Dewberry Farms
Kernersville, NC
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
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.
Sanctuary Farm
Chapel Hill, NC
The farm hosts both weekend-long weddings and one-day celebrations, with options that allow couples to create a gathering that feels relaxed, meaningful and connected to the land. They can accommodate up to 40 overnight guests in a variety of unique accommodations. With space to truly settle in, gather around meals, enjoy the sauna, explore the land and gardens, interact with the farm animals, dance under the stars, and be together in a way that feels meaningful and relaxed, the space invites both celebration and rest. Sanctuary Farm is also perfect for DIY celebrations, as couples have the flexibility to choose their own vendors and create a wedding that feels uniquely their own.
If sustainable practices are important to you or you are seeking an eco-friendly alternative to a traditional wedding venue, Sanctuary Farm may be a good fit. The farm composts food waste and compostable disposables on site, encourages reusable dishware and provides tableware for smaller events, uses solar powered electricity and well water, supports local farms and local food, and tends the gardens and land with organic practices and long term ecological care. The natural beauty of the farm also allows many couples to lean less heavily on decor and more fully into the landscape around them.
Sanctuary Farm has a variety of ceremony location options.

Sanctuary Vineyards is the answer to your debate between a rustic farm and an elegant coastal wedding vibe. Imagine your ceremony, surrounded by picturesque grapevines, with the ocean just steps away and a salty sea breeze holding your veil adrift. Located in the beautiful Outer Banks, this is truly a wedding destination like no other.
“It is one of the most unique venues on the Outer Banks, where a generations-old family farm meets a contemporary winery – where love takes root, and new stories begin,” vineyard manager John Wright said.
