Planner Event

Event Details

Come join us for a very special planner open house and networking experience on Friday, August 9th of this year! We’ve invited the top planners across the state (and beyond!). We would love to have you visit our property on Beech Mountain, NC and let us treat you to a day of networking, food, and fun! You’re usually the #GritBehindTheGlam, but for this event we want you to just enjoy the #Glam. You are welcome to bring either a second member of your planning team or your significant other as we are planning some fun for partners too! Here’s a preliminary schedule of what to expect:

Friday, August 9th:
12:00-12:45 – Check in at Overlook & Tours
12:45-1:30 Light Lunch and Beverages
1:30-3:00 Networking and Round Table Discussions on Planner Issues/ Games and Wine/Beer Tasting for Significant Others on Overlook Meadow
3:00-5:00 – Downtime (go rest and relax, check in to your lodging, and explore Banner Elk!)
6:00-7:00 Cocktails and Music in Cliffside Barn
7:00-8:00 – Dinner in Overlook Barn
8:00-9:30 Sweet Treats, Music, and More Cocktails in Cliffside Barn

We encourage you to come for the day and spend the night ….we would even suggest making a weekend out of it if you’re able! The mountains have so much fun to offer and the mountains in the summertime are the perfect retreat from the heat! Some of our favorite things include: visiting the Banner Elk Winery, tubing down the New River with a cooler of wine, taking the ski lift to the top of Beech Mountain for a refreshing beverage and live music…and the list goes on!

About Us

Overlook Barn began when owners Katie and David decided to renovate her grandfather’s barn for their own wedding. Her father lovingly led the charge on renovations and they were wed in August of 2015. Since then, Overlook Barn has grown to be a destination venue for couples all across the US. We love sharing our venue with couples and seeing the joy in their celebrations; and we are so excited to invite you to this planner’s retreat!
