Why Big R Orchards is the Ideal Spot for an Intimate Wedding Celebration

We've watched countless couples fall in love with our mountain top setting the moment they step onto our golf-green peninsula. There's something about the way Big R Orchard's 6-acre private lake reflects the surrounding apple and peach orchards that makes even the most practical couples pause and smile.

As a family venue on Brushy Mountain, we've designed our 150-acre property to feel both intimate and grand.

The Perfect Scale for Meaningful Celebrations

When you're planning an intimate wedding, the venue size matters as much as the setting. We've found that couples want spaces that feel personal, not empty or cramped. Here's how Big R Orchard's mountain property creates the right atmosphere for celebrations that actually feel like you.

Spaces That Actually Fit Your Guest Count

Our venue works beautifully for 50 to 200 guests. You'll never feel lost in an oversized ballroom or squeezed into a space that's too small.

The Grand Hall gives you 6,000 square feet with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and glass entryway. Step outside and you'll find our 1,760 square foot dance floor under string lights.

For ceremonies, the golf-green peninsula creates something special. Your guests stay cool in full shade most of the year while you exchange vows with the lake behind you. The natural setting carries your voices clearly without extra equipment.

Service That Stays Personal

We aren't a full-service venue, which means we focus on what we do best. We provide the mountain setting and connect you with our trusted vendor partners. You'll get contact information for caterers, florists, and other professionals who know our property well.

This gives you flexibility while ensuring your vendors understand how to work with our unique spaces.

Everything Included, Nothing Extra to Rent

Your booking comes with tables and chairs for every part of your celebration. We provide 30 round tables, plus rectangular and cocktail options. The 200 Chiavari chairs work perfectly in the pavilion, while white chairs complement the peninsula.

Our full prep kitchen has three industrial refrigerators, a food warmer, and a 400-pound ice maker. The separate caterer entrance keeps vendor activity away from your guests. The custom granite bar includes a four-tap kegerator for local craft beer or cider.

Four Seasons Up Here Feel Different

The cooler mountain temperatures make every season comfortable. Spring brings blooming fruit trees. Summer offers natural cooling from the lake. Autumn turns our orchards brilliant orange and red.

Even winter feels magical with mountain views and our heated indoor spaces.

Photo Opportunities 

Big R Orchard weddings & event venue offers engagement and bridal portrait sessions across our full 150 acres. The lake, orchards, and mountain vistas give you variety without traveling between locations.

Many couples love the contrast between cultivated orchard rows and wild areas around the lake.

Conclusion:

We're here to help you create exactly the intimate celebration you're envisioning. Our mountain setting provides the backdrop while you bring the joy.
