    Beautiful Wedding Venue!

    The meadows is the most amazing wedding venue! The houses on property give the bride and groom ample space to get ready to feel like the star of the show. All the spaces are so well maintained and stocked that it truly feels like a home away from home. Not only is the property gorgeous but the team behind the show really does it all. Nicole + team were able to answer every question and worry before the big day, and they pulled out all the stops to give us a dream wedding. We are so grateful for all the work that was put into our special day and cannot recommend the meadows enough!!

    Classic NC Feel

    We were lucky enough to get married here in December! I remember instantly feeling so happy and peaceful as soon as we arrived to tour the venue for the first time and felt that way each time we've been back since. We fell in love with the beautiful North Carolina outdoors, amazing outdoor and indoor ceremony space options, and separate houses for getting ready. The venue is rustic but modern and has a beautiful, classic NC feel while also feeling as comfortable and fun and as your favorite brewery. It's truly unique from a lot of the other venues in the area.

    We also were able to utilize a lot of decor and features that the venue offers--gorgeous...

    Couldn't have asked for more

    Choosing to work with the Meadows was easily the best decision my wife and I made about our wedding planning. Lindsay was absolutely fantastic, great in offering recommendations and made sure our special day went off without a hitch. I always felt supported leading up to the event and I'm still receiving compliments about the wedding months afterward. 10/10 couldn't recommend more.

    Amazing venue and team!

    The Meadows and their team were amazing! We loved that the venue has so many options for ceremony spaces, two full houses for getting ready, and lots of indoor and outdoor room for the reception. It gave each part of the wedding it's own space and moment, but still felt intimate. The team worked so hard to pull our vision together and will go above and beyond to help however they can. Our day was perfect and that's all due to The Meadows, their planning team, and their coordination with vendors!

    Our dream wedding!

    Lindsay & the team at Firefly Farms made our dream wedding more than we could've ever imagined. They even helped us bring our cars to the venue and helped integrate them as an art piece in our reception. Everything on our wedding day was absolutely perfect from the harpist to the florals. A huge thank you to the team at The Meadows for making our day more than we could've ever imagined.

    Beautiful venue + modern style created the BEST atmosphere!

    The Meadows is a hidden gem amongst the Triangle area! The location is sprawling and natural, just what we were looking for, with a vast variety of ceremony spots to choose from. Our bridal party loved staying the night before in the 2 houses on the property and significantly reduced the stress of wedding morning! Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the venue, most of whom had no idea it was there, having lived in the area. The staff were so kind and always had smiles. A huge plus is the numerous shooting locations for photos! Seriously consider The Meadows!

    The Meadows was the absolute perfect place to get married! Stunning ceremony site options and very accommodating!

    We absolutely loved getting married at The Meadows. The staff were so kind, supportive, and helpful from the very begging of the wedding planning process all the way through till the end of reception. The Meadows offers a variety of ceremony site options on their property and we even changed our location several times throughout the planning process. They were accommodating every time and made our wedding dreams come true!! Everyone was so friendly and it truly was the perfect day!

    Breathtaking and worth every penny!

    I could not imagine getting married anywhere else! It feels like you are in the mountains but you are right there in Raleigh. It is private and absolutely breathtaking. When you book with the meadows you receive so many perks and added benefits that you don't really get anywhere else (trust me I looked). I would get married there over and over again. They are the sweetest and made my day so so special! Love them all and this venue so much :)

    Perfect location

    We're so happy we discovered and decided on The Meadows. It was the most beautiful venue, with so much space for celebrating. Emily, their venue manager, was a pleasure to work with.

    Perfect Change in Plans

    The Meadows was not our original wedding venue, but after having our wedding date postponed twice due to Covid, we decided to elope. We wanted to still be able to get married somewhere beautiful and affordable, and the Meadows was perfect for this. We were there for 2 hours, which was perfect for our elopement. Working with them was so easy and hassle-free. Would definitely recommend!

    It was a such a pleasure working with Emily and The Meadows team! They made all of our necessary last minute changes a breeze amidst this crazy COVID-19 pandemic. It was a beautiful outdoor venue and you won’t regret having your wedding there.

    The magical meadows!

    I knew from the second I stepped foot at The Meadows, that it would be the place we got married. Honestly it was love at first sight. From the outdoor bathtubs, to the wooded nook with logs to sit on, to the golden meadows themselves, to a garden literally growing on top of the bar... all of it was pure magic. The team you get with The Meadows is hands down the most professional team I have ever seen in action. They made sure everything was ready to go smoothly leading up to our big day, and even on the big day they helped in any way possible! Okay and lets just talk about the furniture for a sec......

    the PERFECT wedding venue

    Where do I even begin...Got married at the Meadows earlier this month, and to say it was the perfect venue almost feels like an understatement. It was EXACTLY what my husband and I envisioned for our wedding- a beautiful ceremony in the fields, dinner under a lit up tent as the sun was setting, and a space for people to dance, lounge, drink, and just be in good company :) There was a place for everyone to just do what they want and celebrate us. (Side note- I feel like a majority of our guests kept raving about the venue when congratulating us and we had 350+ guests so that's saying a lot).

    Ana and her team at...

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved getting to know you two, and it was such an honor to host your beautiful wedding!!

    You two were real gems, and it was such a joy for us to work with your amazing vendors to make your wedding day!

    Venue of our dreams!

    My husband and I were lucky enough to book The Meadows at Firefly Farm Preserve early on (our wedding was October 2018), when it was still new. We were blown away by the staff (we worked with Hannah mostly - she was amazing!) and the venue itself. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and the buildings have been newly constructed, so everything is nice and new, yet doesn't look out of place with the natural surroundings. We didn't have one complaint with the venue. It was very private, naturally beautiful, and felt special (even starting at the long driveway bringing you into the grounds). Hannah was so great to work with and truly cared about our experience. I love how...

    So many options, great people to work with, beautiful grounds!

    Where can I start? The Meadows was perfect for my husband, Joe, and I. We were having a hard time deciding where to book, and once we met Anna, Kelly and Hannah, we felt so sure in our decision. It was like talking to old friends. We were the first wedding to include dogs in the ceremony and on the grounds, and Anna was super open to it! We have 4 small Jack Russells, and they can be a handful! But Anna worked with us so we could have piece of mind with having them there. There are so many options when it comes to this venue, for ceremony or reception. We wanted super bohemian vibe, the ability to...

    You are too sweet (in tears!!) We loved getting to know you two (and the pups too!) We are honored we got to celebrate with you and Joe, and provide the perfect space for your dream wedding day! Don't be strangers, and pop in for a visit!

    The perfect place for a perfect day

    Our wedding was the most perfect day ever thanks in a large part to the wonderful people at The Meadows! This crew really went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. They had all the furniture we needed, provided plenty of lawn games, and we didn’t have to do much extra to decorate. They even built a grate to go over their fire pit just so we could have s’mores cones. The entire venue is gorgeous, spacious, and full of so many unique and darling details. My only regret is that we didn’t rent it for the whole weekend!

    The Meadows at Firefly Farm Preserve's reply:

    Your wedding was so beautiful! (love the smoke bomb pictures, they are the coolest!)

    We loved getting to know you guys and to give you the perfect day. We wish you two the best future together and fun adventures!

    Perfection!

    There aren't enough words to describe how perfect The Meadows is. We would have a wedding there every single weekend if we could. We just had our wedding a few weeks ago and we heard nothing but compliments from all of our guests. They have truly thought of everything to make your wedding day so special. We even held our welcome dinner at The Meadows. Thank you to Anna, Hannah, Kelley, and the rest of the amazing staff! We are forever thankful for you guys!

    All I can say is OMG!

    All I can say is OMG! This venue was so perfect for my wedding day and I was obsessed with it. All of my guests were complimenting how nice it was and how welcoming the staff was. So worth the money to have your wedding here. So many ceremony options and the whole thing was so stress free! Even the bathrooms were beautiful. Loved the whole look and feel of this little sanctuary and couldn’t be more happy with the venue and the team. They made my wedding day so special!

    A Perfect Mix of Beautiful

    Having our wedding at The Meadows was an easy choice for us. We loved the versatility of the indoor and outdoor options and the fact that it’s a perfect mix of beautiful on its own, yet simple enough for any décor to look amazing. Every time we went back between when we booked the venue and our wedding day, something was upgraded, and each renovation was better than the last. Being able to spend the full day hanging out and getting ready with our wedding parties at the venue was another feature that sold the venue to us. Thank you!

    The event itself was magical!

    We had an incredible time here for our wedding at The Meadows. The Meadows was our second location after we had to change our original date and venue due to covid. They were incredibly accommodating with the quick turnaround.
    Throughout the whole process, the whole staff was beyond kind and answered all of our questions quickly and professionally.
    The event itself was magical! Both houses on the property were equipped with everything the guys and the gals needed to relax and get ready for the day. The grounds are gorgeous and wonderfully manicured.
    We cannot express enough how amazing the staff was before, during and after the event!!
    Our favorite day ever!! If you have a wedding coming up, please please please check out the Meadows in Raleigh!!!
