Awarded Best of Zola
This venue was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful views, lots of entertaining space, room for our closest friends and family and a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. The management was helpful and offered up amazing suggestions for food, photos and decor. We loved the interior of both homes but the main house was stunning enough to have photos taken inside too! We were pleasantly surprised by the clear views of the sound and the sweeping farm land! We only had our closest friends and family but I could see how this home could accommodate larger groups. We are planning a trip in the fall for a long weekend (Airbnb) because we enjoyed our time there so much.

  • 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!
