Junebug Asheville

we looked at & it was immediately clear to us that it would be the perfect place to have our wedding. The setting is incredible & unlike any place we have ever been. The flower field was gorgeous, created w/love & a beautiful backdrop for photos. The creek sounds gave a sense of ease & grounding. The shaded ceremony site w/built-in natural seating blended in & looked like it was a magical setting you came upon in the forest so you could sit & witness something incredible. Honestly a big selling point for us, aside from the amazing vintage campers & all-around vibes, was Charlene, who owns & operates the venue w/her husband Tom (who is also so kind & supportive). Charlene was an integral part of bringing our day together. She is a VIRGO QUEEN! She immediately made us feel comfortable & cared for & like we could plan this daunting event ourselves & she gave us tools & reassurance to do so. She knows what she is doing & she loves doing it & that meant everything to us. From her preferred vendor list to her help when we were in decision fatigue & overwhelmed, to her impeccable & flawless performance as our day-of-coordinator. She orchestrated our wedding day to run like a well-oiled machine, w/vendors being coordinated well & on time, & made sure events & people were where they needed to be & when, while still doing it w/love & fun/chill energy. She is so experienced & professional that she took care of everything behind the scenes so that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She was so stress-free, it was refreshing & exactly what we needed. We are a lesbian couple & it’s not always a guarantee that a venue will feel safe & welcoming & supportive. At JB, we immediately felt seen, were treated equitably, & felt just as much excitement (if not more) for our union to take place there. Later in the planning process when we faced hard familial decisions & discussions, because it isn’t always easy being queer in the south, we reached out to Charlene & were met w/understanding, compassion, & the best embrace we could have asked for. It was just pure love when we needed it most. We will always be grateful for that. The atmosphere on the other side of the venue & the campers were such a sweet & unique focal point. Getting to stay in them was so special & created a warm & vibey setting where we got to feel into the past, be present, & step forward into our future together. From the rehearsal & welcome party, to getting ready in the camper together, to the First Look at the Treehouse, to guests getting to explore the forest resort, to the after party at the fire pit, to bagels & coffee the next morning, the entire weekend felt like our own private camp, our own private bubble where only love & support existed. The whole venue created that energy for us in so many ways & we are forever grateful to be a part of the JB family now. The JB staff also deserve a huge shout out (& an extra thanks to you, Greta!) for running everything so smoothly & professionally, from the rehearsal on Friday to check out on Sunday. They were full of nothing but love & support for us as well, & they felt like family, too. Words cannot fully capture what JB or Charlene & Tom mean to us, but I hope you will get to go there one day & witness the magic that is JuneBug Retro Resort.

special and worry-free. They truly care about their clients and that was made evident to us on our first phone call with Charlene. Words can’t even begin to describe how grateful we are to have found Junebug!!! Our entire wedding was better than we could have ever imagined thanks to them, Charlene truly remembers every tiny details and worked so hard to ensure us and our families were able to relax and cherish our big day. As a bride who did a lot of DIY-ing and did not have a wedding coordinator, Charlene was a literal life saver. Any questions or concerns I had, Charlene had an answer or advice! We got so many compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed staying in the campers, exploring the Junebug property, and getting to know the Junebug owners/staff. You truly will not experience a more dedicated and genuine team of people on your wedding day, we are so lucky to have had our wedding here and to have met Charlene and Tom. Our favorite memories will be sitting by the fire with our friends and family the night before our wedding, laughing in the hammocks over the creek, feeling like we were all at one big sleep away camp playing games and making memories before the most perfect wedding day! Junebug is a one of a kind place, run by one of a kind people. 

h all of our best friends made the experience even more special. The weather was beautiful, the setting was magical, and everything came together better than we could have imagined. Charlene and Tom are incredible hosts. They truly go above and beyond to make sure every detail is taken care of. They’re professional, organized, and also just genuinely fun to be around, which made the whole weekend even more enjoyable. As a bride, I especially appreciated how Charlene kept me on schedule, made sure I had everything I needed, and took care of all the behind-the-scenes details so I could fully relax and enjoy each moment. Some of our favorite memories are from the end of each night, sitting around the fireplace with our closest friends, laughing and soaking in the magic of the weekend. Those moments were the perfect way to wind down and will forever be some of our most cherished. If you’re looking for a unique, beautiful, and welcoming venue for your big day, Junebug Retro Resort is the place. We’ll cherish the memories we made here forever!

an outdoor garden party vibe with laid-back energy from start to finish. Truly, it was everything we had imagined and more. What really sold me on JuneBug was a review I read on The Knot that said, “You may be asking: how is it possible that every single review is 5 stars? Surely that’s wrong… Nope. That’s just how good Junebug is” & let me tell you every single one of these 5 stars is absolutely deserved. Charlene, venue owner & day of coordinator extraordinaire, is a huge part of what makes this place so special. She is warm, calm, organized, and just an incredible presence throughout the entire process. My husband was finishing his thesis, and I was working full-time night shifts during our short planning window — we were overwhelmed and had very little time to plan. But Charlene made the process feel manageable and even fun. She helped guide us through everything with encouragement, confidence and clarity, and by the time the wedding day came, I had zero stress. We were truly able to live in the moment of our big day because I knew Charlene had everything handled — including little hiccups I didn’t even know about until days later. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. From the gorgeous outdoor ceremony space to the cozy and beautiful campers, every detail was perfect. We loved getting to stay on-site with our family and friends, ending the night with a bonfire — it made the entire weekend feel intimate, relaxed, and full of joy. The entire team was so kind and helpful. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests specifically about the venue and how magical the whole day felt. If you’re considering JuneBug: do it. I truly don’t have a single negative thing to say. Just having Charlene as your day-of coordinator is worth the cost alone — but with everything else JuneBug offers, it’s a no-brainer. We are so thankful we chose this place to start our forever. Thank you Charlene & Tom!

We loved that so much of our wedding was all inclusive. We chose BBQ for our catering and chose a basic vanilla wedding cake, but it was honestly the best tasting wedding cake that I have ever had and it looked beautiful too. Our flowers were bright and fun and brought color to our day. We also rented out the vintage RVs to get ready in and for our friends to spend the night in after the ceremony. This was a really unique and fun experience. On our wedding day, it rained after the ceremony, but everyone was able to stay dry under the treehouse canopy and it somehow even added more romance to the space. It is also incredible that we didn't have to set up or clean up anything and were able to enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We are beyond grateful that we were able to get married here and would give Junebug 1000 stars if we could.

e country). When we found Junebug we knew it would be perfect for our retro 70s-inspired wedding. One of our favorite things about the venue was that our entire wedding party could stay on site for the weekend. With family and friends that live all over the place, it was so special to have that extra time on property with them. Extra time on property also helped alleviate the stress of set up and break down. As for our wedding day, everything went smoothly and we pulled off a beautiful outdoor ceremony despite the threat of rain. Charlene and Tom are both so kind and helpful. As a type A bride, it was difficult for me to relinquish control, but I trusted Charlene fully to keep things running smoothly on the wedding day. I don’t know what we would have done without her. Of course the venue cat Norman was a nice bonus and loved by many of our guests. We’re so thankful to Junebug for facilitating such a magical weekend that we’ll remember fondly for the rest of our lives. We’ve had so many people tell us how much they loved the venue and that our wedding was one of their favorites they’ve been to. Bottom line we 100% recommend Junebug for your event. It’s a venue with great vibes, a beautiful and unique setting and an amazing team.

offered recommendations for photographers, hair/makeup artists and musicians which was extremely helpful while planning a destination wedding. When I tell you that everything went perfectly on our day, I mean EVERYTHING. I felt so relaxed and confident that everything would be handled and it was. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and the food from Luella's Bar-B-Que was delicious. Even though we weren't able to meet Kelly, our day-of coordinator, until the actual wedding day, she immediately felt like a friend and took care of all the logistics like a pro. I could go on and on but if you're looking into having an intimate outdoor wedding in the Asheville area, you should definitely be considering JuneBug!

agical evening with our closest family and friends. The treehouse is absolutely beautiful and the surrounding mountains and nature made for some incredible pictures. Kelly was a fantastic day of coordinator and made me feel confident that she would help us execute our vision. And boy did she! We cant say enough good things about Kelly! Charlene was easy to reach and very helpful during the planning process. The flowers, cake, and food were delicious. We could not have asked for a better experience!
