We recently stayed at Willow Lodge for our wedding, and it was truly an unforgettable experience . From the very beginning, Siuzanna was so kind and helpful with our reservations, making it easy for us to book 20 rooms for our guests. The manager Linda was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of. Because we reserved a large block of guest rooms, she gave us excellent discounted rates not only for the accommodations but also for the Courtyard and the Club Room. The value was truly unbeatable compared to standard pricing, and it made hosting our wedding celebration with live music and catering even more special. During our stay, the team even assisted with handling out our welcome gifts to arriving guests, which was such a thoughtful touch. The property has wonderful amenities- large refrigerator, and a bar in the Courtyard- which made it easy for us to host catering and celebrate with family and friends. The housekeeping staff were attentive and professional, and we appreciated seeing hotels updates to the rooms- everything felt fresh and welcoming. Willow Lodge helped make our wedding weekend not only smooth and well-organized, but also truly joyful. We are so grateful for the hospitality and highly recommend this venue to everyone.

Anything we needed, we asked them first, and they were happy to share with us: drink dispensers, an easel, even jumper cables for when our car wouldn’t start. They communicated everything clearly and were very friendly to us. The venue is wonderful, clean, and organized. It felt like a Christmas fairytale and we’re so thankful for them!

Selma, NC
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Raw space

  • 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!

  • Dressing room available

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Does not allow pets

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!

The Catlett Farm was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. The rustic charm of the barn, coupled with its simple elegance, created a stunning backdrop that required minimal decoration. The decor closet was a lifesaver, saving us both time and money. The open houses were incredibly helpful in our planning process. The entire Catlett Farm team was exceptional. Their communication was top-notch, the planning spreadsheet was a valuable tool, and their staff was fantastic to work with. Their professionalism and helpfulness made our entire wedding experience truly unforgettable. Our favorite moment was our private dance at the end of the night.
