Nestled amidst the breathtaking vistas of Highlands, North Carolina, lies Flat Mountain Farm - a 28-acre haven where rustic charm meets mountain majesty, creating a wedding venue unlike any other. This haven is the brainchild of Christopher and Margaret Shutze, a visionary couple who transformed a 40-year-old rustic paradise into a wedding venue haven for celebration and love.

From Humble Beginnings to Exquisite Escape:

Margaret and Chris, the power duo behind Shutze Studio, saw magic in the run-down antique log cabins and barns left behind by an eighth-generation Highlander. With Margaret's expertise in international hospitality projects and Chris's 20 years of crafting award-winning specialty homes, they set out to create something truly special.

Their vision? A destination where couples could say "I do" amidst the whispering pines and serene lake, surrounded by loved ones and nature's grandeur. And boy, did they deliver!
