About this venue

Nestled on 70 peaceful acres, Wayside at Cottom Farm is a family-owned event venue rooted in tradition and Southern charm. Established in the 1900s, our farm has been a place of gathering and growth for generations. In 2010, we opened our doors as a wedding and event venue to share the beauty of our land with others on their most special days. With a commitment to creating meaningful and memorable experiences, Wayside offers a timeless setting for weddings, celebrations, and gatherings of all kinds.
