When searching for a venue to host my son's rehearsal dinner I stumbled across The Carolina Estate online. I reached out to the venue and was delighted to learn I was speaking directly with Mrs. Sheila, the venue owner. From the first phone call, I immediately felt such a connection to her and her sincere kindness. I was coming from 4 hours away to have the dinner here and had no idea where to begin with catering or anything else. She was kind enough to send me a vendors list and even put me in contact with a local catering service. She never minded me calling or emailing her with questions and was always available and very knowledgeable. She sent me pics of the Opal room, which is just one of the many rooms they have available and I immediately knew that it was exactly what I was looking for. When I arrived she had the tables arranged as we had discussed and I must say the place blew me away with all of its beauty. It is located on a picturesque landscape with with a beautiful view of a large pond. The room I rented was very adequate for a rehearsal dinner and could accommodate 60 people easily. The ceiling is decorated with beautiful twinkling led lights that are breathtaking at night. The facility is immaculate. Very easy access. It was just perfect and so was the package pricing (very good pricing for such an amazing venue). I am still getting compliments about the dinner and everyone was so impressed with everything about it. If you are looking for a beautiful venue either for your wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner or any other occasion please give The Carolina Estate a chance, you won't be disappointed! Thank you for making our Night Before be something we will remember forever!

A rustic wedding venue in Danville, Virginia, Atkinson Farms is the perfect scenic location for creating lasting memories. Tucked away in the countryside, the venue's entrance is flanked by beautiful gates and well-manicured fields. Atkinson Farms is the premier place for hosting your affair!

  • Dance floor not included

When I called Atkinson’s Farm to plan a wedding in just seven weeks because my daughter’s fiancé was being deployed to Japan, I was overwhelmed and unsure if it could even be done. Eddie didn’t laugh or hesitate—he simply said, “Let’s make this happen.” From that moment on, he delivered. His guidance, checklists, and constant communication made an incredibly stressful situation feel possible and supported. Eddie’s team—Tara, Dougie, and Wendy—were just as amazing. Tara was more than a coordinator; she was compassionate, calming, and fully invested in making sure our family felt cared for. We truly could not have done this without her. Dougie worked behind the scenes like magic, efficiently setting up and tearing down with ease, and Wendy handled the bar flawlessly—even with our lively crowd. The property is beautiful, and having the wedding party stay on‑site the night before meant more than words can express. The lodge and cabin are stunning, the food was absolutely incredible (we received so many heartfelt compliments), and even with an impending ice and snowstorm, my daughter and son‑in‑law had the wedding of their dreams. If you’re looking for a venue that shows up for you—not just in perfect conditions, but when life is happening fast and emotions are high—Atkinson Farms is it. We will always be grateful. Highly recommend.

We absolutely LOVED our July wedding The Fairview in Raleigh! From the moment we toured the space, the environment was so open and welcoming. We had a good feeling about The Fairview from day 1 and I'm glad we trusted our hearts to lead us. We initially decided to book the Fairview as our reception location and booked a separate park venue for our wedding location. Since the Fairview's connected business Themeworks does item delivery, set up and break down, we got a contract with them to deliver chairs and other decor to our first location. Regardless of our plans, there was absolutely no pressure or predatory pricing tactics used throughout the process (unlike some of their competitors such as Wakefield Barn). Every rental price was fair and every decision we made was met with excitement! The day before our big day, a major storm hit and the Fairview was ready to accommodate! We ended up having both our wedding and reception at the Fairview and I'm genuinely grateful to all of the staff for making this last minute huge shift possible! The staff showed up earlier, helped flip the space, and provided a level of reassurance that will always be appreciated. While the whole staff was terrific (even the owner!), our coordinator Casey was absolutely amazing! From the moment we toured, she was ready and willing to talk details, brainstorm, and provide solutions to make our vision a reality! We were supported, encouraged and genuinely had such a great time talking and planning with Casey. As a project manager, it's no exaggeration to say that Casey and the Fairview staff were the best vendors I've ever worked with. Even down to adjusting my dress before I walked down the aisle, they were on top of EVERY single detail. The entire team at The Fairview consistently went above and beyond and made our special day absolutely perfect. If you’re considering venues in Raleigh, you have to go check out the Fairview and ThemeWorks. Bring your imagination and get ready to be surrounded with positivity and love! Congrats new couples!!

We absolutely loved working with Maddie and The Maxwell staff. From the beginning, their communication style was highly responsive and proactive, which was so helpful as we planned our day. The venue itself was like a beautiful, clean white canvas that allowed us to personalize it to our vision. Maddie was amazing - she was timely in her responses and willing to help with any ideas or out of the box things we had planned for the day. She put the flowers on our cake, look at how amazing it turned out!! And the best part as an LGBTQ couple is that not once did we feel othered or judged, we were treated like queens! We couldn't have asked for a better venue and staff to make our special day perfect.

The Berry Hill Resort & Conference Center was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Stephanie and the event planning team were warm, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. The venue itself is simply stunning - the beautiful, historic buildings and spacious fields created the most gorgeous, cohesive backdrop for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Whether we were exchanging vows, sipping cocktails, or dancing the night away, everything felt seamless and intentional. Stephanie in particular was a true blessing, guiding us through the planning process with patience and expertise to ensure our day unfolded flawlessly. We couldn't be happier with our choice of The Berry Hill Resort & Conference Center, and we're so grateful to the entire event team for making our wedding day truly special.
