The Cotton Barn

The Brock Family Farms is a working farm with a barn for weddings in the greater Raleigh, North Carolina area. This venue is elegantly rustic with a modern indoor barn space that couples will find completely finished with hardwood floors, drywall, and pendant ceiling lights. This venue is located 20 minutes from the Pitt-Greenville Airport, roughly an hour and 40 minutes from downtown Raleigh.

Facilities and Capacity

This working farm invites up to 300 guests to attend a couple’s wedding. At Brock Family Farms, couples can exchange vows on the grasses of a bright open field or under the covered porch. Produce, berries, and other crops grow just behind the weathered wooden doors at the back end of the aisle. These stand-alone doors can be framed by hay bales or other decor items. From the outside, the barn space is a long, one-story, unassuming building. It features a spacious porch with a roof, under which couples will find wood-paneled walls, rocking chairs, and a fireplace. Inside, couples are greeted with simple elegance. Polished hardwood floors meet wood trim that climbs halfway up painted drywall. Overhead, strings of fairy lights add ambiance while pendant lights illuminate the room. A variety of decor, from rustic to elegant, is provided with the barn and can be interchanged to complement your style. Country elements and decor add a bit of charm to the wedding venue on this farm.
