They even had a alpaca in a top hat - hard to beat that! However, the thing that stood out most was the genuinely caring staff. I'm embarrassed to say I had a little to much to drink that evening but without going into too much graphic detail I will just say that the staff went above and beyond to make sure I got back to my hotel safely. They even drove me back in their own vehicles and made a point to text my fiance in order to check up on me the next day. I would highly recommend this venue for all your event needs, you and your guests will definitely be in great hands.

Email I sent to Brenda Leeper,…read more I want to thank you for all your help in decorating "the barn" for the Rehearsal Dinner. It was so beautiful and Matt and Ellie were so happy with it! Even the rain on the rooftop added to the atmosphere. You are such a talented, sweet, genuine person and it was my pleasure meeting you! You are the best at putting people at ease. The "Wedding and Reception" were like a fairytale, more beautiful than words can describe. The lightning made it look magical! I highly recommend Chapel Hill Carriage House. My family thought it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to and we have had many beautiful weddings at our family home on the Pamilico River! Best regards, Fran

If your type is big, strong and handsome [BUILDINGS!], Full Frame Theater's Boiler Room has YOUR name all over it (him? her?). This incredible space welcomes guests entering Full Frame Theater, as well as sometimes its neighbor, The Power Plant Gallery. It's a VERY unique event venue flanked by mammoth coal-fired boilers that were used in the original building. You can admire the elevator shaft to the right of the front door, or envision the unseen inside (but very visible outside) base of the Lucky Strike smokestack which The Boiler Room "horeshoes" around. Enormous windows, concrete floors and brick walls give this space the perfect impression for any event [can I plan my next birthday party here?!] No space has ever scream contemporary meets historic so clearly! Plus, doors are open 9am-midnight, SEVEN days a week, so there truly is no reason to miss this drool-worthy space. Secret tip: it's air-conditioned and they've got tall-topped tables and chairs inside along the massive windows. This would be the perfect get-away from the office or {indoor} picnic lunch spot.

Unfortunately, it was raining pretty hard when we arrived so I wasn't able to take photos of the outside building. It was a pretty large space. It was obviously renovated to be a venue for events. It has a modern industrial feel. The walls were distressed brick. There is a covered patio out the back doors that led to a cocktail area. To the side there is a grassy area as well. The bathrooms are immediately to your right as you come in. There are ample parking lots in the back. I found this to be a beautiful venue. Even though I probably won't be in the area again, I would definitely come back!

I knew the buffet would be…read moresmall because the price is super cheap, and I will admit everything on the buffet was very tasty, my problem with it was not a single thing on the buffet was hot! Most of the items were barely lukewarm. He did bring out fresh meatloaf, and the meat was warm but the glazing on top was ice cold! They really need to check the temperatures of their food, definitely not healthy to allow their food to be this cool.

This place has my vote! I couldn't decide between the buffet or ordering from the menu which you…read morecan do either at this location for breakfast and lunch. I decided on the buffet and while I waited for my waitress to come back so that I could tell her, I noticed that another customer at the buffet, where she pulled the ladle out full of grits, then dipped her finger in, tasted the grits, and put the ladle back. I told the waitress discreetly, and a few minutes later the manager/owner came out of the kitchen and pulled the entire container of grits from the buffet. Never have I ever seen a customer do that, but I'm so glad I did, and I'm glad that they took immediate care of it. Now for the food. It could've been a little warmer, but it was still pretty good. I will give them another try for lunch and probably just play it safe by ordering from the menu.

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.
