About

Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, Elkin Creek Vineyard is a winery venue that hosts weddings, celebrations, and other gatherings. Rich in history, this venue is perfect for both modern and rustic occasions. It offers beautiful creekside wedding ceremonies, with photos to follow.

Facilities and Capacity

As many as 150 guests can join couples on their big day at Elkin Creek Vineyard. Couples can have their ceremony in one of two outdoor location options, the first being a merging point of two creeks. Similar to the way two individuals merge as a couple, this symbolic location offers the pleasant babbling brooks in the background. Couples will exchange vows surrounded by this water feature, as well as trees rich with leaves, stones, and wooded pathways. Another outdoor ceremony location option is on a sandy wooded beach, near a gentle waterfall and historic mill. This space is both natural and historic, giving the couples the best of two worlds for their wedding day. Couples can host an indoor ceremony or reception in the winery’s barn, where they will find themselves in the glow of twinkling lights. This rustic Harvest Barn offers plenty of wooden framework and accents for the perfect country reception. For couples seeking something slightly more contemporary, the dining room is also available for receptions.

All in one.

Elkin Creek Vineyard and Winery has a fantastic staff that work hard to make your day special.
They offer several packages to fit your budget as well as other services to make decisions easier.
For my Wedding we used Jennifer as our coordinator and she was very communicative throughout the process and since she is co-owner, is very knowledgeable about the venue. We were able to take care of a ton of details through the venue and cut down on a lot of stress of planning and finding venues.
The food that was provided by the venue was fantastic and the service was great.
We had to make last minute changes due to potential weather and with Jennifer's reassurance I think the final event turned out even better than our plan A would have.
The location of the vineyard is beautiful no matter the weather or season.

So willing to work with you to create your perfect day

Elkin Creek Vineyard was AMAZING to work with! The wedding coordinator at the venue (Jennifer) is so thorough and goes above and beyond to make your wedding day go well. Even with a torrential downpour on our wedding day Jennifer still made our dreams of an outdoor ceremony possible.

The scenery was stunning, the ceremony site is in a shaded grove that was perfect for pictures and to make you feel in nature without having to hoof it through the country to get there. If you have a chance I would grab some good shoes and climb the waterfall onsite as it is truly spectacular.

The staff was helpful and so kind to me and all of our guests. They cared about how we felt and that we were having a great time. So many of our guests came up to me to tell me how wow'd they were with the service, food and scenery. They do their own catering and it did not disappoint!

We booked both our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception there - the amount we spent includes all of this + catering and alcohol.

Book them now, because they are 100000000% worth it!

Unforgettable Wedding!

Our wedding was PERFECT! Jennifer and the staff at Elkin Creek were flexible (darn pandemic!) accommodating, helpful and made sure our day was everything we could have imagined. The ceremony by the waterfall was beautiful and the celebration held in the open barn was safe and fun. Thank you Jennifer for a day we will never forget!

Amazing Experience

We had an excellent experience with Elkin Creek Vineyard from start to finish. Jennifer was there for me with all of my whims, changes, and indecisiveness. The ceremony sites are endless, depending on the size of your wedding, and the harvest barn is the perfect spot for a reception. We decided to have ECV cater our wedding as well; we had the pizzas, pasta salad, salads, and various wines. Everything was delicious, and our guests were so impressed with the food. We also rented the cabins for the weekend, and it was so nice to have our own little section of the property for our friends, guests, and wedding party. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and we were so happy to have our wedding at ECV.

The Most Magical Venue

From the very first tour we had with Carrie, my now husband and I were sold. This venue offers enchanting views, delicious pizza, and the coziest cabins. It was the most seamless day, all thanks to Jennifer. She made sure things ran according to schedule, directed our guests in between our ceremony and reception and answered every question I had up to our wedding day. We could not have picked a better place to have our wedding. I would recommend this venue a million times over. I look forward to when my husband and I return for a stay at Elkin Creek and get to enjoy another pizza!

Thanks again, Carrie and Jennifer!

Magical venue and amazing staff

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for our wedding, and the staff at Elkin Creek made it all possible. Jennifer, Carrie, Louis and Nick were all pleasure to work with, and their hard work and creativity made our special day just magical. The venue is gorgeous and staff’s hospitality is unparalleled. On the day of our wedding we asked for some lighting to be moved which in-turn busted a water line! No sweat for Louis though, all was repaired and no sign of any damage for the ceremony. Elkin Creek is the perfect location for a wedding indoor or out. We loved the entire experience.

We Love Elkin Creek Vineyard

Elkin Creek Vineyard was so amazing to work with and the property is so beautiful. We had our dream wedding there and could not have ask for anything better. The staff is amazing and the all-inclusive package saved us so much work and headaches. If we had to do it over again, we would choose to have our wedding at Elkin Creek Vineyard every single time!

Perfect Day!

The staff at Elkin Creek Vineyard combined with the beautiful vineyard, gave us the perfect wedding venue for our daughter's wedding. Our family had the best experince there. Carrie, Jennifer and their staff took great care of us. From the wood fired pizzas for the rehersal dinner to the cabin rental(our girls enjoyed so much), they made us feel at ease for the next day(the BIG day). The wedding day was so perfect. Our photographers had tons of picture options with all the beauty around us. Thank you to Elkin Vineyard for the perfect DAY!

Best decision we made (Besides getting married)

I have a lot to say about this vendor and just no words to do it! The Elkin crew really made us feel welcome and loved and part of their family. The planning process was painless and fun! We found many reasons just to come up and look around and have some wonderful wine before the wedding. Jennifer was flexible and so helpful with everything; her experience really shines through! It took a lot of pressure off of us.

The venue itself was gorgeous. Spacious but cozy! Our reception was in the outdoor pavilion and it was so intimate with our family but it still felt like we could all run around and dance! The atmosphere was so romantic and there were no complaints.

We also chose Elkin Creek Vineyards to cater the wedding and-- WOW! The food was absolutely amazing. Every guest had something positive to say and there wasn't a single complaint. Highly recommend the home-made spaghetti and meatballs-- I'm still dreaming of that marinara!

This was an exciting day that the Elkin family took and turned into the happiest day of our lives. We were on cloud 9 the whole time and could really focus on each other. We could not be more pleased with everything they did for us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
