A note from Windy Hill Farm

Dear honored guests of the wedding couple,
​
We can't wait to share our farm with you. We hope this information will help you feel at home during your time here.

• COVID-19 warning and terms:
  • An inherent risk of exposure to COVD-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the CDC, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.
  • We have taken and will continue to take enhanced health and safety measures and ask that you please do your part to slow the spread of COVID-19 by following all posted instructions while visiting Windy Hill Farm
  • Please stay home and send your love from afar if you are sick or have been in contact with someone known to have COVID-19
  • Orange County and North Carolina require wearing a mask in public spaces. As a private venue, we do not require but recommend wearing a mask while here at Windy Hill Farm. The happy couple are your event hosts and are responsible for enforcing your compliance with any current guidelines and requirements including wearing a mask and practicing appropriate social distancing.
  • Windy Hill Farm staff will wear masks when in close contact with those here celebrating, and will otherwise keep a safe distance between ourselves and others.
  • When using our golf cart, we ask that you please not sit next to the driver and instead use the rear two seats
  • Remember that handwashing is your #1 defense against COVID-19. Hand sanitizer is an excellent backup but should be used in combination with, not instead of, handwashing.
  • By visiting Windy Hill Farm, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree to the prior terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not attend a wedding at Windy Hill Farm.
• We know many of you will be coming from out of town and are eager to see the farm in advance. We are a working farm on private property, and the days leading up to the wedding are extremely busy with event prep and other farm work. Additionally, we have uncontained, working livestock guardian dogs (who are put away on wedding days and for scheduled tours). For your safety and out of respect for staff, owners, and other clients, please do not visit prior to wedding day without scheduling a tour in advance. Unexpected visitors will be asked to leave. You may schedule a visit or ask questions by emailing us at hello@visitwindyhill.com. We respond to inquiries and tour requests during normal office hours (M-F 9-5) and anticipate heavy email volume during the spring wedding season. We appreciate your patience as we work hard to respond to all inquiries.
• On wedding day, please enter our address and not Windy Hill Farm into your GPS, and it should bring you right here
  • 1319 Carr Store Rd, Cedar Grove, NC 27231

  • RDU - 35-45 minutes
  • Durham - 25-30 minutes
  • Chapel Hill - 30-35 minutes

• Please park within the painted spaces along the driveway before the sign for "drop-off/unload only beyond this point." From the road - left-hand spaces are perpendicular to the driveway, right-hand spaces are parallel to the driveway. Beginning 1 hour before ceremony start time, two parking attendants will be in the parking area to assist you. A golf cart is available should you need one.
• Our grounds are a combination of grass and gravel, and our event pavilion has a Chapel Hill gravel floor (similar to pea gravel). There is a short walk from the parking area to the event space. We recommend comfortable footwear (wedges, flats, mules, & boots all work well).
• The inside of the farmhouse is reserved for the wedding couple, their immediate family (parents, grandparents, children, siblings), and their attendants (bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl, ring bearer, officiant). Please do not enter the farmhouse unless you are an attendant or immediate family member.
• Guest restrooms are located in the small "Adirondack" style building between the large, open-air event barn and the red barn
• Our ceremony sites are open-air (most are at least partially, if not fully, shaded), and our event barn is open-air with frills (cozy heaters, wind screens, wall fans, and a fire pit nearby). Don't forget a shawl, sweater, sun hat, or parasol if temperatures look variable.
• If you smoke, please place cigarette butts in one of the designated butt canisters. Please do not smoke, including e-cigarettes and cigars, under any roof on the property, including in the event pavilion, privy, and farmhouse, or in the pastures.
• Windy Hill Farm fences will be off between 10am and 11pm on the day of the wedding. Feel free to climb through and visit with the goats during the reception. Our neighbors' fences, just on the right of the main driveway as you face the event barn, may be on, and we ask that you please respect their private property by not going through their fences.
• If you take any photos while you're here, don't forget to tag us @windyhillwed when you share them online!
