Beth L. Sent on 03/03/2024Best Venue in Raleigh!
The Pavilion at Carriage Farm is JUST the venue I envisioned for my wedding. My (now) husband and I toured a handful of venues, but I immediately knew when I toured the Pavilion that it was “the one”. I love that the venue isn’t visible from the road which gave me, my husband, and our guests the privacy and space to really enjoy ourselves on our wedding day. And the venue itself just had so many lovely features and selling points- the spaciousness of the venue and getting ready suites, the allowance of pets, the chandeliers in the reception room, the arbor near the back patio to accommodate outdoor weddings, the string lights over the back patio, the amazing stone fireplace inside, etc. But I think what sold me the most were the huge windows that cover 3 of the 4 walls in the reception space. It gave it such a natural feel to the room and the panoramic views are just beautiful. I had several wedding guests tell me that the venue felt like a beautiful hideaway venue in the mountains of NC. My partner and I were sold on all of these things, and we loved that the venue had the potential to accommodate an indoor or outdoor wedding depending on the weather (we’re not that lucky when it comes to weather, so we weren’t going to take any chances!).
In terms of planning the wedding, the Pavilion provided us with a list of recommended vendors which really helped us narrow down the exhaustive list of options and made wedding planning so much easier. They also connected us to our wedding coordinator Alyson! She was fantastic, and it really helped us to know that she works at the venue and knows all of the ins and outs in order to give us the best wedding possible- which she did!
We would recommend the Pavilion to anyone, although I don’t think I need to sell the idea to our wedding guests- the Pavilion spoke for itself on our big day. -

We were so lucky we found the Pavilion at Carriage Farm. We were looking for a location in Raleigh that would be roomy for up to 200 people, able to support a Baraat (Indian wedding groom’s entrance), and would give the slightly rustic but elegant vibe we were going for. We had toured a few other places, but once we went to the Pavilion and met with Marti, we were sold. Pricing was much better than the other locations we had found and she even introduced us to our amazing wedding planner. There were no restrictions on getting the Indian caterers we needed and the premium bar service with signature drinks provided by Marti and her team were perfect.
The venue itself is beautifully enclosed by trees so it feels private but spacious. They have a fantastic bridal suite and also have plenty of bathrooms for guests. The main space in the hall is filled with windows that allowed the light in so perfectly during our first dance. There are also large chandeliers and a stone fireplace that make the space feel grand.
We can’t recommend this location highly enough! Thanks, Marti.

We absolutely loved our wedding at the Pavilion! It was such a beautiful venue, and offered a little bit of everything. From the beautiful barn to the elegant chandeliers, we could not have imagined our day looking more perfect. The bridal suite was amazing and so spacious, it was perfect for my bridesmaids and flower girls. We absolutely recommend The Pavilion at Carriage Farm for anyone thinking about hosting their wedding here! -

We hosted our wedding at the Pavilion at Carriage Farm on 6/25/2021. Our event was incredible - truly the most perfect day.
When looking for a wedding venue, we looked for a venue with indoor/outdoor space options that were flexible. The Pavilion has an incredible indoor space and fully customizable outdoor space options.
During the wedding planning process, Marti was so helpful and responsive, answering any questions when we had and allowing us to come onsite to visit when we needed to leading up to the big day!
As a pandemic couple who had to reschedule our wedding twice (third time's the charm!) the Pavilion was so flexible and reassuring during this process. We absolutely loved this wedding venue and could not recommend it more. -

Marti and the team at the Pavilion at Carriage Farm became our rock during Wedding planning. We faced many challenges during the 2020 calendar year, yet Marti and her team always had our back. They were always responsive in helping us coordinate our big day, and executed flawlessly on the day-of. The venue itself is beautiful and speaks for itself. However, the support of the team there kept all our plans progressing and brought it all together. We had the venue during the whole day for preparation, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We also rented the space for our catered rehearsal dinner the night before, and the Pavilion provided bartenders and alcohol for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. There were a ton of moving pieces that they were able to take care of for us. (We had the option to coordinate these items ourselves, but we are very happy with the service the staff provided and it was less things for us to worry about). Overall, Marti and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with, and again, the Pavilion itself is absolutely beautiful for a Wedding. We strongly recommend! -

Thao Sent on 07/26/2017We wanted a unique venue that wasn't in a banquet hall or too outdoor country and the Pavilion at Carriage Farm was perfect! It's on a horse farm and just simple southern elegance. Our ceremony was behind the Manor or you can have it under the tree in front of the pond. We got married 5/28 so it was hot during the ceremony in the sun, but the Pavilion has fans and the lobby area is air conditioned. We booked this venue when the Pavilion was just a big patch of dirt, so it was exciting to watch them build it. They provide tables and chairs: 25-60" rounds, 2-48" rounds, 5-6' longs, 10 cocktails, 2 sets of 200 chairs. We only had to rent bar tables and brought our own alcohol (huge money saver). You have to choose from a list of caterers, and while we would have liked more options, we hired Rocky Top and they were delicious. They provide shuttle carts between sites, I think driven by their kids, which is really cute. You can also walk, but it's not easy in heels. The guys got ready in the Pavilion groom room, and my bridal party got ready in the Manor, which is stunning! The new bridal suite wasn't ready for our wedding (which we knew when we booked), but I bet it's gorgeous. The reception area is open on the sides, so it feels like you're outside. This is great for kids because they can run and have fun, and you'll get amazing photos at sunset. They have chandeliers, a huge stone fireplace, and a stone patio (perfect for cocktail hour), so you don't need to decorate much. Alex handled reservations and after we booked, all communication was with the owner. Marti is such a sweet lady and so helpful and flexible. We didn't use the venue for our rehearsal, so she gave us 2 extra hours for setup. We DIY'ed a ton of stuff, including linen, decor, flowers, instruments, etc., so those extra hours were life-saving! The owners really seem like sweet, caring people. This venue is on their home property so a lot of care and attention is given to make sure the venue is beautiful.
