Vintage Barn Wedding Shoot with Carisa Chee Photography And Nouvelle Soiree {Winston-Salem NC}

Andrea — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:10:45 +0000

What can we say. The fall season just got away from us. It was a delightfully busy time of warm colors, sweet weddings and gala events. We even secretly, in the midst of it all, found time to spend a few hours to play with our friends at Carissa Chee Photography and Nouvelle Soiree for a vintage styled bridal shoot.

And now we have a confession to make. We have been holding these beautiful photos captive since this past fall, hidden for only us to admire. That is, until today.

Join us, won’t you, as we look back at the beautifully styled elements from this creative ensemble – from florals to tablescapes to hair, makeup to the photography itself. You might even find some spring inspiration for your own special shoot to come…

A special thanks to Cari of Carissa Chee Photography, Brooke of Nouvlle Soiree, Amy Gooch (hair & makeup) and Wayne of Floral Visions. It was our pleasure opening the barn to you and watching your creativity unfold.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and girls. It’s official. The Granary at WinMock is now open for rentals and WE cannot stop gushing about how much we love having this new space to share, just steps away from WinMock (a.k.a. the “big barn”).

The Granary at WinMock.

On November 17th, the Granary (a.k.a. the lil’ barn) welcomed her first visitors for an intimate gathering of staff, crew members, local officials, clients and meetings professionals.

WELCOME to The Granary, just steps from WinMock.

The flexible space, filled with historic character and rustic charm, is an ideal setting for meetings, teambuilding events, seminars, conferences, retreats, group luncheons, private dinners, retirement parties, wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, gosh, the list goes on and on…

With soaring wooden beam work, carefully designed zoned lighting, and full wired and wireless connectivity, The Granary is a charming alternative for smaller groups. The event space accommodates groups up to 160 (theater seating).

Tabatha Renegar , managing director of WinMock, shared “We have already received a tremendous amount of interest for 2012 bookings and just like with WinMock, many clients contracted before renovations were even complete.”

Cross beams are highlighted with soft lighting.

Andrew and Julie {Winston Salem Rehearsal Dinner}

Andrea — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:24:26 +0000

The night before. The wedding plans are in place. Every detail has been checked. Families and friends have arrived.

It’s a night to reminisce, share toasts and well wishes. It’s a night that marks the beginning of a lifelong celebration as two families become one.

There is such a special air that surrounds rehearsal dinners and Julie and Andrew’s is one that has lingered in our minds. It was an evening filled with personal touches, country music and inspired vintage decor created by our good friends at Rebecca Rose Events and captured by Jessica Lobdell Photography. Here’s a look back at the special night before Julie and Andrew said “I Do”.

Julie and Andrew, thank you for choosing WinMock as the backdrop of your rehearsal dinner. You both are such a delight and we’re honored to have been part of your wedding weekend!

Wedding Planner: Rebecca Rose Events

Photography: Jessica Lobdell Photography

Catering: Holly Tate Fine Catering

Flowers: Amy Lynne Originals

The Granary at WinMock – Update!

Andrea — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:10:10 +0000

Hi friends! As many of you know, in the midst of all of the beautiful weddings, creative meetings, special dinners and other comings and goings at WinMock, we have been “quietly” working on our latest pet project around back. We have been carefully working with our fantastic renovation crew again to transform the small former granary barn into an additional event space and we’re making great progress each and every day. As of today, we’re right on track to open her doors in a few short weeks and we simply cannot wait for you to see!

Now we know ya’ll are eager for a peek inside, so to whet your appetite here are a few shots of our renovations along the way from our good friend Tom McCulloh of TMphotography. More to come!

Sarah And Michael {Winston-Salem Wedding Ceremony And Reception}

Andrea — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:46:01 +0000

This month brought a special moment for us all at the barn. On October 8th, roughly a year after we threw the first scoop of dirt to kick off our renovation project, we had the wonderfully sweet moment of watching one of our very own say “I Do”.

It’s hard to put into words how special it was for us to watch Sarah & Michael wed here at the barn. Sarah is the lovely daughter of our “boss-man”, Wayne, and Michael is the sweet classmate who stole her heart.

A few months after renovation on the barn began, Michael asked Sarah to marry him in the rustic unfinished space. From then on, the project took on a whole new meaning for us all (especially for a certain father of the bride-to-be).

Today we are delighted to share a glimpse at the day we have all been building towards….

Let us proudly introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Williams
