About

On WeddingWire since 2016

The Governors Club is a country club with a ballroom for couples’ weddings in the greater Raleigh, North Carolina area. This classic venue features gorgeous outdoor spaces including emerald greens and a sparkling lake, as well as timeless indoor locations for a couple’s wedding. Couples can find this venue in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, approximately 26 minutes from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Facilities and Capacity

With a maximum capacity of 300, couples can fill this ballroom with their friends and family for the wedding, or choose to host a more private affair. Couples can marry on a patio space framed by tall trees in the background. Further still, the green grasses of the golf course roll into the distance, where they meet an imposing tree line before the bright blue sky. Ceremonies can also be held directly on the lawn at this course, for couples who want the Earth under their feet for the beginning of their lives together. The property has many bountiful locations for wedding portraits, including on a flat wooden bridge that stretches across the middle of an expansive pond, on a small knoll that meets the water below by way of a stone wall, or among the country club’s weeping willow trees. Inside, couples can use the clubhouse for their reception, complete with a grand staircase and bright elegant ballroom.

Services Offered

The venue welcomes couples for a reception and ceremony, but also invites couples to the lush property if they have a location selected for their wedding day. In this event, couples can host their bridal shower or engagement party at the Governors Club. The attentive staff at this country club offer couples the following services for their occasion:

  • Bridal suite
  • Cake
  • Cleanup
  • Event planning
  • Parking

    Amazing venue, food, and service!

    Michele and Passion made everything PERFECT! Thank you! We had the ceremony out on the terrace, and a cocktail hour on the patio, and dinner and dancing upstairs in the bar room. It was perfect for 108 to 110 people. The hors d’oeuvres were a hit and the food stations were delicious! The service was A+!!!!

    The Best Venue

    The Governors Club (GC) deserves more than 5 stars in every category. After shopping for a venue, we fell in love with the GC from the moment we visited. We worked with Lisa, Felicia and Josh and can not say enough wonderful things about working with the GC and the entire staff. They are professional, caring, flexible and made our wedding so perfect in so many ways. The pictures turned out amazing. Our guests said the food was the best they have ever had at any wedding! Chef Ben rocked the food!! If your date is available at the GC, stop looking and book it! You will be happy you did!
