About

Situated in Elkin, North Carolina, Coley Hall at The Liberty began as a run-down century old Tobacco Warehouse. After being purchased by Elkin native Cicely McCulloch, the space was transformed into a beautiful wedding venue. However, one cannot help but notice the space’s rich history. With an industrial feel, century-old exposed beams overhead, weathered wood, and distressed brick, it’s the definition of rustic elegance and can be tailor-made to fit any style. Keep things simple by utilizing the existing beauty of the space, or dress it up with elegant sheer fabrics draped overhead. Even if you are not DIY savvy, our staff is here to provide inspiration to ensure your vision comes to life!

This venue is an hour drive from Charlotte, NC and about two hours and 10 minutes away from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Facilities and Capacity

The Liberty has three different venues: Coley Hall, The Courtyard at Coley Hall, and The Roth Room.

Coley Hall, the largest space, has space for 500 wedding guests. Guests will be greeted by a beautiful front facade with a sweeping grand staircase. This wrought-iron staircase is perfect for ceremonies, wedding portraits, or grand exits. Inside, couples can marry in front of grand wooden doors with shining glass windows. For receptions, this venue is quickly flipped by our staff into a dining area and dancefloor. The exposed brick walls inside stretch two stories high and feature windows looking onto historic downtown Elkin. The beams running overhead can be draped with market lights that reflect off the windows, fabric decor, flower arrangements, and more.

Our outdoor space, The Courtyard at Coley Hall, features space for up to 200 guests. Nestled between two historic buildings in downtown Elkin, this space features a beautiful stone walkway, exposed brick, and a cobblestone aisle that makes for a beautiful and intimate outdoor ceremony. Like Coley Hall, this space is a blank canvas for the wedding party. There is ample space for you to transform the space to your liking.

Our third space, The Roth Room, is a smaller banquet room built for intimate gatherings. With space for up to 50 guests, this is the perfect space for smaller gatherings of any type. The space features exposed brick and banquet-style tables that make a beautiful backdrop for any event.

Coley Hall at the Liberty

First of all, GO CHECK OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL GEM OF A VENUE! We absolutely loved having our wedding at Coley Hall at The Liberty! It is a beautiful brick building with a lot of windows and is attached to Angry Trolls Brewery and restaurant (great beer and food!)-you can decorate in so many different ways/themes. There is a beautiful, rustic courtyard where you can have a ceremony in the warmer months or take pictures in! We decided to rent the Roth room as our bridal suite and the guys hung out downstairs in the taproom/indoor game area while getting ready. The food was fantastic as all of our guests especially raved about the beef tips! I have to give a HUGE, special thank you to Suzanne who made things happen and worked so hard (all day) to make our day great and stress free! You’re the best Suzanne-thank you! Cicely was great as well and was extremely flexible with us! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, to you all, for the perfect day!!

Loved Coley Hall at The Liberty

We got married at Coley Hall and had a great experience. Cicely and Suzanne were easy to work with and very responsive during the planning process. Coley Hall was a great venue with a beautiful courtyard that we used for our ceremony. We moved inside for the reception and had the rustic charm and character we were looking for. All of our friends from out of town commented on how much they enjoyed Coley Hall and Elkin. I definitely recommend this venue for your wedding!

Amazing! Perfect wedding venue

We celebrated my daughter’s this weekend and it was perfect! They held the ceremony in the courtyard and the reception in Coley Hall and we could not have asked for a more perfect venue. The venue is unique and beautiful, the management was awesome to work with, the food was great and the servers worked hard to make sure everyone was taken care of. Would highly recommend!

We just had our wedding at The Liberty & we had an amazing time. They were not only helpful, but very easy to work with and very flexible. They were great about emailing us & answering our questions. We also got our food catered from them, and it was delicious & exactly what we asked for. Everything we needed was taken care of. They even set up a Bridal room for us with amazing lights & music on the day of.

I would definitely recommend this place for your wedding! We had an amazing day & loved every second of it.

The only thing that I would suggest for them is to have more room for other people in the wedding party to hang out and relax before the wedding. There is a basement, but it isn't finished yet & could easily be turned into a more comfortable place to be.

We had our wedding reception held here on December 13, 2014 and everything was perfect! The staff was helpful in our planning and communicated with us during the whole process! We held our rehearsal dinner at The Liberty the night before as well and then we did some pre-decorating! Our guests were delighted the venue! Would highly recommend it!

The Liberty is a gem of a venue in Elkin! The staff was great to work with and were flexible in accommodating our needs and requests. It's a perfect mix of old charm and new facilities, keeping the old character of the building with modern amenities. Douglas, Cicley and Erika were great to work with and we had so many compliments on the space and the food! Loved it!!
