About this vendor
Cates Farm at Cane Creek is a peaceful wedding venue located in Hillsborough, NC. Owners John and Jennifer Cates have worked hard to make their property an inviting space where couples can celebrate their love. John, a realtor and builder, lovingly restored the barn, which was first built by his grandparents in the 1940s. Nestled in the rolling hills, this venue offers a romantic and tranquil backdrop for your milestone event. It's conveniently located about 15 minutes from Hillsborough, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Mebane. Raleigh, meanwhile, takes less than an hour to reach.
At Cates Farm at Cane Creek, you can host both ceremony and reception in the charming red dairy barn. Outside, the wide-open spaces are dotted with wheat, corn, soybeans, and wildflowers, adding pops of color to the countryside. The barn features an adjoining pavilion and cabin, so you can spend some of your day in the fresh air. The venue can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests and has a selection of ceremony sites for you to choose from. The couple and their party can start the day in the barn's cozy cabin, which offers a private space to get ready for the day. The cabin houses a gathering room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.
Cates Farm at Cane Creek can be hired for an entire weekend, giving you lots of time to spend with loved ones.

Book this place now!! We loved working with Cates Farm for our wedding! This couple is out to make dreams come true! Not only is this venue a great price for holding your ceremony and reception, but you get the venue for the weekend! You do not have to worry about anything going missing or being broken from a wedding happening the day before. You also have time and flexibility when it comes to doing DIY decorations and holding a rehearsal! John and Jennifer were so kind, helpful, and flexible! They worked with us to ensure we had everything we needed and wanted! They even supported us the day of by setting up tables, helping with decorations, starting the fire pit, and ensuring we were all set. (They also have a ton of decorations available for you to use!) I am so thankful we found this venue! The farm and surroundings are beautiful and private. There is plenty of parking and guests that were Ubering did not have trouble getting a car. The cell reception can be a little spotty so we recommended that our guests schedule a ride if Ubering. When having an event here John and Jennifer make you feel like family and truly prioritize that you have an incredible wedding!
Cates Farm at Cane Creek is simply the best!! The property is absolutely stunning and the customer service provided by John was above and beyond all our expectations!! Every detail was attended to which made our daughter's wedding so very special! I highly recommend Cates Farm at Cane Creek !!
Cates Farm was absolutely amazing! John and Jennifer were so kind and helpful during the entire planning process! Our wedding day weather was a bit uncertain and turned out to be ridiculously cold and WINDY! So we had to change plans pretty quickly! John and Jennifer made it happen and the whole day was perfect!
Cates Farm is not only a stunningly beautiful venue, but one with a number of options to suit your wedding wishes. You can have your ceremony outside facing the barn, outside under the arbor, outside under the covered patio, or inside of the barn! And John and Jennifer, the owners, are incredible to work with and answer all of your questions.
A truly beautiful setting with multiple lovely locations on the property for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception allowing for a great flow throughout the evening. Additionally, John and Jennifer were extremely personable and helpful throughout the planning process and even helped during the event to make sure everything went smoothly! It was so special to have our wedding here and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone.
