Shady Wagon Farm

If you’re looking for the perfect outdoor wedding venue with a rustic-feel, look no more. Shady Wagon Farms was the perfect venue for our beautiful wedding. Monica was a rockstar and helped make our wedding day truly amazing. Although the weather did not cooperate, the beautifully decorated pavilion made for a perfect Plan B location for our ceremony, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Shady Wagon Farms is truly a hidden gem and so grateful we found the most beautiful outdoor wedding venue for our special day.

After attending a wedding at Shady Wagon I knew I wanted to get married there too. There is something so magical about this place. They made everything so easy for me as a bride. I loved that they had a list of recommended vendors that I could trust. Monica has a sweet calm demeanor that everyone needs in a day of wedding coordinator! It rained on my wedding day and they were able to accommodate all of our guests. The grounds and facilities are immaculate. I love the area for the bridal party and groomsmen to hang out and get ready including a traffic light that tells the groom when he can come out! They have thought of every detail and now offer a Bed and Breakfast! I highly recommended booking Shady Wagon Farm and Carroll Manor as your wedding venue!

If you want a farm venue without having to drive hours away from Raleigh, look no further! Shady Wagon Farm is convenient to everywhere in the Triangle, but it sits on enough land that it still has a real farm feel. So many gorgeous spots for photos too! As a wedding photographer, that's the first thing I think about haha.

My family and I attended two events at the Shady Wagon Farm. Coming from out of town each time was a delight to return to this beautiful place. The care that is taken to make sure that every detail of decor , lighting and accommodations is evident. Shady Wagon a magical place to remember and share with loved ones . I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is wanting to have a memorable event.

I got married here May 5, 2019, and I don’t have enough words in my vocabulary to describe my experience. The team at Shady Wagon Farm made my day everything that I had always dreamed of and more. Monica was my day-of coordinator and she made all of my visions come to life and executed everything even better than I could describe to her. We picked this venue not only for its beauty by looking at it, but because of the welcoming atmosphere from the second we toured. There was no pressure to pick them, but still treated us as if we’d already signed the contract. We even rode around on the golf cart and my son, who was two at the time, was so intrigued by the ducks and goose on the property, that they took us to see them up close. We were thrilled! The day of my wedding, all I did was show up and get ready, and everything beyond that was handled by SW. As a hairstylist who has done weddings for years, I was fully expecting to be super stressed, and I felt nothing but peace and excitement all day long! It even rained on my wedding day, and most of the time that would be a bad thing, but the “plan b” option was just as beautiful as out by the pond. The team flipped the ceremony from outside to under the overhang behind the barn in a timely manner, and again, made it stress-free for me! As a little girl I always said I wanted to get married in a red barn, and Shady Wagon (and the rain) made that happen! If you’re on the fence about Shady Wagon Farm, don’t be. Just do it! Even three years past my wedding day, I still keep in touch with the family and they truly are the best people ever.
