From the reviews
Special and private events. Party’s, weddings, open public events. Swimming an more. Was so surprised it wasn’t a place to eat. They rent this out for family reunions, church events, party’s, weddings. It’s the perfect place. So beautiful. They have public events also. It is on 17 south turn right by the barn.
Excellent Venue for weddings birthdays and celebrations. They have swimming camping bon fires. Inside they have a full dance floor and a restaurant quality dinning area. The best hidden gem in our area. The owners are awesome and a whole lot of fun.
What a great venue! We came out for the Annual NC Rick Autism Music Festival and everyone here has been so kind and helpful. They have weddings here and other functions, and the grounds are well-kept. The food is also delicious!!
Was able to experience this great place for a 50th wedding anniversary and hands down the best place to have an event of any kind! This place was so clean, fully furnished indoor and outdoors and amazingly beautiful inside and out. I highly suggest this place, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Marty and Sheryl!
Getting married at Crawfish Shack / Hidden Gem
Crawfish Shack / Hidden Gem comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Crawfish Shack / Hidden Gem
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Crawfish Shack / Hidden Gem — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
