Your Perfect Day

Your Perfect MenuWe are committed to creating a unique experience for the reception, which will appeal to your culinary expression and desires. Custom menus will be created from your needs and specifications. We spent our time meeting and talking with food growers and new farmers in the North Carolina area, sourcing new product in order to further our farm to table approach to our restaurants. We found many new and exciting products to keep up with the latest trends in culinary world and toured a seafood distribution facility to see the process

behind how we receive the freshest fish possible through Trilliums doors.

What is the difference between a Wedding Planner and Venue Coordinator?The Venue Coordinator is employed by Trillium Links and Lake and is responsible for the day to day operation of our event spaces.They’re here to answer any questions about the property, offer suggestions for planning leading up to the day of the event, and then assist your Wedding Planner with the coordination of vendors and events during your wedding at no additional cost to you. The Wedding Planner is hired directly by you and their fee is not included in the price quoted by Trillium. We’re happy to offer our approved planner list upon request. Based on your needs, they’ll assist with everything from design/color palette selections to caterer selections, floral arrangements, photography scheduling, and many of the other details that make for a seamless and stress free wedding.

We had our wedding at Trillium and boy did we pick the right STAFF for our special day. Trillium is beau-tiful and it only takes about 10minutes of being at the facilities to realize what Trillium has to offer. It’s located deep into the Mountains and will really captivate you with the surrounding views. Megan Cook

and Chef Taylor are truly the dynamic duo. They work well with each other and the both of them created an excellent menu and an excellent experience for us and our guests. We will always hold this place close

to our hearts and we will never forget how much effort the staff put into our special day.

Thank you guys for an awesome event and we can’t wait to come back soon!

We got married here years ago and are planning a trip back to celebrate our anniversary. We can’t wait to go back to Trillium - this time with our kids! We’re grateful for the fabulous memories we have of our

wedding weekend. We had a lot of guests from out of town and we took advantage of everything the area has to offer -- boating, golfing, hiking, fishing, white water rafting... We also had a fun rehearsal dinner with a live blue grass band, a gorgeous ceremony, a great dinner, and a party that lasted until the wee

hours. Honestly, our friends still talk about it as their favorite wedding ever. Everyone we encountered at Trillium was friendly and accommodating, even when an unexpected guest turned up, or people got lost

and arrived later than planned. We could not be happier with our experience!!

The venue was perfect for our wedding weekend. Chef Taylor perfectly crafted our custom menu and his staff presented all of the food in such a beautiful way. I can honestly say we accomplished the feat of having a

memorable wedding feast! The bar staff also served custom cocktails and the results were delicious! We used the Landings dining area for our Rehearsal dinner and our Post-Wedding brunch, both meals were incredible!

The Trillium events staff was fantastic with set up and considering they were working directly with me (the bride) and no wedding coordinator, they made the process as seamless as possible.
