Just imagine your event here at Southwind Acres. Our barn has a true rustic/chic style that can accommodate 200 seated guests and can be customized for the event of your dreams. You have the option of an outdoors ceremony where you and your guest will get pleasure in the lush flowing lawn that is surrounded by many trees and nature. You may also choose an indoor ceremony in our Mini Barn style chapel adorned with crystal chandeliers. With either option you and your guest will be enlightened with a picturesque view that will never be forgotten.

Built in 1904, this beautifully exposed brick venue has been renovated to provide you a space to host casual or elegant events. Bridal suite, grooms area, catering kitchen, patio, indoor and outdoor bars standard with all full day rentals. Just minutes off interstate 26, we are conveniently located and have ample onsite parking. We offer venue rental as well as a tiered service to assist with the details. The Cotton Press offers a variety of services from equipment rental, staffing services and event planning. We do not provide food or drink but allow you to select your choice of approved vendors. Whether “The Cotton Press” is needed for a ceremony, reception, family reunion or conference, we are committed to providing you the perfect space to suit your needs.

Nothing is more important to us than family, which is one of the reasons we started our adventure to build a barn wedding venue. A Place where we can not only work together as a family but we can be a part of new families being formed. We love what we do and we feel truly blessed to be able to be a part of one of the most important, beautiful days a person will ever experience.
