I worked with The Barn at Broadslab for a recent April wedding, and I was very impressed with my experience! Shelly was very knowledgeable and hands-on with the entire process, and she was able to give great feedback about what would work well and what we might want to change. On the event day, Shelly herself was present to help make sure things ran smoothly, and her staff was friendly and accommodating. The Carolina Event Masters team would love to work another wedding at this beautiful venue!

I truly have nothing but wonderful things to say about this venue, the staff, the accommodations, and their professionalism and attention throughout the whole year long engagement! Rachel, the manager, is extremely attentive, communicative, professional, kind, and helpful! Anytime I had a question throughout the year, she was very quick to answer thoroughly. She is very flexible with coordinating meetings and walk-through with vendors at the venue and thorough in explaining all the venue has to offer for wedding day (which is a lot!) On the wedding day, having a staff member present at all times is so helpful and comforting. And including the provision and set-up of tables and chairs is HUGE! This eliminated so much stress. The bar staff was also very friendly and accommodating on wedding day with meeting my requests for set-up. And of course, the photo ops at this venue are truly endless and the beautiful options for ceremony and reception set-up are amazing. The big space is exactly what we needed for our big wedding and we never felt crowded. The dance floor was the perfect size for our all night party! I truly couldn’t be happier with my decision to get married at this venue for all the reasons listed above.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rachel and The Farm go hand in hand. From the moment we chose The Farm as our wedding venue, we knew we were in good hands with Rachel. She knows this place like the back of her hand. She has top notch communication, coordination, and personality. From months out to the wedding weekend, Rachel had such thorough plans and high expectations that led to a picture perfect day for us. As a Type A planner, I find it hard to trust others with my visions and plans. Rachel executed a flawless weekend for us, and I would work with her and The Farm a million times more if I could.
