Tara Creek 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Faison, NC
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Tara Creek has many different areas for your ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and even rehearsal dinner. We have enough spots (indoor, outdoor, and partial) for everything to be in a different location if desired! 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!”

“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 got married at the Farm at 42 in May and I could not have asked for anything more. They worked with myself and my vendors flawlessly to create the most special day. Not to mention how beautiful the venue is. Their venue made my wedding look right out of a Pinterest board with minimal decor required which was a plus for me and my budget. The venue truly speaks for itself and Rachel is awesome!”
