About The Property:
It isn’t surprising that sunflowers are a part of the property somehow; this flower has always been one of our favorites. We figured we would have a sunflower garden, or we would have a sunflower arrangement somewhere placed in the venue. However, we didn’t quite think it was going to be the name of the property, yet when we were dialing in on names, sunflowers just made sense. Sunflowers are unique, bright flowers. They welcome sunlight and can withstand adversaries with their strong, upright stems. However, the symbolism behind the sunflower is powerful and relevant to our ideal property. A sunflower represents strength and loyalty, particularly between two people. At Sunflower Meadows, we are the place where two people commit themselves to one another for a lifetime. That relationship will encounter hardships and tests, but with strength and a commitment to one another, a pair can persevere. Moreover, a sunflower is a spiritual flower that symbolizes faith and adoration for all; a flower that has been used in ceremonies for thousands of years, the sunflower, therefore, encompasses love and longevity. We wish that all who visit our property live a long happy life, one that is full of laughter and love. It is also our wish that our family, and our barn, experience longevity in this community and that, as a family, we experience that same happiness and love together on this land.
About The Venue:
Sunflower Meadows is a 45 acre farm of fertile land snuggled in a quiet area of Newton, NC. The venue offers a variety of ceremony spaces: a charming, rustic barn; a grand pasture with scenic views; and a quaint garden. Our doors will, in fact, be open this fall to brides seeking an outdoor, white tent wedding. However, in the Spring of 2022, a one-of-a-kind timber-framed pavilion will be constructed on the upper pasture, and it will include a beautiful floor to roof stone fireplace, market lighting, and outdoor cocktail space. Also this fall, an outdoor beer garden will stand on the upper pasture, as well, that will offer additional outdoor patio space adjacent to the pavilion. Both of these spaces will be able to accommodate up to 125 people.
