Bespoke space
We learned of Forest Hall from my MIL who had gone to a wedding there. When we got engaged we went for a tour and booked! They gave us a first responder discount, which was incredibly thoughtful. They also told us that they were renovating their bridal suite! The price point of the venue was perfect and the included chairs and gorgeous farm tables makes it even better. There are beautiful market lights that add the perfect ambiance to the space. The huge windows and original wood floors are beautiful. Greg and Danielle were amazing to work with and we appreciate how flexible and responsive they were. They had little touches in the bridal suite for all your emergency needs. You can also add on the lounge area for the groom and groomsmen. It is attached to The Sycamore, the restaurant next door (which is so good and you need to try as well). That space is perfect for the guys to hang out before the ceremony and makes for great photos. If you are looking for an outdoor ceremony they have a lovely space outside to accommodate! I cannot recommend Forest Hall enough!We learned of Forest Hall from my MIL who had gone to a wedding there. When we got engaged we went for a tour and booked!

A venue that has everything you need in one spot!
Forest Hall is a wedding venue that can adapt to indoor or outdoor needs, offers a mix of historical, vintage, rustic and industrial, and provides a private, secluded option for any set up you wish. The staff and catering are awesome- so helpful and kind throughout the process- and flexible to meet needs and wishes. Highly recommend!Forest Hall is a wedding venue that can adapt to indoor or outdoor needs, offers a mix of historical, vintage, rustic and industrial, and provides a private, secluded option for any set up you wish.

Beautiful, cozy, and flexible
From our first tour of Forest Hall, my husband and I knew it was the venue for us. The space is beautiful and customizable, but more importantly the staff and ownership are kind, caring, and fantastic at their jobs. Our entire family and bridal party were impressed with the venue manager, Danielle's, efficiency and organization, and how well she kept our rehearsal and wedding day running smoothly. Danielle, Greg, and their team are some of the best in the business, and they made sure our wedding was every bit as beautiful as we had imagined and then some.From our first tour of Forest Hall, my husband and I knew it was the venue for us.

Perfect wedding
My son and his wife were married here last Saturday. I cannot say enough about the entire staff. From set up to food to making sure everyone was where they needed to be, they were incredible. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host an event!My son and his wife were married here last Saturday. I cannot say enough about the entire staff.

Wonderful venue & staff!
Forest Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding. The team was so helpful, accommodating, professional, and responsive from the day we toured. It was more than worth the price & our wedding turned out more perfect than we could’ve ever imagined! Special thanks to Jessica for helping us coordinate and plan leading up to the big day. Also— the food through 39West was to die for! We received so many compliments on how great the food was (and the venue)! 10/10 recommend!Forest Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding.

Absolutely Perfect!
This venue was a dream! I used their in-house catering service, as well as their in-house wedding coordinator and I was absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. My coordinator was Danielle Connor and she was kind, organized and fun to work with! The venue is clean and gorgeous. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this venue.This venue was a dream! I used their in-house catering service, as well as their in-house wedding coordinator and I was absolutely thrilled with how it turned out.

Super unique venue with great charm!
My husband and I got married at Forest this past spring. We planned our wedding in a little over 6 months. The venue was extremely flexible with our timing and Danielle, our coordinator, was amazing to work with. She and her assistant decorated the night before and day of which made it stress free for us and our friends and family. The outdoor games were great and we rented the lounge set - our guests loved it. Highly recommend!My husband and I got married at Forest this past spring.

Amazing Venue & Owner
When we first visited Forest Hall when we were shopping around for wedding venues, it was recently under new ownership. The new owner, Greg, showed us around and shared his vision for how the place could look a year later when our wedding would be. We're so happy we selected Forest Hall for our wedding.
The space was perfect for us. The exposed brick and wooden floor and tables were lovely. We loved having a dining area, a dance floor in another room, and an amazing outdoor space for the reception, cocktail hour, corn hole, and a chance to get away from the dance party inside. The venue also served us very well for the Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner.
Greg was especially helpful coordinating everything with many of our vendors to get the rentals taken care of, including the tableware, tent, and lights. Greg was incredibly helpful and so great to work with throughout this entire process. Between Greg and our Event Planner (Timeless Events NC), so many things got taken care of that we simply did not have to worry about on our special day, and we're so grateful for all the help you provided.

I highly recommend any couple planning their wedding to reach out to Nathan and Anissa. I've worked with Nathan and Anissa to coordinate multiple weekend training seminars for over 100 people. They are great to work with! With their experience and support, everything went smoothly and better than expected. Nathan and Anissa gave a lot of time and attention to me and all of my questions. In addition to giving countless hours on site before and at the seminars, they were very responsive, always a phone call or text away. Their positive, patient, and encouraging attitude was so helpful when I would get stressed out with all of the details and big picture ideas. Nathan and Anissa go above and beyond!

The wedding venue of dreams!
We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Forest Hall. The space was warm and welcoming with plenty of flexibility for outdoor and indoor options. The owners of the space were very accommodating and flexible - we were able to visit the venue multiple times during our engagement to test out different decorations and layouts. Forest Hall was also a winner in terms of value - the venue rental price is very reasonable and includes tables and chairs. The location is so naturally beautiful that you don't need many decorations, which is also quite cost effective. Also - pictures in this space are BEAUTIFUL. Lighting is gorgeous, the colors come together richly, and you cannot beat the buildings' old character (those original hardwood floors are to die for!).
Both my fiance and I have said that we'd get married at Forest Hall again in a heartbeat. -- it will be a place that will always hold a special place in our hearts.We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Forest Hall.

Beautiful Wedding in a Beautiful Venue
This venue is beautiful! During the day, it is naturally lit, and the windows are absolutely stunning. At night, the market lighting makes for an intimate and homey environment. The chairs and tables are beautifully crafted as well, and match the decor of the space well. Acoustically, everyone could hear any speeches or really music clearly, and the sounds turned out well in videos as well. Our wedding was in the winter, so we didn’t use the outside space, except for photos — and from our experience, there’s a great diversity of awesome places to take stunning photos in. The dance floor was a great size as well. Finally, the Forest Hall Staff made sure our day was perfect by setting up everything we needed, and the place was in perfect condition. All in all, a great experience at an amazing venue!This venue is beautiful! During the day, it is naturally lit, and the windows are absolutely stunning.

Beautiful industrial venue with so many options!
I got married here in October 2019. This venue is the best. We absolutely loved the style of the venue, the versatility, and the natural beauty! We felt like we barely had to decorate at all because the space was so beautiful on its own. Exposed wood beams, wood floors, cream walls, and farm lights. It was just so pretty. They also include these incredible farm tables in the rental of the space that made us so happy. We did not want ugly plastic tables with tablecloths, so having these beautiful custom farm tables for our guests just made the space perfect. It looked so classy and put together. Loved it. The outdoor space is where we had our ceremony and it was beautiful and versatile. We love Forest Hall and the owner, Aneesa. She's a gem!I got married here in October 2019. This venue is the best.

Checked all our boxes and then some!
Forest Hall was the first venue I checked out when we started planning; I had four other venue tours scheduled that week, but every tour after that just made me more certain that we’d already found our sweet spot. It checked every box we had and others we hadn’t even thought about yet: lots of big beautiful windows to let in natural light, romantic market lights for after dark, separate spaces for both ceremony and reception, gorgeous indoor AND outdoor space, fabulous farmhouse tables and chairs – the list goes on. The place gave me butterflies. Another important detail – the venue manager, Aneesa, is probably the sweetest and friendliest human being you’ll ever meet. I had a lot of questions as this was the beginning of our planning process, and she was amazingly helpful from the get-go. She positively exudes enthusiasm and a genuine desire to help you have the best possible experience – not just on your wedding day, but throughout the process of planning for it. After we booked, I started following the Forest Hall Instagram, and it was evident that Aneesa and her team absolutely pour themselves into every wedding, and into making this venue the best it can be. There were ongoing improvements leading up to our wedding (a dimmer for the market lights, newly sanded and stained farm tables), which just made me more excited and confident in our choice. I’ve been gushing about Forest Hall since we booked it and haven’t stopped even now that that wedding is over. In fact, my new sister-in-law and her fiancee loved it so much that they booked it for their wedding in May. We can’t wait to celebrate love and family all over again in this magical place!Forest Hall was the first venue I checked out when we started planning; I had four other venue tours scheduled that week, but every tour after that just made me more certain that we’d already found our sweet spot.

Forest Hall at Chatham Mills is the absolute best!
My husband and I got married at Forest Hall at Chatham Mills a week ago today!! We are still swooning over how perfect our day was. When we first toured Forest Hall we immediately fell in love and knew it was the venue for us! We love the industrial look with just a little bit of rustic. This venue provides the beautiful farm tables as well as chairs and the cute market lights plus so much more!! We love that Forest Hall also allowed us to choose our own vendors and make it what we wanted. We would recommend Forest Hall to everyone we know, we had the best experience! Also, check out their open houses that is where we found most of our amazing vendors!My husband and I got married at Forest Hall at Chatham Mills a week ago today!!

Perfect Venue!
Forest Hall was exactly what my fiancé and I were looking for. It has stunning old factory windows that really set the mood. Beautiful wood floors and large farm tables were a huge selling point for us. The industrial overhead lights were stunning as well. This venue has so many photo opportunities come rain or shine. It also has several ceremony and reception options. Forest hall was the perfect venue!Forest Hall was exactly what my fiancé and I were looking for.

Forest Hall at Chatham Mills-- The perfect Venue!
Forest Hall at Chatham Mills was the perfect venue for my wedding reception! The owners are wonderful to work with and were very flexible in scheduling walk throughs for us. I love the exposed brick, all of the natural light, the beautiful farmhouse tables that are included with the rental, and all of the nooks that could be used for DJ, cake, photo booth, caterer, etc! I also love that there are two "sides" of the venue that can be used as a dance floor area, dining area, ceremony area, really whatever you would like! I don't think I could have picked a more beautiful venue-- everything was clean and set up just perfectly!Forest Hall at Chatham Mills was the perfect venue for my wedding reception!

NOT Only For Weddings!!!
I had a surprise birthday party at Forest Hall - one for the books! The venue was simply perfect - rustic and elegant, spacious, the natural light made the space bright and cheery. Held 140 guests very comfortably. Aneesa and Hannah were a joy to work with, and no detail was too small to work through with them. Their flexibility and calming demeanor helped make the planning and the day of the event go off without a hitch! Cannot WAIT for the NEXT significant life event to celebrate there!I had a surprise birthday party at Forest Hall - one for the books!

Do not pass up!
My husband and I found Forest Hall 2 years ago and we were SO excited to be getting married there 2 years later. Every step of the way has been easy with Aneesa (venue owner) and her team. The venue is breathtakingly STUNNING, not to mention all the upgrades that have recently been added. There is plenty of room for the dance floor to get bumping and also other people to sit and just enjoy the wedding. Also, the grounds are beautiful and some of our guests chose to stay outside and play games. Whatever your needs and wants are, 100% Forest Hall can deliver. We cannot say thank you enough and there are no words to describe how special Forest Hall made our wedding.My husband and I found Forest Hall 2 years ago and we were SO excited to be getting married there 2 years later.

Forest Hall TRULY is Incredible
I would wholeheartedly recommend choosing Forest Hall for your special event. I truly do not think a more beautiful venue or more caring team exists.
We had our wedding here in May 2019. Here are some of the reasons we love Forest Hall.
**The Team is Awesome** We met Aneesa on our first visit to Forest Hall at an Open House (which we definitely recommend attending!) and Tara was our event-day host. Their optimism, enthusiasm, and professionalism are amazing. Aneesa answered questions honestly & helpfully, made time for us, and encouraged us. Tara connected with our families at the event (and is one of my MIL's new favorite people, now!). When I asked my husband what he wanted me to include in this review he said, "The staff, to me, is what sets them apart." The team is so genuinely kind and also knowledgeable; they bring the energy you want surrounding your wedding!
**It's Gorgeous, Y'all.** We looked at lots of really beautiful spaces in Durham, Raleigh, Hillsborough, and Chapel Hill. Forest Hall was the last place we looked because it immediately exceeded the others. As other people have said, it does not even require a lot of decoration because its stunning on its own. I would describe it --- but seriously, just go look at their photos and soak it up! Or set up a tour! :)
**Flexibility** Forest Hall provided us a lot of flexibility. They offered access to the space throughout planning. We could bring any vendors we preferred. We could use outdoor and indoor spaces on the event day. They allowed us to drop off larger items early since the space was not used the prior evening. There are so many different ways to layout your event & the team will gladly share ideas. We loved getting to customize our event to suit our personalities!
**It's an Inclusive Venue** Or, as we say, "Y'all means ALL y'all". I love that Forest Hall makes it clear they would be honored to host events for all community members. Everyone receives their warm welcome.
**Value** When I first started researching, I could not believe the price tags attached to many wedding venues. Forest Hall allowed us to have the wedding our of dreams without feeling stressed or guilty about the financial aspect. In addition to pricing their venue affordably, they will gladly provide advice on other budget-friendly wedding planning ideas.
We could not say enough wonderful things about our experience here & would 100% recommend you look closely at Forest Hall for your event!I would wholeheartedly recommend choosing Forest Hall for your special event. I truly do not think a more beautiful venue or more caring team exists.
We had our wedding here in May 2019. Here are some of the reasons we love Forest Hall.
**The Team is Awesome** We met Aneesa on our first visit to Forest Hall at an Open House (which we definitely recommend attending!) and Tara was our event-day host. Their optimism, enthusiasm, and professionalism are amazing. Aneesa answered questions honestly & helpfully, made time for us, and encouraged us.

Aneesa is such a wonderful soul to work with! As soon as I met her, I knew that I wanted to have my wedding at Forest Hall not only because of the beautiful place but because I loved her bubbly sweet personality. She has remained in contact with us throughout the planning process although we live 5 hours away. Forrest Hall is the best bang for your buck! The venue is SO pretty and a perfect spot to hold a wedding. Thanks so much for everything!Aneesa is such a wonderful soul to work with!

Amazing Wedding Venue!
Last year after my husband and I got engaged, we narrowed down our wedding venue choices to visit in person to 6 in the Raleigh Durham Triangle area. Forest Hall happened to be having an open house during our visit day, and it was by far the top choice for both us. We almost hesitated because we thought the distance was a little far out at first, but I'm so glad that we didn't! The venue really was not that far from our host hotel in Chapel Hill, and was a straight shot to drive to. Being able to choose our own vendors for everything really sold us on this venue! We ended up using a lot of their recommendations for vendors, but also brought in our own choices as well, which really made our wedding magical! Aneesa, the venue owner was so easy to work with throughout the process, and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had! She also made quite a few upgrades to the venue before this year's wedding season that were definitely an added bonus! Having planned our wedding and found a vendor 11 months out, I was nervous that during the walk-through I might have second thoughts or regrets, but I absolutely didn't!!
The day of our wedding was perfect! The beauty of the rustic/industrial setting is unmatched, and the beautiful tree out back was the perfect setting for our outdoor ceremony! The venue size was easily able to accommodate our wedding size of about 140. We loved having the separate room from the dinner tables to use for cocktail hour and later on the reception. Our Forest Hall venue host, was fabulous! She made sure that we had everything we needed for the entire wedding day, and she was so much fun! In addition, Forest Hall does make you hire a day of coordinator, which is absolutely necessary. You don't have to choose their company, Harmony Weddings, but you should because they are amazing as well!
If you want a beautiful wedding setting with rustic or industrial style, high ceilings, beautiful wooden floors, great floor plan, neutral palates, great people to work with, and flexibility, this is your venue!!!

The Best Team for an Amazing Venue
There is not a single thing I would change about my wedding at Forest Hall last weekend! From the beautiful industrial beams to the tall open ceilings to the rustic farm tables and chairs to the and quiet cozy bridal room, the venue is perfect for anyone who wants a magical day. The wide windows let in the perfect light into the Hall for your ceremony and as night comes, the market lights, which come with the venue, make everything so romantic. The walk out to the car, which we did with a sparkler exit, is so beautiful for photos with the venue gleaming behind you with the lights on. But by far, what is best about Forest Hall is the incredible team that is there to support you and take care of you AND your family! Bethany and Aneesa from Harmony Wedding are the most amazing planners, who, of course, are incredibly organized and detailed and patient, but also are just fantastic human beings who checked in on my family and my husband’s family to make sure we are all enjoying the day. Even though it suddenly started raining in the middle of the ceremony-which threw off our plans for an outdoor cocktail hour with a food truck-Aneesa and Bethany went out back and forth to the truck themselves to serve the food to all our guests, who stayed indoors for cocktails while the rest of the team flipped the reception hall. Bethany made sure I was eating (and drinking :)) and I had so much fun the whole night. Don’t even hesitate to work with Forest Hall- it will be the best decision you’ll ever make!There is not a single thing I would change about my wedding at Forest Hall last weekend!

The most beautiful venue!
Even before my husband and I were engaged, we discussed what kind of venue we may want, and we both really liked the restored mill look. By pure luck, my husband happened to see Forest Hall on the internet one day, though it was still very new! We were SO excited about it, and he had actually surprised me and set up a tour for the weekend after we got engaged. I think we pretty much expected to fall in love with it in person, and we did — from the quality of service of the owners to the beautiful, natural look of the venue itself, it was the perfect choice for us. We loved having the freedom to pick our own vendors but also having guidance of recommended ones from their website, and decorating the beautiful space was so easy, since it looks amazing even without it. I know Forest Hall is always constantly improving, and I can’t wait to see the future weddings there. If you want a beautiful, rustic venue in the Triangle, I’d never stop recommending this to you.Even before my husband and I were engaged, we discussed what kind of venue we may want, and we both really liked the restored mill look.

The Perfect Choice
I fell in love with Forest Hall after being invited to their very first open house. As a wedding planner myself, I've had exposure to many beautiful wedding venues in my career but there was something uniquely special about Forest Hall and I knew when it was my time to get married, it had to be there! If the perfect balance of industrial chic and southern charm wasn't enough, Aneesa and her team are simply the best. From the very beginning they worked with me to execute my wedding vision perfectly. When my wedding day finally came, I didn't have to worry about a thing, and it was so comforting as a planner to be able to sit back and enjoy my day stress free.
I have also worked with several other brides to execute their wedding day at Forest Hall and it has always been an enjoyable experience. Even if you have never been to Pittsboro, NC it's worth the drive to check out Forest Hall if you are a bride/groom to be. You will not be disappointed!I fell in love with Forest Hall after being invited to their very first open house.
