A True Fairy Tale Wedding
The English Country Barn of the Carolinas had certainly looked beautiful online, but we immediately found that it was even more incredible in person. During our initial tour with Ian, we became completely enamored by the venue, amazed by the ceremony spaces, the reception and cocktail hour areas, the dressing rooms, and even the abundance of restrooms. We walked down the aisle in The Enchanted Wood and realized it was everything we had been hoping for. Meeting with Teresa, we gained advice, resources, and answers. During the planning process, we visited the venue 4 times and sent countless emails with consistently quick responses. I was surprised, relieved, and grateful that so many items were available for use with no extra charge (decor, signs, tablecloths, speakers, etc). Having venue access for the weekend was a game-changer for us as well, allowing us to set up all day on Friday, rehearse Friday evening, enjoy our Saturday wedding, and pack up to leave Sunday morning without stress or hassle. We even ordered some of Teresa’s homemade macarons and tiramisu shots for our wedding day, and they were absolutely delightful. It was ideal to work with the couple that owns the venue, and it was clear that Ian and Teresa are determined to constantly improve their venue for the benefit of their clients. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and we cannot thank them enough for doing everything they could to make it that way. The English Country Barn is gorgeous, and the owners are superb. Don’t wait to schedule your tour or book your wedding because the ECB is a gem, and you will not want to miss out on your dream wedding.
Response from vendor•May 17, 2025Thank you for your kind words. it was an absolute joy getting to know you both and an honor to be a small part of your day. We wish you every happiness today and always xWonderful Venue and Even Better Owners
The English Country Barn was an amazing venue! Mrs. Teresa and Mr. Ian were phenomenal in answering any questions or concerns, right up to the day of the wedding! They were instrumental in helping us make a last minute decision regarding rain the day of our wedding. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone.
Response from vendor•Feb 4, 2025thank you! We absolutely loved getting to know you both it was a delightful celebration. We sincerely wish you every happiness today and always xWouldn't change a thing!
I was so pleased with how perfect our wedding at the English Country barn was. From top to bottom you can tell they have thought of everything! There were so many options on where we could hold the ceremony, and after we picked we realized... we get to use all of the other areas for our photos!!! Both the inside and outside were absolutely breathtaking and Ian and Teresa were great to work with. It is so easy to flow people from ceremony, to pictures, to cocktail hour, and then to the reception. There is nowhere else I could imagine msrrying my soulmate. Thank you Ian and Teresa for pouring your live into building this astonishing venue!
Response from vendor•May 17, 2025Thank you for your kind words. We also wouldn't change a thing about your wedding weekend. everything was perfect. Our sincere best wishes on your new life together xGreat venue!
I have worked many events at this venue and would give 10 stars! The owners are fantastic to work with, they take great care of the venue. The venue has many outdoor ceremony options, a ton of restrooms, onsite accommodations, honeymoon cottage, two level reception area. More whistles and bells than all other venues. Highly recommend this venue to my couples!
