The Historic Wakefield Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was outstanding - Brent was so helpful and responsive, making the entire experience stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a unique vintage and classy feel that exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to make our day special, providing a beautiful custom "Savannah" hanger when we booked the venue and even arranging for horses to be part of our celebration. When it rained right after our ceremony, we were so grateful for the indoor/outdoor capabilities - the team had a seamless rain plan that allowed us to enjoy the rest of the evening indoors. I highly recommend The Historic Wakefield Barn to any couple looking for a stunning, versatile wedding venue.

From the moment we booked our wedding at The Farm at 42, Rachel was proactive with communication and gave great input on our layout options for the ceremony and reception. The space is perfect with both indoor and outdoor spaces for the ceremony location. Even on a 40 degree winter day, our cocktail hour was on the patio and between the firepit and heaters, everyone was feeling cozy! Rachel went above and beyond to help make our day magical. It's an added bonus that tables, chairs, and linens are included in their wedding packages. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day at the Farm @ 42!

We recently had our wedding at the Farm on 95 and it was a beautiful venue. The staff was amazing and very professional and it was so simple to get set up and get the party started! Rachel was very kind and helpful leading up to the wedding and I loved that all the tables and chairs were set up and taken down for us so all we had to do was decorate. The staff was great, they helped keep everything running smoothly and were prepared with a rain plan and everything. I loved the location, it was easy for the guests to find and there is lots of parking, plus its close to a ton of hotels, the outlets, and both Selma and Smithfield downtown areas.

We absolutely LOVED our July wedding The Fairview in Raleigh! From the moment we toured the space, the environment was so open and welcoming. We had a good feeling about The Fairview from day 1 and I'm glad we trusted our hearts to lead us. We initially decided to book the Fairview as our reception location and booked a separate park venue for our wedding location. Since the Fairview's connected business Themeworks does item delivery, set up and break down, we got a contract with them to deliver chairs and other decor to our first location. Regardless of our plans, there was absolutely no pressure or predatory pricing tactics used throughout the process (unlike some of their competitors such as Wakefield Barn). Every rental price was fair and every decision we made was met with excitement! The day before our big day, a major storm hit and the Fairview was ready to accommodate! We ended up having both our wedding and reception at the Fairview and I'm genuinely grateful to all of the staff for making this last minute huge shift possible! The staff showed up earlier, helped flip the space, and provided a level of reassurance that will always be appreciated. While the whole staff was terrific (even the owner!), our coordinator Casey was absolutely amazing! From the moment we toured, she was ready and willing to talk details, brainstorm, and provide solutions to make our vision a reality! We were supported, encouraged and genuinely had such a great time talking and planning with Casey. As a project manager, it's no exaggeration to say that Casey and the Fairview staff were the best vendors I've ever worked with. Even down to adjusting my dress before I walked down the aisle, they were on top of EVERY single detail. The entire team at The Fairview consistently went above and beyond and made our special day absolutely perfect. If you’re considering venues in Raleigh, you have to go check out the Fairview and ThemeWorks. Bring your imagination and get ready to be surrounded with positivity and love! Congrats new couples!!

The morning after the wedding, we reserved their outside fire pit table for guests to gather before heading home, and they served fresh omelettes, eggs, and pastries with great service.

Having our wedding at Donovan Manor absolutely made our day what it was! I know people can be wary of venues requiring in house catering and bar, but let me sway you otherwise! First off, Donovan’s Dish was amazing and easy to work with. Ashley allowed me to amend my menu as many times as necessary in the early stages and Emma was so easy to communicate with. On wedding day, our food was not only amazing but the staff were excellent and efficient. Even down to the little details, like a staff member folding and placing napkins on guests chairs as they got up to get their food. All these little details helped our wedding feel elegant and personal. THE BAR! I cannot say enough good things about the bartenders at Donovan Manor. They were so kind, funny, and made great drinks. All of our guests complimented the staff. Ok onto the venue. It is so beautiful and truly a one of a kind venue. Many venues skimp on the grooms suite and this was a huge plus for me. Often I feel the groom gets forgotten about, so I loved to see how much effort was put into the suite. Even my now-husband commented on how nice it was to have such a large space. The bridal suite (really entire floor) is exceptional. I truly felt like a princess getting ready up there. The outdoor rose garden is stunning and the oak tree makes for wonderful photos. Having three bars is also a game changer, especially if you have a larger guest count. Everything was thought of while building the venue, even the bathrooms are gorgeous! All of guests have complimented the weekend saying how perfect it was and how amazing the venue is. Book Donovan Manor! You will have zero regrets.
