As the saying goes, you never have a second chance to make a first impression. Legacy Stables & Events ABSOLUTELY NAILED the FIRST IMPRESSION and every opportunity thereafter. No detail is left untouched. From the very first email less than 24 hours after our first inquiry, to the most hospitable tour with complimentary refreshments and the most delightful tour guide, to the planning, the attention to detail with our contract and every request, all the stunning rentals, and execution of our wedding day, EVERY SINGLE MOMENT WAS PERFECT. The level of service and the focus on client and guest satisfaction is like no other. No other venue in the Triad, and we visited them all, no one had the ambiance and the experience like we had at Legacy. The catering was PHENOMENAL, the food was delicious and the catering team was on point. It was the wedding of our dreams, and so much more. We were even honored to meet the owner, and he went above and beyond to ensure we felt like family. It's evident, the staff takes their lead from him. We were so blessed to have this venue host our special day. Legacy has such a big place in our hearts, we want to revisit every year on our anniversary, just to feel the magic again and again. I have chills just thinking back on our day, so perfect, so dreamy, and so beautiful. Thank you Legacy Stables & Events for everything.

So glad we chose The Farm at West Prong Acres to be our wedding venue! It is absolutely beautiful, and Amy is amazing to work with. We didn’t have a wedding planner/coordinator and she stepped in and helped wherever she could. The venue had plenty of space to host our 100ish guest wedding and the airbnb was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in. We were able to be creative and have the wedding of our dreams, I wish I could add all of the photos but Zola won’t let me. It was absolutely beautiful and I’m so thankful I used this amazing venue for my wedding day!

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. The feeling of pure joy and satisfaction was indescribable. The venue was beautiful, and our taco truck was a huge hit with our guests. We received countless compliments on both.

I hosted my business’s 10-year anniversary customer appreciation party at Creekside Farm, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue. Megan has truly created something special in Bostic. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail—from the beautifully maintained landscaping to the thoughtfully curated indoor and outdoor spaces—had been designed with care and intention. The barn itself is stunning, with both climate-controlled comfort and expansive outdoor areas that make the most of North Carolina’s natural beauty. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or celebration of any kind, Creekside Farm is the ideal setting. Our event was a smashing success, and much of that is thanks to Megan’s expertise. She is a true professional—detail-oriented, prompt, and incredibly organized. Every aspect of the venue was taken care of seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on our guests and the celebration. We also chose to hire some of Megan’s event staff, and it was absolutely worth it. Having an experienced, capable team ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Megan wears many hats, and somehow she manages to excel in all of them. She is not just a venue owner—she is a dedicated partner in making events truly memorable. Her upbeat energy, professionalism, and passion for ensuring our event’s success made working with her an absolute pleasure. If you’re looking for a venue that is both breathtaking and run by someone who genuinely cares about your experience, look no further than Creekside Farm. It’s a hidden gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

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!

The English Country Barn of the Carolinas had certainly looked beautiful online, but we immediately found that it was even more incredible in person. During our initial tour with Ian, we became completely enamored by the venue, amazed by the ceremony spaces, the reception and cocktail hour areas, the dressing rooms, and even the abundance of restrooms. We walked down the aisle in The Enchanted Wood and realized it was everything we had been hoping for. Meeting with Teresa, we gained advice, resources, and answers. During the planning process, we visited the venue 4 times and sent countless emails with consistently quick responses. I was surprised, relieved, and grateful that so many items were available for use with no extra charge (decor, signs, tablecloths, speakers, etc). Having venue access for the weekend was a game-changer for us as well, allowing us to set up all day on Friday, rehearse Friday evening, enjoy our Saturday wedding, and pack up to leave Sunday morning without stress or hassle. We even ordered some of Teresa’s homemade macarons and tiramisu shots for our wedding day, and they were absolutely delightful. It was ideal to work with the couple that owns the venue, and it was clear that Ian and Teresa are determined to constantly improve their venue for the benefit of their clients. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and we cannot thank them enough for doing everything they could to make it that way. The English Country Barn is gorgeous, and the owners are superb. Don’t wait to schedule your tour or book your wedding because the ECB is a gem, and you will not want to miss out on your dream wedding.

Belle's Venue and Farms was THE perfect venue choice for our wedding. From the very beginning, Brittany was so helpful and supportive as she guided us through the planning process. Viewing the venue, asking questions, signing contracts and making payments was always a breeze! Brittany truly has a gift. Every time I visited the venue, she had her iPad ready to take detailed notes which she would share with me- (even if I changed my mind a couple times hehe...) She was so attentive to any questions I had and I could tell she really cares about making a couples wedding day visions come to life. Belle's is truly a budget friendly, all-in-one venue without sacrificing quality. There are a few ceremony options, including inside, to fit any couples preference. All of the available decor were all great quality and went so well with the aesthetic of the venue. The venue and property are STUNNING- (I wasn't going to add photos here because the website speaks for itself!!) Gorgeous farm tables and chairs, aesthetic lightning inside and out and you can't beat the location. It's truly a small-town farm oasis with endless spots for photos! We are so beyond grateful to Brittany and her team at Belle's Venue and Farms for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend enough! Please at least book a tour here! You won't be disappointed!

Scott with Big R Orchards is phenomenal! He is a joy to work with - professional, positive energy, incredibly kind and gets the job done! He was very responsive and answered all of my many questions throughout the planning process. He also gladly accommodated a few last minute set up changes. Scott was extremely helpful during the ceremony, carting us across the property to get to our spots for ceremony and golden hour. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained. We had a fall wedding and the trees were just gorgeous! The tables, chairs and decore that he provided were exactly as described. The venue structure is awesome and the recent upgrades really elevated the space. Scott’s space is already so beautiful that you really don’t need much in terms of decore. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding venue with natural beauty that won’t break the bank, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, owner or crew to work with!
