Rebecca J. Sent on 07/10/2023Amazing and beautiful! A wedding and family reunion all in one!
Words cannot describe how perfect this venue is! If you want to have an unconventional wedding, this is the place! We came in Thursday with most of our family and cooked out. Spent Friday on the river and waited for the rest of our guests to come in! With a Saturday morning ceremony and brunch reception, we spent the rest of the day swimming and taking tube trips. The staff was super helpful and attentive.Brown Mountain Beach Resort's reply:
Rebecca.... what a great memory of a weekend! We are so so grateful for your kind words and you and Greg being amazing humans! What a blast! Thanks for the memories! -

Whatever glowing description I could muster up to describe our experience with Brown Mountain Beach resort would somehow still fall short of conveying our perfect experience. We planned our wedding from Wisconsin, and with moving, graduation, and new jobs on the horizon, the wedding was low on our priority list for many months. We hired a planner through Brown Mountain, Rachael, who was our life line. We met with her twice via zoom- one initial meeting about 6 months out and again 1 month out from wedding day. She was thorough and knowledgable and helped tie up every lose end we hadn't even considered. We stayed at Brown mountain with all 60 of our guests monday-wednesday. Monday, we all arrived to perfectly clean and STUNNING cabins and yurts. Rachael guided us through unloading the few decorations we brought and got to work using the resort decorations to bring our vision to life. The venue itself is so stunning without additional decoration, we hardly spent a dime on anything extra (and were never made to feel cheap or less than for this decision). The actual wedding day was peaceful and family-filled. We spent the entire day without our phones or other distractions, and simply floated on the river. Elderly relatives enjoyed the shade of the deck, still able to watch the water fun- and all of our friends (and our dog!) played endlessly in the water. Rachael seemlessly kept us on task and perfectly on time as the day progressed. When rain threatened the start time of the ceremony, she and the staff went to every cabin and informed every guest that we would delay the ceremony an hour. I wasn't even slightly phased, the resort kept everything under control, dry, and easy. I was given options and felt supported in any decision I made to move the ceremony inside or wait out the rain. Within the hour, the skies cleared and we were able to have a dreamy ceremony on the beach. After, we ran around with our photographer while our family and friends enjoyed apps and dinner provided by Brown Mountain (INCREDIBLE charcuterie and pizza that everyone raved over). The resort accomidated every dietary concern (and there were many). Everything about this experience was incredible. We were able to spend three days with our community and feel that every penny we spent towards our wedding held purpose. Both my husband and I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone- communing with family and friends in nature is both intimate and memorable, which is exactly the core of what we wanted our wedding to be. Leaving, all of our guests spoke so highly of the venue and all of the staff and have already discussed visiting again for family vacations in the future! This venue is absolutely the best investment you could make for your wedding day.

Emilie Sent on 11/26/2023So much more than a wedding venue
It's really hard to put into words the wonder and magic that is Brown Mountain Beach Resort.
My partner and I found BMBR through a wedding planner that we had reached out to in the early stages of planning (shoutout Erin from Plain With Sprinkles!). We live in Asheville, but many of our guests would be coming in from out of town and we wanted to be able to host as many of them onsite as possible. We were looking at summer camp venues but couldn't imagine sticking our 90+ year old grandmas into bunk beds for the weekend.
BMBR was the perfect solution, a better option than we even knew we could imagine. An unbelievably beautiful property with a mix of some private housing with doors that close for the elders was great, and then we had fun jamming big groups of our friends into the bigger yurts. Hot tubs everywhere! Llamas to hang out with! Tubing, swimming, and movies on the beach, oh my!
Kelsey and her team are amazing. I have no idea how they get it all done in a day, but they make it look effortless. Also, there were about 17 kids at the wedding and they were so kid-friendly, with even some onsite babysitting options that my friends and family took advantage of.
What a gift they give to let us share in their little slice of heaven. I think I heard the line "we have to do this again every year" about 1,000 times while I was there. I would choose this venue again and again and again. -

A place where magic is created in North Carolina at Brown Mountain Beach Resort
If you’re looking to have a wedding in the mountains of North Carolina this is the place! It was better than we could have dreamed of. Brown Mountain Beach Resort exceeded all expectations we had. Kelsey Wallace and her team made our wedding week so that we could truly be present with our family and friends while they made sure everything went as planned. Over 60 of our guests were able to stay on the beautiful property with adventure at our fingertips. Floating the river, kayaking, hiking, driving ATVS and mountain biking was all so easily accessible from the property. The team at BMBR made all of our guests feel so welcomed and taken care of. They helped us host multiple events for our friends and family! We had days of floating the river, a movie night under the stars on the beach, a 4th of July bbq rehearsal with a bluegrass band on the beach and the most magical wedding. We felt so loved at our wedding by not only our guests but also the entire team at BMBR. The staff were professional, organized, kind and so fun! They have created a place that you can truly relax, adventure and have the most epic parties. My husband and I can’t wait to go back to make more memories on many anniversaries to come! -

Sarah B. Sent on 11/14/2021The best venue ever
The absolute best place and people!! Brown mountain beach resort is a literal dream and we are so thankful that we got to have our wedding here! Ron personally gave us a tour of the wedding venue and we knew we had to book immediately and Kelsey was a dream to work with from day one! This family cares so much about this place and their couples and encourages couples to keep it simple and enjoy the time with the ones they love through adventure and unwinding on the river. To say our wedding weekend was the best is an understatement. We LOVE brown mountain beach resort and can't wait to go back and stay soon. Our families and friends were in love with everything about Brown Mountain Beach Resort (even the lack of cell service- which we loved!) Kelsey and her team made sure that everything was perfect for our big day from the moment we arrived on Thursday night to when we left Sunday morning, everything was a dream. Kelsey and her team set-up our lunches for our swim day on Friday while we were enjoying the river which was so unexpected but amazing and allowed us to enjoy every second. We had a bonfire every night, used the tubes, canoes, and stand-up paddleboard all weekend long, and our cabins were amazing. I could write on and on about our amazing experience here, but suffice it to say, Brown Mountain Beach Resort is so special and magical and I cannot imagine a better venue. Book Brown Mountain Beach Resort!! We can't wait to go back soon! -

The Perfect Adventure Wedding with Guests
When we got engaged, we knew we wanted a beautiful outdoor location - like a national park, mountain top, or waterfall - but we wanted all our friends and family to be there. Brown Mountain was the absolute perfect venue for couples who want the best of both these worlds. The entire staff there went above and beyond all 4 days we stayed for our wedding weekend. We had bonfires and smores every night, a rehearsal dinner on the beach, and a wedding day on the creek. Our guests loved having tubes, kayaks, and canoes at their disposal. It even rained the day after our wedding and the staff at BMBR made sure to move our BBQ dinner inside so we could all still hang out and eat together. On our wedding day, they drove us to a waterfall down the street and helped us hike and boulder our way there so we could do a private vow exchange and take stunning photos. If you are looking for a gorgeous outdoor venue with plenty of weekend fun for your big day - book Brown Mountain! -

We could not have picked a more perfect place, between the views, location, lodging, hospitality, AMAZING staff and just all around beauty of this place I could not be any happier with how our whole weekend went! All of the staff was so incredible and helpful and made sure our wedding was absolutely GORGEOUS! I can not recommend them enough. The pictures are amazing but still don’t even do this place justice. Once we visited once we knew it would be perfect and it lived up to every dream I ever imagined! -

Words can not express how special of a place Brown Mountain Beach resort is. My husband and I recently got married here over Thanksgiving weekend 2020 and everything from the time we booked the venue in 2018 to the moment we left that weekend was perfect (and that is saying a lot considering we got married during a pandemic). Our original date had to be rescheduled due to restrictions and Kelsey made sure that we were able to reschedule everything as stress free as possible! And on that note, if you were not going to hire Kelsey to coordinate everything for your weekend, think again. She is amazing! There was never a time when I was stress during the planning process or even at anytime during the weekend and that was all thanks to Kelsey and her careful planning and execution of every aspect of our weekend. She truly knows BMBR and the wedding process like the back of her hand. If you are looking for a venue that will feel like home and for an experience that you and your guests will never forget, look no further than Brown Mountain! They will make you feel like a part of their family and do everything in their power to give you the weekend/wedding of your dreams :) -

Emma T. Sent on 10/02/2020Aboslutely the perfect venue for our perfect day!
We stayed at BMBR multiple times before our wedding and we were so accomodated by the staff and our wedding planner! This venue is so gorgeous with ample space for guests to stay on site! Everyone is so experienced with weddings and everything on our big day was FLAWLESS, I tell you, amazing. We couldn't have gotten luckier finding this beautiful spot. A river, cabins, yurts, a beach, so much history! -

Candice H. Sent on 10/12/2020Dreamiest location with an absolute Dream team!
SO much to say about BMBR and the team there! The resort is an absolute dream! The cottages and yurts are for perfect mountain getaway and so cute and quaint right on the river. The view from Rock Pavilion is so stunning. The river and the endless activities was so much fun, my kids spent HOURS in the cold water! Kelsey and her team were absolutely incredible. The flexibilty and attenditiveness to basically replan a wedding due to COVID was a stress relief. Any thing you need they can help with, from vendors, to decor ideas, and layout of the wedding. They were our eyes and ears as we were a destination wedding and didnt live near the resort and everything went so so well. -

We had an amazing time at BMBR! Everything was beautiful, relaxing, and fun. A particular favorite was tubing down the gorge with our guests on Sunday after the wedding. Our friends and family had so much fun that they have decided we need to celebrate our anniversary with everyone back at BMBR every year. Thanks for an incredible wedding experience! -

Don't stress..just book your wedding with BMBR!
If you have any doubts at all at where to get married, this is the place. Everything was PERFECTION. Kelsey did an unbelievable job coordinating absolutely everything.. I walked onto the property the Thursday of my wedding and didn't have to think about a single thing until I left. Kelsey understands a brides vision perfectly and executes it flawlessly. From the food, to the lighting, to the music, to the florals, to the alpacas! The most beautiful, scenic venue with people who are kind and will bend over backwards to make sure your wedding day (or weekend!) is perfect. I cannot say enough about this place or the people who made my wedding happen. I have so many memories to last a lifetime because I didn't have to worry about a thing but focusing on my family and friends. Having my wedding here was the best decision I could have made. Thank you, Kelsey, and the entire BMBR team! -

Eloise C. Sent on 06/15/2019A magical place for a weekend wedding
We just got married at BMBR and the whole experience was amazing, we feel so lucky to have chosen this venue! The setting is stunning and peaceful, and the perfect place to relax with your guests. We hired Kelsey to help us with the planning and coordination, which I highly recommend! She made the planning process easy and organized, and she and her staff are talented and creative with the styling and decor. They were also very flexible when a major storm came through, moving everything inside and making it so beautiful you would never know it wasn’t what we originally planned. Our whole weekend was magical, we really got to focus on each other and our guests and not worry about the details. -

Picturesque, rustic, and perfect.
Our daughter was married at Brown Mountain Beach Resort on April 13, 2019. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to have a wedding! This is the best venue if you’re looking for a picturesque, mountain wedding. It’s a plus that you can stay right on site and enjoy a weekend in a cottage or yurt right on Wilson Creek and hear the sounds of the flowing river. We enjoyed the rehearsal dinner in the unique Speak Easy and had a huge bonfire on the beach. On Saturday the wedding ceremony was right on the beach. Fun was had by all. Kelsey and her family and staff went out of their way to accommodate any needs we had. They also had many beautiful props for us to use which was a big help. (Cake or cupcake display, wedding favor display, easels, kegerator, canopy, etc). Ron even helped one of our relatives get their car free when it got stuck by accidentally running over a tree stump. So very kind! We used a company called Tin Can Co. for a photo booth in a vintage VW Van. Our guests enjoyed this and the BMBR venue very very much! I highly recommend Brown Mountain Beach Resort. It’s a great value and will provide an unforgettable wedding experience. -

Kimberly C. Sent on 12/18/2018Wow...Just WOW!!!!
My husband and I were married at Brown Mountain Beach Resort on November 17th. The only thing I regret is that it has taken me a month to let you all know how absolutely AMAZING the venue and the staff are at BMBR. Actually, absolutely amazing is quite an understatement. Kelsey, Jeremy, Ron, and Wendy (and the whole crew of course) made our day beyond perfect! We could not have asked for anything more- they met and exceeded our expectations for what we had envisioned for our day. Our whole family was able to come and stay onsite with us and we were able to just enjoy their company and spend time together because Kelsey and her crew handled everything for us! They wanted us to just relax and enjoy the scenery- and because of them, we were able to. And what a breath taking scenery it is! The entire setup was beautiful and the food was exceptional! We had our rehearsal in the speakeasy, our wedding ceremony on the deck, and the reception in the Rock Pavilion. The creek and the view in the background were breathtaking. We had originally planned to have our wedding on the beach but Mother Nature had other plans and put most of the beach under water…Kelsey and Jeremy didn’t even stress about it- they changed the plan and set everything up on the deck and it was beyond perfect and gorgeous!!! BMBR handled almost everything for us- the food, all the flowers, the decorations and setup, the bartenders, the catering staff, the cleanup… if you can name it, they probably did it for us…and if there was something they did not do, they had a list of available vendors who were exceptional as well! We used DJ Julius Hoke (fantastic DJ!) and My Mobile Bakery for the cupcakes, cake, and grooms cake (also amazing!). Both of these vendors were recommended by Kelsey and they exceeded our expectations as well. I may be a little biased but I have been to a ton of weddings and I have never been as wowed and impressed as I was by the beauty of this venue and the entire wedding weekend. I have had many people go on and on about how incredible this was and that it was truly the most amazing wedding they have ever attended. I couldn’t agree more with those people. All the details (big and small) and all the thoughtfulness they put into our day will never be forgotten and will always be cherished. From the donut and coffee bar, the fires, the smores, the décor, the flowers, the heavenly Pasta bar for the reception, (Wendy cooked all of it and the alfredo sauce put most of the Italian restaurants to shame), the appetizers, just everything!! If you have an opportunity to book your wedding at BMBR, you would be crazy not to. If you are unable to book your wedding there, I highly encourage you to just visit…take your family…. And enjoy a vacation! This will most definitely be a place we visit throughout the years with each other and with our children. Thank you again Kelsey, Jeremy, Ron, Wendy, and the entire crew- you are appreciated more than you know!!!!Brown Mountain Beach Resort's reply:
Kim! Thank you so much for the review! Jeremy and I constantly talk about y`alls weekend and how wonderful of a couple you and Cory are. So glad we got to be apart of your weekend. You both are so special to us! Please send Cory and the girls our love as well, and please come back soon! -
