Ian and the rest of the team are incredible. They have thought of everything you could possibly need to have the perfect day, and the price is unbeatable for what you get! Would choose them every time! -

The English Country Barn of the Carolina’s is an accurate title for this Venue site.
As the mother of the bride, I found the Venue was exactly what my daughter had envisioned (her words). The Barn is beautiful and the room where my daughter and her bridesmaids got ready was perfect. Plenty of room for the makeup artist to work on the girls. Room was also outfitted with a refrigerator, coffee maker with all supplies. The owner left a bottle of champagne in the dressing room. Perfect touch. Groom’s room looked great too. Downstairs the huge open space with the live edge tables and bar area (which was also a live edge) was amazing. We were able to have a happy hour and the bar space was perfect for guests. The inside Chapel was the right size for our wedding party. We did not have ceremony outside due to weather. The way the three long live-edge dinner tables are placed, created a fantastic dance floor for family and friends. The Venue had two refrigerators..one for flowers and one for food and drinks. We used both. The kitchen was laid out well with everything we needed…including a multilevel heating until..which was perfect for our rehearsal dinner. We stayed at the Cottage which is on the property. It was perfect for the six of us. We rented the Venue for the weekend. We loved it. The Owners could not have been nicer and if we had questions, they would respond immediately. Our family would recommend this Venue for your wedding.The English Country Barn of the Carolinas's reply:
Thank you. It was a true pleasure meeting you all and being a part of your special day. You were the first people to stay at The Cottage being a 3 bedroom, wrap around deck, detached house about 2 minutes walk from the Wedding Barn. The Hot-tub and Firepit will be finished next week. The Cottage was a total remodel completed March 2022. Ian -

Ian and Teresa are the best! They are professional and yet very personable to work with; they really care about who you are and what your experience will be. The location is remote but lovely and allows a very private event without concerns about other events or outside noise/distractions. Ian & Teresa are very responsive and having built The Country English Barn themselves and being well known business owners in the community, they are excellent resources for information about other vendors, etc. in the area. The venue is clean, lovely, spacious, and well maintained. Ian & Teresa were a God send to us and we highly recommend them and their venue! -

Ian and his family put their hearts into building a breathtaking wedding venue. Each detail was thought through and exquisitely completed. Our entire experience has been nothing short of amazing; I can’t wait to start my forever after here.The English Country Barn of the Carolinas's reply:
Thank you. We put so much work (13 months build) to add as many details into the Barn, so that our couples do not need to bring many decorations as the Barn 'shines' as it is. Your wedding was gorgeous and I am grateful we were able to play as small part in your celebration. Ian -

I would like to start off by saying that Ian is one of the most genuine people I’ve encounter thus far. He was very passionate about his venue and the connection he wants to create in the community. Ian was able to meet all of our needs and we never felt like he was taken advantage of us. I called him on a Sunday, and he immediately called me back to set up an appointment! When we arrived, we were greeted by him and he went into all the details with us without disregarding our needs. The venue itself is beautiful and clean! It is also very private which will allow us to have the ceremony and party of our dreams. Before seeing this venue, I was super stressed because no venue could meet our unique needs ( we are an interracial couple with complex needs due to cultures) and I love that Ian is giving us the flexibility to combine both of our cultures at his venue. I would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone, please come take a look at the beautiful venue Ian and his family have built. ❤️ Cannot wait to get marry here!The English Country Barn of the Carolinas's reply:
Thank you. I really appreciated your trust you out into us during the build process. I'm always looking for the next new addition to keep the venue fresh with new items :) Ian -

Absolutely gorgeous! Every detail, the space, the land!The English Country Barn of the Carolinas's reply:
Thank you. It was great to see you use both the upstairs bridal suite and grooms room as well as the main large downstairs area. As you said having everything you need within the Barn, in one location worked out great and takes stress away from the event. Ian -

Perfect for our wedding
We had our wedding at this beautiful venue. It was perfect for our needs. I was able to fulfill my childhood dream of riding my horse down the aisle. Owners are nice and very professional, they made sure my day was exactly how it should beThe English Country Barn of the Carolinas's reply:
Thank you. Watching you arrive riding the horse, with your wedding dress, was an amazing view that we will never forget. -

We are so looking forward to our May 2022 weeding event. Ian, the owner, is so accommodating & the venue is breathtakingly beautiful. He has thought of everything! It is very apparent that much research & love has been poured into the venues creation. We booked back in January while still under construction! Ian was very easy to talk to & welcomed suggestions & valued our input. Can't wait for the open house to see how it all came together. We knew, even then, it would be special.The English Country Barn of the Carolinas's reply:
Thank you for putting your trust in us. So glad you liked all the details we added to both the Barn and the outside. We now have 3 outdoor ceremony areas as well as the indoor. we also just added lighting around the gazebo. Ian -

Lezleigh Sent on 07/08/2021Breath Takingly Beautiful, exceptional communication
If you are looking for the "Wow" venue, you found it. The pictures don't do it justice. The price is under market value and the owners could not be kinder. This sprawling venue is right out of a fairy tale with multiple indoor/outdoor areas to exchange vows. The worst thing about this place is having to choose only area to recite our nuptials. Working with the owners was easy. Unlike other venues, The English Country Barn comes without the pressures of using a specific caterer, the upcharge of having the alcohol provided, and they don't nickel and dime you for table used or hour you're on site. You can tell they are in the business for the right reasons. I looked at venues all over Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Banner Elk, Boone and Wilmington. I could not find anything to beat the price, beauty or ease of booking. The owner was responsive to my questions and quick to communicate, they spared no expense in the carpentry and did things by the book so there is no chance of things going wrong. If you are lucky enough to find an opening for your event, snatch it up!The English Country Barn of the Carolinas's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. We remain determined to make our Wedding Barn and multiple outdoor ceremony areas unique in every way possible, so every couple will have an amazing experience.
We now have 310 acres of private land and recently finished 'The Cottage' being a 3 bedroom house, with Bridal suite, hot tub and wrap around deck with a view of the Barn for our guests to stay overnight. Ian
