    The most stunningly beautiful backdrop to my daughter’s wedding.

    The Lodge on Brier Creek is absolutely breathtaking at every turn. With such a beautiful facility and grounds, the need for extra decor is minimal. The bridal suite and groom’s quarters are gorgeous and tastefully decorated. Jenna was excellent to work with on all accounts and we could not have been happier. She has everything you could want or need already on site and has an excellent working knowledge of how to create the wedding you want as well as great relationships with other vendors should you need anything. She is a great source for helping you create what you are dreaming. My daughter had a very specific vision in her mind of what she wanted, and when we pulled down the long gravel drive the first time and saw the venue in its full, seeing the giant walnut tree out on the hill, we knew this was the place. Beauty at every turn. It's a fabulous place to have your wedding.

    Exactly what we wanted!

    I cannot say enough good things about Jenna and the Lodge on Brier Creek. They were reasonably priced for the amount of time you get with the venue and the amount of help that they provide you. Not to mention their amenities and how perfect the place looks. From the grooms stable, to the bridal sweet, and the amount of locations you can do the ceremony, it was all amazing! Their inside for the reception was also huge and ready to accommodate the amount of guests we had. It held the buffet tables as well as everyone so comfortably and no one was on top of each other. Jenna was accommodating when it came to visiting the venue, working with her on what we needed from their storage, and they were there for the big day to help out in any way possible. I didn’t have a day-of coordinator but I don’t remember a single question being asked except if I needed anything! Beyond all that, Jenna was such a sweetheart and I am so blessed to have found this amazing venue for our perfect wedding. Everything went seamlessly and there is no other place I would rather have gotten married at!

    Wonderful experience !

    The Lodge on Briar Creek did a fantastic job in helping us host our event. Our ministry team actually chose the venue to use for a ladies "refresher" weekend. It is majestic. Jenna & Bart (owners) keep the Lodge & grounds looking amazing all the time. They are very accommodating , professional, kind we love dealing with them. We hope to use them again in the future.

    Dream Come True

    This venue and its people are amazing. It’s a beautiful expansive landscape with mountain views without the prices of those further up the mountain, and it’s so much more spacious and charming than anything we toured up there. The indoor of the venue is cozy, charming and beautiful and such a great open space. The bridal suite is gorgeous and there is a separate groomsman suite on premises which was not only convenient but so cool for the guys to be able to have their own space nearby. That is so rare and thoughtful. We had our rehearsal dinner here the night before and used the kitchen in the building which was amazing to be able to do. It’s not only r perfect venue but working with Jenna couldn’t have been better. She was kind, accommodating, and made you feel like a friend. She was helpful and responsive and you can tell she cares a lot about your day and doing whatever they can to make it better. We had help from her team member Tracy in our wedding day and she was incredible as well. She helped with lots of little details and anticipated things we might need without ever asking. My whole family and all of our guests said it was hands down the most beautiful place they’d visited for a wedding. If I could do it all over again l would choose LOBC again every time.

    Beautiful venue with covered patio

    The Lodge on Brier Creek was such a beautiful place to get married. What I loved about it was the large covered patio. It provided a beautiful back up plan in case of rain or inclement weather. We looked at about 15 other venues in the surrounding area and none other had a good backup plan that still would make a beautiful wedding!

    We got married September 19th and it was amazing. The owner, Jenna was so helpful on the day of our wedding and leading up to the wedding with answering questions, and letting us come to the venue to figure out seating and table arrangements.

    We had about 150 people at our wedding and the venue easily accommodated this

    Things we loved about the venue:
    — Bridal suite (perfect large space for getting ready and hanging out before the wedding, even with separate bathroom for our bridal party.
    — Grooms suite. Not many other venues had such a large grooms suite area, and it was away from the main barn
    — Reception space
    — Covered patio (you could even have your wedding in this are too if the weather was inclement
    — Separate entrance for kitchen staff
    — Ample parking on site
    — Reasonable price
    — Chairs and tables included
    — Cross and arbor available for our use (we ended up using both!)
    — The staff and owner were very helpful throughout the whole process
    — Easy to get to. No back roads, but very secluded
    — It is a BEAUTIFUL VENUE!

    We would definitely recommend this venue for countless reasons.

    Beautiful Large Venue- Rain or shine!

    Let me just start off with saying that I am very particular about things and Type A. We looked at so many venues before deciding to book with The Lodge on Brier Creek. We loved everything about the venue. We live in Boone, so it was about a 50 minute drive, but definitely worth it.

    We loved the area, the views, the bride and groom suites... and yes-- there is an entire area for the groom and groomsmen to get ready, not something that we saw in many other places. Jenna was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. She helped us figure out a layout for our 140 guests and allowed us to come to the venue to make sure everything was how we wanted!

    Our wedding was September 19th, 2021 and the weather unpredictable. We had the ceremony out in the field (with a gorgeous view) and our reception on the covered patio and indoor. It was PERFECT. It put me at ease having a beautiful backup plan in case it rained. We would have been able to easily move our ceremony under the covered patio. The venue itself is also very clean and beautiful. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready (and the lighting is great too).

    I could not have imagined my wedding anywhere else. We are so happy to have started our marriage here and celebrate with everyone we love!

    The Lodge on Brier Creek's reply:

    Thank you, Shauna! It was my pleasure to work with you & Cody. I appreciated your thoroughness & preparedness which all led to a wonderfully successful day! I am so glad we could accommodate your guests and that the venue met your expectations. We try to meet the needs of our couples as we are possibly able. Thank you for starting your life together here at our venue. Best Wishes ❤️

    This venue is so beautiful that you don’t need many decorations. The view is breathtaking! The owner is so easy to work with and accommodating to all of your needs. 10/10 recommended!

    The Lodge on Brier Creek's reply:

    It was so great to see your wedding day come together! I know that 2020 was not an easy time to plan a wedding, but I hope it was worth the wait! Thank you for allowing us to work with you! Best Wishes to you guys ❤️

    Wedding Celebration

    The Lodge was an ideal setting for a wedding. The facility had a rustic elegance to it and the grounds were meticulously maintained. The staff was very helpful and strived to assure a perfect ceremony. Even though it rained on the day of the wedding, the staff made accommodations to assure that the wedding proceeded without a hitch. The venue provided a wonderful location for an intimate and memorable wedding.

    Thank you so much, Kim! Your family was a delight to work with and we enjoyed being a part of your rehearsal & wedding day. Best Wishes to the Newlyweds!!!

    Amazing, helpful, beautiful indoor/outdoor space

    When I first communicated with Jenna I knew I wanted to work with her! Throughout our planning process she was incredibly friendly and so helpful. She helped us find vendors, was so easy to communicate with and very responsive! They are flexible and make you feel like you’re their only client! Everything went so smoothly on my wedding day thanks to Jenna and her coworkers! Not only are the people great but the venue is beautiful and has incredible views! I couldn’t have been happier working with this venue!

    The Lodge on Brier Creek's reply:

    Hannah, you were a joy to work with! I appreciate your allowing our venue & staff to be a part of your beautiful wedding. I know we initially met through a virtual tour & that can be challenging. Thank you for trusting us to help. I wish you & David the best!!!

    Jenna and her husband were wonderful to work with to make it a very special day for my daughter. They handle the few hiccups we ran into with ease, professionalism and understanding.

    Well taken care of

    Jenna was amazing to work with for our wedding. She was very responsive, answered questions, and often suggested other vendors in the area to help eliminate stress on finding vendors on your own. She did set up and tear down for the venue for us. For situations we did not think about, she was able to come up with a quick and appropriate solution on site to make our wedding flow flawlessly. I would recommend this bueatiful venue and these great people!

    Amazing Experience!

    We originally booked this venue under previous ownership of Gambill Estate in Nov 2019. We immediately fell in love with the breath-taking view from the ceremony hill top. We also felt it was important to have a covered pavilion space as a backup ceremony space. Jenna, the new owner reached out to us, she was quick to respond, was informative and helped answer any questions we had along the way. She made several upgrades to the venue, including a brand-new grooms suite, handmade wooden buffet tables, and a stationary bar with draft beer taps inside the reception area. We had our wedding here in October 2020, it was a beautiful day and the ceremony and venue far exceed our expectations. Jenna and her assistant were on site the day of the wedding to assist with any last-minute deliveries and setup details. They helped escort guests and made sure everything ran smoothly. We could not have asked for a better day. Thank you for your support and helping us have the wedding of our dreams.

    Jenna is very personable and professional!

    Jenna was very personable and professional to work with. Any time that my daughter or I had questions about her wedding she responded immediately. The day of my daughters wedding 10-10-20, she was there all day making sure we had everything we needed and everything went as planned. The wedding was beautiful and Jenna made my daughters special day less stressful and memorable. The venue is beautiful and Jenna is great. The Bridal Suite and Grooms Suite are great places for the wedding party to relax and get ready for the wedding. The Bridal Suite is in the main venue and the Groom Suite is in a separate barn so the bride and groom won’t see each other before the ceremony. The outdoor pavilion where my daughter was married is spectacular and adds a special touch to the venue. I highly recommend this venue to all brides that are looking for an elegant barn venue to be married at.

    Wonderful experience

    From the time that we reserved our venue and the date of our wedding our venue was bought and is now The Lodge on Brier Creek. We could not have been happier with the new owners and everything that they did in order to help make our day special! They were very helpful and always responded quickly. They had everything set up and ready for us to put the finishing touches on when we arrived. They also made some updates to the venue that absolutely made it better!! So thankful for them and how easy they made my wedding day so I could truly enjoy every second!

    The Lodge on Brier Creek's reply:

    Rachel, thank you so very much for your kind review! I enjoyed working with you, Jonathan, & your families. Your planning & preparedness made my job easy! Your wedding day was lovely & everything came together seamlessly. Thank you for entrusting such a memorable day to us at The Lodge. I wish you two a long, happy marriage. Best Wishes!

    A Dream Come True!

    This venue was absolutely beautiful and the owner was very accommodating, responsive and helpful. The bridal suite was large and elegant. Perfect for prep, pictures and having fun. The inside and transition onto the Pavilion created a prefect wedding flow. It rained the day of but that was no issue with the covered Pavilion and amount of space there is to arrange tables. The mountain backdrop and spacious grass areas made for some gorgeous pictures. We had to change venues last minuet but hands down The Lodge on Brier Creek gave us everything and more for our big day!

    Perfect wedding during an imperfect time

    We had picked Brier Creek before when it was Gambill estate and were so relieved to find that Jenna would honor our contract! Jenna was so very responsive and pleasant to work with, calmly guiding us through the process and giving options as we had to replan our daughters wedding twice due to the pandemic. Jenna was the perfect hostess, there when I needed her and faded to the background when I didn't. The day flowed beautifully and we were able to keep everyone safe. The bridal suite is key not only before the wedding but during for a little respite where you can recharge and still see the festivities. Can't tell you how relieved and grateful I am that Jenna bought the property - in the 5 months she was more present and helpful then the previous owners had been for the past 2 years! She never made me feel like we were bothering her and she was happy to offer advice when asked. Can't thank her enough for a day we will remember forever.

    Top notch beautiful venue with top notch owner!

    The Lodge on Brier Creek is a perfect beautiful venue in the Appalachian foothills for a beautiful event! My son and his bride had their wedding there this past weekend. The grounds are beautiful, not overly landscaped, just naturally pretty, lush grass, stunning views of the Brushy Mountains, and the facilities are top notch! A beautiful spacious bride room, a separate grooms stable, and the pavilion connected to the main banquet hall has the most beautiful view with a new stone patio with a stone fireplace. I hosted the rehearsal dinner under the pavilion and it was perfect! Jenna Mathis, the owner of The Lodge, was there to help with whatever I needed, listened to my needs, and acted with professionalism and in a calm friendly manner. She is a jewel to work with! A problem with the air conditioning in the grooms building on rehearsal night—fixed by the next morning for the wedding! I can’t say enough about the facility, ample parking, good sized kitchen with easy access for caterers, beautiful lighting in main barn and outside. You won’t be disappointed!

    I couldn’t recommend Gambill Estate enough. I wish there was a way to give more stars! My fiancé (now husband) and I were looking for an affordable venue without sacrificing the views, amenities, and quality of service. After searching for weeks we found Gambill Estate and met with the owner, Eric. From that meeting on we knew we had made the right decision. What an absolutely amazing place to start your forever. Eric was very quick to get back in touch with us and cater to our needs whenever possible. He gave us advice on scheduling, set up, views, everything. And there weren’t 100 different people to go through. You get Eric and he answers everything fo you. He does EVERYTHING! And the view. Oh my God the view... I chose to use the pavilion for the ceremony. A big open area with views of the mountains behind you and the bridal party. It was absolutely breathtaking. I still can’t get over how amazing the entire experience was in great part because of Eric and the Gambill Estate. I can’t express enough how perfect the whole experience was there. I recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you Gambill Estate for making my wedding day so perfect!

    Baby shower

    This venue is absolutely perfect and the owners couldn’t be more helpful and supportive. Jenna is amazing! Our baby shower was everything we could have ever imagined!
