Shared Joy
“Our experience was nothing short of amazing! From the wedding planning with Kelly and Laura, to the staff - who went above and beyond, to every detail of the weekend. I cannot adequately put into words how thankful I am for this venue and the staff. And I can’t leave out the food!!! Our guest raved about the corn pudding! And the Kanuga Toast was a breakfast favorite. They made our daughter’s wedding pure magic. Kanuga itself is a magical place, and so are its people. Visiting will now be a family tradition for us.”
-Vikki K.
“I wanted to send a huge thank you to both of you and your teams for putting on such a wonderful wedding weekend for us. We are still smiling about the weekend and are so happy we chose Kanuga. We know your team worked very hard leading up to and during the weekend's events, and it showed! And we so appreciate all of the customizations and attention to detail you all showed throughout the process. I know our wedding was more than a handful, and y'all handled it so well. So many of our guests mentioned how much they loved both the wedding events and the beautiful setting and activities Kanuga has to offer. We also wanted to pass thanks along to Beverly, who took care of our table during the reception, and Marquis for his attention to detail for the amazing food. And to all who were a part of making the weekend so lovely. We can't thank you enough! I hope y'all are enjoying the start to summer and doing well. We hope to make it back to Kanuga sooner than later!”
-Anna and Neal
“I wanted to send a quick message of thanks and sincere gratitude to you and your teams. From the start of our planning process with you all, we have experienced nothing but thoughtful consideration and flexibility. I personally appreciate your willingness to go above and beyond to make their event align with the expectations they had. All of the last-minute changes and even operational support the day before the wedding was very appreciated! Service and flow of Friday night and Saturday was better than I could’ve imagined. Thank you all so much.”
-Emma M.
“I cannot say enough great things about Kanuga. We booked them 2 weeks before my wedding due to Hurricane Helene, and they were nothing but kind, efficient, and helpful. They quickly helped gather details, a meal plan, accommodations for guests, etc. All staff were amazingly kind, the grounds are gorgeous, the reception area was perfectly equipped for an amazing party. The food was out of this world, which was just a cherry on top! If you are looking for a wedding in nature but still with all the amenities, book with Kanuga!”
-Shannon S.
“I want to thank you for everything you & Kanuga did to make not only our wedding but the weekend beyond what we could have imagined. All of our guests were extremely happy with their stay and enjoyed unplugging and unwinding. The staff at Kanuga during the set-up and the reception were extremely kind and beyond helpful. We also wanted to thank you for answering my countless questions. You made the process extremely easy and enjoyable. We discussed so many times how much we enjoyed working with you. Every year on our anniversary we plan to stay at Kanuga and reminisce on the insanely beautiful time we had this weekend. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!!”
