At Harvestlore Beverage Burros & Petting Zoo in Dunn, NC, we believe every wedding should be as unforgettable as the love story it's celebrating. We bring a one-of-a-kind farm experience to weddings across North Carolina with our charming Beverage Burros and interactive Petting Zoo.
Our Beverage Burros are more than just adorable—they're a guest favorite! Dressed for the occasion and ready to serve, our miniature donkeys carry custom drink baskets filled with champagne, cocktails, beer, water, or favors during cocktail hour, creating a fun, elegant, and unforgettable experience. They're the perfect icebreaker, photo opportunity, and conversation starter that guests will be talking about long after the wedding.
Looking for something truly unique? Our mobile Petting Zoo adds a memorable touch to weddings, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, bridal showers, and welcome parties. Featuring friendly miniature goats, bunnies, pigs, chickens, and more, it's a fun and interactive experience for guests of all ages while still complementing your wedding's atmosphere.
At Harvestlore, the health, safety, and comfort of our animals always come first. Every animal is lovingly cared for, socialized, and accustomed to meeting people, ensuring they're calm, friendly, and ready to help make your celebration extra special.
From your first inquiry to the day of your event, we're committed to making the process simple, professional, and stress-free. We arrive on time, handle all setup and cleanup, and work seamlessly with your venue and vendor team so couples can simply enjoy their celebration.
Whether you're planning a rustic barn wedding, elegant estate celebration, outdoor ceremony, vineyard reception, or intimate backyard gathering, Harvestlore adds a unique experience your guests won't find anywhere else.
We can't wait to help make your wedding day unforgettable!

- Jack DowlessOwner & OperatorHi! I'm Jack, co-owner of Harvestlore and the one who spends countless hours caring for our animals and making sure every event runs smoothly. Our animals are part of our family, and I take great pride in making sure they're healthy, well-trained, and comfortable in every environment. Seeing guests interact with them is one of my favorite parts of every event. Whether I'm preparing our Beverage Burros for cocktail hour, setting up for a petting zoo, or working behind the scenes, my goal is to make sure everything is safe, professional, and enjoyable for both our animals and your guests. We're honored to be part of such meaningful celebrations, and I look forward to helping create an experience that couples and their guests will remember for years to come.
- Caroline DowlessCo-OwnerHi! I'm Caroline, co-owner of Harvestlore. I've always loved creating meaningful experiences that bring people together, and that's exactly what inspired us to start Harvestlore. When we're not at weddings or events, you'll usually find me caring for our growing farm, creating content about homestead life, or dreaming up new ways to make every event feel extra special. I love the little details that make a celebration memorable, and nothing makes me happier than seeing guests smile when they meet our animals for the first time. My goal is to make every couple's experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. From your first inquiry to the day of your wedding, I'm here to answer questions, coordinate the details, and help bring your vision to life. It truly means so much that couples trust us to be part of one of the most important days of their lives, and I can't wait to help make your celebration unforgettable.
