How do I book a tour of The Ivory Barn?

We love meeting new people and showing off our venue. Please fill out our contact form and we will be in touch.

What is the cost for renting the venue?

Please fill out our contact form so we can learn more about the event you’re planning and send you applicable pricing.

Can we choose our own vendors for an event at The Ivory Barn?

Yes! After booking, we will supply you with a list of recommended vendors. These are professionals in the event industry whom our team has collaborated with and that we trust to provide a great experience for our clients. While this list offers guidance, you can choose a vendor not on the list. We do require that all vendors are seasoned professionals that carry liability insurance.

Are we able to provide our own alcohol?

Yes! Couples are able to provide their own alcohol. All alcohol must be served, during your event, by a professional and insured bartender. If liquor is going to be served at your event, you will be responsible for acquiring a Limited Special Occasion permit from the North Carolina ABC. Please refer to their website for instructions on how to obtain your permit.

Can you accommodate events other than weddings?

Yes, we love weddings, however we also host other events such as corporate meetings, parties, showers, bar/bat mitzvahs, class reunions, celebrations of life, etc. Event rentals are a minimum of 6 hours including set up and clean up time.

We love your venue but are still deciding. Can you hold our date for us?

Unfortunately not. We book on a first come, first serve basis. When you let us know you are ready to book, we will send you a contract to sign electronically. Once that contract is signed, we will collect half of the rental fee. At that point the date is officially reserved for your event.

When will our wedding rehearsal be?

The date of your rehearsal is typically the day before your wedding. However, the timing of your rehearsal may be affected by other events on The Ivory Barn calendar. The exact day and time of your rehearsal will be determined 30 days from your wedding. We guarantee a 1-hour rehearsal the week of your wedding.

Can I bring decorations and set up things for my wedding when I come to the rehearsal?

We do not allow any items to be dropped off or picked up outside of your contracted rental window. This includes all rental items, personal items, equipment, decorations, alcohol, food, etc.

Do you book more than one wedding on the same day?

No, when you book our venue for your wedding day, it's all yours. You will have access to the venue from 9:00 am until 11:00 pm or 1 hour after your event concludes (whichever comes first).

Can our dog be a part of our wedding?

We know how important your pets are. We do allow dogs to participate in ceremonies and/or photos, but we ask that they remain on leash at all times and that they be taken home for the reception. More details can be found about your pets' involvement in your day on our contract. This does not apply to service animals.

Are linens included in the venue rental?

Linens are not included. There are rental companies on our vendor list who would be happy to provide rented linens for your event.

Can guests leave their cars at the venue overnight?

Absolutely! We allow and encourage guests to leave their vehicles here overnight if they have been drinking at the event. We ask that vehicles be picked up the following day prior to 11:00 am.

Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?

Yes! All are welcome to host and attend events at our venue.
