Insider Tips for Weddings at Southerlyn Farms

• Embrace the Lowcountry Light: Schedule your main photo session around sunset to capture the stunning natural light filtering through the trees and across the fields.

• Customize the Barn: Use lighting (chandeliers, string lights) and drapery to soften the rustic elements in the main barn and tailor the space to your specific color palette and style.

• Local Accommodations: Assist guests with booking nearby accommodations in Holly Hill or finding group lodging options, as it's a destination outside the major city center.

How We’ve Transformed Southerlyn Farms Weddings

We once transformed the main barn into a sophisticated, moody reception space using rich burgundy linens, gold geometric accents, and dark, romantic florals.

Following the ceremony under the oaks, guests enjoyed a traditional Southern BBQ buffet followed by dancing, creating a perfect blend of high-end design and relaxed, heartfelt celebration.
