Yes. We  require you use a company that is licensed and insured and in addition provides a bartender. This bartender will ensure that all North Carolina laws are being enforced and followed.  Permits are required.

Our packages are designed for 150 guests or less.  

We require a non-refundable deposit of the package you select to reserve your date. 

A Saturday wedding deposit is $900, Sunday wedding deposits are $750 and weekday wedding deposits are $450.  

The security deposit is a separate $400 deposit. After your event is complete we will do a walk through and if there are no damages we will refund the security deposit within 10 business days by check.  If there are any discrepancies we will reach out immediately. 

Once you pay the deposit to reserve your date, 9 months from your event 50% of the remaining balance is due and 60 days before your event the final payment is due.

We only require that your payments are made 9 months and 60 days before your event date.  However, if you would like to make additional payments throughout you are more than welcome to do so.  Some brides find that easier when budgeting and as we have mentioned before we are in the business of trying to make it all a little easier. 

We accept cash, check, money order or cashiers check.

We do allow for families portraits and bridal portraits to made at the venue.  Click the link to find out more.

Yes, in fact a lot of couples prefer to have dinner on-site because everyone is already in the same spot.  Because this does require additional setup and staffing there is a charge of $450 to host your dinner at the venue. This includes: 4 round tables with linens, 32 chairs, 1 buffet table with linen, 1 beverage table with linen and trash removal.

 Yes, we do provide white linens, however if you prefer a color and we cannot accommodate the request we can recommend a rental company to contact.

Yes, there are rental companies nearby that rent everything you could need.

We only rent the space to one couple per day.  Which means you get our staffs full attention for the day.  

All pets do require approval and if approved come with some stipulations.  Example - you may want your dog to be a part of the celebration.  If approved the dog could be part of the ceremony and photos but must remain on a leash and must have a designated caretaker that is not the bride or groom. Pets are not allowed inside our buildings.  We only allow service dogs to be inside the buildings.   

Yes, we have a prep kitchen available for your caterer to use as a setup area. It includes a refrigerator, a large commercial 3 compartment sink and countertop space.

We do allow you to use any vendor you want including any caterer.  We do require that your caterer provide us with a copy of their catering license as well as a Certificate of Liability Insurance listing the Venue as an additional insured.  If the caterer is not licensed/insured, then the client will be considered self-catering and will need to purchase event liability insurance.  

We have parking attendants greeting your guests as soon as they arrive on the property.  There is a large grassy area near the entrance with a plank fence and we start parking there.  All guests are parked so that they can leave with ease whenever they are ready. There is one way in and one way out making it very easy.    

Primarily our seating is made up of round tables that seat 8 guests. We do have some 6' and 8' rectangular tables that are used for buffet tables, gift tables, bridal party seating, etc. 

We like to joke that it only rains when we aren't having events around here, but realistically that is just not the case.  In the event it rains or has rained a tremendous amount we just move the festivities inside the barn.  The barn does lend itself to be a great backdrop and most importantly it doesn't cost you anything extra.  This will become a shared space that will host the ceremony and the reception.  We do have the back porch to the suites and the barn available for your guests to have a cocktail hour while you finish up photos and our staff will move and adjust furniture for the reception. If you have 120 guests or less we can set the ceremony site up on the back porch of the barn.  This allows you to still have the view as your background.

Actually it does change the price.  We offer up to a $500 discount if you do not have a ceremony at the venue and  you are only using the grounds for your reception. Some dates do not qualify for the discount.  Inquire for details.
