We know that every bride wants their wedding day to run without any hiccups so we spoke with our wedding specialists about the experiences they’ve had with couples throughout the years. Here are tips on the best way to have a successful wedding at Rumbling Bald Resort.
1. Use the Suggested Vendor List
Whether you’re seeking a florist, photographer, officiant, rental equipment provider or entertainer, our list of recommended vendors is a great tool. While you are not required to use our vendors, choosing from our list ensures that you will receive a quality product or service partly because each of our vendors have been recommended by at least three brides who held their weddings at Rumbling Bald Resort. As an additional benefit, these vendors are familiar with our facilities and can offer insights from other experiences they’ve had at our location.
2. Use a Wedding Planner/Coordinator
There’s always going to be a small amount of stress surrounding a wedding no matter how far in advance you plan, but having a wedding planner can help diminish that stress. A wedding planner can assist with as little or as much as you want however, we’ve found that using a coordinator’s services for at least decorating and rehearsal results in the best match up for our facilities. Wedding coordinators who are familiar with the Resort are on our vendor list.
3. Schedule a Tasting
Aside from the cake, we do require that the catering for your dinner/reception be provided by the Resort. Whether your wedding plans include an intimate bridal luncheon, a casual rehearsal dinner on the beach, or a reception of any size, we offer a culinary experience your guests will remember for years. We can design an inspired catering menu that varies from classic buffet offerings to fine dining selections, and our professional service team will make it an unforgettable occasion. Schedule a trip to the Resort, sit with our chef to review the menu and sample the food you will serve. Taking this time to plan will give you peace of mind that the food you choose will perfectly fit your event.
4. Visit for Hair and Makeup
Brides getting married at the Resort can take advantage of our skilled hair and makeup stylists to help complete their wedding day look. If you choose to use our services, which 70% of our brides do, we suggest scheduling a trial appointment. Scheduling this time to work with our professionals will ensure that you have the look you want for your day.

5. Keep the Decorations Simple
One of the benefits to getting married at Rumbling Bald Resort is the gorgeous backdrop. While the scene still looks great with a large amount of decorations. Kathy suggests keeping decorations simple and letting the scenic views of Lake Lure and the surrounding Blue Ridge mountains do the work for you.
Why it’s great to get married at Rumbling Bald Resort!
In addition to providing a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding day festivities, the Resort also provides built-in entertainment for guests. From boating, hiking, golfing and fishing, your friends and family will have everything they need make a memorable weekend. Another benefit to holding your wedding at the Resort is our convenient on-site lodging accommodations. Once you lock in your wedding day, we can block out dates and accommodations. Guests can choose from small villas to a 6 bedroom house all within their budget.
Warning! Many couples choose to hold a destination wedding in an effort to cut down on the guest list. However, as some of our couples have learned, once invited guests conduct research on the Resort, many decide to make a vacation of it!
