Melrose Knitting Mill

Located in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, Melrose Knitting Mill is a chic, urban wedding venue. The mill was first built in 1900, and today it serves a number of purposes. Its event spaces are found on the third floor, while the first and second floors house a bar and various offices. The event spaces came into being in 2014 when resident creative director Samad Hachby decided to renovate the third floor.

Facilities and Capacity

Melrose Knitting Mill welcomes ceremonies and receptions, alongside engagement parties, wedding showers, and rehearsal dinners. Couples who are hoping for an intimate elopement are also invited to celebrate here. The event space at this venue is a blank canvas for couples to transform and make their own. The open floor plan creates a sense of airiness, while exposed brick adds an industrial touch. The hall is illuminated by chandeliers for a dash of classic romance. Downstairs, to-be-weds and their guests can mingle at a cocktail reception on the patio. The mill has a maximum capacity of 180 guests and has on-site parking available for any that drive to the celebration.
