How much does it cost to have a wedding at Lone Oak?
The rental fee is $4,000. That covers Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to midnight, tables and chairs for up to 200, and use of the main barn, the groom's barn, the courtyard and the open grounds. There are no service fees or per-guest charges.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The only additional charges are for damage, or a cleanup charge if we have to remove trash and debris you leave behind. Bag your trash and put it where we show you and there's nothing extra.
How many guests can you hold?
Up to 200. The main barn seats 140 to 200 depending on whether you choose round or rectangular tables and how you lay out the dance floor.
Where are you, and how far from Fayetteville and Fort Bragg?
We're at 1663 Davis Bridge Road in Parkton, in southern Cumberland County. It's about 15 minutes to Fayetteville and Hope Mills and about 15 minutes to I-95. Fort Bragg is an easy drive north. Couples also come from Lumberton, Raeford, Spring Lake, Dunn, Laurinburg and Pembroke.
Can I bring my own caterer?
Yes. There's no required vendor list and no outside-catering fee. The prep kitchen is yours to use. We just need to know who your vendors are before the weekend.
Do you allow alcohol?
Beer, wine, champagne and mixed cocktails are allowed with the proper ABC permit, which you or your caterer obtains. Unmixed liquor (shots) is not permitted. Bar service ends one hour before your scheduled end time. Single-event liability insurance is strongly recommended.
What if it rains?
You have a covered open-air shelter with church pews and a climate-controlled barn, both included, so the ceremony can move under a roof without losing the outdoor feel. If a severe thunderstorm warning, tornado watch or hurricane watch covers Robeson County on your date, the contract's weather terms apply and we will work with you to reschedule.
Is the barn heated and air-conditioned?
Yes. The main barn is fully climate controlled. The covered shelter is open-air with a roof overhead.
What's included with the rental fee?
Access Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to midnight; tables and chairs for 200; the 7,000 sq ft main barn with bridal suite, prep kitchen and restrooms; the groom's barn with quarters and the covered shelter; the courtyard with fireplace; open grounds for photos; and free parking.
Can we hold the rehearsal dinner here?
Yes, Friday is included, so most couples set up during the day and host the rehearsal dinner on site that evening.
How do I hold a date?
A signed contract and a 50% deposit ($2,000) hold the weekend. The deposit is non-refundable. The balance is due 30 days before your event. Dates cannot be changed once booked.
Can I see the contract before I book?
Yes. It's five pages and written plainly. Download it from the link at the bottom of this page or on the pricing page.
What time do we have to be out?
Guests leave by midnight on the wedding day. Outdoor music ends at 11pm. You can come back Sunday to finish cleaning up.
Can we use candles, sparklers or petals?
Candles must be enclosed in glass chimneys or floating in secured containers; no open flames. Sparkler exits are allowed with advance approval. Real flower petals only; no artificial petals, confetti poppers or glitter.
Is Lone Oak really a working farm?
Yes. Depending on the season you may see us baling hay, planting or harvesting, working the beef cattle, or handling the horses we board. The horse barn, fenced areas, fields and pastures are off limits to guests.
Can we take photos with the horses or cows?
Guests may not approach, feed or enter enclosures with the animals. Bridal photos with an animal can be arranged if we plan it together before your date.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Accessible parking, seating and restrooms are available.
Where can our out-of-town guests stay?
There are several hotels, including Holiday Inns, about 15 minutes away in Hope Mills and Fayetteville and along I-95.
Do you host events other than weddings?
Yes: anniversaries and vow renewals, quinceaƱeras, graduation parties, reunions, retirement parties, church events and company gatherings. The same weekend package applies.
