Meet Our Team

Woodside Farm

Meet the Owners

Sandi and Rob are a husband-and-wife team who turned their lifelong love of nature, family, and the outdoors into something extraordinary: Woodside Farm, a 50-acre countryside wedding and event venue in Graham, North Carolina. After long careers in nursing, they transformed their land near the Haw River into a breathtaking retreat where couples can celebrate surrounded by rolling fields, oak trees, and Southern charm.


Their vision was simple: create a place where guests feel at home, connected to nature, and free to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. Whether hosting a rustic barn wedding, outdoor ceremony, or private corporate event, Sandi and Rob welcome every guest like family, sharing the peace, beauty, and warmth that make Woodside Farm unforgettable.
