The landscape, team and facilities at North Corner Haven are absolute perfection! We had the privilege of having our rehearsal dinner and wedding at North Corner Haven and I could have not imagined a better place to gather and celebrate with all of our family and friends. Not only is this one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the Carolinas, but the landscaping is kept in perfect condition year-round, and every part of their facilities are kept in a clean condition at all times. They make everything perfect down to the placement of every single chair at the ceremony. We also had the privilege of working with Becky from the very start of our wedding planning process – NCH is so lucky to have such a kind-hearted, talented and professional events director on their team, to make sure each event ran as seamlessly as possible. The worst part of the wedding weekend was leaving North Corner Haven – my husband and I could have stayed there forever! Also, to all my fellow NCH brides, don’t forget to order the sandwich + salad lunch the day of your wedding – one of the most delicious lunches I’ve had in a very long time!

From the beautiful venue to the delicious food and impeccable service, everything was perfect. Becky and the North Corner Haven team went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was taken care of for my clients wedding. I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and attention to detail. North Corner Haven is pure luxury, and one of a kind! It was truly a pleasure working with Becky, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future.

NCH hosted our daughter’s wedding on 10/29/22 and the entire venue looked stunning between the beautiful surroundings of the farm and the clean and well-presented facilities, from the barn to the farm house. Becky and Kasie took fantastic care of us and the entire day went off without a hitch. As beautiful as NCH is during the day, it becomes magical in the evening under the lights. We could not be happier about the entire experience. Highly recommend for weddings! Thank you NCH Team

My husband and I wanted a smaller, intimate setting for our wedding ceremony and reception. North Corner Haven offered a simple, yet elegant farm venue that appealed to both my wants and my husband’s. My husband wanted an outdoor venue, while I hoped for a more luxurious, indoor setting. NCH was the perfect match for us both, and we both felt fulfilled with our elegant, but naturally beautiful indoor/outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

Becky helped us plan our perfect day in less than 6 weeks. She connected us with vendors who created a day centered around our desires and reflective of who we are as a couple/family. Together, we have two teenage boys who loved the day in the cottage and farmhouse as much as we did. Becky flawlessly facilitated our wedding day, so we could enjoy time with our friends, family, and each other. All of our guest raved about it being the most beautiful wedding they’d ever attended, which reflects the venue, planning, and coordination of everyone at NCH. If we could relive our day at North Corner Haven every year, there is nothing we would change.

Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful undertakings for soon-to-be newlyweds. From curating a guest list to finding good vendors, each decision can seem overwhelming. Booking the right Charlotte wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make while planning your wedding.

Not only will the venue serve as the home of your most cherished memory, a good wedding venue will help you ensure that everything else runs smoothly on your special day. 

Professional Staff

The wedding coordinator and event staff will become your best friends on your wedding day. They may not make it into the ceremony, but they’ll be on the sidelines making sure that everything is running smoothly so you can spend time with your loved ones. 

Before the wedding, the team at North Corner Haven will ensure that everything is ready-to-go, from the chairs and tables to the refreshments. We take great care to ensure that you, your guests, and your vendors have a seamless experience during your visit. 

Exceptional Cuisine

The meals and refreshments at a wedding are a huge expense, and all too often the quality doesn’t warrant the price tag. Catering is a difficult business, and there are a lot of considerations to make. Dietary restrictions, seasonal ingredients, and personal preferences can make it difficult to find a caterer that can exceed your expectations. 

North Corner Haven, on the other hand, isn’t just an event venue. We’re a working farm, and we make it a top priority to ensure the quality of our ingredients. Our masterful chefs and kitchen staff bring our ethos of complexity and abundance from the farm to your plate.

The COVID-19 pandemic dealt a hard blow to engaged couples all over the country who were wrapped up in planning the weddings of their dreams. Nearly all 50 states imposed restrictions on the size of gatherings, and the uncertainty of how long the situation would last put most couples in the difficult position of choosing between sacrificing the biggest day of their lives or postponing for an unknown period of time. Some decided they didn’t have to choose. They opted for a micro wedding in North Carolina instead.  

The New Option: Micro Weddings 

Micro wedding packages in NC and SC emerged as another option for couples to safely celebrate with friends and family while still having a unique and memorable day. These events were so successful that they’ve become their own niche in the event planning industry – they’re not just a passing trend! 

More Intimate and Intentional Guest List

Wedding planning usually involves countless hours of agonizing over the guest list. By the time you add in plus-ones, distant relatives, and your parent’s oldest friends, you’ve lost all control over who shares in your special day.

 With a micro wedding, you know from the start that the guest list will be more intimate. You can plan your guest list with intention, opting to invite only the most important people in your life. It is easier to resist pressure from others trying to influence the guest list because space is limited. 

Greater Affordability

Catering is one of the most expensive parts of any wedding. Since the guest lists with a micro wedding are so much smaller, you’ll be saving thousands of dollars on food and beverages. Depending on the venue you choose, you could also be saving tons of money on table and chair rental, custom linens, and even steep room rental fees. Choosing a micro wedding package in North Carolina gives you more control over your budget and lets you decide where you’d like to splurge or save.

Endless Personalization and Creative Possibilities

While a micro wedding can save you money, it doesn’t have to seem like a cheap event. The money you save on catering and other costs associated with venue rentals for hundreds of people can be redirected to other things like décor, favors, and other curated elements to make your wedding a party that your guests will never forget. When you scale back the guest lists and choose a smaller venue, you can spend more time focusing on details and adding a personal touch to the event.   

Your Cherished Wedding

North Corner Haven has a variety of micro wedding offerings through our Cherished Wedding packages. Whether it’s just the happy couple or up to 50 guests, there are customizable, all-inclusive wedding options to meet your budget and expectations. Our experienced wedding planner on staff will work with you to curate a magical and memorable experience for your guests.

If you’ve decided on a barn wedding, the next step is to find the perfect space to hold your upcoming nuptials. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, so you don’t want to choose just any location. Before you start looking for Charlotte wedding venues, we’ll give you some tips on how to find your dream wedding spot and questions to ask a potential venue.

Tips for Finding Your Barn Wedding Venue in NC

Before you spend hours doing research on venues that won’t work for you, consider these few tips to help streamline your search.

Talk With A Wedding Planner

If you are thinking about a barn wedding or a ceremony with another kind of theme, consider using a wedding planner to make the planning process more efficient. A wedding planner will be familiar with all the Charlotte wedding venues, and they can help make recommendations about how to achieve the wedding of your dreams.

Finalize Your Budget and Ideal General Location

Before you can select a venue for your barn wedding, you need to have a firm budget in place. It will be heartbreaking if you fall in love with a wedding venue you can’t afford. Having the budget in place before your search will allow you to refine your potential wedding venues in NC to just those within your budget.

Rather than considering all wedding venues in NC, you should narrow your search down to a general location. This will help streamline your search into a manageable list of potential venues that you can then tour and seriously consider.

Know Your Guest List

The number of guests you intend to invite to your wedding will drastically affect what venue will work for you. For a barn wedding, you may not be able to accommodate hundreds of guests. It will be easier for you to select a venue when you know the number of people who will be attending.

Venue Red Flags to Avoid

Not all Charlotte wedding venues will offer a positive experience. When you’re touring or interviewing potential venues, there are some red flags to look for. If the venue books multiple weddings on the same day, this could mean a lot of chaos on the day of your event. Additionally, be on the lookout for issues with communication. If it seems difficult to communicate or interact with the staff during the interview phase, chances are that will continue through the planning process.

If the contract for the venue is unclear about the scope of service or fees, or if you are offered no contract at all, be very cautious should you decide to book that location. If they are vague about what they can accommodate or don’t show any flexibility for creative ideas, you might want to consider another venue.
