    Best wedding venue ever

    Sweet venue at St Marks Episcopal church in Huntersville. Beautiful grounds and very friendly and professional staff. Onsite church and optional onsite catering makes wedding prep easy. Friday set up is included which also lowers your wedding day stress level! Everything goes perfectly!

    This is where you want to get married!

    First, it’s beautiful. We did our ceremony at a Catholic church down the street and had our reception at the Rafters, but my favorite photos are by far the ones we took in front of the St Mark’s chapel- it’s so romantic! As a reception venue, it is very reasonably priced, and has everything you could need. We got ready in the adorable carriage house, and we also did my bridal shoot there a few weeks before the wedding- they turned out beautifully. Also, if you book with their caterer (The Flyin’ Lions), you get a discount AND support a good cause! But that’s not even the best part: their food is AMAZING. I am literally still dreaming about the salmon and mashed potatoes from my wedding day, and so many guests told me how much they loved the food. The taste testing was fun too, they have a ton of options! Also, Allison is the best coordinator EVER. You will love working with her, and every vendor I hired that had worked with her before told me the same thing! She is so personable and really gets to know you, and she will bend over backwards to help you with whatever you need. She is fantastic with communication; her responsiveness and helpfulness alone reduced my wedding planning stress. I also loved the preferred vendor list Allison provided; it made it a lot easier to narrow down our vendor choices! Allison and Debbie (from Flyin’ Lions) made our wedding and all the months leading up to it so special and wonderful; we cannot recommend them enough!

    Elegant, Comfortable, Beautiful, Fun - all wrapped in one place

    Great venue - love the quaintness of the historic church, the simple elegance of the beautiful venue space, the awesome grounds and gathering spaces, and the yummy on-site catering option. From start-to-finish, a very smooth and easy experience that created a wonderful time for all, and also created fun pictures and memories! Can't say enough good things about the responsiveness and flexibility of the event coordinator and the beauty and ease of using this venue - highly recommend!

    Beautiful All-inclusive Amazing venue

    The Rafters at Historic St. Mark's provided the ideal setting for our special day. The historic church, expansive event space, and unique gathering areas all contributed to a truly remarkable experience. Having everything from getting ready to the ceremony and reception in one place was incredibly convenient. The catering options were a hit among our guests, particularly the delectable stuffed chicken, appetizers, and delightful variety of desserts. We received numerous compliments on the food, adding to the joy of the occasion.

    Throughout the planning process, the Rafters Coordinator displayed exceptional responsiveness, addressing our queries promptly and ensuring everything ran smoothly. While the spacious campus and ample parking were convenient, there were some aspects that fell into a neutral category. Certain details did not exceed expectations but did not detract from the overall positive experience either.

    In reflection, The Rafters at Historic St. Mark's offered us a beautiful backdrop for our wedding day. The flexibility of spaces, delicious food, and attentive coordination added to the magic of the celebration. Despite a few aspects that didn't stand out, the venue's overall charm and functionality made our day unforgettable. We appreciate the efforts of the team in making our wedding a success.

    Beautiful Venue and Historic Chapel

    The Rafters at Historic St. Mark's is absolutely stunning. The venue is brand new and included all of the tables, chairs, and tablecloths we could need. One of our favorite parts about this venue was that it is located on the grounds of a historic church, and the chapel was the perfect place for our wedding ceremony. Shout out to the venue coordinator, Allison, who was extremely professional, flexible, and easy to work with. We highly recommend this venue to all couples!

    Gorgeous venue, impeccable service!

    The Rafters at St. Mark’s is simply beautiful!!! As a Wedding Planner/Designer/Coordinator I have seen my share of venues…..not only are the grounds gorgeous but the sanctuary is exquisite and the reception area is equally perfect. Best of all is the support and guidance received by their onsite wedding coordinator Allison. She went the extra mile to make sure that everything was stress free for my bride and was my right hand woman!!
    Thank you to Allison, St. Mark’s and The Rafters! I highly recommend!!

    The perfect reception venue

    We drove by this place for years, but were blown away when we finally stopped in. I am glad we did. The giant trees hide the beautiful chapel and amazing rustic reception hall. It was like stepping back in time to a simpler world.

    The staff was so easy to work with, and helped us make our reception the perfect event. I cannot recommend the Rafters enough.

    The Rafters is a hidden GEM!

    From the very first communication to the final so long, Allison with The Rafters is 100% dedicated to making your day the absolute best it can be! The venue is GORGEOUS, the grounds are BEAUTIFUL, and the church is so very special. The attention to every single detail for Brides and Grooms is what makes Allison and The Rafters so special. She has created a Bride's space and Groom's space that is so inviting and lovely, you almost don't want to leave! The people of St. Mark's have a very special gem. Trust me, you do not want to scroll on by. Pictures don't do it justice, and the coordinator, Allison, is the absolute SWEETEST, EASIEST person to work with! If I could give them a million stars I would!

    We LOVE this little church! As soon as you step foot on this campus, you'll fall in love the beautiful, romantic, and sacred grounds. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, and the small church was the perfect size for our wedding. The interior of the church was recently refurbished, so there are beautiful new carpets and altar pieces. I especially loved having access to the sweet "Bride's Suite."

    Everyone was so easy to work with, and they were very flexible for the setup and flow of the day. We were able to perfectly balance my DIY creativity and the holiness of the ceremony.

    Thank you to everyone at St. Mark's who made our big day even more perfect!

    This church was PERFECT for a medium sized wedding. It was great for wedding photos and everyone that works there is so kind and welcoming. We are so glad we chose to have our ceremony here - it's cute and quaint, and great for couples who want to get married in a church - our church meets in a gym so we wanted the actual sanctuary feel! I highly recommend it.

    The chapel and grounds at St. Mark's Church was the perfect place for our wedding! Jackie and the rest of the staff were wonderful, friendly, and easy to work with. We highly recommend this location for anyone planning to get married.
