About The Barn of Chapel Hill at Wild Flora Farm
Kara didn’t just dream of a flower farm and floral design studio. She dreamed even bigger. The heart of her property is a stunning historic barn, originally built in 1864. She moved the barn from New York to North Carolina in 2016. Can you believe it? And that was just the beginning of this amazing Chapel Hill wedding and event venue’s story.
Kara restored the barn’s interior to host up to 200 seated guests or 250 for a cocktail-style event. We’re talking vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, French doors, warm rustic light fixtures, and so much more. This barn is a photographer’s playground. Kara, her family, and her team thought of everything for this Chapel Hill venue.

Amanda Law Loves The Barn of Chapel Hill at Wild Flora Farm
Amanda’s favorite thing about The Barn of Chapel Hill at Wild Flora Farm is the seasonality of the space.
“No matter what time of year you plan to have your wedding, the barn is gorgeous,” Amanda shares. “When I was there in April, the peonies were in full bloom. A month later, a bunch of roses started their show. Even a month or two after that, all the summer wildflowers in the gardens lent their color to the space, then hydrangeas!”
