Capacity & Layout

The Ivory Barn is designed to keep the whole celebration on one scenic property, with a genuinely versatile indoor-outdoor layout. Couples can exchange vows under the covered, greenhouse-inspired pavilion, gather guests on the large patio for an al fresco cocktail hour beneath the bistro lights, and celebrate the reception in the wide-open, 5,000-square-foot barn, whose wall of windows keeps the meadow views in sight throughout. A gas fire pit becomes a gathering spot after sundown, and the old red hay barn on the property makes a perfect photo backdrop. That flow across the pavilion, the patio, and the temperature-controlled barn gives the day a natural progression and a genuine weather backup. The layout suits both intimate weddings and larger celebrations, keeping everyone together on one comfortable, character-rich farm.

Amenities

The Ivory Barn comes remarkably well equipped for a comfortable, well-run wedding day. The temperature-controlled, 5,000-square-foot barn keeps guests comfortable in any season, and it includes two stylish dressing suites for both sides of the wedding party, a classy built-in bar space, posh bathrooms, and a caterer’s warming kitchen, so much of the day’s infrastructure is handled on-site. Outdoors, the bistro-lit patio, the greenhouse-inspired covered pavilion, the gas fire pit, and the old red hay barn give photographers a charming, varied range of backdrops with minimal added decor. The wall of windows and meadow views keep the reception bright and connected to the setting. For the entertainment, the enclosed, climate-controlled barn gives a wedding DJ solid walls and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception stays powerful and the dance floor stays full.

Location & Getting There

The Ivory Barn sits on 11 acres in Huntersville, just north of Charlotte in the Lake Norman area, conveniently located just four miles from a plethora of hotels and restaurants as well as Interstate 77.

Yet the 11-acre farm setting, with its meadow and open country, gives the property a peaceful, private feel once you arrive, so it still feels like a genuine escape just minutes from the interstate. That balance of a charming farm setting with quick Charlotte-area access is a big part of The Ivory Barn’s appeal.
