Rumbling Bald Saved Our Wedding

We got married here in 2021. We originally had arrangements at another venue in the area, but that venue cancelled on us just a couple of weeks before our wedding because they were having a bunch of internal issues. Rumbling Bald seriously saved our wedding. Despite the short notice and given the situation, Rumbling Bald agreed to do our wedding rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception. They quickly arranged a food tasting and went to work helping us plan the wedding. Not only that, but a church group that usually books the wedding area at the same time as our wedding every year decided to move the event to another spot at Rumbling Bald, which was incredibly sweet and meant a lot to us. Our wedding went smoothly, the staff was fantastic, and the venue was gorgeous. Thanks to Rumbling Bald, we went from wedding disaster to our perfect dream wedding. We’ll always remember not only our beautiful wedding, but the beautiful people who worked extra hard at the last moment to make our dreams come true. Can’t recommend this location enough.

Highly Recommend

I recently got married at Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure. It was the most amazing weekend ever. They welcomed us with our name on the announcement board, greeted us with welcome drinks, took our decorations upon arrival and did all the work for us. We had a delicious dinner at Legends the evening before the wedding, the bridal and groom suites were perfect for our preparations and lunch prior to the wedding, and the pier was just beautiful to get married on and our wedding dinner/reception at Gardens was perfect overlooking the grounds. The weekend could not have been any nicer from the very friendly staff, the beautiful decorations, the delicious food at every meal and all the amenities at the resort for our guests and us to use following the wedding festivities. I could go on and on, but overall, 10 stars and highly recommend this establishment for your event needs. They will accommodate whatever your visions are.

Wonderful Wedding Venue

We had our wedding at Rumbling Bald Resort in Lake Lure, NC, and it was truly the most perfect venue we could have imagined. From the stunning mountain to the beautifully maintained grounds, every detail made our day feel magical.

What really made the experience unforgettable was working with Jess and Patrick. They were both absolutely amazing — so organized, responsive, and genuinely kind. Jess made the planning process smooth and stress-free, always ready with helpful suggestions and quick answers to our many questions. Patrick was incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran seamlessly on the day of the wedding. Their teamwork and professionalism gave us complete peace of mind.

Our guests were in awe of the scenery, and we’re still getting compliments on how beautiful everything was. If you’re looking for a breathtaking location with a top-notch team behind it, we can’t recommend Rumbling Bald Resort enough!

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!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
