Capacity & Layout

Twin Oaks Barn is laid out to keep the whole celebration on one scenic, 70-acre farm. Couples can tie the knot on a beautiful lawn beneath the property’s mature oak trees, a picturesque outdoor ceremony setting, then move to the covered patio on the side of the barn, dubbed the Overlook, for a great cocktail hour, before celebrating the reception in the barn itself. That flow from an oak-shaded ceremony to a covered-patio cocktail hour to a barn reception gives the day a natural progression and a genuine weather backup. The barn’s over 6,000 square feet of climate-controlled space, with its 30-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed roof trusses, and black metal chandeliers, provides a striking, comfortable setting for dinner and dancing in any season. Couples enjoy exclusive access to the estate for 12 hours on the big day. That combination of an oak-lined ceremony lawn, a covered patio, and a spacious climate-controlled barn suits both mid-size and larger weddings.

Amenities

Twin Oaks Barn comes remarkably well equipped for a smooth, stylish wedding day. The rental of the facility comes with 22 handmade farm tables, 360 padded chairs, two slab tables, a rolling bar, seven whiskey barrels, and lots of decor, so much of the reception furnishing and styling is handled on-site, which takes a major piece of the rental and setup off couples’ plates. Couples also get exclusive access to the estate for 12 hours on the big day. The climate-controlled barn, with its 30-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed trusses, and black metal chandeliers, keeps guests comfortable and looks striking with minimal added decor, while the working farm, its mature oaks, and its charming animals give photographers an authentic, characterful range of backdrops. For the entertainment, the enclosed, climate-controlled barn gives a wedding DJ solid structure and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception stays powerful and the dance floor stays full.

Location & Getting There

Twin Oaks Barn sits on Cornwallis Road in Garner, on a 70-acre farm just 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh and about 40 minutes from Raleigh-Durham International Airport. That location is a genuine advantage, since guests coming from across the Triangle have only a short drive, and RDU is a manageable trip for anyone flying in. Garner and nearby Raleigh offer abundant hotels, restaurants, and amenities for out-of-town guests, so the wedding weekend is easy to plan around. Yet the 70-acre working farm, with its cattle, miniature horses, pygmy goats, and mature oaks, gives the property a peaceful, private, country feel once you arrive, so it feels like a genuine rural escape despite being minutes from the city. That balance of a stylish, boho-rustic farm venue with quick access to Raleigh is a big part of what draws couples to Twin Oaks Barn.
