Two dedicated team members are on-site during the event to keep everything running smoothly, and the affordable flat-rate pricing, along with the freedom to choose your own vendors, helps couples stay within budget.

Location & Getting There

The Catlett Farm on the Cape Fear sits on the banks of the Cape Fear River at the edge of Fayetteville, in Cumberland County, conveniently close to Interstate 95. That location is a genuine advantage, since guests coming from Fayetteville, Fort Bragg, and the surrounding region have a short drive, and the I-95 access makes travel easy for guests coming from across the Carolinas, with Fayetteville Regional Airport and RDU to the north accessible for anyone flying in. Fayetteville and the nearby area offer hotels, restaurants, and amenities for out-of-town guests, so the wedding weekend is easy to plan around, and the central location keeps it convenient for military families connected to Fort Bragg. Yet the 35-acre riverfront setting, with its trees, pond, and river views, gives the property a peaceful, scenic, private feel once you arrive. That balance of a beautiful riverfront venue with genuine convenience to I-95 and Fayetteville is a big part of what draws couples to The Catlett Farm.
