Wedding DJ at Taylor Made Farms LLC in Taylorsville, NC

The Space

What is now a wedding venue started in 2011 as a working horse farm, and the owners converted it because they saw the family property could offer something different from a standard event hall. The barn at the center of the property measures 2,100 square feet and is climate controlled, sitting on nearly 50 acres of rolling hills with mountain views in the distance.

Beyond the barn, a separate 6,000-square-foot outdoor venue area and a 1,000-square-foot covered pavilion give the property room to host both an open-air reception and one with overhead cover in the same footprint. A large stone fireplace and matching fire pit sit on the grounds as well, fixed features rather than rentals, and useful for a cooler-weather date when guests want somewhere to gather outdoors after the sun goes down.

Capacity & Layout

The venue holds up to 150 guests, with 19 sixty-inch round tables, 3 eight-foot rectangle tables, 5 cocktail tables, a 10-foot wooden farm table, and 150 white folding chairs included, enough furniture on hand that a couple is not sourcing rental tables and chairs separately for a full-capacity wedding. Additional guests beyond 150 run $30 per person, a straightforward add-on rather than a renegotiated package for a guest list that grows after the initial booking.

A climate-controlled bridal suite with 2 bathrooms and a separate groom’s room with 1 bathroom give the wedding party dedicated prep space apart from the barn itself, so getting ready does not compete with setup happening in the main event space. Ceremony equipment, an 8-foot wood cross and a 9-foot arch, is on hand as well, built for the farm’s rolling-hills setting rather than a generic backdrop.

Amenities

A sound system with WiFi, a kegerator, and a 300-pound ice machine are included with the venue, practical equipment that covers drink service and audio without a couple needing to rent it separately. Parking accommodates up to 100 cars with attendants provided, a detail that matters given the property’s rural setting and the likelihood that most guests are arriving by car rather than walking in from town.

Extended events can run past the standard end time, though overtime is billed at $400 per hour, worth building into a timeline for a couple planning a late reception. The stone fireplace and matching fire pit extend the usable hours of an outdoor gathering into the evening, giving guests a place to stay warm and social once dinner and dancing wind down.

Location & Getting There

The farm sits in the foothills near Taylorsville, North Carolina, on nearly 50 acres where the mountain views are distant rather than close-up, the kind of setting that reads as open countryside rather than a backdrop mountain range. Guests driving in should expect a rural approach on a working farm property rather than a paved venue campus.

The 2,100-square-foot barn is climate controlled and enclosed, giving a DJ setup a contained, indoor room to fill evenly with sound regardless of weather, while the 6,000-square-foot outdoor venue area and covered pavilion are open-air, spreading sound out across a larger footprint and asking for speaker placement built for that distance rather than a single small room.
