The family and wedding party gathered earlier for pictures. The wedding ceremony was held in an intimate setting followed by a cocktail hour then dinner and dancing in a larger building. They even had a trivia game set up in the upper floor. The venue offered everything: vast menu options, a selection of DJs to book, and even hair stylists. All of the flowers were freshly grown from the farm. Highly recommend this venue.

To date they have not done what my bank is asking to confirm the check. This is 100 percent on them for the way the check was written. I need my 490 dollars just like anyone else would in this situation. This is bad business all around. I'm a young minority trying to do business the write way. My bank is literally only asking them to send a email and they won't do it.

Wonderful venue for a wedding! This venue has a brick house feel overlooking the old Durham Bulls…read morebaseball field. The venue also hosts Indian/Hindu wedding ceremonies. The host is lovely as well. The only reason for one less star is that everything needs to be purchased/found, so essentially it take a lot of work to have party here. When I heard a chalk artist cost $500 I was shocked. However, overall, this place is fantastic and would host another event here in a heartbeat!

They allowed camping on the grounds, so some folks set up camp around the perimeter for the weekend, us less outdoorsy types stayed in a hotel back in town.

We had been here for an event years ago and recently attended a fundraiser for a local charity…read more There is not a lot of parking nearby but you can find space if you drive around. There seems to be two interior dining ares (one with an upstairs balcony) plus a patio and then an open grassy area. It looks like they host many wedding receptions and other special events. I won't comment on the food or service since ours was cooked by a guest chef and served by volunteers, but I can say from what I saw, the owners/staff would do a great job with any event.

I had been dying to check out the Cookery and finally an opportunity fell into my lap in the form…read moreof a charity dinner sponsored by Pizzeria Toro! The cookery looks great from the outside: color mural on its side-wall, fancy metal, grillwork up front along with a cool sign are the only hints of what lies inside. For this charity dinner they had a bunch of long tables set up family-style for a communal dinner. In back the bar was busy and buzzing with action. And the overall space is not huge but comfortable and lit really well. Accent lights on the rough brick walls created a lot of visual texture for the eye. The space is open but still very personal. A landing area at top was unused and a storage area up front near the ceiling housed what looks like brewing equipment for Ponysaurus (?) Overall the Cookery seems like a great space for a corporate or personal event if you don't have a huge headcount. While there isn't much else right around here, the Cookery is worth the drive out if you've got an excuse for a visit...
