History

Christi Ratcliff purchased Green Gables Farm in 2021 after their son was married at the farm. She and her entire family enjoyed the experience so much that when she found out it was for sale...she knew it was a fit. The previous owners, Cecil and Susan Stallard bought the farm in 2000 and built pastures and a paddock, decorated the farm house and purchased and cared for several horses, goats and a donkey. After hosting their son’s rehearsal dinner at the farm, they realized they wanted to share their farm as an events venue.

Location

Green Gables Farm is located off I-40 at Exit 150 in Statesville, North Carolina. This venue is 20 minutes from Mooresville, 40 minutes from downtown Charlotte, 45 minutes from Winston Salem and 30 minutes from Hickory.

Day of Dreams with the Roseboros

WOW, where do we begin?! May 11, 2024, was the most magical day of our lives all because of Christi and Jason and their staff at Green Gables. The venue itself is beautiful and very scenic with a country vibe. It's perfect for an outdoor wedding! But for me, it was the owners that impressed me the most. From day one Christi and her team were very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and passionate about what they do and determined to make our day the best day of our lives. ALWAYS available to answer questions, bounce ideas off of, or give you advice. Every detail was that we wanted to include in our wedding, the staff worked hard to make it happen. We would recommend this venue over and over again!!!! Thank you GGF for making our dreams come true!

Best Day Ever!

We were so happy we chose Green Gables Farm! They required a month-of coordinator, and we were so happy they did. Because we first saw the venue in the winter before our fall wedding, Susan let us come back to the venue in the summer to see everything in full bloom. The landscaping was beautiful, and the venue was spectacular! The pavilion fit our 90-100 guests perfectly with extra room on the dance floor. We had our ceremony on the lawn by the arbor. Our cocktail party was in the barn, and our reception was under the pavilion. It was so nice to have a separate space for our guests to go to before the actual reception so they weren't digging into the food or sitting in one place for too long. The farmhouse was plenty of space for our wedding party and families to hang out and get ready before the wedding. The upstairs was for the girls, and the downstairs was for the boys, completing blocked off so we never saw each other before we said "I do", which was what we were hoping for! We would absolutely do it all over again at Green Gables Farm!!

a rainy wedding...

Our May wedding at Green Gables was just beautiful, despite the rain!

On the morning of our wedding day, the weather was every brides' worst nightmare for an outside wedding. However, Green Gables has back up plans that still give you the outdoor look you want, even when you're "inside." Due to weather, we had some tricky situations going on, but I never even knew about them! Susan and team were quick to solve problems and make sure I was kept calm, and unaware.

The farmhouse on the property serves as the perfect place for a bridal party to get ready in and celebrate with friends and family before the ceremony. The pavilion is just beautiful and they have thought of every detail to make it a more enjoyable place to host a wedding. Susan was attentive to every question we had, leading up to the day of our wedding and on the day of.

We got so many compliments on what a perfect place Green Gables was, and we couldn't agree more. I absolutely recommend Green Gables, because not only is the venue stunning, but the team of people is just wonderful to work with!

OH MY GOODNESS!! Go with Green Gables Farms!! First off how cute is the name to this place. Second, not only is the name cute but every part of this venue (Farm house, barn, pavilion, grounds, sky, gravel road driving in, etc.) are literally so beautiful. My husband and I researched over 75 venues, visited 10 and decided on Green Gables Farm. That was because of the beauty, price for what you are getting, and Susan the owner made us feel so comfortable and at ease. From the moment we met I felt like we knew her and she treated us like we were family. She answered every single question with a quick response and helped in away way possible to make our day what we envisioned. Our wedding day was perfect and the backdrop was stunning. It did rain on our wedding day, but picking green gables farm makes choosing to have an outside wedding an easy. The pavilion to cover you if it rains is not a plan B but plan A for the reception and that just put me at ease. I did not check the weather the last week leading into the wedding because it did not matter. Even with the rain everything turned out perfectly, more then we could have asked because we even got a rainbow on our day! I can not say enough about this venue and would tell anyone to have their wedding here!!

As the mother of the bride, I accompanied my daughter and her husband to be as they looked at venues. After she saw Green Gables she said, "I don't want to look anywhere else," and we knew she had found her dream wedding location. She wanted a rustic mountain feel, a beautiful outdoor spot for the ceremony, and an option for rainy weather. Green Gables provides all of this. The pavilion is gorgeous, with wood beams, bark trim and stone. We did not feel the need to do alot of decorating aside from lanterns and greenery because it is "rustic elegant" on its own. The night of the wedding there was a wonderful ambiance there. We used the barn for games and a photo booth. It was fun to have that space as well. Lots of green space for children to run around too. Restrooms are easily accessible, as is parking, and the farmhouse is spacious and convenient for all the preparations. Susan was so easy and pleasant to work with, and gave us many helpful ideas and recommendations as we were not familiar with the Statesville area. Elegant and Classy Rentals works with Susan to provide planning for the last month, as well as rentals and we loved working with Sommer and Nicole. This was truly the perfect magical place for our daughter's wedding.

We looked at several venues, but we both knew from the time we pulled in the driveway that this was where we are going to get married! It is VERY easy to find - less than 5 minutes from I-40. We liked that it will be easy to direct our guests to but also feels secluded and private. It also can easily accommodate a large group of people (200+) and have plenty of covered space for everyone if it rains. The pictures don't do the property justice. The tree-lined drive is beautiful and I'm sure our guests will be impressed from the moment they pull in. The pastures surrounding the drive have horses, a donkey, and a few goats (who are super friendly and all love a good head scratch if you walk to the fence)! There is a beautiful farmhouse for the wedding party to get ready in with plenty of space for all. The ceremony site is on the lawn behind the farmhouse and is surrounded by several beautiful 200 yr old oak trees. It is a very short walk from the outdoor ceremony site to the barn and Pavilion for the cocktail hour/reception. The barn is smaller but has beautiful lighting and would be perfect for a cocktail hour. The Pavilion is GORGEOUS and open but can be completely enclosed if necessary. The bathrooms are easily accessible, very nice, and clean. The parking area is a short, easy walk but kind of hidden so it is not in your pictures.

So far, Susan has been great to work with! She is very friendly and quick to answer any question I have. The responsibilities and policies are very clearly outlined. You do have to use one of their 3 preferred caterers which I have not had taste testings with yet but they seem to have a variety of food options at any price point. You are responsible for set up and break down all the same day, but this will not be a problem for us as we have lots of family that would be doing that anyway even if it weren't required.

We are so excited and look forward to our big day at this beautiful farm! Definitely worth it for the price!

From the first time we drove down the long drive onto the property my husband and I knew this was where we were going to get married. We booked our wedding 10/22/2016 wedding in June of 2015. For the next 17 months Our excitement and anticipation grew. That was in part due to the fabulous owners, Susan and Cecil. .

You will not find two more caring and responsive people to help you make your dream wedding come true. Susan always had a quick response to all of my correspondence. Cecil had the property in top shape (as he always did!). They are so very helpful and welcoming; we felt as though we were family.

The property is beautiful and magical. All of our guests understood why we wanted to be married at the location we choose when they turned down the drive. Everyone is stil complimenting us on our venue.

Thank you Susan and Cecil for making our day just as beautiful and magical as we imagined it would be.

BEAUTIFUL venue and WONDERFUL owners! Susan was so kind and was flexible with us during the engagement and bridal pictures and was so helpful in the whole process. From helping to find vendors for the wedding to helping out on the wedding day. I got married at the venue during "Hurricane Joaquin" and despite the rain everything was still BEAUTIFUL! Unlike many wedding venues, this place is great even if the rain tries to get in your way because of the beautiful pavilion. The pavilion was amazing and great for a big or small wedding. Another great thing was you had the whole farm all to yourself the whole day of your wedding and also a very nice house on the farm to get ready in! I highly recommend this venue not only for the beautiful landscape and ceremony sites but also for the wonderful owners!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
