The history of The Sutherland and the estate dates back to 1786, when Colonel Ransom Sutherland, an officer in the Fourth Regiment, North Carolina Continental Line and member of the Council of State, purchased this property from John Mederais. Colonel Sutherland is said to have built the rear portion of the main house. As early as 1807, the Sutherlands called the house Wakefields. The front block of the present main house was built in 1831 by John and Mourning Person Harris, descendants of Ransom Sutherland. Members of the Harris family owned the home until 1946. Since that time, the property has had several owners. Over the years, additions were constructed to complete the final home as it stands today.

Question

What are the venue & grounds like?

Answer

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside. Pray for no rain! The ceremony is in a garden area on the side of the home...so there will be grass. The remainder of the wedding will be on cobblestone pavers!

For all the days along the way
