Scarborough House Weekend Wedding Venue

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Stantonsburg, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 225 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $10,500

Most couples spend $23,000+ stitching together a wedding across three different vendors, two different locations, and four frantic days of logistics. Then it's over in four hours. Scarborough House is a different decision. This is a private historic estate built in 1821 — 13 bedrooms, sleeps 26+, capacity for 225 guests. When you book Scarborough House, you get the whole property Friday through* Sunday. Your people wake up here. They eat breakfast here. The rehearsal dinner happens here. The ceremony happens here. The afterparty happens here. You don't rent a venue. You take over an estate. The full weekend experience is $10,500. Compare that to the average North Carolina wedding at $23,000+ — before the venue even starts — and the math gets obvious fast. One price. One property. One weekend you'll never forget. (NOT ALL INCLUSIVE) also NOT vendor exclusive Memories end once people leave. Make memories, Cherish them. Dates are limited and we don't hold them without a deposit.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has a relaxed and casual vibe
  • Rustic charm with elegance
  • Venue is completely outdoors

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Not for you if you're looking for a sleek and contemporary space

She was on her feet all day AND STILL breaking it down on the dance floor all night. Her positivity, organization, and genuine care truly showed in both her work and her presence. We are so grateful she was there. Having her as both our photographer and now our friend made the experience even more special.

Our space can accommodate anywhere from 80 to 400 guests, with separate rooms for food, dedicated dressing rooms, a well equipped stage and a relaxing patio heaters, fans and a gas fire pit. When you inquire, you will also receive information about our sister location, The Farm at 42, which we opened in March of 2018. This venue is similar to The Farm at 95, but has simple improvements such as larger dressing suites, upgraded finishes and a completely different ceremony setting. We hope that between one of our locations, we are able to work together to plan your pefect day!

“The Farm at 95 was probably one of our favorite vendors at our wedding. Not only is the location beautiful but Rachel, the General Manager, went above and beyond for us. Our experience working with her was so easy and stress free. She was very helpful during our wedding and even caught a detail I missed and helped us fix it in the moment. Again the venue is beautiful but there also is so many great features you can utilize as well. The dressing rooms with the private bathrooms were perfect for us getting ready (1 bride, 5 maid of honors, 2 mothers and the makeup artist and hair stylist). I also loved how we had so much flexibility you have for where you do the ceremony. You have the option of the outdoor gazebo for your ceremony (which we ended up using) but you also could have your ceremony inside. Our reception was all done in the banquet hall/outdoor patio. We had a live band and the setup was perfect as there is a nice stage in the banquet hall. We had about 200 people and there was more than enough space. I also will mention the parking lot is more than big enough (parking is something I find very important). Overall we loved working with Rachel and truly had an unforgettable night. She did as much as she could to ensure we had a wonderful time. I don't know where else you could find such wonderful venue that is beautiful with a lot of great features and with someone who cares as much as Rachel!”

Hi there! We are Wil & Elisa, husband and wife wedding filmmakers based in Raleigh, NC. We got married on a chilly spring day in Michigan 14 years ago. Best day of our lives! We have two daughters that are our world and keep us entertained for sure! We have been in the filmmaking industry together for 14 years. Elisa is creative and organized which makes my work load so much easier. She's always there to lend a helping hand even though she has her own business to manage. For me, I love weddings and gear! I am constantly finding new ways to film and searching for new gear to add to my collection.

“We loved working with Single Story Film as our wedding videographer. Wil & his wife were so sweet and we loved having them around on our big day as they captured all of our precious moments. The communication leading up to our wedding day was wonderful, and Wil kept us up to date on the progress of our videos afterwards. The video is absolutely gorgeous and we will cherish it always. A videographer, even more than a photographer in my opinion, really captures the FEELING of your wedding day - and Single Story Film will do just that and more. I cannot recommend them enough!”
