About

Step back in time and celebrate in an authentic Queen Anne-style architectural masterpiece. Nestled on a sprawling 10-acre lot in the thriving town of Franklinton, NC, stands the magnificent Carolina Manor. Built in 1902, this impressive home boasts a stunning design featuring charming bay windows, 12-foot ceilings, elegant dormers and towers, and a picturesque wrap-around porch. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the warm glow of hardwood floors that run throughout the three-story home.

The overall property includes luxury tree houses for lodging, a garden chapel, wine cellar, amphitheater, and outdoor patio with custom bar. For indoor events, couple's can host in the Manor House, perfect for cocktail hours or intimate ceremonies, or The Grand Hall, which comfortably seats up to 200 guests with a dance floor.

5 out of 5 stars!

Choosing Carolina Manor House for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. The grounds are perfectly kept, the staff goes over the top to make you feel excited and welcome, and every detail of the house/reception area are utilized and well kept. Also, I highly recommend staying in the tree houses! We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue. There is PLENTY to do in Franklinton and many places for guests to stay that are close by and Ubers accessible.

The BEST day!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding in November 2024, and we cannot say enough about how incredible our experience was! From start to finish, the venue and staff exceeded every expectation. The attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made our special day truly magical.

The venue itself was breathtaking—beautifully maintained and the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the ambiance and how seamlessly everything flowed throughout the day.

The staff deserves special recognition. They were warm, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless. From helping us personalize the setup to making sure we felt calm and taken care of, they handled every moment with grace and efficiency.

If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, don’t hesitate—it’s a decision you will never regret. Thank you for helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever!

Gorgeous venue

I worked with Southern Oak Events for my wedding this past August and had a wonderful experience! Working with Erika and Jessica made the process fun and so much less stressful as a bride! It absolutely poured on our wedding day, but the team at Southern Oak Events quickly pivoted and created something magical indoors last minute that all our guests couldn't stop talking about. They truly went above and beyond for us and our loved ones during such a special day. Thank you Southern Oak Events!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
