Junebug Asheville

ganized but calm and easy to work with. We ended up having our wedding AND rehearsal at JuneBug and everyone was so glad to spend so much time there.

ndors she has worked with in the past. Deciding to go with them was a great help because they knew what would look great at the venue. Wishing I could do it all over again!

e it special. Highly recommend!

ur rehearsal dinner and wedding at JuneBug and the venue owner, Charlene, helped us organize it all. We planned our destination wedding during COVID restrictions which meant that our vendors were booked sight unseen purely on Charlene’s recommendation, and everything from the music to the food turned out better than we could have imagined! She made sure to ask us all the event questions we hadn’t even thought of, and coordinated all of our vendors after we booked them which made our wedding day seamless. We can’t recommend JuneBug enough, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had in such a unique setting!

very responsive to our requests and the day of went smoothly under her guidance. We had a excellent small band (Melonbelly) and photographer (Beautiful life photography) and she coordinating seamlessly with those vendors despite not working with them before. We would highly recommend working with Charlene and Tom at their unique treehouse setting or at their larger venue. Their property is gorgeous and they take excellent care of it.

oo! They were so accommodating and it really helped make the whole event that much better. And we cannot speak highly enough about the treehouse itself!! So unique, so beautiful, and it felt so special. The rope swing was an excellent touch! If you are having a small wedding, have it here!

ly the treehouse location for pictures but also down at the creek. We did a micro wedding with only 20 people and it was so sweet and intimate. Everything was so well organized and the planning was so easy thanks to Charlene. The food and cake were delicious too. I cannot say enough about how amazing the whole experience was!

ext away with my questions leading up to the wedding, which I really appreciated. The dinner & cake were delicious, flowers gorgeous, and atmosphere intimate & stress free. I will also never forget the small gestures from the Junebug staff that made our night perfect, and helped family & friends. All of our guests said it was the best wedding that they had ever been too!

that they would take care of us. Their treehouse is one of the most beautiful small wedding venues in WNC!!

th Charlene - it was perfect. We felt it. We had no idea it could get even better! We arrived for our complimentary stay to tour the property and meet with vendors and feel even MORE in love with the venue and also Charlene and her husband. We’ll spare you all the details leading up to the actual day, but know that I emailed Charlene an ENDLESS amount of times and she very graciously responded to every. single. email - and was incredibly helpful. Fast forward to our wedding weekend and all I have to say is Charlene needs a cape, STAT. She and her team were on every detail and helped me (Type A / control freak) release some control and roll with the weekend as it arrived hot and fast. I was definitely stressing out at some point and she made a point to ask me if I was okay and if I needed help. They also started a fire just before our exit and brought beer over as we wrapped up the night with our closest pals. SO thoughtful! She was the BEST wedding venue owner AND wedding coordinator ever. Special shout out to her staff - in particular the bartenders - that got to experience the partiers in our families. Thanks for your patience and for keeping the juices flowing! Our friends, local to WNC, as well as NYC, loved staying in the restored campers! The bathroom camper are still being talked about, haha! And the morning-after breakfast was delicious and very much appreciated by all. I could spend all day writing about how wonderful our experience was. If you are on the fence about Junebug - JUST DO IT. You won’t regret it.

this was going to be the most memorable day. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, her true wedding-planner side came out. She thought of every little detail! On the day of the wedding, it was more than we could’ve ever imagined. It was the most beautiful set up tucked away in the woods. Everyone was so incredibly nice & generous. So many people have asked me about our venue since posting our photos on social media, it really is a one-of-a-kind place. This is the wedding that nature-lovers dreams are made of.

— unbelievably beautiful. As an out-of-town couple, we chose this venue based off of the pictures and videos. Seeing it in person right before the wedding only made it more magical. Pictures and videos truly do not capture how unique and special this hidden gem is. Next, I can’t speak highly enough of Charlene and Tom. From our first meeting with Charlene, I knew she was extremely organized, thoughtful, and the person I wanted in charge of my wedding. Charlene and Tom treated my husband and I as good friends, we never felt as though we were just "another client.” Before we booked the wedding, my dad ended up being hospitalized due to Covid-19 for several weeks. They held our date during this time and were so patient and flexible with us as we navigated this challenge. Charlene and Tom have this perfect balance of laid-back and organized, which really put me at ease throughout the weekend. All of my questions were answered and all of the details were taken care of. For someone who gets overwhelmed with wedding planning, having Charlene handle flowers, catering, cake, music, tables/chairs, decorations, schedules, etc. was a dream!! I was still provided with choices and got to have significant input in these areas as well. Truly, I had minimal stress because of Charlene and Tom and my wedding felt personal and special — not at all generic or “one-size-fits-all”, despite being all-inclusive. This is difficult to achieve, and JuneBug nailed it!!! Additionally, Charlene is so familiar with the area and provided me excellent recommendations, including our photographer Tessa Woolworth from Folk & Wayfarer, who is amazing and far exceeded our expectations. The location of the treehouse and JuneBug is perfect. I loved being tucked away up in the mountains and enjoying the beautiful summer evening. For our rehearsal dinner, we were able to experience downtown Asheville and visit all of the amazing breweries. We loved it so much, we may end up moving to NC one day! The cake was exactly as I requested and so beautiful and delicious! The BBQ was delicious, all ready to go for guests. The flowers were gorgeous, all of the small details really enhanced our special day. Tom even pulled out his drone and got some shots during the wedding! I could go on and on about how blown away I was. I will never forget my wedding weekend and how truly special it was. The treehouse at JuneBug exceeded my expectations in every way, and I cannot fully express how amazing the entire experience was! You will not regret getting married at JuneBug! My husband and I are already talking about wanting to come back and visit : )

ast minute dash, she managed to deliver the quickest pair of scissors a bride has ever asked for as she got ready in the final 20min before the ceremony, saving the day. If Charlene can pull off such an enchanting wedding at the end of a pandemic and beginning of a new busy wedding season, we can only imagine what she’s capable of in any normal year! The greatest benefit of having a wedding at JuneBug Retro Resort, is that you can always go back to visit and just stay in a camper for a vacation! For adventurous and wild souls alike, JuneBug Retro Resort is the perfect combination of quirky delight and tasteful uniqueness. This venue is in a world of its own, nestled in the scenic mountains of Asheville NC. If you are looking for memories to last a lifetime, the best hammocks over a creek, the comfiest beds to ever exist in a camper and a wedding that makes you feel like a forest princess with flowers in your hair, look no further! ​Last but certainly not least, Charlene is an extremely experienced coordinator who functions with the utmost urgency while maintaining a cool, calm and collected personality. We look forward to revisiting this wonderful haven in the mountains and are eternally blessed to have the honor of getting married here. 12/10 get married at JuneBug Retro Resort!

harlene was a huge help and all of her vendor recommendations were spot on! You can tell that Tom and Charlene have put their hearts and souls into this amazing property and will bend over backwards to make sure their couples have a seamless wedding day. We had our first look in the treehouse and it made for such a special experience. All of our guest are still raving about this wonderful day!

his would go on forever. From the campers to the creek, the bridge to the treehouse, it’s gorgeous. It’s difficult to hold a candle to the site itself, but Charlene does. She’s the owner and day of coordinator for Junebug. She was my rock for the whole process. I was able to enjoy my wedding because I had absolute faith in her to hold everything down. She is such a treasure and I am so grateful. We plan on making multiple visits in the future. 🥰

wers are perfect and then there is the treehouse. The wedding that belongs in fairytales. I knew I wanted a micro-wedding and Junebug seemed perfect. I called Charlene and she told me how at this time they only had done a mock wedding and we would be the first real wedding. With that even though they've done plenty of larger weddings down at the bottom of the farm I expected some sort of hiccups. It's only fair being we would be the first wedding. But let me tell you, this was the most amazing experience ever. I've been married before, seen alot of weddings and nothing compares to the experience and talent that Charlene and Tom have in creating the most amazing wedding experience for the bride and groom and our guest. She literally took care of everything. The decorations she provides are so adorable and perfect, the lighting felt like we were eating with fairies. Talking about eating, the food vendors were out of this world. North Carolina has amazing BBQ but this food, as everyone ate I could hear my guest saying how amazing it was. And the cake... Well there won't be any frozen cake for our first anniversary. Being married outdoors you have to expect there can be some weather and they were prepared with canopies. But when we expected downpours before I could call Charlene in a mess of what to do, she had plan B already planned and prepared. Thankfully we didn't have to use plan B but she was on top of it. The staff they have are just as on it as they are and truly I can't say enough of how amazing this experience was, and if you want a unique wedding that your guest or you and your partner will never forget this is the place. I know this is a long review but there is so much more I could say. There was not one thing I would change. I can't wait to see all the weddings that will happen in this adorable treehouse in the future.

weekends ago and booked JuneBug precisely a year prior. Charlene was helpful every step of the way. We opted to hire her as our day-of coordinator but she went far above and beyond her duties. She was a sounding board for all of my ideas, my Google for all my tiny questions, and assured me constantly that everything would, in fact, get planned and happen according to those plans. We spent the weekend at JuneBug a few weeks prior to go over schedule, plans, etc. and it felt more like meeting up with a friend than a standard business interaction. All that to say, she also perfectly balances business and professionalism - she is concise, punctual, and responsive.

process, gave great advice, but was never pushy about what we should or shouldn’t do. She was also so incredibly kind during our reception. Even though she was busy making sure everything ran on time, she came over to me multiple times just to check on me and make sure I didn’t need anything and was having a good time. It was really so considerate and special. It ended up raining on our wedding day, but I was never worried because I knew we were in good hands with Charlene. And I think JuneBug was particularly beautiful in the rain! If you want a classic Asheville venue and to work with genuinely kind people who love what they do, JuneBug Retro Resort is the place!

, and use such a unique, well-run facility to host our wedding. Charlene handles most of the communication and was also our day of coordinator. When it comes to getting what we needed done when we needed it, she was an absolute rock star. We had a very last minute near-catastrophe when it came to our wedding cake, and she stepped in and managed to save the day, and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't ask for more from her. Junebug itself is super cool! The whole vintage vibe with the campers is very unique and relaxed. There's even a playground for kids (and adult kids) with all the old-school metal playground toys! Everything is super clean, neat, and well-organized. I would recommend Junebug to anybody.

hey made sure everything was perfect for our special day. The campers were fun, clean, and ready for us as soon as we got there. I would recommend this place for any special event or fun weekend getaway.

ing your day-of planner, as there was no way the set up, and day would have run as efficiently as it did without her. All of our guests have told us how much they enjoyed the venue and how unique it was, and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. From the amazing restored, vintage campers, to Charlene's beautiful garden, to the reception and cocktail tents-everything was more than we could have ever hoped for for our wedding!

f course went and looked at 3 other venues in Asheville but my heart kept leaving towards JuneBug. I went to see the venue in March so the leaves were gone the venue was not wedding ready but I could I picture everything I wanted without all of the trees and flowers in bloom or the wedding tents up. Charlene the owner, she was my girl, she was so on top of everything. From start to finish! I could call, text or email her and she was on it. Making everything as easy as possible for me. When it got down to crunch time her husband was the BOMB.COM, Tom! Nicest guy ever, so accommodating and easy going. Charlene was my coordinator the day of the wedding and WOW! The compliments I got for the flow of EVERYTHING from the rehearsal to EVERYTHING on the day of the wedding. The campers were awesome! Our wedding party as well as my husband and myself stayed in them the night of the wedding. Tom and Charlene started an after party bonfire and brought all remaining beer and wine (post wedding) to the bonfire pit in a bucket on ice for the entire wedding party to indulge as we spent the last bit of time with our wedding party having more fun until time for bed! Tom and Charlene recently built this amazing tree house on the property! Tom took my mother in law and I 2 days before the wedding to see the tree house! I almost died and went to heaven! I asked if Ryan and I could do our first look up there.. Even with a bit of a construction zone they cleaned it up and Ryan and I were the first couple ever to be up there! It was so special to me. Our first look over the mountains and secluded up in the woods in a tree house! I could go on and on and on and on. The airstream bar with beer taps, the creek! The bridge I walked across and my daddy met me at the end to walk me down tow aisle. This venue gets 5 starts all across the board. I wish I could do it all over again! My husband and I want to rent out the venue for one of our anniversaries in the future and get our families together for another weekend there! JuneBug Retro Resort will have a special place in my heart for life. If you don’t get married there you’re missing out. #Bestweddinghandsbrown <3 A&R

mazingly genuine, welcoming, and responsive throughout the entire process. They helped us find reliable vendors and helped ease any stresses we had before, during, and after the event. Being able to stay in the campers the night of the wedding was so perfect and allowed us to spend more time with our friends who came a long way to see us. I can't say enough good things about this place and we hope to come back and visit for years to come.

he owners. We engaged Charlene as the event coordinator and every detail was considered and executed perfectly throughout the day. The campers are authentically restored (even the radios work!) and were a treat for ourselves and our guests. We live overseas and were able to contact and communicate with Charlene and Tom at any time, allowing us to plan our wedding with minimal stress and full confidence. Their knowledge and recommendations for local vendors, that they have worked with previously, helped provide a seamless event run by professionals who truly care about their clients. Ending the wedding day around the campfire with our friends and family was magical. We highly recommend inviting a friend with a guitar! JuneBug is a full service and genuinely unique venue that our friends and family will be talking about for years to come! We can't wait to come back for an anniversary trip in the future.

ing creek (very auspicious in Feng Shui!). We had close to 200 people comfortably seated under the gorgeous double high peak tent during dinner (this tent would look beautiful even in a parking lot) and everybody boogied hard on the brand new dance floor. Our guests that weren't big on dancing were often spotted walking the grounds and discovering all the other charms of this property including the meticulously kept campers and retro playground. Tom and Charlene were amazing and a huge help with everything leading up to our wedding day and without them the big day would have been much more stressful. They truly did make our wedding day dreams come true!

lready site was awesome. The bar cart is is also amazing, with and ice machine, taps and coolers. The grounds and accommodations were in superb condition. The wood benches in the ceremony area, cocktail deck, and fire rings are beautiful. Everyone enjoyed the style and comfort of the retro campers. We never felt restricted or cramped. The renovated bathhouse camper is perfect when you have a crowd getting ready. The service was impeccable and I am so thankful we chose June Bug! Charlene and Tom are wonderful people. Lastly, June Bug is close enough to Asheville so that guests can stay in the city or see the sites. But much of our family found well priced rental houses in Weaverville and loved the small town. We had a country side wedding while being close to town with resources and accommodations.

ion was great, and the entire wedding from planning stage to saying "I do!" went off without a hitch. They both are great at running the show, behind the curtain so you are able to fully relax with your family and enjoy the evening. We utilized the campers as well as their newly renovated "bar cart", and everyone spoke so highly of the entire aesthetic vibe. We couldn't have been happier, and as Asheville natives we are proud to say that we would love to come back and share more special moments at Junebug with them. Thank you for an amazing wedding experience!

g they have ever been to and I think the majority of that success is because of the venue. The airstreams are so cute, the land is beautiful and there were so many details like the firepits, stream, and playground that made this venue so much fun. My husband and I want to relive this experience over and over again. I HIGHLY recommend this magical place.

or the weekend. It was like grown-up summer camp. Adults and kids all had a blast. The property is beautiful and can handle a large wedding and reception, but would also be great for a smaller event. Luckily the rain let up after our guests began arriving, but they have permanent event tents on-site, so we would have been fine either way. No need to rent tables and chairs, they've got 'em and they're nicer than an event rental's stuff. I can't really say enough about the owners/managers Charlene and Tom. They were easy to work with and will be as hands-on or hands-off as you need. Charlene was great at coordinating with our caterer and various other event rental folks. You can tell that they've put their heart and soul into June Bug, and they've created something really special.

ony and there's plenty of parking. There are designated places for the wedding party to get ready and to stay after the wedding.

ing venue, spitting out the same wedding weekend after weekend, and that Charlene was so incredibly personable and helpful. The property is pristine and the trailers are each unique and beautiful. We held our rehearsal dinner and wedding under the tent and stayed with our wedding party in the trailers (they loved the unique lodging!). Everything was on-site which made for the perfect laid-back weekend with family and friends. We really enjoyed playing badminton and corn hole and sitting by the campfire in the evenings. I wish I could give 10 stars for JuneBug (instead of just 5). I can't stress enough how helpful Charlene was throughout the planning process as my husband and I live in Colorado and were planning from afar, and my parents (who are in Asheville) were planning everything in person. She kept us all sane, and also won the award for fastest 100 yard dash when she raced back to get the bouquet I realized I had forgotten in the bridal trailer right as I was about to walk down the aisle. We're already dreaming of an anniversary trip back so we can stay at June Bug again!

venue we visited and we wasted time checking out at least 8 more in person. The setting was perfect for a gathering of friends and family - everyone felt welcome for the entire weekend. Awesome value for all this venue has to offer and Charlene is such a pleasure to work with. She is able to give great advice throughout the entire planning and execution of the wedding. Charlene always brought calm to any situation during the planning stage and I never had to worry during the event. She always has your back!

ersonable, easy to work with, and really contributed to the success of our day. They offer gorgeous options of ceremony and reception site, with a solid contingency plan (something that was very important to us). A major plus - our wedding party got to stay on site in their vintage campers, which was not only fun but incredibly convenient. You will not regret booking with these wonderful people!

tunity to be transported back in time and stay in fully restored vintage campers. The best, and most important part in my opinion, is the topnotch service and flexibility from the owners and staff so that all your wedding day dreams come true!

a river running through and an organic farm onsite. Then there's the owners... do you know those people who just kind of glow?? Charlene is that person, I think she found the thing that gives her great joy and it shows in how hard she works for it. I'm happy to have gotten to know her. And Tom, Tom is that level-headed guy that when a bride is having a minor freak-out he is there to rationally fix something and soothe the energy. I don't know if I could thank them enough. As for the wedding, every bride must know that there are ups and downs, but I can tell you the one thing that never had me questioning was the venue, and the spouse, of course! There is a lovely bridge over the river, Tom & Charlene placed tiki torches down the length of which and illuminated the water at night during our reception, there were fires tended for our guests riverside and in the romantic alcove above the new cocktail deck. The place starts to feel like home so quickly. Best wishes to Charlene and Tom and to any future couple marrying there, you won't regret it!

nd everything, including the Friday night rehearsal dinner, was on site. The bridal party stayed in the trailers. The venue is gorgeous (we had fun telling all of our friends we were getting married in a trailer park, but in actuality the venue is much nicer). It's hard to write a review because there's so many positive things I want to say about Charlene and how nice it was working with her - we originally set a May 2019 date but had to move the date up to October 2018 due to an illness in the family, and Charlene was just amazingly accommodating and helped us find great vendors/caterers/etc. and was on site the whole weekend helping facilitate a magical event...she even sprinted across the property when the bride realized she left her bouquet of flowers right before walking down the aisle! 12/10 stars.

e these trailers is outstanding. The modern touches in the bath house are exceptional. This is an amazing place for a wedding and reception. My Husband and I chose those place for the serenity and to be able to have a 50s themed wedding. Many options for holding an outdoor ceremony, extremely well kept grounds, a large tent for the pre-and post receptions and a beautiful bar area surrounded wtih nature. The website can not convey the true beauty and awesomeness of this place. We HIGHLY recommend JuneBug Retro Resort for your consideration. The cost of the venue includes so much more than you woudl expect - use of the facilities, the trailers, the event area, bar area and green space. The owners Tom and Charlene have brought toghether a quaint, comfortable and fun little piece of heaven in North Carolina.

this is your place!

nicured landscaping around the campers that it would be beautiful in the summertime; we secured a date to have our wedding there. Charlene was helpful and responsive throughout our planning process, anticipating needs and offering reasonable solutions which saved us time and money. Key benefits of having our wedding at JuneBug were two included tents, the ability to purchase and bring in our own alcohol, and being able to rent all ten campers to have our wedding party stay overnight with us. Our wedding vision came to life at JuneBug, and we could not have been happier!

ng unforgettable events and providing genuine, kind customer service is evident in every interaction we ever had with the two of them. Tom and Charlene were so professional and so accommodating throughout the entire booking and planning process. Charlene, the individual we mostly ended up communicating with, never made us feel like we were an inconvenience and she always shared in so much of our excitement with us. Our guests were blown away by the property and the precious vintage campers. Everyone kept remarking on how unique and original the venue was...it made my husband and I elated, because we never wanted a copy-cat, cookie-cutter wedding. My husband and I and our entire bridal party ended up staying in the campers after our wedding. Everyone was pleasantly surprised with how spacious and comfortable the campers were. My husband has a lot of tall friends and none of them had any problem staying comfortable in their camper at night. All of our bridal party was blown away by the beautiful bath house that Tom and Charlene had custom made for June Bug. My husband and I are already brainstorming an anniversary party back at June Bug, because we want an excuse to host another event!!!!
