Question

Brown Mountain Beach Resort - What's That?

Answer

Surrounded by 49,000 acres of beautiful wilderness, our wedding venue won't just host the ceremony, but all of the wedding events as well. We hope that almost everyone will be able to stay on property with us, but understand if you'd rather make other lodging arrangements! The grounds have cozy yurts & cabins if you choose to stay at BMBR. Grab some coffee or a snack at the cafe, check out the creek, or walk down to the farm area to meet the animals!

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Click the RSVP tab on the wedding website and enter what is written on your envelope i.e. The X Family or Mrs. Jane Doe & Mr. John Doe. Feel free to reach out if you are having trouble though and we can help!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP as soon as possible or by October 1st, 2024 at the latest. If you do not RSVP by the given date, we will assume you are unable to attend.

Question

What do I do if I can't make it?

Answer

You will be dearly missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "not attending" so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!

Question

Will there be wifi or cell service?

Answer

BMBR is located in the Pisgah National Forest, where cell phone service isn't reliable. Wifi is available at the Rock Pavillion or the main deck area if you need it. We recommend downloading the area on Google Maps as well as any playlists or audiobooks you might want over the weekend.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Only those included on the invitation are invited, but if you are unsure just reach out to us. Thanks for your understanding!

Question

What are the food options whenever a wedding event is not happening?

Answer

There is a cafe on the property that offers coffee and smoothies, as well as some breakfast and lunch options. If you are staying on the property, all lodgings have a kitchen/kitchenette as well as a fridge. If you are looking for groceries there are options in Lenoir or Morganton (Food Matters Market & Cafe, Ingles, Food Lion, Walmart). There is also a Publix located in Hickory or Boone. There are some restaurants to choose from in Morganton and other surrounding towns if you want to eat out.

Question

What do I do if I want to stay at Brown Mountain Beach Resort?

Answer

All of the cabins are taken by family and the wedding party, but there are 10 yurts to choose from. For more information including videos of each yurt please visit BMBR's website. https://brownmountainbeach.com/about-brown-mountain-beach/accommodations/yurts/ If you decide to stay in a yurt, please input your information into the Google doc under the travel tab. Insert your name and info next to the option you want to stay in (especially your email). We will give this information to BMBR once we have reached the RSVP deadline and know what everyone's accommodations are. Once they've received that they will send out an invoice via email. Check-in is either Thursday at 3 pm or Friday at 3 pm and check-out is Sunday at 11 am. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Question

What if I want to arrive early?

Answer

If you are able to join us on Thursday we would love to see you! There is no official wedding event happening so please do not stress about arriving on Thursday. We will probably do a very laidback hang on Thursday evening with some snacks provided and BYOB. Just let us know if you plan on coming early and attending.

Yes! We are currently working on the details. If you'd like to take a break, the venue offers childcare (for a fee) during the reception. Please contact Gavin or Victoria if you would like to use this service.
