About this venue

The Gardens at Gray Gables is an elegant wedding venue located in the historical district of Summerfield, North Carolina. Offering multiple indoor and outdoor event spaces, as well as beautiful grounds, it makes a picturesque backdrop for celebrations of all kinds. What's more, the venue includes all event essentials in their rental fee, including tables, chairs, lighting, tents, bar services, and more. This ensures the smoothest possible experience for you as you plan your special day.

Facilities and Capacity

The Southard Rose Arbor is the venue's main ceremony site. Here, you can exchange vows beneath a beautiful white arbor, surrounded by towering oaks and evergreen trees. There's a paved walkway for you to walk down, and a sodded grass seating area for your family and friends. After you say "I do," you can move to the Stantliff Courtyard for your cocktail hour. This 2,500-square-foot patio features an outdoor bar and scenic views of Gable's Pond, and offers plenty of space for yard games, appetizer stations, and photo booths. For your reception, you can use the Brittain Patio, a spacious area surrounded by flowerbeds and covered with a tent. The tent is adorned with a crystal chandelier and globe string lights, and can be fully enclosed with walls and doors if desired. Additional venue facilities include the Stantliff Cottage, where you can get ready, and the main house, which features another dressing room, a kitchen, and restrooms. The house also boasts a full-service bar, which you can use if you wish.

Services Offered

The venue can supply you with a list of recommended vendors, which eases the stress of having to find vendors on your own. They have a full ABC license, meaning they can provide you with a fully-stocked bar along with a bartender, mixers, cups, and napkins. Other dedicated event staff will also be present to assist you and your guests throughout the day. With all of your event needs taken care of, you'll be able to simply relax and enjoy your magical day without stress.

We worked with Danielle for our wedding in September of 2015 and we had a wonderful experience! She was very prompt and thorough with answering all of our questions, and completely put us at ease about all the details about the day. We had previously attended an open house there and were very impressed with their entire setup. They have a bar on-site and are very familiar with all the local vendors and can make recommendations to help ease the process. This was wonderful for us as we do not live in the Greensboro/Summerfield area and appreciated the recommendations they provided.

The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and there are many options for ceremony sites and photos! They allowed us to have our three dogs in the wedding and at the reception, which was very important to us as they are a huge part of our lives. We had a wonderful wedding there and would highly recommend this place to anyone!

This is such a beautiful venue!! Danielle was truly helpful with all our plans. On the wedding day the weather gave us a run for our money and they offered us an alternate plan that worked so well. They handled everything just like we were family.

We had our May wedding at the Gardens at Gray Gables, and I could not have been happier with our venue choice. This is one you should definitely tour if you're considering it; there are so many beautiful spaces and thoughtful details that you can't fully appreciate it through photos.

I loved have separate defined spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. (The cocktail area may have been my favorite. I've been to many weddings where it felt like this time felt like an afterthought and guests weren't sure where to go, but the patio with it's own bar and cocktail tables setup made ours feel very special. They even let the kids in attendance feed the koi in their pond!)

The level of service was also fantastic. All the venue staff was included with the price of the venue, and they had more than enough people to manage guest parking, run the bars, and direct the flow of the event. I was pleasantly surprised that my bridesmaids and I event had a bridal cottage attendant to help us with anything we wanted before the ceremony. Danielle was also really helpful leading up to the event. I texted her probably once a week at least and visited the venue multiple times to take measurements and figure out where everything should go. She gave great advice when asked for her opinion, and made sure our wedding ran very smoothly and looked beautiful. I appreciated all the little touches, like an emergency kit for guests in the bathroom and her help with the decor. (After the ceremony she suggested to my mom that we reuse some of the flowers in other areas, then took care of moving them.)

The fact that the venue provided a very sizable reception tent and all the tables and chairs, plus the setup for all these, was key to making everything come together for us. I was also very glad we could choose any vendors we wanted, as a few were smaller or newer businesses that provided great service but aren't on many approved vendor lists.

The whole venue was absolutely beautiful and it made our wedding seem like a fairytale! I loved everything about it! There were a few hiccups with the cocktail hour but they fixed their mistakes right away and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly.

We loved this venue so much. It was beautiful! Our guests and vendors said it's one of the nicest venues that they had been to. Everything had a separate location (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) which was wonderful and made everything run so smoothly. The staff was super attentive on the day of the wedding, especially the manager. We didn't know we were going to have her assigned to us that evening to make sure we had anything and everything we needed but it was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better day. The price is definitely reasonable considering what you get. We also saved some money since we were married on a Sunday, which helped.

This is a beautiful venue. The grass is well taken care of, the trees and plants are gorgeous. We got many many compliments about how pretty our venue was. For the beauty of our wedding and now our pictures, this venue was definitely worth the price we paid. The day of our wedding, the venue was well prepared and very helpful. We had a really hard time getting in touch with Danielle, who is the person who runs the wedding venue. We planned from out of state and so having such difficulty getting in touch with the her became quite frustrating. She always eventually got back to us, but it would sometimes take up to a week. We also booked the venue before they got their ABC license and were told we could bring in our own alcohol. This was a huge selling point for us as it would save us a lot of money. Between the time we booked the venue and our wedding happened, they got their license and things changed increasing the cost of alcohol for us a lot. They were very understanding of our budget and worked with us to give us the alcohol at a more fair price, closer to what we would have paid in the first place. Overall, we were very happy with the way the venue treated us. The only thing that could have been better is the responsiveness of Danielle. If you have a lot of time and patience, I would definitely recommend using this venue. It is one of the most beautiful wedding venues I've seen.

What a beautiful Venue!
This place was what my wedding dreams were made of, and helped to make them all come true!

Danielle was very helpful offering different floor plans to accommodate my guests and vendor set up. Her staff set everything up beautifully!

The tent was wonderful, and they had fans running to keep everything cool.

The only thing that would have made them a 5/5 venue is if they didn't start cleaning up before my guests had gathered My wedding things and their belongings. I ended up with rushed guests and had to get replacements for my cake topper and ribbons, b/c they were forgotten/trashed in the hurry to leave.

The Gardens at Gray Gables is an absolutely gorgeous venue and worth every penny. We had a few occasions where we reached out to the venue and did not receive a timely response, but overall it was a good experience. Any lack of communication about the wedding prior to the event was totally forgotten the day of the event as everything looked perfect, and Danielle was on hand to handle any issues and requests. I would recommend this venue to others, we are still receiving comments from our guests about the venue and how beautiful it was!

As a vendor, I have always loved The Gardens at Gray Gables but when I became a Bride and had so many venue options I got overwhelmed. It wasn't until I came to Gray Gables, spoke with Danielle, and toured the Gardens that I knew 100% this was the place I wanted to marry the man of my dreams. Gray Gables goes above and beyond for their Brides and ensure your day is perfect! I would highly recommend this venue to any Bride looking for an elegant and classy venue!
