Dewberry Farms

Kernersville, NC

Dewberry Farms, owned by the same family since 1925, was once a sugar cane and tobacco farm. Now they grow row upon row of colorful flowers, including sunflowers, tulips, zinnias, lavender and more. They host both public and private events with the stunning backdrop of their flower fields. Just imagine saying your vows amongst thousands of beautiful blooms. They also have a number of animals on the property, including two babydoll sheep, two ponies, a highland cow, a mini-donkey, three quarter-horses and several goats.

The farm has been hosting weddings for 16 years, starting with the wedding of owners Wendi and Art Johnson. “I think we are unique because our love for this farm, and sharing it, comes through with all our events,” said Wendi, “We live on the farm and are a part of everything that happens here. We are here to make sure everything runs smoothly.” Dewberry Farms offers elopement and microwedding packages for up to 50 guests.

Paradise Family Farm

Boomer, NC

Paradise Family Farm is a 75-acre farm set amongst the breathtaking foothills of North Carolina. They raise iconic Scottish Highland Cattle and sell fresh beef on site. Agritourism-wise, they also offer farm tours, regular yoga classes and a unique farm stay experience through Airbnb. The farm also offers weddings for up to 150 guests with a number of customizable options and weekend-long access to the venue.

Their on-site venue is a restored 1930’s barn known as the “Old Carlton.” Owner Diane Kisch said that the barn was “Meticulously renovated while preserving its original wood and nearly 100 years of character.” She continued, “Whether you’re planning a candlelit dinner or a high-energy dance party, the barn provides a warm, beautiful backdrop that requires very little decor to look spectacular.”

If that’s not enough to sell you on Paradise Family Farm as a wedding destination, just think of the striking wedding photos you’ll have from the venue. From shots with fluffy Scottish Highland Cattle, to poses in front of a hidden waterfall, and snaps in front of sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, your photos will be unlike anyone else’s. The Kinsch family invites you to be a part of Paradise Family Farm’s history.
