Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Elegant Greek revival architecture, expertly manicured landscaping, and dense wooded surroundings create a timeless feel at this sophisticated estate. Set back off the main road, it offers serenity and privacy, but is easily accessed from the Raleigh/Durham metro area.
- The expansive lawns and tranquil ponds offer a wide range of pretty ceremony and photo vistas (we’re more than a bit smitten with the dome-topped gazebo), and the sprawling grounds allow you the option to host a tented celebration, or open-air dinner and dancing on romantic circular terrace.
- Up to forty guests can be accommodated between the main house and carriage house, which boast a combined fourteen bedrooms, as well as beautiful kitchens and gathering areas. The pool, spa, and world-class athletic facility will be available for use throughout your stay.
