    Weekend Long Affair

    I own Asheville Weddings and Events, and I was able to do a wedding here for a couple back in July. I had toured this venue a while back, just trying to expand my venue list, and was excited when I had a couple that I knew would be perfect for it!
    The couple wanted a weekend-long event where all of the family could stay together and do activities. Rumbling Bald was perfect for this! I truly enjoyed working with the staff, and Jessica was seriously amazing the whole time. It felt like I had worked at this venue and with these people forever! I really hope to get to do many more weddings here!

    Perfect Fall Wedding

    Everything about the venue made our day absolutely perfect. The view was amazing and the staff (especially Jessica) made sure everything went perfectly. Highly recommend!

    Stunning Venue

    We got married in August 2023 at Rumbling Bald Resort and every part of the weekend was so magical. The venue coordinator Jessica is the most amazing woman, she works so incredibly hard, is so kind, and really makes the experience start to finish so wonderful. She really moved mountains and made our dream wedding happen. The venue speaks for itself, it's such a beautiful backdrop for a wedding, and a great place for friends and family to travel to. The staff was amazing, everyone was so helpful and always had smiles on their faces. Highly recommend Rumbling Bald as a venue for any special event, or just a lovely getaway.

    Amazingly beautiful venue, would absolutely recommend!

    Rumbling bald was absolutely the most incredible venue my husband and I could have ever dreamed of. We are a very relaxed couple that love the water and mountains, and this was the perfect combination of what we were looking for. Our guests could not stop talking about how incredible the food and the views were. Our only goal was for everyone to have fun and the venue absolutely helped us exceed that goal. From my perspective, there is not another venue in the Carolinas that could provide the ambiance and experience that rumbling bald does (especially for the extremely reasonable price point). Jess Wessinger, the sales manager, could not have been more kind or accommodating.

    Excellent wedding venue

    We had a wonderful experience with Rumbling Bald! Working with Paula made things seem so easy, and we greatly appreciated her insights. We had an intimate wedding with family, with less than 50 guests, and she knew all the right suggestions for us to make things perfect. Unfortunately, Covid has led to some changes at the venue, including the closure of the restaurant at the beginning of the week, but if those staying nearby like our family did plan ahead and make most meals “at home,” things will be just fine. The golf courses are beautiful!

    They came through pandemic and all

    My son was supposed to be married during the pandemic. Of course it had to be cancelled. Paula Benson and her team at Rumbling Bald could not have treated us better. They simply moved all of our planning…..rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, bonfire on the beach, pontoon boat, wedding, all the guest accommodations, golf……..to the next year. This is no small thing. The wedding weekend could not have been better. The entire staff at the resort came through for us. The rehearsal dinner was set up without me lifting a finger. The bonfire on the beach was “one of the most fun nights in years” according to the groom. And the wedding? Well, perfect! Combine the staff with the location and the views any you have the recipe for a great wedding. I highly recommend Rumbling Bald.

    Excellent Venue

    This venue exceeded our expectations and was prime in being budget friendly, secluded, beautiful and overall excellent. Everything was perfect and Paula, the coordinator, was one of the finest people I worked with throughout wedding planning. Five stars all around!

    Everything you need in one location and with high quality!

    We booked Rumbling Bald Resort after an extensive search of venues in the Asheville/Lake Lure area and the Raleigh/Durham area. Rumbling Bald resort has everything you need and provides a great location for families from all over the country to meet especially when family and friends are located all over the world. The resort is also well located near Asheville, Charlotte, and Greenville which makes travels to the location a lot easier. Not only is the location central to a lot of the airports, Rumbling Bald provides all the services you need for a wedding (from Hair and Makeup, Food, Beverages, to meal and drink planning).

    The most beautiful venue!

    A random google search of venues in North Carolina led me to Rumbling Bald, and I am so glad that it did! After looking at pictures online, my now husband and I decided we wanted to visit this venue, and see it in person. We saw the venue first on a cold, rainy December day and still fell in love with its beauty! From then on, we created a partnership with Paula and the Rumbling Bald staff where they were always helpful with our questions planning our special day. Planning a wedding when you live a couple hours away from the venue can be challenging, but Paula and the staff here made it very easy for me. We used...

    Great wedding venue!!

    Absolutely the most beautiful wedding venue. A mix between water (lake lure) and mountains makes for a beautiful location. The terrace for the reception offers coverage but still allows for beautiful views. Guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had been to, highly recommend. Paula is great to work with as well, very responsive to questions. Food was delicious as well!!

    I am so glad that my random "google" searching for mountain venues on the lake led us to Rumbling Bald. We had looked at a few other venues but as soon as my we pulled into the venue my dad said "This is the one I can already tell." We got so many compliments on the venue, the view, the food, etc that my list could go on. One thing that drew us to this venue was there there was so much "natural" decoration to it you didn't feel the need to over due it or have to stress about all the little things. One thing to make sure you do is get a good wedding planner for the...

    Rumbling Bald Resort and their staff were fantastic! From the very beginning stages of our wedding until the actual day of our wedding everything went perfectly and even better than we could have ever imagined. We weren't sure what to expect as this was a destination wedding and all the planning was going to have to be done from an hour or so away, but, Kathy and her team made it so incredibly easy and fun for us! Kathy was also someone you could count on to hear back from within a few hours, even on her days off! Also, even when last minute decisions had to be made (because of rain) there was never a problem and everything...

    The moment we walked out on the lakeview terrace at Rumbling Bald, my fiance and I were in love with it! There was never a moments doubt that we had discovered the perfect venue to be married. The setting is amazing- so beautiful and peaceful. The amenities were easy to access and offered our weekend guests plenty of options for housing and activities. The resort and its staff were all very attentive and took care of all my needs. All my questions were answered quickly and all requests were granted including special parking for my photo bus, additions to the menu, even providing a microphone at the reception to provide an even better end to the perfect day!

    Dream Wedding Venue! My husband and I had family come from all over and wanted something that could accommodate everyone, and this was it! We wanted the lake, mountains and beach which they had it all! On top of all of that, the staff at RBR was so accommodating to make it our special day, by even allowing us to have a beach ceremony, which was their first time ever allowing that. It couldn't have been more perfect for us!!!

    My only recommendation would be that upon check-in, a printed itinerary be included with the package of information along with specific instructions on how to get to where the wedding events are located (driving and walking). There were so many questions about what time and where people should be, that info would have helped.

    We all wanted you to know that the service we received from Matt (catering), Jesse (bartender) and Bri (wedding day contact and our waitress on 6/9) was outstanding. They took care of us like we were family. It was very much appreciated.

    The food (Legends, rehearsal dinner, reception, Lake View restaurant) was fabulous, the pool and volleyball were great, the boating and paddle boarding were fun and the golf was awesome.

    A perfect place to get married! It's beautiful all year round! The golf was perfect, putt putt was fun and the Rumbling Bald Spa was amazing. Kathy Dinatali was so helpful, easy to talk to, answered all questions in a timely manner and was on top of everything! Matt Davis was in charge on the day of the wedding and we could not compliment him enough. He is organized, on point and made the day run seamlessly. We were impressed by the service staff and clean up/set up crew. They did a perfect job as well.

    My daughter's wedding at Rumbling Bald Resort was a fairytale wedding. The staff (especially Maria) is amazing, the mountain location is beautiful and the food is amazing. We had appetizers, a buffet and added a prime rib carving station. We choose this location because all our guests stayed in the resort and we spent the entire long weekend together. I would definitely recommend Rumbling Bald Resort for a destination wedding.

    Where can I start??? Rumbling Bald Resort was the location of our dream wedding ceremony and reception on 10/11/2015. My husband and I had the greatest wedding weekend that we could have possibly had. From the start with my initial contact with Kathy DiNatali, I knew that I was in good hands. Kathy DiNatali is your main resource in setting up all of your event details while the banquet managers, Kathy Goode and Maria Ordaz execute your event. Most of my communications were through email in which everyone was prompt in their replies. Kathy D, Kathy G and Maria were the best and I cannot say enough good things about them. I seriously did not have to worry about...

    This place is amazing! We could not have asked for a better place to get married, it was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect weekend getaway spot for us and our guests. Maria is an amazing woman who helped us with everything on the day of the wedding, she made sure that everything was in order and that we were relaxed and happy the whole day. Overall, we love this place and will absolutely go back to vacation as well!

    Lake Lure is a beautiful city for a wedding, and Rumbling Bald resort was an AMAZING VENUE! We were so lucky to find this location, definitely the best decision we made during all of our wedding planning. Everyone at the resort is extremely friendly and helpful. Our wedding day went very smooth as the service was outstanding. We would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking to get married, and it is affordable as well.
