I'm looking for a barn/farm location for sometime in late july or early august. Leaning towards august! We're having a vintage carnival themed wedding. I dont want a "venue" per say just a great piece of land or barn setting?

I live in the raleigh area but I'd be open for anything in the surrounding area!
I also have family in lake gaston so anythign around that area would work too..
I'm from Virginia, my fiance is from Raleigh, NC so we'd love something in between or something here in Raleigh where we live.
Any suggestions about how to go about this would be amaaazing!!

I just dont know where to begin!?!  :)

Please help!
Meagan

    Several brides have used the Barn at Valhalla.  There are probably reviews in the NC Bride Bio.

    Hey -- I'm getting married at the Pavilion at Angus Barn. Send me a message if you have any questions about it. It's obviously not a real barn, but has the barn "feel."

    I went to an event at the Pavilion last night. It's really beautiful at night with the way they have it lit.  It is a bit pricey, though.  We looked at it for a reception site and decided on another site because it was just too high.  If it wasn't, it would have been our choice.

    Not really a barn but attended a wedding at Spruce Pine Lodge. It was in Bahama, NC. It was a really nice location.

    There is the Dairy Barn in Fort Mill,SC. I know its kind of far but didn't know how far you were willing to go.

    we decided on the Barn at Valhalla..its gorgeous in person and the owner, Duffy has no preferred vendors or any of that. He pretty much lets you do you're thing which is exactly what we had in mind!! :)

    Check out this website for unique rustic decor:  www.spottedleopard.etsy.com

    They offer cool moss covered initials that look great on barn doors!
