The Riverside wedding

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.

Pop the question on the farm. Pick one of two setups and we’ll have it ready and waiting for the two of you.

    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.

Make it a weekend

Stay just up the road

Book the Gun Smoke Inn for the couple or the wedding party. It sleeps 5 and it’s just up the road.

Wedding perk: add the Inn for Friday and Saturday nights for $275, or one night for $150. Subject to availability, since the Inn is booked separately and can only be added when it’s open those nights.

We had a lunch event there last weekend for a friend of mine and I was very pleased. It has a rustic and country feel that is inviting.

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.
