We are Amira and Yuri Melnichenko and we have been painstakingly renovating this beautiful, but severely neglected home for 57 years. Not really, it's been around two years, but it just feels like we've aged that much in the process. We got married in the mountains of North Carolina in 2014 and ever since then it's been one of our dreams to own a wedding venue/B&B.
The owner, Amira, is always available and goes out of her way to accomodate anything we needed. The house is beautiful, and the location perfect. The entrepreneur spirit of this young couple who bought this historic landmark and renovated it to bring it to the excellent B&B it is, makes me proud to be American.
At The Foxtail Estate, our couples are anything but a number. We don't believe in containing the biggest event of your life into just a few hours so and rushing you out to get more brides/grooms in. With our wedding weekend package, you will have full use of the grounds and rental of all guest rooms Friday to Sunday, including a glam room overlooking both the marina and the venue space.
We have received many requests for single day weddings for local brides, so we have developed a daily rental option that we will accommodate one weekend per month. Each month's single-day wedding weekends will be based on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will have access to the grounds from 1pm to 10pm on the day of your wedding.
Looking for something in between an elopement and a small wedding? The thought of inviting 100 people you haven't spoken to in a year to witness your most intimate moment kind of freak you out? We feel you! Micro-weddings with 20 guests with everything included are the most economical and hassle-free option to still get the wedding of your dreams.

Where do I even begin?? Perfection. Amira was more than helpful during this entire wedding planning process. She went above and beyond and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue. This is a true DIY wedding dream. I was able to express my creativity and Amira was encouraging the whole time. If I got stuck on anything I knew I could turn to her for some direction. The property is absolutely gorgeous, the bridal suite is the perfect size with a little area for hair and makeup with ALL the natural light a bride could ask for one getting pampered on her day. The groomsmens get to overlook the venue

The Foxtail Estate is more than just a venue. Amira at Foxtail created an entire wedding experience that was absolutely perfect for us. She was flexible, willing to think outside the box, and accommodating in every way. Her vendors (photographer, florist, officiant) were the best! They were so helpful and caring. All that to say, our wedding day was beautiful and so "us" :) The icing on the cake was staying the night in the amazing honeymoon suite!

Beautifully restored, tastefully decorated, spa-like, quaint Inn. We had our wedding here and it was picture perfect! The historical home and beautiful yard do not disappoint. Our guests loved the venue & Amira was great! She pays attention to all details, is very accommodating and flexible, anticipates needs, and is the hostess with the mostest!! My only tip- request the upstairs thermostat be unlocked for sleeping comfort.

This estate is gorgeous! The suit had tall ceilings with large windows which felt very refreshing. The cute downtown strip is only a two minute walk. The beach is right across the bridge. We rode our bikes there one morning to watch the sunrise. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The fresh Croissants and homemade preserves with a cup of coffee on the porch overlooking the marina made every morning perfect. 10/10 would stay here again.

The space was spotless, welcoming & just adorable. We got married here, (got ready on site & stayed the night.) loved every moment. This is such a unique & historical place. We also loved being a short walk away to the marina. Breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious. We cannot wait to come back!

Besides been a cute venue from the front and inside. I have to say is pack with a lot of features and beautiful in all aspects. I was part of a Wedding Style shoot last August and I got in love with the place. Its style, greenery scenery and big space on the back of the venue that can serve from a Wedding, Sweet 16 or Corporate event. Ceremony area looks awesome and this is amazing for pictures plus been in Daytona Beach makes it a perfect choice for your next event and also stay for the night and be safe about it. Oh by the way, great customer service like for example her owner Amira is super

Foxtail is absolutely perfect. My new husband and I had our wedding here yesterday and let me tell you, I cannot put into words how amazing this place is. Let me first say, we booked this venue with just 7 days notice and Amira was so kind and ready to take on the challenge really making this wedding into a stress free experience. The location is perfect and the views are breathtaking. The house is incredible and it's obvious how much Amira and her husband love this home and all the details really show that. The outdoor wedding venue space was so beautiful and exactly as I pictured it to be. Getting

This place was was super charming and romantic. It had a great blend of historic and modern design. The backyard was under construction when we stayed, but looked amazing. We ended up going down the street to McKs (walking distance) for a drink/food and came back to hang out on the cool brick front porch. The view of the marina was fantastic. My fiancé loved the food. It was super welcoming. Super homey. Definitely coming back.
