BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!

Overlook Barn in Banner Elk was the wedding venue of our dreams! Set on Beech Mountain, the views — especially from Mary’s Meadow, where we had our ceremony — were absolutely breathtaking. The beautifully refurbished horse barn added the perfect rustic charm, and we were able to truly make the reception space our own with florals and personal touches. It’s a venue that can bring any vision to life. The day-of coordinators were phenomenal — incredibly professional, organized, and supportive. Even our wedding planner couldn’t stop praising how seamless and helpful they were throughout the entire day. One of the highlights was their recommended vendor list — every vendor we chose was top-tier. Our caterer was phenomenal, and our florist brought the space to life in the most stunning way. Guests are still telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever attended! There were no hidden fees, no surprises — just a clean, professional, and personalized experience from start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend Overlook Barn to any couple looking for a dream wedding venue.

Overlook Barn was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding! It’s breathtakingly beautiful—every view, every detail—it’s just magical. We were lucky with the weather on our big day, but it gave us so much peace of mind knowing there was a solid Plan B in case things didn’t go as planned. The team was incredibly communicative and helpful from start to finish. They made the planning process smooth and stress-free, and their professionalism helped everything run seamlessly on the day of. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day or wedding experience. If you're looking for a stunning venue in the mountains with a team that truly cares, Overlook Barn is it!

From the moment we first reached out to Overlook Barn, their communication was responsive, attentive, and truly amazing. The quality of their work and the value they provided was simply stunning - their luxury barn venue was an absolute showstopper. We knew exactly what to expect from the beginning, and the space was perfectly suited to our needs, with gorgeous views, a warm and cozy ambiance thanks to the fireplace and string lights, and even personalized touches like handwritten letters and mugs delivered to us on our wedding morning. Overlook Barn exceeded our expectations in every way and helped make our special day truly unforgettable. Even 10 months later, our guests are still talking about it. I cannot say enough good things or recommend Overlook enough!
