Want something completely different for your wedding?
The Carrigan Farms Rock Quarry is about as different as you can get in the Charlotte area. Located in Mooresville, NC it is a venue tucked away behind the Carrigan Farms peach orchard.
Bridal Prep is done in a small wood cabin that is dripping with character. There isn’t a alot of room in there, maybe for 4 people, but the old worn wood and antique stove make great photo opportunities. Surrounding the cabin are many outdoor possibilities for photos including a wheat field and small natural pond.
The wedding ceremony takes place on the edge of the water filled rock quarry. It is the only actually blue lake you will find in the area, as the bottom is stone and not red clay. The ceremony area is large enough for small to medium weddings. Your guests will view your ceremomy with an amazing backdrop of stone and water.
The wedding reception area takes place under a large wooden covering and additional tables set to the side of it underneath a large tree. There is ample room for a live band or DJ under the covering, with a concrete floor for dancing. After dark, there is not much light offered. Brides would be well advised to plan for this. I recommend hanging paper lanterns on the shelter and even the trees.
All in all if you are an earthy couple looking to enjoy your wedding day with mother nature, you can’t go wrong here.

They have porta pottys on site. No real bathroom. The owner I think is asking an awful lot for the place and realy doesnt work with you on the price. He will try to sell you the world just to rent a piece of his land. I asked him if I could sample his catering. His reply is if I work for it serving drinks to others at one of the receptions!Un-believable. I dont think I’m going to have him do the catering. Or should I sa barbecue. Good Luck
