“Growing up I dreamed of being married on a family farm in Massachusetts, but when we got engaged I realized how expensive and difficult it would be to pull off. Searching locally in Charlotte was discouraging. Every place I toured reminded me of what I’d be giving up and nothing felt like me. As soon as we turned down the driveway to MGF, I felt so at peace, so enchanted, and so at home. MGF was the perfect backdrop for the organic yet elegant farm wedding that I envisioned. Getting dressed in the bridal cottage was one of my favorite parts of the day. I remember looking around trying to bottle up how beautiful everything was. It was the perfect place to start our life together!”

“We only had one weekend to find a venue since we were traveling in from out of town. We immediately noticed how peaceful it was. We knew we could have both ceremony and reception in one place here, and because they’d be connected by these gorgeous winding pathways through the woods, it felt like there was magic in the air already. Pictures simply can’t do it justice. I’m brought to tears writing this because I truly cannot imagine our wedding day being anywhere other than MGF.”
"Having an impartial and trained editor’s eye like Sarah Love’s looking at my work is an invaluable tool to create a stronger portfolio and brand for myself. I literally teach looking deeper at imagery and seeing images for their shapes and compositions, but when it came to building my new portfolio website it was so hard for me to objectively see my images that way. Sarah worked with me to choose which images flowed together on a page and put my best foot forward to any potential clients looking at my website. What I found really unique about Sarah's feedback was that she didn't just tell me to change something with no reasoning behind it. Instead she took the time to illustrate exactly why something was successful where something else failed so I was able to learn and can now think deeper about it when I make future website and graphic design choices."

Morning Glory was the perfect event space for my wedding! I had spent months looking at different venues, but fell in love from the moment I saw the website. Once we got to see the farm in-person it lived up to every hope and dream I had envisioned for my wedding day! From the beginning, Nan and Maggie were so kind, professional and accommodating. Throughout the process, they were extremely responsive, answering all of my questions and easing any worry I had about the set up. The team at the farm had the set-up done perfectly and everything was picture perfect for my wedding and I loved being able to live my dream of celebrating and dancing with family and friends under the stars. I truly loved my experience at Morning Glory Farm and would recommend them to anyone looking for a truly magical outdoor event venue.

“I wanted something that felt private and had a garden, whimsical feel to it. We did our venue tour during the winter and still thought it was breathtaking. When the wedding came in September, the landscape of the property blew us away. MGF is truly a picture perfect wedding venue! We really didn’t need to add many of our own decorations. MGF helped me feel relaxed and excited on my wedding day, like a true bride.”

“I could not find what I was looking for - a garden like, natural, magical venue - until MGF. From the flowers to the farm to the natural atmosphere, it does not even need any dressing up. Everything was exactly how we dreamed it should be. We are thankful and full of love. You guys are the cream of the crop!”

Client Reviews
“Many of the places we looked at felt more like wedding factories than a place we could truly be ourselves. The team at MGF made us feel more like family than just another couple using their space. The farm is their home and you can feel their love for the land and their joy being able to share it with others. The entire property, including the driveway, parking lot, bridal suite, everything - was so beautifully taken care of. There is not a single thing about the venue we would change. It is simply perfect and my husband and I will cherish it forever!”

“No detail has been left out at MGF - from the bridal cottages to the lights and firepits. MGF felt like an experience - it blends the feelings of intimacy of being home with the vastness of being in nature, part of something bigger than yourself. It poured on our wedding day, but the MGF setting couldn’t have been more perfect. Getting married under a lit tent, surrounded by ethereal rain and mist being loved on by our family and friends was the perfect setting for our special day. I felt totally at ease. I was able to relax and spend time with my bridal party in the cottage, love on my husband under an umbrella in the trees and celebrate with family and friends.”

“We were finding lots of “barn venues” but not many with a clean slate to work with and a place with a luxury yet organic feel. We fell in love from the moment we drove onto the property. We honestly get emotional just thinking about it. We love you, MGF!”
-bride & groom
“We wanted our guests to feel comfortable and wanted to be able to personalize the wedding day so it didn’t feel like every other wedding. We were starting to feel frustrated and nervous that we’d have to settle for a venue we didn’t love. I remember calling my mom immediately after we saw MGF to tell her we had found the place! It’s the perfect mix of natural, organic greenery that wasn’t overly manicured or styled, combined with magical touches like twinkle lights on the dance floor. I didn’t want to be stressed about anything, MGF made everything easy - Nan and Maggie proactively communicated throughout the process making it the smoothest, most well-organized wedding I’ve been to. It was seriously the best, most fun day of our lives - we could not be happier and would recommend MGF to any couple looking for a venue!”

“We were looking for something to fit the personality and style of my now husband and I (still feels weird saying that!). Most venues we toured were either out of budget, too formal, or too rustic for us. Some of the best parts of MGF were the quality of services provided, venue setup on the day of, ease of planning, availability for questions and walk throughs, and plenty of staff to help keep things on track. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the farm was. It’s a serene little hidden gem!”

"Absolutely breathtaking venue! It rained on our big day, but it didn't even matter because everywhere you look there is beauty on this farm! Nan & Maggie are such a pleasure to work with, as they are so sweet and accommodating. They truly make sure you have a fairytale day!"
