About Us

We are Kevin and Gayle, owners of The Ivory Barn.
Kevin and I have been married for 25 years and have two adult children that we raised right here in Huntersville. When our youngest graduated high school and was leaving for college, we started to dream about what our next chapter would look like. After hosting many parties at the property we live on, we were often told, "You guys could host weddings back here." My thought was always, that would be a dream. There is something about creating a setting, so that people can gather together to make memories, that hits me in the heart. Kevin, never shying away from hard work, was on board. So we decided to explore the idea. On the weekends, we would go to Starbucks with our notebook and an iPad to brainstorm about what an event venue would look like for us. A couple months later we were looking for land and a few months after that we had our property under contract. Here we are, a few years later, standing in the event space we have envisioned, a place our community will be proud of. We look forward to spending the next chapter of our lives seeing people here dancing and singing, hugging and laughing, and we can't wait!
