed of Ashley and Greg Granstad.  They traveled to the mountains from Jacksonville, Florida to shoot this wedding...feast upon these visuals...they are full of details. 
Be inspired!

Sweets
Tiffany's Baking Co. is no stranger to delicious baked goods.  Here you will find her cupcakes and they were paired with pies baked into mini mason jars! Seriously cute and so , so good!  Tiffany needs to get ready for more orders on the mason jar pies...I'm just saying!! :) 

September, off to a good start...stay tuned for more September gems.

Warmly...

Summer love out shines the summer sun...

Kendall + Harrison
July 30, 2011


Red Hot!  These two booked Claxton Farm sight unseen.  In fact, Kendall and Harrison were in Honduras working with missions when family came to see what had Kendall so excited!  
I am sure they also wanted to double check what was pictured on our website actually existed!!  During the planning we did much over email and Skype.

This was a true DIY wedding!
Deborah, mother of the bride extraordinaire, along with a small army handled all the decorations and flowers!
Friends gave musical gifts for the ceremony...homemade jams as favors for the guests...and as you will see from the pictures, 200 of their closest friends and family came to celebrate!  
We maxed the barn out that night!

Soul Central with Jay Bird came over from Greensboro, NC to provide music for dancing while Cakes by Jane complimented the evening with a sweet Vanilla Pound Cake with fresh Strawberry layers.

The work of Nicole Roberts with Alively Photography is featured.  Take some time to peruse the fun she captured of this celebration.

We immensely enjoyed working with Deborah and Cathy (Mothers of B+G) and especially Kendall and Harrison.  When they saw Claxton for the first time, Kendall jumped on Harrison for a piggyback ride as he ran all over the field and she laughed.  
This fun-loving spirit was spread throughout the wedding and we are honored to have been a part! 

All the best to you Kendall + Harrison! 

Warmly,

A summer where it all began...

Tara + Kyle
August 13, 2011

Please take time to look through these pictures...
Tara and Kyle gaze at one another as if they invented romance and later the dancefloor!  

I love, love, love these images by Caroline Ghetes Photography...so pure and so real...you-are-there!!  Caroline had a second shooter join her named Ashley Gillett.
  
With floral and decor by Jessica Gregory of Aria Floral...just brace yourselves because this event is GLORIOUS!

Tara + Kyle II

I "Dew" declare...we are Smitten with these two!

Rebecca + Yates Dew
July 23, 2011

PURE FUN!!  From the moment I toured Rebecca and later met Yates...it was solidified..these two know how to have fun...and certainly know how to plan a party!
The images below were featured in an issue of Smitten, an online magazine.  Leigh Webber is the photographer who skillfully nabbed these stunning images of a summer wedding on our dear Claxton Farm.  Hollie Wood Style and Stems brought Rebecca's decor ideas to life.  I especially loved the Vintage Music Wall made by her friends which adorned the dessert table by Take The Cake.  Also, we LOVED what they did to the ceiling of our event barn too...swags of burlap and cafe lights.  

Get Inspired! Thank you to all involved who made this event what it was...PURE FUN!
Bye for now...

Naturally charming...

Whitney + John
June 4, 2011
Southern Weddings just featured these two on the blog.  Check out more images and be inspired!
Whitney + John Part I
Whitney + John Part II 

If I had to describe this couple and the wedding event they created in a few words...I would choose...naturally charming!
From the day we met Whitney + John on their initial tour of Claxton Farm the two of them just pull you right in with their relaxed nature. 
All of Asheville joined in to try and help them win a online contest for free photography but the universe had other plans for them...
The husband and wife duo of Oh, Darling! have been to Claxton Farm before during the summer of 2010 for Mary + Greg and it was dreamy to have them back again with their cameras.
You all should enjoy perusing these images on their BLOG.
Several others pitched in with their natural vibes too!

Jodi with Short Street Cakes baked several different flavors of cupcakes such as Strawberry Short Street, Triple Chocolate, Carrot Spice Cake and Italian Creme Cake.

Bridedsmaids picked up the flowers from Meredith at Sweet Earth Flower Farm and they arranged them the night before! Whitney and John had collected the pine cones from California and the wooden table numbers were a great DIY project.

Ceremony + Cocktail hour featured a blend of acoustic mountain music and bluegrass by Blue Ridge Trio followed by a well-balanced DJ from Sound Extreme for dinner + dancing!


Whitney and John...may you two continue to share in a life time of natural charm!  Thank you for sharing your precious time with those you love at Claxton Farm!

Hope everyone is keeping cool this summer...

Unbelievably beautiful images ahead...

Amy + Joe chose Abigail Seymour Photography, an incredible photographer based in Greensboro, NC to capture their wedding day moments on May 29, 2011.  
Follow this LINK to see more of their beautiful day...and be ready to fall in love with their sweet puppy Syndey!!! 

You will notice Abigail did a great job mentioning in her blog post many of the vendors involved but I cannot help but go ga-ga over the details again!
Thumbprint Tree Guestbook, Peach Preserves for favors, milk glass involved in the decor...these two really knew what they wanted and chose the right vendors to balance their DIY ideas... ultimately dialing it all in!

Just a moment looking back at 2010...



Many of you have never been to the Claxton Farm Event Sales Office.  We are tucked away in the attic space of a charming old building on Main Street in Weaverville.  In the spring of 2010 we tied a line of twine in our office to clip thank you notes we began to receive.  
We cherish these thoughtful gestures from our clients, their families, their guests and vendors!  I would love to share some of these with you as you spend just a few more minutes with us; beautifully real people with dream-like memories!




Ryan Bumgarner Photography
"How can I thank you for such a memorable day?  We all loved the wedding, the setting, the weather, the food and your attention to detail! If it wasn't for you serving a glass of wine to me at the table I would have missed out!  You all did a remarkable job! Best to all! "

- Lynne & Tom Doebber (Parents of the Bride) 



"Many thanks to M7 Events for the superb services offered last weekend for the Humsi-Wing Wedding Reception.  From the first visit several months ago during construction to the actual event we could not have asked for better service.  Please know that Fasetta Warren is an exceptional Bridal Attendant.  I was the wedding planner for Julie Humsi. Fasetta went beyond my expectations with her help and your other staff as well.  I will certainly sing high praises for your Claxton Farm.  Thanks again to all who helped make the reception a huge success."  
- Bennie Young (Wedding Planner)


The Beautiful Mess
"Thank you so much for a wonderful, and we feel, perfect wedding day!  From the moment we started our planning with you all everything became easy.  I cannot thank you enough for all the suggestions and help along the way.  Chris and I loved every aspect of our day and were beyond impressed with how smoothly it all went.  Honestly, it was perfect.  Claxton Farm is beautiful and we hope to return one day for another special event!  With Gratitude…"
 - Colleen & Chris Cummins (Bride + Groom)


"We just want to thank you for everything you did for our wedding.  Everything was perfect, and you guys were available every step of the way to make sure of it.  We appreciate your responsiveness and attention to detail.  It was great working with you!" 
 - Lauren & Chris Matthews (Bride + Groom)


Ryan Bumgarner Photography
"Thank you and your Claxton Farm Staff for a beautiful night to remember.  My daughter's wedding could not have been more perfect.  Your staff was professional and took care of every detail.  My family and friends are still talking about how beautiful the venue was.  Everything was exactly as we hoped it would be. Thank you for all your help through the past eight months.  Sincerely…”

- Angie & Doug Dickison (Parents of the Bride)



I could go on reminiscing over the 2010 season and all the incredible clients but I will have to save more for later!  

Bye for now…
