“Fantastic new location nestled in a serene and green expansive property with a pond and pasture holding the stars of the show: Four alpacas and two llamas!”

“After we got cleaned up, we made our way down to the pavilion where we were able to see the property more, use clean restrooms, and purchase items from their merch stand.”

From the reviews
As an Asheville wedding photographer and videographer, I spend a lot of time at venues across Western North Carolina, and Durrant Farms Estate really stands out. The property has this rare balance of wide open space and intentional design.
Durrant Farms Estate was truly perfect for our whimsical garden wedding. The estate is visually stunning, with so many picturesque views of the sky, pond and forest. We had a very specific vision, and the grounds were exactly what we wanted. The view was stunning in our photos!
Truly couldn’t have found a more perfect venue for our wedding! From beginning to end the owners Whitney and Tom made everything super easy and provided not just an arbor, rugs, corn hole boards, and a fire pit but tables and chairs for the ceremony and reception as well.
The Durrants and all staff were exceptionally sweet and super easy to work with. The venue is perfect allowing for an outdoor experience while still having the wonderful amenities of an indoor venue such as bathrooms and get ready spaces. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend.
Getting married at Durrant Farms Estate
Durrant Farms Estate 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.
