About

The Meadows at Walnut Cove is a rustic wedding venue in Walnut Cove, North Carolina. Tucked away just south of Hanging Rock State Park, you and your guests will be surrounded by hundreds of acres of privately owned land. The Meadows is just a short drive from Winston-Salem and Greensboro, but you will feel like it is your own personal retreat. Your ceremony will be one of a kind, with a blue spring fed pond in the background, you have the opportunity to actually get married over the water on their ceremony deck. Your guests will be able to grab a drink from the 100 year old tobacco barn that has been restored and converted into the “BARn.” They will be able to continue to relax on the patio while you venture across all of the beautiful photo spots amongst the property. Their custom timber framed pavilion is rustic, charming, and spacious enough to host almost any size wedding. Book now for a unique country style wedding!

A venue that goes above and beyond

I have had the pleasure of being a guest at a wedding at The Meadows and directing another one here. Not only is it beautiful, but the staff and owners do so much behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly. They are flexible and jump to assist vendors and the wedding party and family in any way they can. I would recommend this venue to many other brides.

Tour this venue!

After searching and searching we were very happy to find this place. The pricing seemed too good to be true. We booked the SILVER package, which included everything we needed. At first, were were hesitant to look at "all inclusive" worried that it would restrict us. However, we were actually able to customize things completely and really enjoyed working with all of the vendors at The Meadows. We especially enjoyed the food, and our pictures turned out great - (shout out to White Oak Catering and Amir Luna)

Beautiful Venue & great staff

We toured this venue when we were looking at different options for our wedding. We ultimately decided on the "sister" property of this venue, mainly because we only had 40 guests, and it is slightly smaller. The staff was very friendly and this was an impressive place.

Couldn't be better

We were married here in October or 2023. From touring, reserving the date, and all day on the wedding day the owners and staff made us feel relaxed, and we enjoyed the entire experience.

Perfect day

We toured both venues owned by them. We loved the Garden at their other space, but ended up falling in love with the meadows and booked the gold all inclusive package. Everything turned out perfect. The staff was attentive and made me feel very at ease even with my world spinning around:). Our pictures were beautiful (Thank you Ashley)

The Meadows gave me my dream wedding!

We just got married here on may 29, 2021 and it could not have been any more perfect than it was. All my husband and I wanted to was to be married outside and when we found the Meadows we knew this would be where that would happen. We loved the venue and the staff from the beginning. We were planning on a budget and the venue had different packages to accommodate. Then each vendor was so willing to make our ideas for the day a reality. You feel so confident in what the day will be because each vendor they have knows what they are doing. On the wedding day we were expecting nothing but rain all day long. The staff knew that I wanted to get married down on the dock and did everything they could do to make that happen. Everyone was expecting to do the rain plan but all the vendors and staff worked miracles and got the deck set up without hesitation. The rain held off right until the end of the ceremony and it was all I imagined for that day. Because of how well they do their jobs and how kind the staff is, I did not have any concerns about the day itself. My mind was at ease and we were able to actually enjoy our day.

I can not say enough of how appreciative we are to have had the pleasure of getting married here and working with The Meadows. I highly recommend the venue and truly thank each one of them for making me the happiest bride.

Amazing Venue, Amazing owners

This has taken me way too long to post but let me tell you about this AMAZING venue and the even more AMAZING owners! One of the owners, Donna works with each couple. She set up meetings with us to get a plan in place for what we wanted, she worked with the venders and distributed the money and contracts to them, and answered our thousands of questions! On top of all of that, my husband and I got married Sept 15 and if you don’t recall that crazy weekend let me remind you what was happening! Hurricane Florence was barreling at North Carolina! This venue is an outdoor venue with a backup rain plan under the pavilion but when we are talking torrential downpour, 50+mph wind, we were all a little concerned! Not only had Donna been so wonderful the entire planning process.. meeting with us, answering all our calls, making sure we knew she had everything under control and making sure we weren’t stressed, but she was right there with us trying to figure out what do about the hurricane. My husband and I thought about rescheduling the wedding or changing venues but we loved our venue and the people with it and we didn’t want to push back our wedding. Tyler Rhodes (Donna’s son and owner as well), took his own time and helped to put up tent walls all around the pavilion the week of the wedding to keep out rain and wind. He ordered a second golf cart (usually used for guests that are older to get to the deck or pavilion) and golf cart enclosures (to keep the rain out) with their own money and the wonderful workers picked up every single one of guests as they stepped out of their car and brought them down to the pavilion to prevent anyone from walking in rain or mud. They did everything in their power to keep our day just as magical as we could’ve ever wanted. The wedding may not have been out on the dock but it was still just as beautiful. We had a great time and the rain held off (thank you Lord!) for us to even go take pictures out on the dock. Even though you may not be getting married in a hurricane I can assure you these wonderful people can help ease the stress and give you the most beautiful wedding no matter what circumstances may arise. The day of the wedding, they were right there doing everything and checking on us. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful venue and owners to go with it! 💕

This venue is absolutely gorgeous! I had a couple get married here in August 2017 and their staff were so wonderful. It's super important as a wedding coordinator to have a venue staff that is supportive and helpful throughout the planning process and the day of the event. I loved working with them!
