Absolutely AMAZING Venue
We could not have asked for a better venue to host our large, Italian/Colombian/Southern wedding. The Umstead staff and service is incredible as our many guests complimented them to us throughout the evening. We knew from the initial meeting to expect an excellent wedding weekend but they far surpassed anything we could have imagined. Terri and her team answered all of my questions in a timely and helpful manner throughout the planning process. The wedding packages at the Umstead include so much that the planning on me and my husband was really quite minimal. And none of that even begins to touch on how INSANE the food was!! Good luck whittling down your choices of meals and hor d'oeurves, because they were all spectacular and delicious. I cannot thank this venue enough! You will want to book your wedding here!!

Oh my gosh! Where do I start???!!! First of all, I’m a photographer in the industry and have been shooting weddings for 15 years so I knew exactly where I wanted to get married! The Umstead did not disappoint and exceeded my expectations 100 times over. From the room, to the food, to the attention to every little detail I was blown away by them. We ended up extending our stay by 4 days!! My parents wouldn’t even stay with us(we’re local) because they love the hotel so much! None of us wanted our time to end! I just can’t say enough good things about The Umstead and their staff. We felt like royalty!! And Amanda...I could go on and on! This is a person that is beautiful inside and out not to mention amazing at her job! Even though we have a personal relationship, she treated me with the utmost professionalism and I felt so special throughout the entire process. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it. Umstead, Amanda, Heavenly and the rest of the team, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating a magical experience for myself, Brad, our family and friends! Much love, Cara
