Hear directly from our Couples.
We know how heartbreaking it can be to have your wedding plans disrupted, especially after so much love and effort has gone into creating your special day ❤️🩹.
🗓️We’ve had many couples and vendors asking if we have any dates available this November or December so we wanted to list our availability and share an offer for 30% off our Overlook venue price to help with couples dealing with displacement.
Our hope is that by keeping weddings in the N.C. mountains we will give local vendors the opportunity to do what they love during this time of disruption. 🤍✨
To our fellow venues: we’re not here to step in when you can still operate, but to offer a solution for those whose plans have been uprooted by the hurricane. If your venue can’t reopen in time, we’d be honored to help couples find a new home for their celebration 💕. (We are also asking couples to share with us the communication from their venue stating they won’t be able to host prior to booking with us 🫶).
We’re all in this together, and we look forward to seeing the love and joy shared in the mountains once again ⛰️

There`s always hope on the horizon.
Amazed by the resourcefulness and resilience we`ve seen in these beautiful mountain communities and are so impressed with recovery efforts. We continue to recommend @feedingaveryfamilies828 as a local nonprofit that will continue to help this beautiful community in an ongoing capacity.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us about Overlook. Overlook and our team members are all well. <3

The worst of destruction and the best of humanity ❤️🩹.
Hurricane Helene brought devastation to this area and we have witnessed first hand the power of neighbors helping neighbors, how far kind words can go, and the incredible generosity of people.
It’s hard to describe in words the feelings when a couple whose wedding we are canceling has our community at the forefront of their hearts and minds. 🫶
While we are filled with gratitude that our team is safe and Overlook Barn fared well in the storm, WNC in general, and the small towns in our county (Avery) did not. 😔
We continue to point people in the direction of @feedingaveryfamilies828 as an established nonprofit in this area who has distribution networks. If you are able, please donate to them. They are doing amazing work.
We also know that winter is quickly approaching and that for many in our area, they will need ongoing support. Be ready to hear from us as we learn more about that and can point you to ways to help.
Immense gratitude for everyone reaching out to us and taking action to help this beautiful mountain community 🫶.

Anthony and Dinorah`s microwedding this past April was one for the books. They had a special vision for their day, opting to florals on to our microwedding package. And, boy, was it gorgeous!!
Even though Overlook Barn can host weddings of 250+ guests, we also have a sweet microwedding package built around Cliffside Barn that`s perfect for an intimate wedding. So, if you`d like to celebrate with a smaller guest count-- and outsource a lot of your wedding planning-- inquire with us about these packages!

This stunning April wedding was filled with vibrant oranges, lush florals, and sweet, personal touches that made the day truly unforgettable!
From the gorgeous décor to the fun cocktail sign featuring the couple’s signature drinks (and a nod to their pup 🐾), every detail was designed to reflect their unique style. 🍊💐
It was a perfect blend of elegance and *personality*, celebrating love in full bloom. 🧡 Cheers to a beautiful day and an even more beautiful couple! 🥂

🤔 When we see vendors who tell couples all the ins and outs of hiccups during a wedding day, we are highly skeptical that they have the couples’ best interest in mind, but really just want to be seen as the hero of the day.
Instead, what is more typical of professional vendors is those who have been-there, done-that, and who can quickly identify and solve hiccups that can happen on a wedding day so that the couple can go on in their blissful ignorance🌟🙌
And, if there are some crazy things that happened (like when my dad ran his tractor into our electrical system two days prior to our wedding and took it out and almost himself 😬) save those stories for the days, weeks, or months after the wedding when it’s all resolved and can be a crazy/funny/wild story!
💪Vendors who are doing everything you can to prevent and fix issues on the wedding day *without* involving the couple or their loved ones, we see you and we love you 😘

We are convinced this is one of the best wedding hacks there is 💐✨
Doing this is wonderful if you love flowers and want to have some bold visuals for your ceremony and reception but also want to stretch your budget as much as it can go…
Here’s the hack: repurpose your ceremony florals! ✨ They can go so well at a sweetheart table, in the welcome area, guest book area, or even the dancefloor- we’ve seen all of those! And they were all so magical 🥂
Talk to your florist about how to design the florals so that they go in both of the locations you’re envisioning well (the florist may shape them differently, attach them differently, or use different containers depending on the purposes you have in mind).
Share this with someone who would love to make the most of their floral budget! 💍 🌺
