Gorgeous Wedding Venues in Raleigh, NC

Hurray, you're engaged! You've told your family and friends, you've taken photos, you've posted the news on social media. Now what? It's time to pick a date and look at wedding venues! We've created a list of some of our favorite local wedding venues in Raleigh, NC and the surrounding area to assist you in your search:

Market Hall & The Grove at City Market

If you've ever walked around Downtown Raleigh and stumbled upon cobblestone streets in the middle of the city, you've found City Market - Raleigh's hidden gem. Not only is it home to our Raleigh bridal boutique, it is also home to two wedding venues!

Market Hall is a full-service historic wedding venue nestled in the heart of downtown Raleigh. The venue is surrounded by quaint cobblestone streets and the romantic lights of City Market in the evening. Market Hall has exposed brick walls and an industrial ceiling with two private dressing suites for the couple and their wedding parties. This venue is perfect for larger weddings as it can host up to a 350-person seated reception (not to mention the food is to die for!)

The Grove at City Market is owned by the owner of Market Hall and opened as the perfect venue to host small and micro weddings that have become popular in recent years. This venue can hold up to 100 guests for an indoor seated reception. It also has a stunning 3400 sq. foot patio for cocktail hour, an outdoor ceremony, or reception. And, if you were wondering, it has the same great catering from Market Hall!

If you're looking for a Raleigh wedding venue with an industrial, urban vibe, you can't go wrong with either of these gorgeous spots!

The Distillery

The Distillery is just a stone's throw away from Raleigh, located in Garner, NC and is one of our favorite "blank slate" wedding venues. It is open, airy, and perfect for customizing each and every detail of your wedding. "The White Room" is a 7500 square foot space with endless possibilities. It has clean white walls, unbelievably high ceilings, soft woods, and gold accents. The Distillery can be turned into anyone's dream wedding venue!

Heights House

Heights House is another wedding venue in Raleigh perfect for intimate weddings. With the ability to comfortably host a 50-80 person wedding, you can rent out all nine luxury rooms in the house for the entire weekend. This allows you to customize not only the typical details like flowers and linens, but also the schedule of your wedding. If you want to get married at sunrise, you can! Feel like doing a yoga session before you start getting ready? No problem! Heights House can make it happen.

The Merrimon-Wynne House

The Merrimon-Wynne House was once a historic home in Downtown Raleigh and is now one of Raleigh's most popular wedding venues. It has the ability to host indoor or outdoor ceremonies, cocktail hours, or receptions. The house has the perfect natural lighting for getting ready and taking photos. Completed with the cutest wrap-around porch, Merrimon-Wynne is the perfect Southern mansion venue for your special day.

Oxbow Estate

Oxbow Estate is the Raleigh area's newest (and most unbelievable) wedding venue. Hidden behind acres of trees in Clayton, NC, what was once a private estate to the owner of Smithfield's Chicken and Barbecue is now a luxurious private wedding venue that can host up to 700 people! There are four bedrooms in the main house (including a bridal suite), a separate Groom's quarters, and a small and romantic honeymoon house with a balcony the overlooks the Neuse River. At Oxbow Estate, you'll feel like you and your guests are in your own private world!
