A Thoughtful Backup — Not a Last-Minute Scramble
Flexible indoor and outdoor spaces allow your wedding day to be calm, beautiful, and well-paced — even if the weather changes.
Couples planning an outdoor wedding in North Carolina often worry about rain. At Bansen Farms, that concern is handled with a sailcloth tent that accommodates 150 and a climate-controlled venue. Both are included in your package. You are also welcome to rent a secondary tent for the ceremony site!
Covered Ceremony Options for Rainy Weather
Ceremony Under the Sailcloth Tent
If rain is expected, your ceremony may be held beneath our sailcloth garden tent, offering full coverage while maintaining an open-air feel. Your planner can coordinate the layout so reception tables are thoughtfully moved to one side of the tent, allowing the ceremony to take place on the other.
This option creates a covered outdoor wedding ceremony that feels intentional, elegant, and seamless — not improvised.
Indoor Ceremony in the Main Barn
For couples who prefer a fully indoor option, the ceremony may be hosted inside our climate-controlled main barn venue. The barn comfortably seats up to approximately 100 guests, including space for the dance floor area, and is designed to feel open and inviting rather than crowded.
This provides a beautiful indoor wedding ceremony option while still allowing guests to enjoy the outdoor setting throughout the day.

The Experience, No Matter the Forecast
Rain does not change the experience at Bansen Farms.
It simply offers a different setting within the same thoughtfully designed venue.
