Q + A

Where is the venue located?

The wedding is located at the Anne Springs Close Greenway in the Dairy Barn in Fort Mill, SC. This is very close to Charlotte and Ballantyne. Address is included on the travel page.

Is the event indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony and reception are collocated in the dairy barn. The event is entirely indoors and climate controlled.

Will you be serving food?

Yes! We will have tacos as late night bites, but it will be informal and not a sit down plated type of meal. As our ceremony begins at 8:30, it will already be well past diner time. We recommend eating dinner beforehand. Of course there will also be cake.

Will there be alcohol?

Yes! We will have an open bar that begins with a cocktail hour after the ceremony to light up the NYE atmosphere. If there is a certain type of liquor you prefer, please let the bride or groom know in advance. Please plan accordingly for your ride home to be safe.

Are children allowed?

We love children, but because the wedding is late and there will be drinking and adults celebrating New Year’s Eve we have decided to keep the event as adults-only, with the exception of a few very close youngster relatives. Please ask us if you’re not sure.

How late is the party?

Our party will end at 12:30 am. If you’d like to keep your party going, we can give you a few recommendations.

When do I need to RSVP by?

Please RSVP no later than Thanksgiving.

What’s the weather like in Charlotte in January?

The coldest month of the year in Charlotte is January, with an average low of 34°F and high of 52°F.

What should I wear?

This is a cozy and elegant New Year’s Eve barn wedding—dress to impress in semi-formal attire with warm layers for the winter evening. Comfortable footwear for dancing is encouraged! For more outfit inspiration, visit https://www.theknot.com/content/what-to-wear-for-a-barn-wedding

What is the parking situation?

The Dairy Barn has its own parking area that is very convenient and right at the front entrance. Ladies may want to be dropped off by the door/sidewalk entrance if they are wearing heels because it’s gravel.

Is there wheelchair access?

Yes! The venue has a small elevator that will take you upstairs to the loft where ceremony is. Please ask us before hand and we can help you find it. The venue will also have a staff member onsite to assist.

Will you have a wedding registry?

Yes! Stay tuned - this will be up sometime early October.
