About The Hayfield At Murchison Farms Wedding Venue
9850 Pleasant Hill Church Rd, Liberty, North Carolina 27298
While Hayfield at Murchison Farms might be one of the newest venues around, this property goes way back through the generations. The original Murchison Farm started out over 150 years ago to keep dairy cows and sheep. Over the years, the farm was passed down through the family members who continued to use it to raise cows. Today, Robin Cockerham owns the farm with her sister, her brother-in-law, and her husband. When the family isn’t busy throwing some of the most lavish parties around, they are raising Black Angus beef cows. When you use this spot for your wedding day, you will have exceptional views of the rolling pastures to set the scene for your celebration!
Details of the Grounds
If you’ve always wanted the barn vibes for your wedding day but don’t want to be stuck with the lack of amenities you typically find with these spaces, Hayfield At Murchison Farms is about to become the wedding venue of your dreams! The morning of your celebration, the venue will show you to The Daisy House, a space Robin named after her great-grandmother, who originally owned the spot. It has been completely renovated to give you a comfortable area where you can get ready alongside your wedding party. Camp out at the salon-style vanities, sip some champagne on the velvet lounge furniture, and slip into your gown in the dressing room. The venue will even let you rent out the house throughout the weekend, giving you a convenient spot to crash either before or after your wedding.
Most couples who get married at Hayfield choose an outdoor wedding. The venue has two designated spots for this. If you are planning on hosting a larger wedding, you can opt for The Oak Lawn.
