  • Offers full flexibility in setup and decor
  • Flexible event spaces
  • Combines timeless elegance with history

Venue considerations

  • Dance floor not included
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • No all-inclusive dining options
We had booked this venue under another management company and I think that's a really important preface - the venue had not been managed for seven months when we arrived so of course it wasn't perfect and there were some issues. None of this was the fault of the new management, who went above and beyond to help us to have a wonderful event. The estate is VAST, there is so much room for a large luxury event here, and plenty of guest space too. It really is a beautiful place for a wedding or special event with a ton of amazing places for stunning photographs.

Arsalan Abbasi Photography 

5.0

Durham, NC
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

My name is Arsalan — "RC" for short. Over many years, I have honed an appreciation for the textures of every day life: shadows shifting with time, the subtle glimpse of emotion in someone's face, or a dapple of light on concrete. Trained as an architect, I approach photography through the same lens with which I view the built world – with a thoughtful eye for light, composition, and poetry. Photography, to me, is about eternalizing this beauty, so that we can keep a little of its magic with us.

I absolutely recommend working with RC. From the moment we booked, RC was kind of and conscientious. He perfectly balanced keeping our spirits high while also being authoritative to make sure our wedding photos could go off without a hitch. Almost all of our family members mentioned to us how impressed they were with RC’s efficiency throughout our wedding. He was well-organized, communicative, and had a great vision for our photos. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Poppy Belle Event & Floral Design 

5.0

Durham, NC
  • Florist

Hi, I’m Amy, the founder of Poppy Belle Design (PBD). You may remember me as the owner of Knots ‘N Such (KNS) back in my wedding planning days. Historically I did both the beautiful and logistical sides, but I eventually realized that design has always been the object of my affection. (Insert heart eyes here) So I eliminated my planning services (RIP) to make more time for event and floral design.

Absolutely wonderful! I worked with Amy, the owner of Poppy Belle, and could not have been happier. She was so attentive, detail oriented, and just a joy to work with. Great communication during the planning process, and my florals turned out so beautifully. 100% recommend.

We are so excited to meet you! We're Raleigh Weddings, a wedding planning and coordination team based right in the heart of North Carolina (but celebrating love everywhere)! Since 2022, we have provided wedding planning and coordination services for all types of different days, couples, and love stories. We approach every element of your wedding day thinking about the intention and story behind it - if it's not reflective of you or your love, then why the heck do it? More than just another vendor, we are your friends, your advocates, your shoulders to lean on. We can't wait to make your "best day ever" exactly that (and more).

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, this is your sign: DO IT. You’ll thank yourself later! From our first call, Carina’s warmth and skill shined through. She asked such intentional questions to get to know me, my fiancé, and our vision for the wedding. It was clear from the start that she had this incredible balance of being kind and approachable while also professional, organized, and proactive. One of my biggest priorities was making sure my mom, who lives out of state, could stay involved in the planning process. Carina handled this seamlessly. She coordinated virtual meetings with my mom and me, facilitated in-person meetings when my mom was in town, and kept us all on the same page with regular updates through her planning platform, emails, and check-ins. Everything felt smooth, and no detail was overlooked. Her vendor recommendations were another highlight. She had options for everything we needed, often at different price points, and always kept our budget and vision in mind. I appreciated how she kept things manageable and made sure we stayed true to what we wanted without feeling overwhelmed. When I started to second-guess decisions, Carina was there with honest, supportive advice that helped me move forward with confidence. What made her even more special was how much she genuinely cared. Every meeting or call started with her checking in on how we were doing—not just with wedding stuff, but personally. That kind of thoughtfulness made such a difference during a busy and emotional time. When the wedding weekend came, Carina and Ally went above and beyond. They handled all the logistics, coordinated with vendors, and made sure my family and wedding party had clear timelines and everything they needed. My fiancé and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, which let us stay fully present and enjoy the day with the people we love. In hindsight, hiring Carina was the best decision we made—she turned what could have been overwhelming into an enjoyable, seamless experience, exceeding every expectation along the way. We are forever grateful! We love you, Carina!!

We received an entire wedding album just a few weeks after our big day and got our first few photos while we were on our honeymoon. Most photographers we spoke with before had much longer turn around times. Would definitely book again!

Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all. I am so thankful to have had her help for the months, days, hours and minutes of this entire process. She has been the sweetest person from the minute I inquired with her all the way through our post-wedding conversations!
