Seven Paths Manor Reviews

The venue is beautiful! I loved how there were so many options, from where to actually do the service, to the reception spaces. It is also convenient to have on-site lodging for several of our out of town guests. Plenty of activities to do leading up to the service, and it was very helpful to have a professional to help us understand the options and make this exactly what we had envisioned. for the service to take place.

I highly recommend this venue, you won’t regret it!

I attended a wedding at Seven Paths Manor and was blown away by the beautiful venue. The staff was helpful and attentive. I would definitely recommend Seven Paths Manor to anyone planning a wedding!

As the father of two brides, I had the unique opportunity to experience Seven Paths Manor twice—and both times were absolutely exceptional. From planning to execution, everything was seamless, professional, and stress-free. The staff was organized, attentive, and genuinely cared about making each wedding feel personal and perfect.

On the wedding days, the team handled every detail flawlessly, allowing our family to fully enjoy the moment without worry. Their calm presence and attention to detail made all the difference. The venue itself is stunning, elegant, and beautifully maintained, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how smoothly everything flowed.

Seven Paths Manor is more than a beautiful venue—it’s an incredible team that treats you like family. Trusting them with two of the most important days of my life was an easy decision, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a truly outstanding wedding experience.

Great venue with tons of options. We got married in front of the pond between the trees. Staff had a lot of know-how and are professional. Even when a heatwave hit, they were able to accommodate and helped us make our wedding a beautiful, magical experience.

Attended a wedding here, everything was amazing and the property is gorgeous!

Wonderful venue staff was accommodating and adaptable during my now husband and I’s hot July wedding! Would recommend to anyone who is looking to get married, the entire experience was wonderful since the beginning! 

Seven Paths Manor is absolutely breathtaking, and the staff is truly exceptional. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make everything feel seamless and stress-free. Their décor services are stunning and elevated the entire day beautifully. The preferred vendors and well-thought-out contingency plans for weather made planning so easy and gave me complete peace of mind. Our experience was nothing short of amazing—Seven Paths Manor is truly an incredible venue!

Honestly I couldn’t be happier with the venue or the staff on my wedding day! They were so helpful and friendly and the venue is absolutely gorgeous!!! I wouldn’t have picked any other place to book my wedding!!!

We loved everything about it! It’s a beautiful venue with many different options so the couple got what they wanted!(mother of the groom here) ALL the staff were so kind and polite and helpful. They always made sure we had what we needed the whole time. Everything was set up just right and we truly didn’t have to worry about anything so we could focus on the couple and their day!

As the bride, this venue team was so patient, flexible, and helpful with all things leading up to wedding day. And then on wedding day, I felt so taken care of was able to just enjoy getting ready and taking in the moments right the day. The DOC services are 10000000% worth the extra cost. I don’t think I had to make one decision all day because they take care of everything! It was the most magical day of my entire life and I can’t thank them enough. I love that we have access to the manor for the entire day, as well as the option to jump on the pool at the end of the night, haha. Memories we will carry forever.
I had no idea what I was doing while planning my wedding, or what I wanted it to look like, and Tamra and Mikayla were extremely patient with me and gave me plenty of suggestions for layout, procedures, etc. and made sure I was taken care of all day long on wedding day.
Also, My brother in law lost his ring in the pool and a team member went in to get it so we could pick it up the next day, lol. We don’t have our photos back yet, but I wanted to include some from a friend that captured a little bit of the day.
They really care about making your day magical and unforgettable :)

We had the privilege and honor of having Casey and Cody’s wedding at your beautiful venue last Friday. It was an absolutely perfect day in every way. Tamra did an amazing job as the coordinator! She worked tirelessly on every detail along with the rest of the staff. Everyone was amazing! You even made a rain delay go super smoothly! Thank you for knowing what to do with the rain and working hard to be sure that Casey and Cody were able to have their wedding at the location that they chose. It was wonderful!

Our guests have bragged on the beauty of the venue and also how hard everyone worked to make the day go so smoothly. We will continue to sing your praises!

Thank you again for all that everyone did to be sure that Casey and Cody had the day they had dreamed of for their wedding day!

There are no words to adequately describe how amazing SPM is. Not only is it STUNNING with multiple ceremony sites to choose from (including multiple rainy-day options!), but it also has their Something Borrowed collection that basically all your décor is already bought and ready at the venue, if you choose. Everyone who works at the venue cares so much about you and your dream for your big day. Shayla, Tamra, and Joseph were always so excited and kind towards us when we would come to the SPM events to prepare. They were always so helpful and accommodating. Tamra made this experience perfect for me and my fiancé! Even in my type A personality she was able to keep me cool and collected. Even when I missed something, she didn’t. The day was PERFECT! It was so smooth and had no issues come up for us (because Tamra is a rockstar!). Tamra and SPM really did make our wedding day dreams come true. It was better than I could have ever hoped for. It was a fairytale wedding experience.

Review from the MOH: The venue was absolutely stunning, and Tamra was everything we needed her to be and more. Can’t say enough about how seamless and perfect the day was!

Review from the BMs:
- The venue was absolutely magical! Tamra was fun, approachable and professional without being overbearing. Highly recommend her!

- Tamra was efficient, caring and sensitive to our needs. She was able to balance every aspect and was able to stop in the middle of what she was doing to comfort and help the bride. The venue was magnificent!!

- The venue was incredible! Tamra was always on top of everything and made sure everything was seamlessly executed a great experience overall they made sure the wedding was beautiful.

I would 100% recommend seven paths to anyone! The whole planning process was simple and stress free with them. The something borrowed collection is also really nice and I barely had to buy any decor for my wedding. The staff were so helpful the day of my wedding

The Seven Paths Manor staff were so helpful helping guide us in planning. The made sure we were taken care every step of the way!

Working with Seven Paths Manor was AMAZING!! Everyone was so nice and wanted to do everything to ensure that our day was perfect. The location is timeless and beautiful for all the photos of the day. My girls and I loved the bridal suite and how beautiful it was and the groom and groomsmen loved the area of the grooms suite and the pool table and poker table. Working with the venue through open houses really allowed us to put together a vision of what we wanted our day to look like and actually know how it was going to look. Even with the threat of rain on our day I knew that everything would be handled and my vision would still come to life. Our guest loved the grounds and kept telling us about how gorgeous the venue, ceremony and reception was. Everyone at SPM made the wedding planning process and wedding day so memorable. Joseph even sewed my dress when my bustle broke! We used the horse and carriage service and it was a moment that made you feel like a princess and such a sweet touch for our guest. We also used the decorating service which really took a lot of stress out of the day. It truly was the perfect day!

Seven Paths Manor communication was amazing! Starting from Sheila helping with the front end of our wedding to Hannah being our day of wedding coordinator. Hannah was amazing she handled our crazy family and last minute things so smoothly. She always made sure my husband and I were good and had a drink in our hand which was a plus. I would highly recommend Seven Paths Manor for the scenery and many picture perfect moments. Sheila and her team made our wedding truly memorable!

The venue is breathtaking, the staff is phenomenal, they offer the best package ever (which included using all decor for your decorations for your ceremony & reception for FREE)!!! Joseph & Hannah was beyond amazing and patient. I appreciate them both very much, they made our day very memorable & stress free!

This venue is what dreams are made of! If you are looking for a venue that has several options and locations on the property for any vision that you have for your perfect day. It is an indoor/outdoor venue that has several options for rain.
The staff are incredible and think of everything! You will be in amazing hands with them and they will make sure that your day is the day that you have dreamed of!

My husband and I celebrated our 1 year vow renewal at SPM last weekend and it was absolutely perfect! It was better than I ever imagined! 2 years ago I found SPM on The Knot, scheduled a tour at an Open House by accident, and immediately fell in love! SPM was the only venue we toured. Shayla has been amazing to me from the first night I met her and has answered every single one of my millions of questions. She knew me by name every Open House I attended and remembered every detail about us. I mentioned the first night that I love cows. SHAYLA HAD BOB BRING 3 BABY COWS TO MY WEDDING FOR MY GUESTS AND I TO FEED! If that is not commitment to your couples experience, I don't know what is. Shayla even made an appearance on our ceremony day to see my enjoyment. Tamra and Joseph were our weekend team. They are so knowledgeable, accommodating, and helpful! They see your vision and strive to make it come to life. Our entire event was nontraditional so we had strange requests, but they made each of them come true to ensure our day was perfect and our event was extremely personalized. We had a rain scare the day of, but luckily the weather held out other than it being a little cold. We had our ceremony at the Grove, cocktail hour at the Springs, and reception at the Pavilion in mid November. If you have guests that are not up for the hike or cold, definitely have closer locations or double up locations. We envisioned the 3 different locations and they made it happen for us! We let our guests know ahead of time so they knew what to expect. We booked the weekend stay at the Manor House and let me tell you it was the best decision ever! We were able to spend Friday and Saturday taking our time decorating plus using the hot tub to relax. Our entire wedding party stayed the weekend so it let us get that extra quality time with them. The rehearsal dinner was held Friday night and ended up moving from the backyard to inside the Manor House due to the temperature drop. We were worried the Manor House could not accommodate everyone eating, but Tamra is a professional and knows the space so we had more than enough room. The bridal getting ready room? Girl, that was amazing! It makes you feel so important and glamorous. The only thing I did not account for was who slept in the bedrooms to get there. We had infants sleeping in either room so it was not well planned on my part. Keep that in mind when picking rooms. Overall, SPM and their staff are amazing!!! I'm sad that our event is over and I don't get to go back anymore :( they easily became like family over the past 2 years and I'm happy Shayla got to meet our daughter! My husband thinks I'm joking when I tell him that every year we're going to have our vow renewal at SPM hahahaha We cannot recommend this venue enough. Truly an amazing group of people! Thank you SPM for creating the most memorable reflection of our love!

We work with Seven Paths Manor all the time and they are absolutely TOP TIER! As a fellow wedding vendor I can confirm you are in the best of hands with them, THANK YOU for all you do!!!

We could not have asked for a more pleasant experience in planning our BIG day! Shayla and the entire SPM team are so genuine, knowledgeable and responsive. The venue has a huge selection of beautiful decor - this helped us tremendously! The biggest compliments were from family and friends and their experience with staff and beautiful venue. We are FOREVER grateful to SPM for creating our perfect wedding!

This venue was absolutely breathtaking! Everything I hoped for on my special day!

There are not enough words to express the amazing service we received from the staff at Seven Paths Manor. From the first initial tour of the property until our wedding day it a was unbelievable experience. They are responsive, friendly, and go above and beyond to help your dream wedding come to life. You will have no regrets choosing this venue for any of your events. Shout out to Shayla and her team for making our wedding something we will never forget!

Seven Paths Manor made our wedding day a dream come true! The staff was SO amazing and helpful and EASY to work with. I live in Maine and my husband and I wanted to have a country destination wedding. I only met with Them 2 times to discuss planning and I'll never forget the last thing they said to me, "Alright, we have everything, all you do now is show up! You have no worries. " How sweet is that. I just shared all my Pinterest boards with them and they went ABOVE and BEYOND the day of. When we arrived the day of our wedding we were blown away by all the little details and decoration. We felt SO lucky to have found them! Our wedding was too good to be true! We love you Seven Paths Manor! James and Ashleigh Tumlin

This place rocks! Me and my now WIFE could not have asked for a more beautiful place and friendly and responsive staff! We had issues with other companies getting back to us during the pandemic but not Seven Paths! They got back to us and answered all our questions and asked us questions we hadn't even thought of yet. So many options and so many ways to make this day your own! will be recommending to everyone I see get engaged!

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing this venue is. The venue coordinator, Shayla, had the utmost professionalism and full of passion for me and my now husband’s special day and weddings in general. You can really tell that she has the heart to serve her clients and genuinely cares that they have the perfect day. Throughout this process, she was always working to make sure all the details were figured out and kept contact with me about any questions I had or that she had for me. The venue was absolutely GORGEOUS. We got married in front of the Portico and it was decked out in all things Christmas. It was intimate and overlooked the gated fields and the sun was over us shining down. There was an entire crew that was there earlier than I can imagine making sure everything was handled and that we were all taken care of. The bridal getting ready suite was perfect for me and my bridesmaids. I was obsessed with the bathroom because us girls know we need that good lighting! My husband told me he really liked the grooms getting ready suite and that his groomsmen had plenty of room and space to get ready as well. There are countless photo opportunities. I thought my photographer was going to cry because she was in awe of how gorgeous the property is. Me and my husband have no regrets and we would recommend this place to any couple we know and care for because we would have full confidence knowing they would be completely taken care of and in the best of hands.

We loved our experience at Seven Paths. We rented the venue for the whole weekend to be able to sleep in the manor house with our bridal party and leverage all of the on property activities. Only downside is that it rained all day on Friday for us, and so we couldn’t actually do any of the activities (pool, kayaks, hammocks, fishing, etc.) which was pretty sad. So don’t book this venue JUST for the activities included because you may not be able to do them if the weather is bad. We LOVED the something borrowed collection and didn’t have to purchase a single decor item of our own. Overall, we had a great experience.

My husband and I got married in June! We loved having our wedding at Seven Paths Manor. Our guests found the venue to be so beautiful, organized, and elegant. We had so much positive feedback from them!

The Seven Paths Manor team was incredibly helpful, quick to answer our questions, and made sure we had a very beautiful wedding day. We were appreciative of their care and attention to detail.

Biggest perks of this venue compared to other venues:
1. The Open Houses: once you deposit as a couple, you can go to their Open Houses to play with decor, ask questions, and plan details in person!
2. The Something Borrowed Collection: they have hundreds of items for you to borrow, so there is no need to buy any decor! We used a ton of pieces from their collection for our wedding.
3. The multiple ceremony sites are amazing! There were so many places to choose from on the property. We got married in The Grove and had our social hour in the backyard, and then our reception in the pavilion. It was a dream!

We loved Seven Paths Manor, and highly recommend to couples looking for their dream venue!

I got married at Seven Paths Manor last night, and I wish I could say the experience matched the beauty of the venue—but it didn’t. From start to finish, it was messy and stressful.
When we first toured, we were helped by Joseph, and he was absolutely amazing—so professional, kind, and accommodating. Honestly, he was the entire reason we booked this venue. Unfortunately, after he moved away, things went downhill fast. I can’t help but think most of the glowing reviews here are from before his time ended.
During my final walkthrough with Shayla, I left feeling anxious instead of reassured. I had prior written approval for our rental company to drop off items Friday and pick up Monday, but Shayla immediately said, “I would have NEVER approved that” and made it clear she had an event the next day. The entire tone of the meeting made me feel like my wedding was an inconvenience instead of a priority. She also made completely unprofessional comments about other weddings, even referring to people as “she-mans.” That alone speaks volumes.

She guaranteed the gates would remain closed during the ceremony and first look—yet during my first look, cars were freely able to rolling in. That moment that should have been private and emotional was interrupted by vehicles pulling up.

Then, 5 minutes before the end of the reception, I was suddenly told we couldn’t do the grand exit we paid extra for. We had fireworks, sparklers, everything planned and approved ahead of time. Instead, guests were directed to leave, and I ended my wedding night sobbing during a “private last dance” I didn’t even want at that point. My mom and bridesmaids stood alone with sparklers while I walked to the exit vehicle that no one even got to see. It was absolutely heartbreaking after years of planning.

There were several other mishaps throughout the day that reflected disorganization and poor communication. If it weren’t for my amazing husband, our family, and what the day truly symbolized, this would have been a -10/10 experience.

To future brides: if you’re in the Raleigh, Wake Forest, or Wilmington area, spend the extra money to book somewhere closer to civilization with a team that actually cares. They advertise shuttles—yet none are available on weekends. You’re required to remove all vehicles immediately or face fines, and there’s no realistic option for an after-party since the venue is so remote.

Seven Paths Manor is a beautiful property with so much potential, but the management and coordination ruined what could have been a perfect day.
