I cannot say enough amazing things about Village Pine Venue. Due to the hurricane damages in NC, I had to completely replan our wedding 10 days before it happened. Melissa from Village Pine was eager to help us out and quickly helped us get booked and started on choosing new vendors. Village pine is an absolutely beautiful venue with a wonderful space for all things (bridal getting ready, grooms getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc.). This venue is a stunning space with outrageously helpful staff and I am so glad to have had my wedding here. I cannot recommend them enough.

Wild Rock Farm was absolutely incredible! It is such a beautiful venue, and it was the perfect place for our wedding. We had around 60 guests, and the space felt just right—intimate, comfortable, and absolutely gorgeous. The accommodations were wonderful and made the entire weekend so much easier for us and our family. Everything was well cared for, clean, and welcoming. One of the biggest blessings was working with Diane, the venue coordinator. She was amazing from start to finish! She was kind, organized, helpful, and genuinely cared about making our day special. Her calm presence and attention to detail made the entire planning process and wedding day so much less stressful. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue. If you’re looking for a beautiful place with wonderful accommodations and an exceptional team, I cannot recommend Wild Rock Farm enough. It was everything we hoped for and more!

My partner and I toured this property for a private event we are hosting later this year! We’ve explored other event venues in the area and I must say Greengate Manor & Gardens really took our breath away. The attention to details is prevalent throughout the property & we got a chance to meet the property manager Michelle who was absolutely delightful & helpful. Some of my favorite features were the high peak tent which sets this venue apart & creates such a luxurious & elegant feel. The blooming gardens and the indoor space available are all well kept and beautifully decorated. We are so thrilled to move forward with booking this space. Additionally, this venue is owned by a lovely couple and you can tell they have put their heart and soul into the details of the venue, it’s rare to find a venue space that has that human touch & warmth and Greengate Manor certainly excels in that respect!

I cannot recommend this venue highly enough! From the very start, the owner and her team went above and beyond to make planning stress-free and enjoyable. They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and make sure every detail was perfectly executed. Their support and calm presence made a huge difference, especially when I was nervous on the big day. The décor closet was such a wonderful bonus, and when I brought in my own items, they decorated the barn beautifully — it looked exactly like I had imagined. They also provided excellent vendor recommendations, which made planning even easier and more seamless. Our fall wedding was truly magical. The venue is breathtaking, and our guests loved exploring the grounds and meeting the animals. Every single aspect of the day ran flawlessly, and I could not have asked for a more perfect experience.

Sugarneck 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Sanford, NC
  • Up to 125 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $7,200

Sugarneck is rumored to have gotten its name by the bootleggers traveling along the Cape Fear River as a code word for the place where they would pick up their moonshine. Sugarneck reaches back long before smartphones and social media, back to a time when the only way to send a message was by writing a letter and sending it in the mail. One of the earliest U.S. Post Offices in North Carolina still stands strong today. It was a community where people gathered, shared news and good times. Built in 1874, the renovated original Cabin structure serves as a unique visual reminder of those simpler times. The Cabin and the Post Office are on the National Register of Historic Places. The vast scenic views of the North Carolina countryside along with the grandness of our 150 year old Oak trees do not go unnoticed, and at night, the stars light up the sky. Today, there is an unexpected immersive experience that brings history, nature and modern elegance together in total privacy.

  • All-inclusive venue packages
  • Bridal suite on site
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

We had our wedding at Sugarneck in May. The venue alone is stunning, incredibly well taken care of and immaculately clean. Add to that the dedication of Alicia and her team to plan and execute the most magical, flawless day - I wish I could give 10 stars! We chose Sugarneck because of its location and extremely reasonably priced packages. It truly took the stress out of the day as Alicia was always on top of any questions/concerns I had and brought my ideas to life in all areas. Despite a downpour after the ceremony, the day was flawless and the team worked so hard, always while providing top notch service to all our guests. The only thing I wish I had known ahead of time was the difficultly in guests getting Ubers after the event, while there was a shuttle bus that showed up that transported people, had I known, I would have either paid for it or given people a heads up as it was a little pricey. We spent the whole weekend there including hosting the rehearsal dinner which in itself was a fabulous time. We really felt like part of the family there and not just ‘renting the property’. We would not have asked for a more perfect venue and team to help us with our special day.

This venue was absolutely incredible. Made all of my bridal dreams come true! I don't think you will find a more beautiful barn venue anywhere (and the bridal suite - UNREAL), but that isn't even what did it for us. Lexi and her family were the greatest unexpected blessing. Lexi was so kind to us from the very beginning of choosing Grant Gables as our venue, and working with us as we asked questions and got closer to the wedding day. Her whole family helped us all weekend and we considered them family the whole time. I don't know what I would've done without them, and will be thankful for them every time I look back at my wedding. My husband and I had the most perfect day, and we have Lexi to thank for that.

The Hive is a beautiful event center located in Staley, NC. We are situated on 200 acres of rolling farm land in Randolph county NC. Our facility began life as the clubhouse for Ferguson Farms Golf Course. When the golf course closed in 2012, it sat abandoned until our family came across the land. We came across this gem while we were searching for a larger property to expand our farm. It had been neglected for so many years, but we immediately saw great potential in its natural beauty, barns, and clubhouse. The streams, ponds, and woodlands teamed with wildlife and we just knew this farm had to been revived into something new, a place where joy, laughter and unity would be experienced.

We believe that celebrating life and hosting is one of the greatest joys imaginable. Our lives take us in so many different directions, that finding the time, much less the space to be together feels impossible. When events can be firmly put on the calendar, you have achieved an amazing feat. Gathering so many people with different lives and schedules for one night is a monumental task. We have an incredibly large family ourselves so every birthday and holiday feels like a massive event. Once you nail down the date, we want to be the space where you can host your loved ones. Where you can share food and drink, and create a memory that will stay with them for a lifetime. We would be honored if you could create those memories with us. We created this space with our family in mind and we hope we can share it with yours

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mirabela as our photographer for years, so when my husband and I wanted to renew our vows, I know we would be in good hands. Mirabela has recently taken over the most beautiful venue. The minute we drove back through the winding drive it was like we had been transported to another country! The setting was intimate and gorgeous. Mirabela was able to work with us to create a ceremony that fit our dream and our budget. Whether you are looking for a small ceremony or an all-inclusive package, I would highly recommend Mirabela and Villa Mirabela!

Working with Tony and Beth at Old Lystra Inn was an absolute dream from start to finish. After spending countless hours searching for the perfect venue, my husband and I knew immediately that this was the one the moment we pulled up the driveway. Tony greeted us with a late-evening tour that felt incredibly personal, not at all rushed—and it set the tone for everything that followed. The property itself is breathtaking. The grounds are impeccably maintained and filled with charm, and so much is included in the rental package—tent, dance floor, chairs, tables, and more—which made planning far less stressful. It was a huge relief not having to coordinate all those big logistics separately. Beth and Tony were a constant source of support leading up to the big day. Whether it was a quick stop by to walk the grounds, a late-night email, or one of our many questions (and there were a lot!), they always made time for us. We never felt like “just another couple” in a long wedding season. Instead, they made us feel like our day truly mattered—like we were getting married in a place that had heart and soul, not just beautiful scenery. On the day itself, Tony was everywhere—behind the scenes making things happen and helping everything flow effortlessly. We can’t overstate how much that meant to us. Thanks to his quiet dedication, we were able to be fully present and just enjoy the day. We are endlessly grateful to have had our wedding at Old Lystra Inn. It was the best day of our lives, and Tony and Beth played such a meaningful role in making that possible. We can’t wait for the day we get to return as guests and relive the magic from a different perspective. Highly, highly recommend!

Ardenwood Farm was the perfect venue for my summer bridal shower and I could not have been happier with my experience! The owner, Julia, is kind, communicative, and overall wonderful to work with. We rented the small venue behind the covered riding ring and it more than comfortably fit 25 guests at a competitive price for the Chapel Hill area. The chairs and tables were set up to our specifications and we had full access to their decor closet, including a bar cart, vases, and vintage pieces. We were able to bring our own food and had access to an ice maker and fridge — and most importantly for July, full control of the thermostat! Easy parking for unloading/loading party supplies and for guests. My guests also loved seeing the horses around the property! Highly recommend choosing Ardenwood Farm for your bridal shower, bridesmaid luncheon, or other wedding event!
