    Beautiful and continuously improving

    Holly and Robb are amazing hosts! They're continuously improving the venue and post on social media often, which really motivates me and keeps me excited about my upcoming wedding! I have all the confidence in the world that I'll be marrying my best friend in the most perfect place for us!

    Best Wedding Weekend

    I'm from out of town so I was hesitant about planning my wedding but Brahma Ridge was the best choice we could have made. I loved having the venue for the entire weekend and we had about 1/4 of our guests staying on site. Everyone loved their glamping tents, buses, or staying at the house. As a Florida girl it was so nice waking up on my wedding day to the sounds of the river going by our glamping tent and then taking a misty mountain walk over to breakfast at the house. It made the whole weekend seem so magical.
    We had our rehersal dinner on the pond deck and after a quick evening shower it cleared up to be a beautiful night. We spent the majority of the weekend on site celebrating with our families and friends. Holly, Rob, and their staff were incredible and flexible. They helped make sure our weekend went perfectly and I can't thank them enough.

    Best Wedding Venue in Asheville

    My wife Joese and I got married at Brahma Ridge on October 27 and stayed in the Earthbern house for the weekend. It couldn't have been a better experience. The venue is perfect and having the house to ourselves was ideal. I would recommend anyone getting married here to rent the house just for yourselves and it is a great place to get ready for the ceremony and even host a night before gathering. We decided to stay the night after our wedding as well which was great for winding down after all the craziness of the wedding day. Holly & Rob and their staff were extremely accommodating and made our wedding the best it could have been. Thanks for everything!

    Perfect wedding venue

    We did a destination wedding at Brahma and both Holly and Rob made the process so easy. They were super accommodating for our on site rehearsal dinner including setting up seating and centerpieces at their Earthberm house and helped us with dropping our luggage off early. They are truly a one stop shop - Holly took so many items off my packing list with the collection of wedding/entertaining stuff she’s accumulated. Rob shuttled everyone to their cars and the bathroom the day of and made sure we had everything we needed. Their communication skills and effort to make sure all was well and in place was so appreciated. The property was beautiful, our wedding was seamless and Holly and Rob were so wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Brahma Ridge.

    We loved getting married at Brahma Ridge!! It could not have been a more perfect venue. It was gorgeous, so the pictures are amazing. Our friends stayed at the Earthberm house on the property (sleeps up to 10), as well as the yurts on the property, which made things super easy for those who had to travel. Asheville friends set up their own tents, so we could all have breakfast together on Sunday. Our makeup artist came to the venue to do our makeup, which was awesome.

    Holly was incredible in terms of making sure we had everything we needed and the day ran smoothly. She also includes chairs and tables and some other crucial wedding things in the price, which not all venues do.

    All of our friends from out of town were amazed with how beautiful it was, and we could not have been happier with the wedding, start to finish. Get married at Brahma Ridge! You won't regret it!

    Holly, Rob and their crew were amazing. The location is absolutely beautiful and the amenities they provided made the whole event stress free for us. Holly basically held my hand through the final stages of planning, which was super helpful and not something I realized I would need. The houses on site for the families worked out really well and everyone was happy. I would recommend 100%

    Holly and her staff were great. Holly was very helpful with planning my wedding especially as the day got closer and I started to get a little crazy!! We had a beautiful relaxed wedding. People are always nice at a wedding but we had several people tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been attended! Beautiful setting and fabulous staff. I hope your wedding is as awesome as mine was!

    Absolutely exceeded all of our expectations.
    From the moment we first visited we were in love with Brahma Ridge. The property is such a beautiful and special place . . . a sweet little gem nestled in the mountains. And we got to spend the entire weekend there! No need to cram everything into one crazy day. We had more time to really savor the joy of having all our favorite people gathered in one fantastic spot. The property contains a fantastic new Pavillion, two ceremony sites, three vacation homes (one perfect for hosting the Rehearsal Dinner), 4 glamping tents, and several camping sites. For a few special days it became our own little dream village. Holly and Rob were the most wonderful hosts. They made it possible for our wedding to come together in such a way that we weren't stressing about logistics at the last minute . . . and that made it possible for us to just be present in the moment and enjoy everything. It was a truly wonderful experience in a magical place. I am already scheming to host another event here!

    This was the perfect place for a destination wedding with friends and family traveling from all over to be with us on our special day. Everyone was able to stay on site so the whole weekend was non-stop fun! Rob and Holly were amazing hosts and helped us plan and visualize every second of the day.

    Brahma Ridge was absolutely amazing!! Holly and Rob were so awesome to work with and the venue is absolutely beautiful. When we were looking for venues we wanted someplace dog friendly that could accommodate us and our families on the property, Brahma Ridge did just that. The houses were amazing, the glamping tents were amazing and the property is absolutely gorgeous. Our dogs had a fantastic time romping in the grass and swimming in the pond. More importantly, our guests had a great time. Holly and Rob made sure everything ran smoothly and our day was perfect. We couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend them!

    We could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day, made possible by Holly and Rob and the staff at Brahma Ridge. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner and day after brunch on site. Our friends and family stayed in the lodges on the property or set up camp for the weekend. The team at Brahma is unbelievably attentive to every question, constantly coming up with helpful solutions to create the wedding weekend of our dreams. Everything about the venue suited our needs for a destination wedding. We received countless compliments from our friends and family in attendance. If you are thinking of getting married in the mountains, you will not be disappointed with choosing Brahma Ridge. We could never say enough wonderful things about these guys - everyone went above and beyond our highest expectations!

    Bhrama Ridge was truly wonderful in every way. From the actual event space to the cottages and tent sites available for all of our family and friends, we could not have asked for a better place to get married. Rob and Holly were such a pleasure to go through every stage of this quite stressful process. You will not be disappointed to begin the next stage of your life at the beautiful venue!

    Holly and Rob made the difference in our day being perfect. They were helpful and checked in with us throughout the process. The week of the wedding it became apparent my father would not be able to walk me down the aisle due to an illness. But holly made it possible for him to be sitting at the back and meet me to walk a short distance. She and Rob also experienced a turrential downpour a couple hours before our start time. They went through three wardrobe changes and kept on working to make sure the tent was perfect and dry, as well we all the guests were carted over so no one would be soaked. They truly take your day as personally as you do, and it makes all the difference in the world. While other venues will tell you, "I'm sorry, we can't do that..." Holly and Rob bust their butts to find a way. Something will always go wrong, but having the opportunity to work with people who go above and beyond to fix or work through whatever life throws at you really means the world on your big day. I have heard horror stories about other area venues not even attempting to assist or accommodate. Holly and Rob are amazing, their wedding site is amazing and they are truly wonderful people.

    Brahma Ridge event center is the perfect place to have your wedding weekend! Holly and Rob are fantastic hosts and have a lot of experience to make your day perfect. I live in Atlanta so I didn't know any vendors in Asheville and I have never planned a wedding or any kind of large event. Holly made her self available any time that I had questions or needed reassurance that the rehearsal/wedding planning was going to all come together. She was able to recommend vendors and also helped me think of the little details that I wouldn't even have known to plan. Not only are they amazing, but the venue is breathtaking. We had such a great experience. It was everything that I hoped for and also exceeded all of my expectations!

    Brahma Ridge has a bit of everything to make that special day perfect. From the venue and ceremony to the lodging... they have it all. Staff is pleasant and there to make everything fall into place. Multiple sites to conduct vows, beautiful surroundings, a pond, creek and gazebo. I can't think of a single thing that could be missing.

    Brahma Ridge is a magical place. From the first time we visited, Holly and Rob made us feel so welcome and comfortable there.

    During the time leading up to our event, they were available to meet with us and answer questions via phone and email. They know what they are doing and their laid-back, relaxed and confident attitudes were very reassuring.

    The weekend of our wedding we were able to relax and spend time with our friends and family instead of running around worrying about details. They pulled everything together and accommodated all of our guests' needs.

    As our reception was ending, Holly and Rob were standing by to whisk us off in golf carts to the campfire, cabins or anywhere we wanted to go.

    Brahma Ridge made our perfect wedding come true. The number one thing my husband and I wanted out of our wedding weekend was for it to be stress-free. Holly and Rob made it exactly that! From the first moment we stepped on the property we knew it was the perfect spot to get married.

    Our parents and grandparents stayed on sight in the rental houses they have available, while all of our friends and younger family members camped for four days below the beautiful tent. It was magical. Holly and Rob helped so much throughout the whole process. We were unfortunately met with bad weather the night of our rehearsal dinner, and instead of them letting us figure the predicament out for ourselves, they helped us rearrange EVERYTHING! Took the stress right out of it! The day of the wedding, they were there to help from the moment we woke up to the moment we went to sleep. They had staff members there as well helping to set everything up and clean after the dinner. Everyone was so helpful and so friendly. Could not have asked for a better crew!

    By the time we left the venue at the end of the weekend, Holly and Rob felt more like family to us! We love you both so much and would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!!! It was absolutely perfect!

    If we could do it all again, we would do it ALL again. Brahma Ridge was absolutely the perfect venue for our wedding in August. Holly and Rob are the epitome of fantastic hosts and went out of their way to ensure that we had a more-than-successful event. In the months leading up to the event, we communicated primarily with Holly, who was incredibly helpful; we did not have a wedding planner, and were very thankful as Holly guided us through many of the details we needed to consider. She managed the rental details of the other two houses and campsites for wedding guests; it was just one of the details that she enabled us not to have to worry about. Rob and Holly are very hands on and involved throughout the whole weekend to ensure everything runs smoothly. They bring on additional staff to assist during the ceremony/reception, however, at no time did I feel like they turned us over to a third party. Rob even provided our guests great laughs during the golf-cart rides to the restrooms with his version of "cash cab".

    The venue itself was perfect. There is a floor under the entire (very large and airy) tent which allowed us to have any seating arrangement and large dance floor. Other venues we looked at had a much smaller dance floor and in hindsight, this large floor was really excellent. Our guests danced all night, and all over. It was great. Had it rained, it would have been no problem to drop the flaps and hold everything inside the tent. The deck was a lovely place for cocktail hour and we continue to hear rave reviews from our guests about how much they enjoyed Brahma.

    We also rented out the large house for 2 nights and hosted a rehearsal dinner for 40 that we prepped and grilled right at the house. Holly and Rob ensured that the tables and chairs were set up before we even arrived and the dinner was a success, as we enjoyed the beautiful views, a bonfire, and the hot tub!

    I recommend Brahma without reservation. It is a special place.

    Holly and Rob couldn't have a better thing going at brahma ridge. Not only is the venue gorgeous, but their attention to your vision is impeccable. I truly couldn't have made it through our special day with my sanity without Holly's help and Rob was ever present making things happen in the background. What a wonderful place!

    From the moment my husband and I visited Brahma Ridge Event Center, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. We wanted to find a place where we would have our ceremony and reception as well as cabins and campsites for our guests to stay for an entire wedding weekend of fun. Brahma Ridge seemed to be exactly what we were looking for and Holly and Rob’s flexibility and hospitality made it perfect!

    Holly was incredibly helpful in so many ways throughout the planning process and wedding day. She suggested vendors when we weren’t sure who to use for certain things but was also flexible and open to us using our own caterer and DJ (which a lot of places aren’t). She provided ideas and talked with us on numerous occasions to help in the planning process and schedule things out. She never made us feel like it was a repeat wedding – it was obvious that she truly enjoys what she does and every wedding they host. On our wedding day, Holly, Rob, and their staff did a great job helping us get everything done for the ceremony and reception. Everything was perfect and our guests had a blast!

    We were so impressed with every aspect of Brahma Ridge. The cabins were clean and accommodated our entire family who traveled to the wedding, the ceremony site we chose was exactly what we wanted with a great mountain view, and the reception site was perfect with their awesome tent and a campfire that Rob kept going all night. We also had a lot of guests camp at Brahma Ridge, and they all had a great time! Holly and Rob truly made the entire experience as stress-free as possible and were so welcoming. It was such a wonderful experience!

    Holly and Rob were wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process and especially on the wedding day itself. They were so willing to help with any questions or concerns we had and handled any issues completely and quickly. We also rented the three houses on the property for our families and wedding party and everything was clean and comfortable and nice. We found most of our other vendors through their recommendations and they were excellent suggestions. Brahma Ridge is beautiful and in a great location and Holly and Rob allow you to treat it like a blank canvas, ready for your vision for your wedding. They are so helpful and knowledgeable and experienced. We loved our experience at Brahma Ridge.

    My husband and I, both being outdoorsy type people and also not shy when it comes to travel, always knew that our wedding would entail camping. Searching along the entire east coast to find that perfect balance between representing us and yet also having the creature comforts that we knew family would require, we found Brahma Ridge.

    The venue has immense flexibility allowing for the creativity and personalization that make your wedding uniquely about the two of you. Holly and Rob went above and beyond in allowing us to do things no other venue would typically allow. All of these things plus the southern hospitality of the two of them who put so much of their own hearts and hard work into that place. The planning of our destination wedding went smoothly especially with Holly's guidance and knowledge of Asheville's caterers and vendors. She really helped in the decision-making and gave some great tips about the local area.

    Placing the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains aside, the venue itself is breathtaking. It's as if you have your own piece of mountain valley paradise for one day, or two, or three…

    Holly and Rob are absolutely wonderful! They are extremely professional but also give the personal touch that makes everyone feel right at home and comfortable. Brahma Ridge was the perfect place for us to get married, and we couldn't have planned it any better! The tent, the ceremony sites that they have to choose from, and even the lights that light up the property at night were all perfect!

    My wedding at Brahma Ridge was everything I could have ever wished for. Finding this gorgeous property tucked away in the mountains made my wedding feel so special and unique. I loved working with Holly and Rob on every detail.

    So many of the venues that I looked at requested you use their selected vendors, or had lists of requirements. Holly and Rob allowed me to choose every detail of my wedding day on my own and I really got to customize a wedding that was specifically tailored to me and my husband. My creativity was never stifled at Brahma Ridge and I was able to create the wedding of my dreams on my budget!

    Holly answered every single one of my e-mails right away, she met with us on site on multiple occasions, she had all of our cell phone numbers and called any time there was a change or a new consideration. She was available for us at the drop of a hat and could not have been easier to work with.

    We rented out every house on their property for the weekend so that family coming from out of town would have somewhere to stay. The houses were beautiful, well maintained, and our guests were able to walk home after the reception! We even had our rehearsal dinner at Earthberm House and it was great. We just popped up to the house after the rehearsal and we had an incredible view of the mountains and plenty of room for over 60 guests.

    Holly and Rob were so wonderful and accommodating- they not only met my needs and requests but also the the needs and requests of my husband, my parents, and my in-laws. To walk away from a wedding with all six of us very happy was quite exciting. I know all of us would recommend this venue to anyone asking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding experience.

    Bramha Ridge Events Center was a dream! Every single staff member was beyond helpful, and the scenery is just beautiful. We were able to cut a lot on costs, because the house we rented was already decorated beautifully! You won't regret picking them, because if something were to go wrong, they would be there to fix it for you. Amazing place...we didn't want to leave! :)
