Heights House is a beautiful wedding venue in Raleigh, North Carolina, setting the stage for couples to host a unique celebration! The property carries years of history, as it was commissioned in 1858 by William Montfort Boylan and transformed into a breathtaking, Italian-style mansion by 1860. Since then, the venue has seen several developments with owners, renovations, restorations, and changes. Today, it welcomes couples to experience the wedding they've always dreamt of!

Heights House provided a stunning and seamless setting for our son’s May 3 wedding, with exceptional coordination by Anna.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Heights House for our son’s wedding on May 3. The setting was perfect—both indoors and outdoors—creating a beautiful atmosphere for the celebration. Anna, the coordinator, was exceptional in ensuring everything ran smoothly and that every detail was in place. Our guests had a wonderful time, and those who stayed overnight consistently remarked on how stunning and comfortable the venue was. It was truly a memorable and seamless experience from start to finish.

Simply Stunning

Heights House is the epitome of elegance and charm and my husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque setting for our special day. We were thoroughly impressed by every facet of this enchanting venue, and would highly recommend it to all couples looking for their own wedding. The ambiance and atmosphere of Heights House created a beautiful backdrop for our wedding. The grounds are meticulously landscaped and manicured and provided a stunning backdrop for our spring ceremony. The grandeur and historic charm of the house itself exuded a modern sophistication combined with a vintage warmth we truly could not find anywhere else. Whether indoors or outdoors, the venue effortlessly blends natural splendor with refined architecture that captivated all our guests. The service and hospitality of the Heights House team is also exceptional. The experienced event coordinator Claire ensured seamless execution and worked closely with our planners to ensure very detail was handled with utmost care and professionalism. Heights House also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to amenities and facilities. The wedding suite and downstairs lounge were amazing gathering areas for our parties to get ready in style. Our guests were treated to ample parking, well-appointed restrooms, and plenty of gathering spaces to chat, dance, and celebrate. We were also a stones throw away from downtown, making many of our other weekend events more convenient. Heights House was an amazing place for making some unforgettable moments. With its breathtaking surroundings, impeccable service, attention to detail, and historic charm, couple cannot lose when choosing this as their venue!
