From the reviews

We just got married on 4/06/24, and Bansen Farms is by far the best place in Gaston County to plan your special day. From the owners, Allison and Jim, to the venue coordinator, Cathey, we felt well taken care of.

I wanted to share how wonderful and magical this Bansen Farm was for us. My husband and I had the most magical wedding of our lives. Needless to say that and our hosts were absolutely wonderful and SO helpful through the entire planning! We are so thankful that God brought us to this beautiful place.

I am so very happy that my granddaughter Mandi found Bansen Farms for us and we were able to book it for our daughter Katie's wedding on 10/25/25. What an awesome experience it was not to mention a beautiful place! Cathey was always so helpful and right on it when I called with my crazy questions and thoughts!

Getting married at Bansen Farms

Bansen Farms comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Bansen Farms

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Bansen Farms — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
