“I recently attended a wedding at the Lucas Farm and it was so cute! The couple got married in the gorgeous pecan orchard. Afterwards, the reception took place in the barn which was very spacious and picturesque. The owners were very kind and helped make sure the wedding went smoothly and available to answer any guest questions. I would highly recommend the Lucas Farm!”

We can make your event walk-in ready or you can set up yourself and we will simply assist during your event. Our packages are buildable and we pride ourselves in personalizing every celebration to fit your needs! Fun fact about us is that we began as a working farm originally but now only partially. We now hold weddings, corporate events, rodeos, concerts and even sell Christmas Trees at Thanksgiving! Everyone says the pictures doesn’t do it justice as soon as they walk in which is a huge compliment! It’s usually the other way around and photos are deceptive! We hope to meet you and be a part of one of the most important days of you and your loved ones life!

“My husband and I have the unique privilege of being the very first bride and groom at Tara Creek. Even at the very beginning, the Grahams responded quickly to every question and request, and truly listened to what we wanted for our day, giving us freedom to bring our vision to life. Since then, the venue has transformed—they've added a bridal suite, a groom's retreat, a stunning patio for social hour, and new ceremony spaces—but what makes us happiest is that the twinkly lights we hung to dance under as newlyweds are still there today, creating magic for couple after couple. Lee and Amanda's commitment to their couples goes beyond just providing a space; they work hard to meet every need and dream their couples bring. Six years later, I love to watch couple after couple commit their lives to one another with the special team at Tara Creek. We couldn't recommend them more highly!”

“Southern Charm somehow managed to be even more magnificent in person than in the photos! We rented the house for our wedding, with 43 guests staying with us (68 guests on the wedding day), and it exceeded every expectation. First, Fran, the owner, is an absolute doll—friendly, highly responsive, and incredibly accommodating from our first conversation. She even let us visit on an unrented day beforehand to take measurements! Next, the CLEANLINESS! I have extremely high standards (most hotels and Airbnbs don’t meet them), and I didn’t think twice here. The floors and surfaces were spotless, the linens and towels smelled and felt freshly washed, and there wasn’t a stray hair, dust bunny, or grain of sand to be found. Maintaining that standard in a house this massive is seriously impressive! The property is incredibly well-designed for large groups. Every bedroom has its own bathroom (!!) and plenty of storage, the huge kitchen was easily equipped to handle our group, and there was an abundance of indoor and outdoor seating. Everything felt fresh, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked. The ocean views from every deck are INSANE, and having private beach access directly from the pool deck was amazing (it's about an 8 minute walk from the deck to the ocean). One helpful logistical note: the house is at the far end of the island, about 25 minutes from the Holden Beach entrance, so plan grocery and alcohol runs accordingly. Overall, it was an incredible wedding venue. Keeping our guests, ceremony, and reception all in one place was so convenient, with plenty of space for each part of the day and our vendors. For couples looking for an intimate, highly customizable beach wedding venue, it’s a no-brainer. I cannot recommend Southern Charm enough!!”

“We got married at Slate & Cypress on October 18th, 2025, and would live in that day forever if it were possible. From the moment we visited S&C and met Andrew & Olga, it was clear that their venue was the right fit for us. The property is stunning, and any updates made during the process have only made it even more beautiful. They have created wonderful partnerships with their in-house services, which made the entire process much easier and lived up to every expectation. Not having to find a caterer or DJ for the event took a lot off our plate from the start. Working with Olga to plan the wedding itself was a wonderful experience, and she eased every concern that we had. As a bride who tends towards ‘Type A’ and gets paid to care about timelines and details, this was the most carefree I have ever been at an event. I didn’t even know what time it was the whole day because I knew Olga (& Andrew) had everything under control. If it is not clear by now, we would recommend Slate & Cypress a thousand times over.”
