Our Story

Rex Allen Theater is located in the beautiful countryside of Hickory, North Carolina. The property has been family owned for over 200 years and is one of the oldest farms in western North Carolina. What began as Lail Farm transitioned into a stunning wedding venue, and has been in operation since 2012.

With over 60 acres of land and five locations to choose from, Rex Allen Theater can easily accommodate to a variety of wedding sizes and styles. However, the property is not exclusive to weddings! We also host many parties and reunions.
