Junebug Asheville

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

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!

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!!!!
