Lone Oak Parkton is a farm wedding venue in Parkton, North Carolina, fifteen minutes south of Fayetteville and Hope Mills and an easy drive from Fort Bragg. Couples come to us from Fayetteville, Lumberton, Raeford, Spring Lake, Dunn, Laurinburg and Pembroke, and plenty of them are military families who want a wedding close to post without a hotel ballroom. One wedding a weekend. $4,000 for Friday through Sunday. Up to 200 guests.

Three places to say your vows

Every booking includes all three, so you can pick the ceremony spot that fits the season and keep another as the rain plan.

Inside the barn

Rows of chairs facing the chapel arbor built from 1840s lumber. Climate controlled, so July and January both work.

The reception

The main barn seats 140 to 200 at round or rectangular tables, your choice. It is heated and cooled, has guest restrooms, and has a prep kitchen where your caterer can plate dinner or set up hors d'oeuvres. The bar is built from the old cotton gin's lumber. String lights run the length of the ceiling.

Outside catering is welcome, and so is your own baker, florist, DJ or band. Beer, wine, champagne and cocktails are allowed with the right ABC permit; shots are not. Outdoor music ends at 11pm and the property closes at midnight.

Getting ready

The bridal suite is inside the main barn: a long counter with stations and mirrors for five, a private bathroom with room for two more, a sitting area, and a reclaimed wood accent wall that photographs well. Dresses hang against the old boards.

The groom's quarters are in their own building with seating, a mini bar, a TV, a private bath and their own parking, so the two sides of the wedding party stay out of each other's way until it's time.
