Tara Creek 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Faison, NC
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Select services

  • 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!”

Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Selma, NC
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,000

The Farm at 95 offically opened it's doors in October of 2013 and to this day is one of the two largest venues in Johnston County (oh, our sister location is the other larges venue)! Our space can accommodate anywhere from 80 to 400 guests, with separate rooms for food, dedicated dressing rooms, a well equipped stage and a relaxing patio heaters, fans and a gas fire pit. When you inquire, you will also receive information about our sister location, The Farm at 42, which we opened in March of 2018. This venue is similar to The Farm at 95, but has simple improvements such as larger dressing suites, upgraded finishes and a completely different ceremony setting. We hope that between one of our locations, we are able to work together to plan your pefect day!

“The Farm at 95 was probably one of our favorite vendors at our wedding. Not only is the location beautiful but Rachel, the General Manager, went above and beyond for us. Our experience working with her was so easy and stress free. She was very helpful during our wedding and even caught a detail I missed and helped us fix it in the moment. Again the venue is beautiful but there also is so many great features you can utilize as well. The dressing rooms with the private bathrooms were perfect for us getting ready (1 bride, 5 maid of honors, 2 mothers and the makeup artist and hair stylist). I also loved how we had so much flexibility you have for where you do the ceremony. You have the option of the outdoor gazebo for your ceremony (which we ended up using) but you also could have your ceremony inside. Our reception was all done in the banquet hall/outdoor patio. We had a live band and the setup was perfect as there is a nice stage in the banquet hall. We had about 200 people and there was more than enough space. I also will mention the parking lot is more than big enough (parking is something I find very important). Overall we loved working with Rachel and truly had an unforgettable night. She did as much as she could to ensure we had a wonderful time. I don't know where else you could find such wonderful venue that is beautiful with a lot of great features and with someone who cares as much as Rachel!”

“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!”

“Donovan Manor was a dream venue, and we would absolutely recommend getting married here!! The pictures don’t even do it justice. From the first tour, they were so kind and accommodating! The venue itself is so well thought out. It is not only beautiful from the inside out, but the attention to detail and the layout are truly beyond words. The brides suite is spacious, fun, and allows for much more than just getting ready; ie relaxing, dancing, eating and so many photo ops! The guys loved the groom suite! The rose garden is nothing less than stunning! The guests raved about it. Even if we had to do our rain plan, we were excited, because the ballroom is just as breathtaking. We got so many compliments on the beautiful reception (and the chandeliers!!). On top of the venues beauty, the team and owner are so helpful, responsive, and sweet. I felt like they really wanted me to live out my vision, helped answer questions, and made the day go by seamlessly! Even with a million requests from my family and the stress of a possible hurricane coming in- their team was incredible. I can’t thank them enough for truly giving me my dream wedding!”
