Farm Weddings in Stokes County, Without the Big‑Venue Price Tag
Pond-side vows, a rustic barn reception and a sky full of stars, for a fraction of what most Triad venues charge.
You bring the people you love. We’ll bring the setting.
Riverside Farm sits along the Little Yadkin River in Stokes County, about 20 minutes from downtown Winston-Salem.
Get ready in the Bridal Cabin and a groom’s space, walk down to the lower ceremony spot, then enjoy dinner outdoors on the field (under a tent if you like) and head into the barn for cake cutting, the DJ and dancing. We’ll bring the setting and a whole lot of Southern hospitality.
Six places to say “I do”
The Lower Ceremony Spot
A peaceful spot below the barn for vows: an entry doorway with doors for the bride to walk through, wooden benches on both sides of the aisle, and a large wooden arch.
By the Pond
Our favorite spot for photos, especially at sunset.
The Field
Room for a big tent, too. Our two tents cover up to 100 guests; for more than 100, couples rent a larger tent from an outside company.
Inside the Barn
Cake cutting, the DJ and dancing, all under the barn lights. Inside, the barn is best for small weddings: it holds 50 with tables and chairs, or up to 80 with seating only.
The Grain Bin
A sweet spot for photos, with beautiful views of Pilot Mountain.
By the River
The farm sits on the Little Yadkin River, a quiet spot for photos by the water.

The Saturday Wedding
Outdoor ceremony on our fixed benches, our own tables and chairs for 50–100 guests, the Bridal Cabin and a groom’s space, and the barn for cake cutting, the DJ and dancing.

Tent Add-On
One tent seats 45–50. Both tents seat 80–85 with food tables, or about 100 without. Our two tents cover weddings up to 100 guests; for more than 100, couples rent a larger tent from an outside company.
Friday Micro Wedding
8 hours on a Friday with the ceremony area, the Bridal Cabin & groom’s space, the barn, and table seating for 50.
Elopements & Vow Renewals

The Riverside Proposal. Say yes at Riverside.
Pop the question on the farm. Pick one of two setups and we’ll have it ready and waiting for the two of you.
- Porch Dinner: one decorated table on the tap room porch, candlelight, and a really nice dinner for two picked up from a local King restaurant. $375
Includes dinner for two from a local King restaurant, up to $90 in food and drinks before tax and tip. Choose from our featured menu, or go over the allowance and we’ll just add the difference to your total. - Riverside Picnic: a blanket, pillows, a picnic basket and lanterns, out in the field or down by the river. $295
Includes a picnic spread for two, up to $60 in food and drinks before tax and tip. Want something extra? We’ll add any amount over the allowance to your total.
We’ll quietly snap a few photos of the big moment for you. (Included.) Add-on: Flowers & Sign, $75. If it rains, we’ll move your setup inside the barn. Setups are for 2 hours and can be booked up to 30 days in advance.

Wedding FAQs
How much does a wedding cost?
Our Saturday wedding package is $3,000. It includes the outdoor ceremony on our fixed benches, our own tables and chairs for 50–100 guests, the Bridal Cabin and a groom’s space, and the barn for cake cutting, the DJ and dancing. A Friday + Saturday wedding (Friday evening 4–10 PM) is $3,500 and includes our free thank-you frame. For smaller days, there’s the Friday Micro Wedding ($1,250) and weekday elopements and vow renewals ($300). Tents are extra: $450 for one or $700 for both. Ceremonies and dinners are usually outdoors, with a tent option. Planning for more than 100? Our two tents cover up to 100 guests, so larger weddings rent a bigger tent (and extra tables and chairs) from an outside company. See our Pricing page for what’s included.
How do deposits and payments work?
Half is due to reserve your date, and the other half is due 30 days before your wedding. Wedding deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel at least 60 days before your date and choose a new date, we’ll apply half of your deposit to the new date.
What’s the rain plan?
Our rain plan is a tent. Tents are an add-on ($450 for one or $700 for both; see our Pricing page), and we recommend reserving one early, especially for spring and fall dates, so you’re covered if the forecast turns. The barn is still yours for cake cutting, the DJ and dancing, but it isn’t big enough to move a full wedding indoors (it seats 50 with tables).
Where does the wedding party get ready?
In the Bridal Cabin and a small groom’s space, included with the Saturday wedding package.
Is your date open?
Most couples hear back from us the same day.
