Mountains, orchards, and lake - we've got it all!
Big R Orchards - Wedding and Event Venue is a beautiful unique venue located on top of Brushy Mountain in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Wilkesboro, NC between Boone and Winston Salem. Enjoy the beauty and romance of a family owned farm - working apple & peach orchard with a 6 acre lake and a golf green peninsula with amazing mountain views. The pavilion was designed and hand-crafted by friends and neighbors and is sided and trimmed with exotic wood from New Zealand. The bridal suite is spacious and elegant with over 1000 square feet of space. The bride's suite has a private bathroom and hair and makeup stations. There is a full commercial caterer's kitchen with separate entrance, public bathrooms, and grooms suite. All of the rooms have heating and air conditioning (2400 square feet total). The open but covered grand hall is almost 6000 square feet with 2 huge chandeliers, Edison string lights, post lights, and a huge rock fireplace. There are also motorized curtains on the west side that can be closed or opened with a touch of a button. The dance floor is spacious and magical, covered with Edison string fairy lights and open to the sky. The venue/orchard is available for bridal pictures on the grounds by appointment. There are 200 pewter chiavari chairs with ivory cushions, 200 white folding resin chairs, 30 60" round tables (seats 8 ), 6 8' rectangular tables, 1 6' rectangular table, and 10 30" round cocktail tables. The daily rental cost of the tables & chairs provided is in excess of $3000 per day if rented separately through a rental company. And, at most rental companies, pewter chiavari chairs aren't even an option and they are gorgeous! We also have a few other decorations such as a wooden arch, vintage wooden bushel apple crates, vintage apple grading tables, 12 wine barrels (6 are used as trash cans), antique white ceremony doors, and tiki torches - no extra charge if you'd like to use any of that on your special day. Also included, shuttle services for elderly & special needs guests during the event to and from the pavilion to the green. Please message us to set-up a day and time to tour this truly special place! We are managed by a husband and wife team and family owned. Cheers! Scott & Angie Robinson
