Our Story


Established in 2022, The Farrell is a beautifully designed event space crafted by Architect Paul Bates and Interior Designer Melanie Pounds. Family-owned and operated, the venue is lovingly named after the owner’s father, with the brand mark drawn from his signature. With three generations of Farrells in the family, this space was created to carry his legacy forward.

Today, The Farrell serves as a gathering place where friends, families, and guests can celebrate life’s most treasured occasions.

We hope you feel a warm family welcome each time you walk through our doors.

Client Reviews

    A day that we will never forget. The venue was perfect! When I met Susan, she was pleasant and thorough with all details. The venue was extremely clean and the layout was exceptional. I loved the tall ceilings and grand windows! The patio area was great for pictures and intimate conversations. The Farrell is THE perfect wedding venue, especially if you are going for an intimate setting. Also, customer service was amazing. If I had any questions, she followed up immediately.

    If you are a bride looking for the best vendor experience, look no further than The Farrell. Susan was a dream to work with. I loved how we were not constrained or forced into picking specific other vendors in order to have our dream venue. This venue has thought of everything in order to make your day the most beautiful! We also decided to use their sister venue, Christopher Glenn, for the rehearsal dinner and it was perfect! Our wedding day was better than we could have ever imagined. I am so thankful for The Farrell and the experience Susan provided really made it so perfect.

  • Allison H.

    The Farrell was the perfect reception venue for our wedding! Susan was awesome to work with and so helpful. There was plenty of room for everything we wanted to have in the space, including a stage for the band and a photobooth, and all of our guests. The windows and doors outside made for the perfect backdrop for sunset photos. We had the best night and best wedding experience at The Farrell! I highly recommend them for any event!

  • Kady G.

    We could not recommend The Farrell enough! What a fabulous space in the heart of Homewood. The simple, yet modern decor serves its purpose as this space is already pretty without flowers, tables, etc, so all of those elements combined makes for a beautiful event. We also loved how The Farrell didn’t have many required vendors, so we were able to make the event exactly what we wanted and were even able to cut some costs this way. Susan is so easy to work with and is very accommodating. She is very thorough and made this part of the wedding planning process a breeze. Thanks, Susan!

  • Whitney H.

    The most perfect venue! We had our reception at the Farrell last January and it was stunning. The perfect size for our guests and used the back room with the mural as a getting ready room and it was amazing for pictures. So many other beautiful spots for photos as well. And location couldn’t be better!

  • James C.

    I had an excellent experience planning and organizing The Farrell for our UAB School of Medicine Holiday Event. Susan Zuber was especially helpful in providing a list of vendors and event planners to assist with the execution of the event. I will certainly be renting this venue again!

  • Nancy L.

    We were so excited to have our daughter’s wedding reception at this beautiful venue! Susan was a joy to work with and made everything so easy. She had wonderful suggestions and this is a favorite place among wedding vendors. Everyone loved the venue and had a great time. The out of town guests enjoyed staying at The Valley Hotel and Aloft and touring downtown Homewood the weekend of the wedding. They thought of everything when they designed this lovely space!

  • Katerria J.

    I recently had my wedding at The Farrell, and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with no vendor constraints, which made planning a breeze. Susan, in particular, was amazing! She made the whole process easy and was a major part of why I booked this venue. This was actually the first place I visited, and although I saw several others, I knew The Farrell was my place as soon as I walked in and met Susan. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident right from the start. I would recommend The Farrell to anyone looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service. It was everything I could have asked for and so much more
