Wedding DJ at Moore Springs Manor in Westfield, NC

The Space

West of Winston-Salem, at the foot of the Sauratown Mountains near Hanging Rock State Park, Moore’s Springs Manor sits on ground that was once a 19th century mineral springs resort, the kind of destination that grew up around a rail line and a bottling operation in the 1880s. The manor house and its grounds now operate as a wedding venue, with the historic springs-era landscape standing in for what would otherwise be a built garden.

The reception barn on the property keeps a stone fireplace and exposed wood beams, so the room already has texture before anyone adds a single decoration. A greenhouse reception hall gives couples a second indoor option with a different feel entirely, glass-walled and bright rather than timber-framed, and the two rooms let a couple pick the backdrop that matches their photos rather than being locked into one look.

Capacity & Layout

The event pavilion holds 240 guests comfortably, which is the number to plan a floor plan and a guest list around rather than the venue’s outer limit. Multiple ceremony locations are available on the grounds: an open lawn, a gazebo with a three-tiered fountain, and the steps of the manor itself, so the ceremony can sit apart from the reception room and guests get a walk between the two rather than turning one room over twice.

A bridal suite on site means getting ready happens at the venue instead of a hotel down the road, which simplifies the morning timeline considerably. Landscaping with annuals, perennials, evergreens and deciduous trees is planned for color through the seasons, so a spring wedding and a fall wedding both get grounds that look intentional rather than seasonal leftovers, which matters for anyone booking a date outside peak bloom.

Amenities

Wedding packages start at 6,200 dollars, a starting figure rather than an all-in price, and it is worth asking directly what that figure covers before assuming rentals or bar service are included. The stone fireplace and exposed beams in the reception barn are part of the room itself rather than rented decor, which can shift a couple’s rental budget toward flowers and lighting instead of structure.

Moore’s Springs Manor won WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards in 2016 and 2020, a repeat recognition rather than a single good year. Piedmont Triad International Airport is less than an hour away for family flying in, which keeps travel simple for a venue that otherwise sits well outside the city. The property is landscaped for year-round color, so the grounds are doing some of the decorating work before a single vendor arrives.

Location & Getting There

Moore Springs Manor sits in Stokes County, about five miles from Hanging Rock State Park, with views of Moore’s Knob, Hanging Rock and the Blue Ridge Mountains from the property itself. This is a drive-to venue rather than a walk-to-town one, so out-of-town guests will need a car or a shuttle, and the mountain backdrop is part of what a couple is paying for rather than a bonus.

Winston-Salem is the nearest city of any size, putting this venue solidly in the country rather than a suburb, and Piedmont Triad International Airport under an hour away is the practical option for flying guests. With a stone fireplace and exposed beams inside the reception barn and open lawns and a gazebo outside, sound behaves differently room to room: the barn holds a beat well off its wood and stone, while the outdoor ceremony spots need a system built for open air rather than a wall to bounce off.
