We had an exceptional experience with this venue for our wedding. It is an absolutely beautiful on its own, not needing a lot of extra decor. We really appreciated not needing a lot of extra rentals beyond linens and the catering from Mulino was great! So many guests raved about the Mac and cheese.

Robert and the entire team are amazing to work with! As an event planner, I've had the opportunity to work with C3 on numerous occasions. The team is always extremely professional and helpful. The food and drinks are always wonderful and my clients are constantly blown away! From large 600+ guest events to more intimate occasions, the team has always gone above and beyond. I will always recommend C3 when given the chance!

From consultation to the wedding, The Maxwell was everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding. The staff's communication was always clear and timely. Questions were quickly answered and the information they give you upon booking is really everything you need-it's well laid out. Day of couldn't have gone better! The staff there in the morning and during the wedding were fantastic. The bartenders were truly great and our guests loved them so much. They were quick with making drinks and great with conversation. The Bridal Suite is beyond beautiful! A private bathroom stocked with anything you may need!

As planners, we absolutely love working at Raleigh Union Station! The space is stunning and unique, perfect for all events, big or small. The natural beauty of the space means little is needed for decor and the natural light from the tall windows is magical! The team is easy to work with, responsive, and truly cares about each couple.

The Historic Wakefield Barn is truly breath taking from the moment you step foot on the property. It can handle large weddings or small intimate gatherings and I can't decide if I love the outdoors with beautiful views and horses, or the inside barn which ISN'T your typical barn. It's expansive, all white and offers natural light from the windows up top all while wowing your guests. The cocktail area is perfect, bridal suite is great, and it really has everything you need for a luxurious wedding day right in the heart of Raleigh, North Carolina!
