The Cadillac Service Garage was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first contacted them, their communication was prompt and informative, addressing all of our questions and concerns. The venue itself is large, upscale, and clean, with an ideal location that made it easy for our guests to attend. On the day of our wedding, the staff was incredibly organized and willing to assist us with any requests, helping to ensure we were not stressed. Unfortunately, one of our guests had a minor fall during the event, but the venue staff responded quickly, providing their insurance information and working to help get the guest the medical care they needed. Overall, the Cadillac Service Garage exceeded our expectations and contributed greatly to making our special day a complete success.

The Melrose was an amazing choice for a wedding reception venue. First off, Southern Oak was fabulous since they are involved with the Melrose. Second, I heard the waitstaff was amazing all evening, and the food superb. I was incredibly amazed with how well the steaks were cooked despite them being the most requested meal. I also loved how the venue shown and glittered. I am truly in awe of how beautiful the space was. Southern Oak Events was also incredible on top of it! Loved having Nicole there for me through the process. This did not disappoint!

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.

I'm a professional photographer in the wedding industry in Wilmington, and I've known the owner Kelly for awhile now. We have worked together before for many photo shoots, styled shoots, etc. and she is ALWAYS a dream to make a vision come to life with. And now that she owns Maven Monroe, it's even BETTER. The space itself is stunning, and the perfectly clean, white space (photographers love this) with natural light available, it's an absolute pleasure to work in. And I LOVE that there's even TWO getting ready spaces on the property, and soon-to-be a back patio, too!!

The Stockroom at 230 was perfect. Compared to the other weddings I saw in their catalog, mine was minimalist. (I left many decorations) It was beautiful regardless. They are great with organizing floor plans. They designed one for me where there was no need for a room change. That brick and wood floor look is nice, but the bridal suite was such a bonus. My sisters and I had a grand time up there. It has a nice view and easy to decorate for your theme though it's not necessary. The groom's suite isn't as large, but more than sufficient. My husband and groomsmen enjoyed themselves there. I didn't get a food plan nor did they force it on me. I love that. I could see a Stockroom staff member at all times. Additionally there was security. There were no hiccups, but I got married St. Patrick's Day Weekend. My wedding was beautiful.

If you’re looking for the perfect venue, 658 Events is it! This space truly has it all, and John is an absolute gem. He goes above and beyond to help with anything you need, making the entire process seamless. While it’s not strictly all-inclusive, John has an incredible way of making it feel that way. He can help you arrange everything you need, from catering to décor, so you’re never left feeling overwhelmed. The in-house catering is a game-changer – no stress about finding a caterer, and the food is fantastic. This venue is a nonprofit, so you can feel good knowing your money is making a difference. For every meal purchased, they donate free meals to the community lunch program the following week. They’ve thought of everything: chinaware, servers, bartenders, and even the option to bring your liquor – saving you a ton of money. And if you need décor or a planner, John has incredible recommendations to make your vision come to life. The space is huge, with plenty of room for your event and a beautiful lobby for a cocktail hour. Multiple ceremony options are available to suit your style. I honestly can’t recommend 658 Events enough. It’s the venue that takes the stress out of planning and lets you focus on enjoying your event.

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.
