The Pavilion at Carriage Farm

A beautiful wedding venue located just outside of Raleigh! A large building with tall ceilings and gorgeous chandeliers which creates the perfect ambiance for your wedding reception. There’s a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, located conveniently off the patio of the main building. The patio, with a fire pit, is the perfect place for guests to enjoy cocktail hour. There are getting ready suites onsite, as well as ample parking for your guests. The venue owners and staff are amazing, highly knowledgeable and work hard to make sure your event runs smoothly. I highly recommend The Pavilion at Carriage Farm for your upcoming wedding!

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. Katie and Shivam
