Whispering Ridge clients are allowed to provide alcohol to be served to their guests free of charge. Cash bars are not allowed due to NC law.

Whispering Ridge Farms is not licensed to serve alcohol, so a NC ABC special event permit is required for each event that is including liquor or high ABV alcohol service. NC law prohibits guests bringing their own alcohol or liquor.

We recommend consulting with your licensed and insured bartender for their bartending service requirements.

*Our full alcohol policy is included in our venue rental agreement. We strictly follow NC ABC laws.

There are many differences between the two roles. Core differences are below:

Event Manager - Manages anything venue related & focuses on the safety of the guests and the venue.

Day-Of Coordinator - Manages all event details & anything in-between vendor roles. Their focus is primarily on the clients, guests, vendors, event timeline, and decor set-up/breakdown.
