About

Aurora Farms is an elegant and unique post and beam wedding venue situated in Taylors, South Carolina, a short drive north of the city of Greenville.

Exceptional Quality

Mother of the Bride Review:

Aurora Farms is an absolutely charming and beautiful venue! Everything was set up perfectly! The decor, the food, the timing and everything ran so smoothly. We even had a bunch of unexpected guests show up, and the staff handled it with such grace, quickly adding tables, chairs, and linens without missing a beat.

As a mom who just wanted everything to go off without a hitch, I couldn’t have been more pleased. One of the best parts was the on-site house available to rent. It was ideal for our big family traveling in from Oklahoma and California...spacious, comfortable, and just as lovely as the venue itself.

Aurora Farms is truly a hidden gem. If you're planning an event, this is a must-see location!

A better experience than we possibly could have asked for. The staff was above and beyond at all times, and we were incredibly impressed with how they handled vendors, guests, and all of our little requests. Will for sure recommend to others.

Thank you!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Yvonne, Ashleigh, and the team at aurora farms. We used them for our wedding and rehearsal and could not be happier. From the planning process with Ashleigh all the way through the wedding day/night everything went smoothly AND the venue is absolutely gorgeous. Our guests have told us how amazing the venue was so many times and our pictures turned out beautiful because there isn’t a single bad angle or corner in the place. In addition to that, their inventory of wedding items is extensive and saved us so much money on decor because we were able to use a lot of their items. Thank you Ashleigh for keeping the wedding and reception on track - my husband and I were too busy trying to talk with guests and have fun and we didn’t miss a single thing because Ashleigh made sure it happened and had coordinated with all of our vendors prior to our wedding day. Cannot recommend this venue enough for any type of event!

Feels like Family

Yvonne and the rest of the crew at Aurora Farms are amazing! The venue is absolutely beautiful! When I met Yvonne, I felt like I had known her my whole life. She is so kind and was so flexible to help us navigate planning, and replanning our wedding due to Covid. Our wedding was so beautiful here!

Rustic, Yet SO Elegant

We can not say enough about Aurora Farms & the family that owns this venue! It is a stunningly beautiful space and was top on our list. We loved being able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner reception, and dancing all in this one location. The elegant chandeliers and rustic feel made for absolutely stunning photos. Thank you, Yvonne, for opening your space to us!!

Hands down the best venue in Greenville!

Picking a wedding venue determines the feel for the entire day, and I could not have asked for anything more perfect than Aurora Farms! Yvonne was incredible to work with, and you can tell she is so genuinely ecstatic for every couple that comes through the those white doors! The entire bridal party got ready there the morning of the wedding, and then we came back for the reception. Yvonne generously let us set up the day beforehand, so the entire morning of the wedding was so stress-free! She also has many decorations and signage that is available to use if you do not want to bring your own. She worked tirelessly to bring my vision to life, and I could not recommend her highly enough!
