Outdoor Wedding Venues
In the midst of Covid-19, many North Carolina wedding couples are searching for wedding venues with plenty of options for social distancing, and most importantly, outdoor wedding options! Many of you may be looking for a plan B with lots of outdoor space and room to move around!! We know it’s great to have different options within your wedding venue and that’s why we compiled a list of our favorite outdoor wedding venues. An outdoor wedding venue can be the best of both worlds; you can have all your guests still come, yet do so safely!
Moore’s Springs Manor
Wow!!! “Wow” seemed to be the word that kept coming up as we first saw Moore’s Springs Manor. It’s gorgeous!! The house is where the bride and groom are able to get ready! The guys upstairs in an amazing man pad…and the girls downstairs in the master suite! The grounds to this place are amazing!!! It has a pavilion for the reception…a pool are which would be perfect for the cocktail hour…the most gorgeous greenhouse you have ever seen and then it’s landscaped to perfection. It’s a must see!
Secret Meadows at Green Dell Farm
Secret Meadows at Green Dell Farm sits on a large private property, completely secluded, overlooking a pond! It’s a beautiful oasis tucked conveniently off Hwy 109. They have two covered porches and barn doors that open on all four sides of the barn! It’s a perfect option for an outdoor/indoor venue! The owners are YLP friends and we trust they will treat you like family!
Old Homeplace Vineyard
Old Homeplace Vineyard is right in our backyard! It overlooks rolling hills, the vineyard and Lake Tomalex. There HUGE barn has heating and air condition… can we hear an AMEN!? …and barn doors on the sides that open to additional outdoor space. Not to mention, the grounds have a variety of options for an outdoor ceremony!
Adaumont Farm
Aduamont Farm will always be one of our favorite outdoor wedding venues! It’s a luxurious countryside venue in Trinity, NC. It has great outdoor wedding options on their 400 acre farm!! Not to mention, their barn is huge and so elegant! There is plenty of room inside for your social distancing needs!
L’abri at Linwood
We work wedding at L’abri at Linwood 3-4 times per year and each time the wedding ceremony location is a little different! They have plenty of space to make your outdoor ceremony unique and personalized just for you and your needs! We love this outdoor option because they have an open air barn; so while you’re in the shade and under the fans enjoying your dinner and dancing, you are still officially “outside”. We love the family that owns and runs the venue and know you’ll be in great hands with this outdoor wedding venue!
Legacy Stables and Events
Legacy Stables is conveniently located in the heart of the Triad, right on HWY 109. The 30-acre estate has several outdoor wedding ceremony and reception locations! The 12,000 sq ft Grace Barn has heating and air conditioning, and is complete with a ballroom large enough to seat 700 guests, but also intimate enough for events of 50 or less. Another favorite of mine is The Legacy House, a charming farmhouse surrounded by the most beautifully landscaped gardens. It’s the perfect outdoor setting for an intimate wedding. www.legacystablesandevents.com
Cadillac Service Garage - Greensboro
If you have ever seen pictures of the Cadillac Service Garage, you know the inside is to die for! It’s soooooo gorgeous! With that said, they do also have two beautiful outdoor courtyard, which could definitely work for a small outdoor ceremony! This is a venue option that could definitely grow and adapt with you as restrictions change.
Paul J Ciener Botanical Garden - Kernersville
Boxwood Estate
Villa De L’ Amour
High Point Country Club
The High Point Country Club has an outdoor balcony option for a small outdoor wedding reception! I recently photographed a Plan-B wedding there, with only 12 guests and it was gorgeous! Guests commented that looking out over the golf course, as the sun was setting, looked like a painting!! (Don’t quote me on this, but I would think there is room for up to 50 guests, all outside.) If you are looking for an indoor option with lots of space…this is a fantastic option for you! The Country Club has plenty of room for you to social distance and give your guests plenty of space! It’s also gorgeous and the staff is second to none!
JH Adams Inn
The Gardens at Gray Gables - Summerfield, NC
The Gardens at Gray Gables is an all outdoor wedding venue! They have beautifully landscaped grounds, with separate and unique locations for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! From the road, you can only see the gorgeous house! …once you are on the property, the gardens go on and on! It’s truly a relaxing, peaceful, gorgeous outdoor wedding venue!

Think Creatively
Now that NC has even more specific restrictions and less loopholes, it’s time to start really thinking outside the box! Do you have family that has land, a lake house, a beach house? If not, consider renting one for the weekend. Look into a VRBO with a great mountain view. You may also want to think about venues that aren’t venues at all…like The High Rock Marina where we did this styled lake wedding. Bring your parents and your closest friends and do it all. Have the cake, bring all the flowers, get dressed just like you have always dreamed, and still get amazing photographs! Maybe you have the wedding at the lake and all the guests attend safely from their boat!!
