Awarded Best of Zola
There is a reason that The Finch House is one of our preferred venues and why we have a specially discounted package for couples planning events there. Sure, the venue is beautiful, the food is always amazing (and of course the load-in is much easier than some). But the main reason every one of our staff loves performing there is their people. Andrew and his folks not only go above and beyond to make sure that every detail of the event lives up to and exceeds the couple's expectations, but also helps to create a real team atmosphere with the other vendors involved so that no one loses sight of the true objective: To give each couple an experience they can remember and treasure for a lifetime.

The Hive is a beautiful event center located in Staley, NC. We are situated on 200 acres of rolling farm land in Randolph county NC. Our facility began life as the clubhouse for Ferguson Farms Golf Course. When the golf course closed in 2012, it sat abandoned until our family came across the land. We came across this gem while we were searching for a larger property to expand our farm. It had been neglected for so many years, but we immediately saw great potential in its natural beauty, barns, and clubhouse. The streams, ponds, and woodlands teamed with wildlife and we just knew this farm had to been revived into something new, a place where joy, laughter and unity would be experienced.
