My wedding at Healing Green Farms was perfect! We could not have imagined a more dreamy, romantic backdrop. Our day felt like a fairytale. Here we are 1 year later and Healing Green Farms even set up a picnic spot with fresh cut roses for our wedding anniversary. The owner, Janie, was communicative and there for us through every step!

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

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than Suenos by Casa JK! From the moment we toured it, we loved that it was close to home, brand new, and offered beautiful, unique spaces for every part of our wedding day. Having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one location made everything so convenient while still making each part of the day feel like its own special experience. One of my favorite parts was the bridal suite. The two-bedroom, two-bath cottage was the perfect place to stay the night before the wedding and get ready with my bridesmaids on the big day. Everything throughout the venue was spotless, beautifully maintained, and felt so fresh and modern. Klarie was absolutely incredible to work with. Communication was always quick, and she was so accommodating throughout the entire planning process. I DIYed most of our wedding, and she made it so easy by allowing us to drop off decorations and set everything up the day before. She truly wanted everything to be exactly as I envisioned it and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. We also used Lillington Sports Zone for our catering, and the process was completely seamless. It made planning so much easier, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and we were able to simply enjoy every moment. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how perfectly everything came together. We truly had the perfect day, and so much of that is thanks to the amazing team at Suenos by Casa JK. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with exceptional service and people who genuinely care about making your wedding day everything you've dreamed of, I cannot recommend Suenos by Casa JK enough. We would choose this venue all over again!

My wife and I spent a lot of time visiting wedding venues in the Triangle area. Before discovering The Distillery we had narrowed our choices down to a few finalists, but the moment we toured the venue and met the team we knew this was the perfect place for us. After meeting Chad Biggs the owner and Matt Cooper the venue director, we were completely sold on hosting our wedding here. We could not be happier with our decision. The venue is stunning and had absolutely everything we needed to create the wedding of our dreams. Working with Chad and Matt was such a fun and stress free experience. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled and that our special day ran smoothly. Their flawless communication, attention to detail, and expertise continued to impress us throughout the entire process. On the wedding day the team arrived early and worked tirelessly to support us and every one of our vendors. They treated our day with such care and gave us the peace of mind we needed to just enjoy each moment. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Distillery to anyone in the Triangle planning a wedding. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our celebration. Thank you Chad, Matt, Cameron and the whole Distillery team for making our wedding the best day of our lives.

Sugarneck

  • 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.

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.

Jimmy V's Osteria & Bar made our wedding weekend so easy to plan and execute. The team was friendly from start to finish, and it was incredibly convenient having a venue that could accommodate our group for cocktails after the rehearsal dinner. We loved the setup with their bar, outdoor space, and fire pit – it gave us options for every moment. The morning after the wedding, we reserved their outside fire pit table for guests to gather before heading home, and they served fresh omelettes, eggs, and pastries with great service. The space itself is beautiful and versatile, and having everything in one place took so much stress off our shoulders. We'd definitely recommend Jimmy V's to any couple looking for a venue that goes the extra mile.

After several years of continued growth we began renovations in 2019, adding more dining space to allow large groups to join us in their celebrations, expand the kitchen, and create the Foeder room to launch our wild and sour beer program.

We had a wonderful dinner party Dec 6, 2024 at the Trophy Brewing Morgan Street location! Planning the event with Brittany made for an excellent night. Her quick responses to my many questions and helpful recommendations ensured our party to go off without a hitch. Trophy is known for their pizza, so we were very impressed with how good the alternative entree's were. The apps and entree's were served hot, on time and plenty and desserts to die for. The two room venue was comfortable for our 50 guests and the attentive, friendly and polite staff went above and beyond serving the drinks, apps and attending to our guests needs. We were also very appreciative of Tabatha and the staffs unexpected help for decorative setup and break down and the slide show setup before and after the event. We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Trophy Brewing & Pizza!

We are so happy we chose the Grove to host our wedding in November 2025. The venue was a gorgeous backdrop for our day, and the staff and the food were so wonderful. Everyone we worked with was very communicative and helpful and went out of their way to make sure everything on our wedding day went off without a hitch. Thanks especially to Megan! The food was amazing, the quality was exactly the same from our tasting to the actual event. There was plenty of food and the venue did well in working with our guests' multiple food restrictions. Some of our guests even came to us after our wedding to tell us that the food served to them by the Grove was not just wedding food good, but restaurant-good. At some point during the night apparently a toilet stall door came off its hinges - if no one had told me later, I would've never known. That's exactly the kind of service I was hoping for - no event can go off without a few small problems, but everyone at the venue worked simultaneous and quietly to make sure that it never affected our or our guests' enjoyment of the night.

Chatham Station was the perfect venue for my husband and I. We were on the search for a venue that had an indoor/outdoor feel as well as convenient for our guests staying in downtown Cary. Chatham Station answered all of that. The venue has beautiful garage doors that we kept open throughout our wedding to keep that indoor/outdoor feel during the night. It is located in downtown Cary, which is walkable from the Mayton as well as a short Uber or drive to many hotels in the area. The venue is gorgeous on its own with its natural light and exposed brick and does not need a lot of decor or florals to make it beautiful. We had great communication and service from the owners and the staff of the venue who helped make our day perfect. I couldn’t recommend this venue enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!

Our February wedding at The Fairview in Raleigh was truly everything we dreamed of—and more. From the very beginning, their team made the entire planning process feel smooth, organized, and even enjoyable. A huge shoutout to our coordinator, Casey, who was absolutely incredible. She was so accommodating, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. No detail was too small, and no request ever felt like too much. Having her by our side made such a difference, and we felt completely supported every step of the way. The entire team at The Fairview went above and beyond in every sense. When we walked into our reception, we were completely blown away—it truly looked like an enchanted forest. The atmosphere was magical, and so many of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning everything was. Hearing them rave about the space meant the world to us.
