Wedding DJ at Red Hound Farms in Clemmons, NC

The Space

Red Hound Farms sits on farmland outside Clemmons that owners Greg and Keri built from memories of 4H club days and life on a working farm. It is described as one of the largest farms in North Carolina open to the public, and that scale shows up in the event footprint, with an event barn set among working pastures rather than a manicured private lawn. The farm reopened in September 2024 after a closure, so couples booking now are getting a freshly reopened property rather than one mid-renovation.

Beyond the barn, the grounds carry the working farm through the whole day. More than 60 cattle graze in pastures crossed by tractor-pulled hayrides, and a petting area holds goats, sheep, llamas, donkeys, horses, chickens, peacocks, ducks and geese. None of that is staged for the wedding, it is simply what the farm does daily, which means a couple choosing Red Hound Farms is choosing a genuinely agricultural backdrop for photos and cocktail hour rather than a farm theme built for the occasion.

Capacity & Layout

The event center holds up to 150 seated guests, a number that suits a mid-size wedding more than a large one, so couples with bigger guest lists should plan around that ceiling early rather than after invitations go out. Red Hound Farms is a raw space, meaning the barn comes empty and the couple brings in their own caterer and vendors. That keeps the venue rental itself simple but shifts real budget and coordination into outside vendor contracts.

Access follows the farm’s own operating rhythm rather than a dedicated wedding schedule. Saturday hours run 10am to 5pm, with some Friday evening availability, so a Saturday wedding is sharing the day with a farm that is otherwise open to visiting families until the afternoon. Couples should confirm directly how much lead time they get before guests arrive, since setup for a raw, vendor-supplied event takes longer than a venue with house tables already in place.

Amenities

The country store on the property sells fresh eggs, meat and produce from the farm itself, a small but real detail some couples use for guest favors or a rehearsal dinner spread rather than anything shipped in. For anyone staying over, an A-frame cabin near Muddy Creek is available to rent separately from the event barn, giving the wedding party or out-of-town family a place to stay within walking distance of the ceremony.

Because the farm is home to a working petting zoo and hayride operation, there is built-in entertainment for guests during cocktail hour that most venues would have to bring in separately, since goats, sheep, llamas, donkeys, horses and more are simply part of the property. That works especially well for weddings with kids on the guest list or for couples who want photos that lean rustic and animal-filled rather than posed against a blank wall.

Location & Getting There

Red Hound Farms is in Clemmons, on the western side of the Winston-Salem area, and the drive itself sets expectations, since this is farmland rather than a downtown venue, so guests should plan for gravel or grass parking and dress accordingly. We have worked this room before, so we know the layout well enough to plan sound and setup around a barn event space and open pasture views rather than guessing at it.

Inside the barn, the room reads as an open, raw indoor space rather than a finished ballroom, so a DJ setup there means bringing full sound reinforcement rather than counting on house audio, and running speakers to cover open barn framing that carries sound differently than a carpeted hotel room. That open structure is part of the charm, it just means the music setup has to be planned for a genuinely rural, big-air room.
