Spend a day at Legacy Stables & Events in Winston-Salem, and you’ll catch a glimpse of what 10 years of celebrating unforgettable occasions looks like – timeless, elegant and altogether authentic.
Once the premier award-winning equestrian center in the southeast, today, this picturesque family estate plays host to events of all sizes and styles – from romantic wedding celebrations to corporate and nonprofit gatherings. Bringing people together here – in the finest Legacy style – has become a treasured Winston-Salem tradition.
Owner Robert Weisner purchased Legacy Stables in 2014 so his granddaughters could happily pursue their passion of riding and competing with American Saddlebred show horses. As you might expect, taking center stage as a popular events destination has been a natural progression – looking back on the days when this state-of-the-art complex played host to nationally recognized instructors and trainers.
No matter the size of your guest list, Legacy Stables & Events has options. From hosting parties as small as six guests to events of more than 800 people, every occasion is perfectly staged, as their spaces range from rustic and romantic to bright and thoroughly modern. For the most picture-perfect garden setting, there’s simply nothing better.
With immaculate landscaping and endless elegant details, the property has become a magical destination for engaged couples in search of an idyllic wedding backdrop and the perfect serene atmosphere for a corporate celebration. Legacy Stables & Events began hosting weddings and other special occasions in The Grace Barn and The Legacy House in 2018.
The Grace Barn – 12,000 square feet of indoor climate-controlled space – will enchant you with its quaint, romantic décor. This space combines beautifully with The Legacy House’s 5,000-square-foot terrace for clients seeking an indoor/outdoor experience. The Creekside Terrace boasts a serene waterfall backdrop ideal for ceremonies, priceless photo moments and team building activities.
The Forsyth Barn was remodeled in 2021 to include 22,000 square feet of climate controlled and technologically advanced indoor event space. Inside, the Grand Ballroom and the Carolina Room can accommodate many different types of events, from wedding ceremonies and receptions to corporate dinners and training sessions. The Forsyth Barn is equipped to seat up to 1,000 guests, with more intimate spaces available to fit any guest count.
The Grace Barn and The Forsyth Barn each have their own pair of dream-worthy additions for your wedding – The Bridal Suite and The Groom’s Cabins – are an exceptional part of the Legacy Stables bridal experience. In the Bridal Suite, floor-length mirrors lined with LED lights, velvet furniture and crystal chandeliers complete the totally relaxing ambiance for pre-wedding photos of the bride and her best friends.
The Groom’s Cabins include two flat-screen TVs, pool tables, private dressing rooms and front porches with plenty of patio seating, where convenience meets sophistication. The bridal suites and groom’s cabins can also be utilized as “green rooms” for keynote speakers or special guests.
If you’re a corporate event planner, ask how our venue spaces can be designed to accommodate speakers, meals or team-building training sessions – no matter the size of your group. Plus, the staff can arrange for hotel recommendations and transportation, and also source audiovisual needs, a DJ or band, photo booth, games and more.
“Legacy Stables & Events offers unmatched versatility across its 30-acre estate, making it the ideal setting for gatherings of all sizes and styles,” shares Margaret Poovey, vice president of operations. “Whether you’re planning a quiet leadership retreat, an elegant garden party or a large-scale celebration for more than 800 guests, the property’s four distinct venues provide both indoor and outdoor options that can be tailored to your vision.”
