On May 21, 2005, Pinebrook Manor hosted our daughter’s wedding and reception. We’ve attended many weddings spread from Cape Cod to New Orleans, but never to one equal to hers in terms of beauty, quality of food and drink, and value. Terry and Melanie have created the perfect setting for small- and medium-sized weddings – a setting that will only improve as they complete installation of their English garden and other amenities.

The guest rooms are among the finest and largest you’ll find in a B&B, and their breakfasts are sumptuous and generous. Their reception area is tucked between the dining room (which made a perfect buffet) and the bar. We used Terry’s recorded music (hand-picked by the bride and groom), which was cost-effective while allowing a selection of authentic sounds ranging from 70’s R&B to 90’s Texas swing.

Our hosts are on good terms with several local merchants who supplied the catering, the flowers, and bar service. All were wonderful in terms of service, attitude, and end product. This wedding was planned and pulled off in seven weeks, pretty much without a hitch.

I can’t say enough good things about Pinebrook Manor. Terry even ordered perfect weather for our front lawn ceremony, and although it was looking pretty shaky earlier in the day, by 5:00 it was perfect. If you’re looking for a place to hold a Carolina mountain ceremony, do yourself a favor and look here first. And then there won’t be any reason to look anywhere else.
