Event Venue in Raeford NC: Celebrate at Shahbain Event Center
At Shahbain Farms & Event Center, we understand the importance of privacy and cultural traditions, especially for our clients hosting Muslim weddings and religious celebrations. Many prefer to maintain separate spaces for men and women during their events, and our venue is designed to accommodate this need while ensuring elegance and comfort for all types of events, including corporate events and private parties.
Venue Features for Privacy
Four Ballrooms with Soundproof, Foldable Walls
Each ballroom is fully separated with folding, soundproof walls, ensuring that men’s and women’s gatherings remain private. Every ballroom has its own front and back entrance, allowing guests to enter and exit discreetly, making it an ideal wedding venue.
Dedicated Bridal Suite
We recommend booking Ballroom 1 for women, as it includes a private bridal suite for preparation and comfort throughout the event.
Flexible Layouts for Men’s Gathering
For men’s events, we suggest booking Ballrooms 3 and 4, which also include access to our Middle Eastern lounge for a traditional and welcoming space, perfect for both weddings and corporate events.
Divider Screens for Extra Privacy
We provide 6 professional privacy dividers (DURASPACE 8-panel room dividers, 6 ft tall) that can be positioned as needed within the ballrooms, adding another layer of separation and comfort for all gatherings.
Optional Empty Ballroom Buffer
For maximum peace of mind, we recommend leaving Ballroom 2 empty as a buffer between men’s and women’s gatherings, enhancing privacy for your special events.
Small Building
Our Small Building serves as a cozy and versatile event center, perfect for intimate gatherings, corporate events, and private parties. It includes two rooms: Room #5 and Room #6. Room #5 features 12 tables with 8 chairs each, two bathrooms, a dressing room, and an open area ideal for a dance floor or flexible event setup. Room #6 beautifully accommodates up to 135 guests as a wedding venue or ceremony space and also includes two bathrooms.

For corporate events and private parties with under 100 guests, you have two perfect options at our event center: Reserve Rooms #5 (Occupancy: 96) and #6 (Occupancy: 130) in the Small Building, using one for the ceremony and the other for the reception.
