Wedding DJ at Stokes Family Farm in Greenville, NC

The Space

Stokes Family Farm in Greenville is still a working farm before it is anything else: Chris Stokes grew up on this land, and after his father stopped row cropping in 1988, Stokes turned the property into an agritourism destination and wedding venue in 2019. The transformation kept the working-farm character intact rather than replacing it, so the barns, fields, and hilltop that host weddings today are the same ground the family farmed for decades before them.

Four distinct spaces sit across the property: an open-air Hilltop Chapel with views of the surrounding countryside, the Main White Barn, the Red Barn, and the newest addition, the Small White Barn. Each of the three barns comes with its own kitchen and restroom facilities built in, which is not universal among farm venues and means a couple is not relying on a single shared service building for the whole day.

Capacity & Layout

The Hilltop Chapel is the largest single space on the property, seating up to 240 guests in an open-air setting with sightlines across the farm’s fields, and it is sized to work for either a ceremony alone or, for smaller guest lists, a full wedding. The Main White Barn comes in just under that at 200 seated, giving a couple a large but fully enclosed option if weather or preference calls for four walls instead of open sky.

For smaller guest lists, the Red Barn holds 60 and the Small White Barn, the property’s newest space, seats 35 with air conditioning and a refrigerator built in, both scaled for an intimate wedding rather than a scaled-down version of the big barn. With four spaces ranging from 35 to 240 guests, Stokes Family Farm can genuinely fit a rehearsal dinner, an elopement, or a 200-person reception without ever feeling like the wrong size room.

Amenities

Each of the three barns includes a prep kitchen and restrooms, and the Main White Barn adds a dedicated food and caterer’s room, so outside catering has a real workspace rather than a corner of the reception room to operate from. Table cloths and kitchen equipment are included at no additional charge, and free WiFi is available across the property, both practical inclusions that keep the rental price from ballooning with add-on fees.

The farm accepts cash, all major credit cards, and Apple Pay, and 300 grass parking spaces are available on site, enough for a genuinely large wedding without guests parking along a farm road. Alcohol service is allowed with the right insurance, a liquor license, and a bartender to serve it, and the property is non-smoking throughout, with smoking permitted only inside a private vehicle in the parking lot.

Location & Getting There

Stokes Family Farm sits in Pitt County near Greenville, and the property is rentable from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., a wide window that gives a wedding party real room for morning setup and hair and makeup without racing a shorter access period. All event types are allowed on the farm, but weddings hold priority booking status, which tells you where the venue puts its own focus even as it runs fall festival operations on the same grounds each autumn.

With three enclosed barns and one open-air chapel on the same property, sound needs differ space by space: the Hilltop Chapel is genuinely outdoors and open to the countryside around it, while the barns are hard-walled structures where a DJ’s speakers reflect off wood and metal, so a couple choosing between the chapel and a barn is also choosing between an open, breeze-carried ceremony sound and a more contained, controllable reception sound.
