The ceremony was held outside and the only thing I noticed was a fair bit of highway noise from Capital Blvd. After the ceremony, there was a cocktail hour in a different area, which was equally gorgeous. Last was the dinner reception. The reception area was decorated incredibly with tons of floral and lighting accents. Lots of natural light as well. The food was delicious and the staff courteous and professional. I would recommend to anyone planning an event.

Parking was made simple and with great ease.

To experience the music bouncin off the ceiling and walls - truly magical!

Went to the Candlelight: Tribute to Adele concert. Besides the concert being great, the venue (what…read morethis review is about) is definitely 5 stars or greater. The location is on Old Falls of Neuse Road in an upscale countrisque setting in the Southwest Wake Forrest area. There is a private road that provides access to parking under a covered horse show area or nicely kept grass fields. The ride to parking itself is very aestheticly pleasing. One drawback is that disabled parking is at a different address, so call ahead to get this information if you need to. The facility claims, and I am positive, it is ADA accessible; however, I did not see the elevator which is probably on the opposite side of the barn from the stairs by the bathrooms. The upstairs space is large and open. This is where concerts and weddings are held. Downstairs is a hallway with two staircases on one side of the barn and bathrooms and probably an elevator on the other. The entrance is in the middle facing a lawn that goes to parking and open areas for outside venues with outside fireplaces. Little rooms open to the center hallway exist as small sitting rooms and bar stations on the ground floor. A very incredible venue. Worth considering for a wedding, business event, concert, play, etc. Candlelight regularly hosts concerts here. Check them out at https://candlelightexperience.com/ Candlelight Concerts: Official Tickets. My companion and I had a wonderful experience attending the candlelight concert at the Historic Wakefield Barn.

Cross + Main is an event space located in NC (Wake Forest / Raleigh / Durham area)…read more I flew out there real quick to attend my nieces wedding. It was small, intimate and purposefully lowkey. The space itself was pretty solid. The interior was perfect for what she was looking for, and I certainly felt comfortable there. Big enough for a wedding reception for sure. Decent menu, good desserts and drinks. Lighting and seating were great! Does not have to be a wedding, but for any sort of party that you'd want room, catered, dancing etc, and you happen to be in Raleigh, this place should be on your short list.

We attended a sound bath event then perused the gift shop. The farm is easy to locate and offers ample parking. Haven Farm consists of aesthetic repurposed barns and stables. They decorate beautifully and utilize the areas well. The sound bath took place in a large barn. The sound quality was good, however, the barn did get chilly (the event was in the fall). After the sound bath we walked through the gift shop. The shop is filled with locally made items. I love the addition of signs displaying a picture and description of the local business who made the items.

After noticing several religious…read moreitems in their pictures, I emailed to ask if they were open to working with queer couples and got the following in response: "This venue is located at our Christian home. We personally have gay friends but we believe their behavior is a sin. I am a sinner and I believe we should love the sinner and hate the sin. The current law allows gay couples to marry. I think gay couples should respect the beliefs of others just as they want to be respected. " Clearly, they don't want to come right out and say we are not welcome, but they made it clear. Nowhere in my initial email was I disrespectful to them, so I'm not sure whey they felt the need to point out that we needed to respect their beliefs. A simple, "We can not accommodate your request at this time," would have been fine. We were not asking them to officiate our wedding. We were asking them if they would do their jobs as business owners, take our money, host our event, and keep their personal opinions to themselves. How their religious beliefs impact their business I don't really understand. It is really too bad, because as I mentioned, this venue looks absolutely gorgeous. However after the rude and frankly condescending email back, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I suggest those who support marriage equality do not support this highly unprofessional business.

There is plenty of space in the Lodge, provided tables and chairs, and a large warming kitchen, ice machine, and walk-in cooler. The check out process went smoothly! We will definitely consider renting the Campbell Lodge again for future events!

The whole place is also accessible for those in wheel chairs and has a separate mens and women's restrooms which is nice when you have a big crowd. Will post an update once the big day comes and more pictures on their way soon!
