Sleepy Hollow Inn & Event Center

For anyone looking for a complete wedding package at a very reasonable price in a beautiful setting, Sleepy Hollow is the place. We selected Sleepy Holow for several reasons. The location was ideal since many friends and family were within easy driving distance. The facility itself was ideal for the wedding ceremony and for both facilitating a rehearsal dinner the night before and the reception after the ceremony. Our party took full advantage of the beautifully restored victorian home (previously a B&B) with sleeping space for parents of the bride and groom as well as all wedding party members for two nights. By far the most important factor was the complete package offered by Danrae Babbitt, the owner and outstanding hostess, and her staff. Danielle the wedding planner was truly outstanding, helpful and very responsive to the needs of the bride and groom. Our overall rating of Sleepy Hollow as a wedding event center clearly ranks a complete 10 out of 10. Surperb in every respect. We could not have been more pleased with the complete experience from planning to completion.

I would highly recommend the Sleepy Hollow!!The service was excellent!!!They made planning a wedding so easy and stress free!!Everyone was so wonderful and we had an amazing time!!They made it the best day of my life that I will always remember!!Danrae and Danielle were amazing and I could not have done this with out them!!!All of our guests said that it was such a beautiful place to have a wedding and had a wonderful time!!There is not one thing I would have changed about my wedding!!!They did a great job!!!!!

Everything was perfect! Thanks so much! It was more perfect then I even imagined it would be!

We had a wonderful wedding at Sleepy Hollow. It was great to have all of our out of town guests staying at the inn with us. All of our requests were met and we had the flexibility to personalize our wedding to make it just the way we wanted.

This site was spectacular for our wedding weekend. The best way to sum it up would be accessible, accommodating, and amazing from the personal touches to the responsiveness of the wedding planner. Having the all-inclusive package, including wedding weekend lodging, just made it so much easier and vendor recommendations were easy to obtain for anything not included. Danielle and Danrae did a fabulous job making us feel we were the only wedding they were working on and gave us their utmost time and attention to detail and questions from start to finish!

Sleepy Hollow did an outstanding job for our daughter's wedding. We were so pleased and would recommend them to everyone.

My wedding last week at Sleepy Hollow was wonderful. I can't say enough about what a positive experience it was working with Danielle and Danrae. Everything was decorated for Christmas and it was absolutely beautiful. I also love that they let you plan as much or as little as you prefer; they're ready to help in any situation you need, to provide suggestions, arrange things etc, but aren't pushy at all. Also the food was really good and the flowers, cake, etc that Daniele took care of for me came out exactly how I wanted. The day was as stress-free as a wedding day can be.

My now husband and myself were married at Sleepy Hollow on Dec. 29th 2012. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. Our wedding was perfect and made possible by Clayton, Danrae , Danielle and all the staff members at Sleepy Hollow. A potentially stressfull situation caused by nothing but the weather was handled very professionally by Danrae and Danielle and I was not even aware of the problem. Their goal was to provide a totally relaxed stress free weekend and that is what it was. The photos were beautiful and we had so many compliments on our wedding.Thank you so much for providing me with a dream weekend.

Everybody at Sleepy Hollow made my Wedding the best day of my life. The whole time up until my wedding everything was taken care of the wedding cake, the food, the music, the decorations, the flowers and etc. The only thing I really had to do was describe how and what I wanted and they made it possible. I was so impressed and happy with the way everything looked on my wedding day. And the whole day of my wedding I had nothing to worry about because Danielle and Danrae. They made it so easy for me and my wedding party. I would definatly recommend using Sleepy Hollow for a wedding. It was not expensive as the other venues around Asheville and they provided alot more also. I would also recommend using Danrae as your photographer. She takes amazing photos.

I'm not even sure where to start with this review being everything was so magnificent! My (now) husband and I decided two months before our wedding that we wanted to have a small quick intimate wedding and that we wanted to do it 7.7.12. After hearing some reviews on the Asheville, NC area we found Sleepy Hollow Inn & Event Center. Being that we're from New England we couldn't see the place before booking (as it was, luckily, the last date left) so we thought about it for a day and decided to go ahead and book it!
Danielle and Danrae did everything for me and communicated amazingly over email. I was in the middle of finals and they made everything stress free for me.
Danielle, wedding coordinator, made my "dreams" a reality. I was stunned when I saw the reception hall. It was everything I dreamed of and more. I was worried about it being too big for 25 people, but let me tell you they made it absolutely perfect, the set up was unbelievably amazing, I couldn't believe how awesome they made it! Everyone had the best time, danced the night away, laughed, smiled and are still telling me how amazing of a time it was for them.
Clyde was also amazing, he keeps everything spotless, the grounds, the venue, etc.
We rented out the house for 3 nights for everyone to stay and it was beyond relaxing. There was never any problems!
The breakfast was great too.
I will forever remember the whole weekend there especially the day of my wedding. It was hard to have to say goodbye!
I absolutely recommend Sleepy Hollow. You will not be disappointed!
Danrae, the owner, is also the photographer, she was amazing to work with and has sent me over a couple of pictures and WOW they are magnificent.
Thank you Sleepy Hollow for the wedding of my dreams!

The venue and service provided were phenomenal! They took care of everything and made my wedding day a dream come true.

O.M.G...where should i start...danrae,clive,danelle. thanks so much for all you did. i walked out on saturday and seeing all that i dreamed of come true right before my eyes. and just having all those who sean and i love and hold dear to our hearts celebrate the weekend with them made the hole wedding all a dream..as you could see sean and i are so in love and that our wedding was so beautiful. i couldent hold my tears in, and seeing him too it was more then i could control..the point iam making because of your beautiful places and how my guess were taking care of that was so awsome...my guess are so excited about getting our pictures and how much fun they had and saying it was the best wedding ever...(and i agree) and wish i could get married to sean all over again and never change a thing about sleepy hollow inn....Sean and i want to think you from the bottom of hearts for giving us our wedding of our dreams..thanks again Sean & Stepanie Young.

They did an awesome job of taking care of me and my entire family the entire weekend. It was just a relief not to have to worry about all the little details. I couldn't have found a better venue for the family oriented wedding we wanted.

We had the best time at Sleepy Hollow and so did every guest. It has been 5 months since our wedding date and people are still talking about how much fun they had! I think it was such an awesome experience because they make it so easy. They give you a list of vendors to choose from and all the vendors, (DJ, florist, cake, photographer, videographer), are so professional and easy to communicate with. The site is so beautiful and our pictures are beautiful. If you really want to stay in a cozy beautiful biltmore decorated bed and breakfast, this is the place for you. It is also great if you don't have a lot of time to plan or don't live in the mountains, (we live 2 1/2 hours away), they make it easy so you are not stress out for your wedding day and you can really enjoy it!!

Our wedding was in July and the END result was a very lovely wedding with only a few things that went wrong.

HOWEVER.... Danrae (the owner) was extremely unprofessional and flat out rude on multiple occasions. I did not think her 'professional photography' skills were up to par and I declined her services as our wedding photographer. From the moment I let them know I was hiring an outside photographer she was short and rude each time myself or my mother contacted her. They would not lower the cost of the wedding even though we didn't want her to be the main photographer. At one point we were told (by Danielle, the director) it would not be an issue, Danrae would still be there taking photos, she just wouldn't be the primary photographer for the day. Danrae later told us, even though photography was included in our package, and we chose someone else she wasn't going to the lower price AND she wasn't even going to be there the day of our wedding to take any photos. Danrae's husband was there the day of the wedding and stood in the background (BEHIND THE GAZEBO) the entire time. HE was dressed in shorts and t-shirt and hadn't shaved in weeks, basically looking like a bum. He turned the microphone off after the 1st wedding song and my sister-in-law had to sing as loud as she could for the 2nd song because he didn't even try to turn it back on. I was also told that after the wedding he helped himself to some of our food AND beer! We regretted booking our wedding there from the moment we sent them the deposit. Yes, the END result was a lovely wedding, but that's only because I fought them tooth & nail about everything. I do not recommend booking with them. If you are a bride who just wants to show up and get married and you don't care about any details then they are the place for you. But you actually care about how your wedding looks I would continue to search elsewhere.

I had my hair done by "Jeneane" I can't remember her full name but she was at the top of their list. She was a total joke. I still to this day am embarrassed about how my hair looked.

**My review does NOT apply to their recommendations for the following:
Flowers: An english garden/ sophie's garden By Gina very $$$ but she was great,
Cake: Sweet Promises by Waynette, our cake was beautiful and delicious! (fresh strawberry)
Music: James Barr, very $$$...

It is a beautiful venue for pictures, the house and grounds have many unique spots for pics. Perfect house for the whole family to stay and have plenty of space to enjoy together. We filled the house and had some people stay at the local motel which was close enough to come and go for all the events. It was so relaxed and everyone had a great time. The owners were very attentive and willing to please. I really can't say one negitive thing about Sleepy Hollow!

I loved this venue for my wedding. It was so peaceful and quiet, in the mountains of North Carolina. We rented out the entire B&B for the family to stay and we all had a blast. Not only is the B&B house historic, it is beautiful as well. The rooms are all decorated beautifully. I was amazed at the quality of work that was put into setting up the reception/ceremony area. The decorations were put together great! I was always able to get ahold of the planner, who helped through everything along the way. It made planning the wedding in a short amount of time so easy!! I love LOVE LOVE Sleepy Hollow.
