Do I Have To Use Your Vendors, Or Can I Bring My Own?
We have a list of excellent vendors to choose from, but you can have your own except for the bartenders - which must be hired from our “Approved List of Bartenders”. There is not a
commercial kitchen on site; however, there is a standard size side/side refrigerator and
some work/storage space. All food must be catered into event. We do not have any means
of keeping food hot or cold storage of any food items. This must all be provided by your
caterer. We do not allow any cooking or food prep on our premises.

Yes beer, wine or signature drinks only. We require a bartender from our approved
list. Taylor Made Farms LLC does not tend the bar and we do not provide and/or
serve any alcohol.
GUESTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BRING THEIR OWN ALCOHOL.
Any alcohol brought on to the property by your guest has to be given to the bartender to serve. There can be no charge to attend the event or buy a drink. During the event all alcohol must go behind the bar and be served by the bartender.
The bride/groom (Host) must purchase a 1 day Special Event Alcohol Permit from the State of NC for $50. Alcohol can not be served at your event with out this permit. (We will supply you with the application).
We reserve the right to refuse to serve to any guest/wedding party we deem may have had too much to drink. No refunds on venue if we refuse service of alcohol to any guest, wedding party etc... If alcohol is to be consumed at the Rehearsal and/or Rehearsal dinner a bartender must be serving and the Alcohol Permit must include this date.
NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY.
Do I Have To Get Event Insurance?
Yes, a one day wedding insurance policy is required.
The purpose of Wedding Liability Insurance is to protect you if you or your event
causes damage or injury. Otherwise, you may be personally responsible and nobody
wants a marriage to start out with that kind of financial burden. The simple act of
putting up lights could cause wall damage or an accidental wine spill could cause
your Aunt to take a spill and injure her wrist.
Are All Of Your Areas Outside? What Happens If It Rains?
This is an outdoor venue consisting of an outdoor covered Pavilion and dance area.
Your ceremony can take place outside under the pavilion and reception inside the
barn. In the case of heavy rain during the ceremony the barn can be closed to the
elements and also be used for the ceremony. The Barn holds 110 people comfortably
plus an additional 5 tables can be put under the overhang.
How Many People Can Be Onsite?
Our maximum is 150 people which includes guests, family, bridesmaids/groomsmen,
preacher, coordinator etc… for additional people we must know 2 weeks in advance
of the event and it is an additional $30/ per person over 150. You would be
responsible to supply additional tables, chairs, linens and possible tent.
Do We Have To Clean The Facility Before We Leave?
YES, you must remove all decorations, personal items, food and/or anything you
have brought to the venue at the end of the night. The venue must be given back to
us in the condition it was given to you. All trash must be bagged and set outside
underneath overhang in 1 location for us to remove. The TMF Staff will finish all the
cleaning including tables, chairs, haul off trash etc… If any guests and/or wedding
party vomits, spills or causes any damage to this facility it is your responsibility to
