Dream Come True

Graylyn was an absolute dream. I have grown up going there with my family so being able to get married there was so special. The staff is amazing, kind, and so incredibly helpful. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. It was absolutely perfect!

Great venue, professional staff!

When my daughter's wedding venue in western North Carolina was hit by hurricane Helene, The Graylyn Estate was so gracious and kind to help us with a quick change of venue. Courtney Baxter and Alex Collins were so helpful and professional in every aspect of our planning and coordination. We believe this wedding could not have turned out better in any other place. The Bride and Groom went from the disappointment of losing their venue to being elated with The Graylyn Estate and their staff. It was a beautiful wedding!

Hidden Gem with Charm and Elegance!

I recently had the pleasure of having my wedding ceremony and reception at Graylyn Estate, and I can confidently say it’s a hidden gem in Winston-Salem. From the moment I inquired about the venue, the communication was outstanding. The team was always responsive and attentive, making the planning process smooth and enjoyable.

The grounds are beautifully kept, offering a stunning backdrop for any celebration. Our guests were in awe of the estate’s charm and elegance, which truly elevated the entire experience.

The exceptional team at Graylyn made everything seamless. Their collaboration with my wedding planner and all of my vendors was effortless, allowing us to focus on enjoying the day. I highly recommend Graylyn Estate for anyone looking for a picturesque venue with top-notch service!
