Raleigh Wedding Venues
A guide to Raleigh wedding venues
Raleigh rocks y’all. And our little city has some fantastic places to get married. This list is for traditional event and wedding venues. I’ve also got a list of more untraditional venues (museums and the like). And if you’re searching wider than Raleigh, I’ve also got wedding venue lists for Durham and Chapel Hill.
All of the wedding venues listed are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community!!
And while you’re touring Raleigh wedding venues, make sure to check out the Kivus & Camera wedding guide:
Market Hall
Cobblestone streets and market lights + the option for a giant dance floor? If you think that sounds great, Market Hall in City Market might be the right Raleigh wedding venue for you!

The Grove at City Market
Speaking of City Market, there’s another great venue served by those cobblestone streets: The Grove at City Market. The Grove’s courtyard is perfect for a wedding ceremony when the weather is right!

Melrose Knitting Mill
This converted textile mill is the perfect venue for couples who love exposed brick and dreamy light. Melrose also sits above Mulino restaurant, and the Mulino patio is a perfect cocktail hour spot.

Haywood Hall House
Downtown Raleigh has several historic venues, but the oldest is Haywood Hall House & Gardens. Most people don’t realize this Raleigh wedding venue is sitting just a block away from the Capitol.

All Saints Chapel
Looking for a candles and stained glass vibe for your Raleigh wedding? All Saints Chapel is the venue for you. The chapel is over 150 years old and the historic atmosphere is perfect for a traditional ceremony.

Union Hall
Want to have a big wedding downtown? Want lots of windows and a unique vibe? Go for Union Hall at Union Station in the warehouse district! Walking down the industrial staircase here is an epic entrance!!! And the neon Raleigh sign is wonderful.
Check out Sonia & Vinay’s Union Hall wedding.
The Stockroom at 230
You don’t get much more downtown than Fayetteville street, and this next Raleigh wedding venue is right there. The Stockroom at 230 is perfect for a couple who wants to be at the heart of the city. I definitely recommend booking the Glass Box upstairs for your getting ready space.
Check out Jessica & Eric’s Stockroom wedding
Junction West
If you haven’t noticed by now, I love a courtyard ceremony. Junction West has a great courtyard. This cocktail bar in the warehouse district also has an event space. You can have your ceremony in the courtyard, host a cocktail hour in the bar area, and party in the event hall.

Merrimon Wynne House
For couples looking for something classic, the Raleigh wedding venue that best fits that bill is The Merrimon-Wynne House in the historic Oakwood neighborhood.
