About

Big R Orchards - Wedding and Event Venue is a beautiful new venue located on top of Brushy Mountain in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Wilkesboro, NC. Situated on 145 acres of family owned land, this venue is located on a working apple & peach orchard with a 6 acre lake and a golf green peninsula.

The new "barn" is sided and trimmed with exotic wood from New Zealand. The windows are hand-made. 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 4000 square feet with 2 huge chandeliers, Edison string lights, and post lights. There is a 1760 square foot dance floor with string fairy lights.

The venue/orchard would be available for bridal pictures on the grounds by appointment. The furniture is all new. There are 200 pewter chiavari chairs with ivory cushions, 200 white folding resin chairs, 30 60" round tables (seats 8 ), 4 8' rectangular tables, and 10 30" round cocktail tables. The daily rental cost of the tables & chairs provided is almost $2500 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, a photo booth made from apple pallets, 12 wine barrels (6 are used as trash cans), 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 barn 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

Wonderful Winter Wedding

I cannot speak highly enough of Big R Orchards, Scott and Eric. The venue itself is gorgeous with so many little details that add to the beauty. In addition, there are several photo opportunities around the property. I do want to put a special emphasis on the amazing level of communication that everyone involved had with me leading up to and on the big day. This venue was everything we could have wanted and so much more!

Just give them your money!!!

All I can say is BOOK this venue...send them your money don’t even think twice about it, you won’t regret it!!!!

I can’t praise Scott, Angie and their family enough!!!! They made my wedding day truly magical....so magical I still feel like I’m living in a fairytale!! Scott went out of his way to make everything perfect and run seamlessly. Everyone should book this venue...and make sure to invite us, we can’t wait to go back!!!!! You truly will not find a better venue!

Just a few examples of how Scott goes above and beyond:
I have wedding day pictures that range from the lake and floating dock to the orchard with apple and peach trees, he even took us to a corn field (where else could you get all of that in one venue)
He met with me on multiple occasions to let me walk around and look even though it wasn’t included in our contract
He let me take a second round of bridal portraits literally a week before my wedding and was happy to be there to help (even taught us how to fluff the dress he’s an expert)

I could go on forever but I’ll end exactly how I started......just give him your money you won’t regret it!!!

Stunning venue!

I cannot express enough that pictures just do not do this venue justice, it is absolutely STUNNING! The owner, Scott is absolutely phenomenal to work with and makes sure things are set up exactly the way you want them for your big day. He was there for me no questions asked, ready to help from the day I toured the venue until we were packing up after the wedding. He truly is one of the most caring, helpful people I’ve ever met! He made suggestions I never would have thought of but they worked out perfectly. The bridal and groom suites are very spacious, the large kitchen is perfect for food prep and storage, the fireplace is absolutely gorgeous and the views are breathtaking! Scott and his family really put a lot of time, thought and detail into making this venue unique and beautiful.

I HIGHLY recommend getting married or having your next event here!

Highly recommend Big R Orchards

We chose Big R Orchards for our wedding and definitely didn’t regret it. Great location, beautiful property, welcoming environment, and great ownership. With this venue we were able to have everything in one place and yet have multiple backdrops/settings that still went together well. Great for photography, and DJ services as well, not to mention great kitchen for catering, and an amazing all around event building. Big R Orchards not only made our experience convenient with how flexible they’re willing to be, but show how truly willing they are to go the extra mile to ensure a great experience. We highly recommend Big R Orchards!

Great location for weddings as well as other large gatherings

Big R is perfect for not only weddings, but other gatherings as well. I recently had my baby shower there and it could not have been a more perfect location. Scott and Angie are a dream to work with and the location is stunning! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding or event venue!

Mother of the groom

I highly recommend Big R Orchards. The owners Scott and Angie are genuine and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure Chase and Emma had their dream wedding. So many guests commented on what a perfect place for a special day. Everything was absolutely amazing. From the bridal suite and grooms suite, to the reception area, dance floor, kitchen, lighting, and guest bathrooms was wonderful. The lake where the ceremony was held, was breathtaking! Scott, Angie, what you have achieved in your corner of the Brushy Mountains is nothing short of heavenly. I loved the peace and quiet, tranquility, and sense of being with nature. Thank you for everything to make Chase and Emma’s day so perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
