Golf Green Penisula

Golf Green Peninsula that juts out into a 6 acre lake - perfect place to get married

This ceremony space is a golf green peninsula that juts out into a 6 acre privately owned lake. It is a stunning place to get married. One important detail, even though this is primarily an outdoor venue, the green is fully shaded during the ceremony - 5:00 to 6:30pm for most of the year (April - Sept 15th). This makes your guests and wedding party much more comfortable and it makes your pictures better. We are on top of Brushy Mountain so we are typically 10 degrees cooler than Wilkesboro.

    Scott with Big R Orchards is phenomenal! He is a joy to work with - professional, positive energy, incredibly kind and gets the job done! He was very responsive and answered all of my many questions throughout the planning process. He also gladly accommodated a few last minute set up changes. Scott was extremely helpful during the ceremony, carting us across the property to get to our spots for ceremony and golden hour. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained. We had a fall wedding and the trees were just gorgeous! The tables, chairs and decore that he provided were exactly as described. The venue structure is awesome and the recent upgrades really elevated the space. Scott’s space is already so beautiful that you really don’t need much in terms of decore. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding venue with natural beauty that won’t break the bank, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, owner or crew to work with!

    I had my wedding here this May and it was the most beautiful landscape and pavilion. The bridal suite is my favorite. The owner of the venue was very helpful with setting up our tour and use of the property for my bridal pictures, and he helped us on the day of the wedding with fixing our arbor and everything! The price is VERY reasonable!

  • Best Place to Get Married!
