From the reviews
I highly recommend Wonderlust if you are looking for a unique and enchanting venue for any event. Once you arrive on the property, it feels as if you’ve been transported to another world, so simple and peaceful, a true departure. Yet it has everything you need to pull off a stunning event.
For starters, the owner and staff are wonderful and very personable. They are willing to answer any questions you may have or make accommodations. As for our wedding. It was beautiful! I was certainly worried about the weather but there was not a cloud in the sky. It is so serene out there!
The best place for any event! We loved hosting our daughters Baptism/first birthday at Wonderlust acres. They were always on top of every question or concern we had. The place is beautiful doesn’t need much decorating. Our big family had nice places to stay with the 3 cottages available to us.
An absolutely wonderful venue located in the sweetest corner of Wilkes Co. As wedding musicians who play all over NC and the surrounding States , this venue is one of our favorite!
Getting married at Wonderlust Acres
Wonderlust Acres 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.
