Question
Do I need to book my own cabin/yurt at Brown Mountain Beach Resort?
Answer
No, I will assign you and your family a cabin/yurt based on availability and size of your family after I receive all the RSVPs! Please let me know if you have a specific budget in mind! Prices range from $175-$295 per night. They will contact you for payment closer to the wedding date once you have been assigned a cabin! In order for everyone to fit onsite, I may ask some smaller sized families to room together. I will contact you personally if this is necessary. If you are not okay with this, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you!

Answer
No, we should have room for everyone to stay on site at Brown Mountain Beach Resort! But if you do not want to stay on site I can give you hotels in the area as well.
Question
Do I have to stay onsite?
Answer
Of course not! Please let me know if you would prefer to stay offsite! I can provide you a list of hotels if you are interested.
Question

Answer
Yes! You are responsible for getting yourself and your family to and from the wedding venue! Charlotte Douglas International Airport is about a 1.5 hour drive to the venue.
Question
Am I allowed to bring someone who isn't on the RSVP list?
Answer
Most likely no. I should have significant others and children's names on the RSVP. If you believe I've made an mistake forgetting someone, please contact Ashley directly.
Question
What info do I need for the tubing activity on Monday the 30th?
Answer
It will be $15 per person attending! This fee includes the tubes, life jackets if needed, and trolley trips to the beginning of the creek. Activity is from 11-2 on June 30th. One tubing trip takes about 30 minutes and you will end back at the Brown Mountain Beach Resort. You can take the trolley as many times as you want during 11-2. Per google it is recommended that children are 7 years of age and up to participate but I do not believe there is an age restriction. This is a class III rapid. Please keep this in mind if you allow your child younger than 7 to participate. You must arrive on the 29th to participate in this activity. If you do not want to participate in this, or have children you don't want participating, please reply "will not attend" on the RSVP page.
Question
The rehearsal dinner is 1920’s themed night, think Great Gatsby style! Do I have to dress up?
Answer
There is no obligation to dress up but we would love everyone to participate! Matthew and I will be dressed to our 20’s best! Men: Suspenders, hat, pinstripes, vests. Women: Glitz and glamour, fringe, headpieces, pearls.
Question
Is there anyone to watch my kids?
Answer
Yes, Brown Mountain Beach Resort offers onsite babysitting! It costs about $15-20 per hour/per family. I will reach out to all families with children before the wedding to see if you are interested in any babysitting. They will need this info a couple days before the wedding to make sure they have enough qualified staff onsite. There is more info about babysitting on their website.
Question
Are my kids allowed at the ceremony?
Answer
Of course! Kids are not restricted from any of the activities this week! Babysitting is totally optional throughout the week. Keep in mind tubing is recommended for 7 years old and up. If you would like to participate in this activity and do not want your kids coming, you are responsible for finding care with a another adult family member not participating or you can use the babysitting service!
Question
Is Brown Mountain Beach Resort pet friendly?
Answer
Yes! They must be on a leash at all times when not in your assigned cabin/yurt. There is a $25 pet fee. Please let me know if you want to being your pet!
Question
Is there cell phone service or wifi?
Answer
There is NO cell phone service here. We are thinking of bringing walkie talkies to be able to communicate while on property! There is wifi at the main deck area if needed to be able to receive texts, calls, emails and to view maps on your phone of the area. You will not have wifi in your cabin/yurt unless you provide a hotspot! Brown Mountain likes to say this is the perfect place to disconnect for the week and enjoy the nature! Please plan accordingly!
