Joy walked us through 16 different meads, and was so wonderful to chat with. All were great and I've tried a lot of meads. If you like sweet and even savory, this is for you. The best meadery in the area (Durham included). Favorites were: Gallberry Traditional, Blackberry, Spiced Apple, Elderberry Most interesting flavors: Ginger, Honey Cloer, Nordic Blend Thank you Joy, we will return!

We stopped in on a Friday afternoon, thinking places would be open for lunch; many of the bars and restaurants don't open during the weekday until later for dinner time. So definitely make sure to check hours of operation of the individual food/drink places. We were able to grab a drink at one of the bars at lunch and the Jamaican spot on the property. And also visited the Meadery. This is such a great idea and I hope more outdoor food hall type venues start popping up around the country. We need more cool off the beaten path places like The Plant. 9/10 recommend.

My husband and I chose The Skyroom NC for our wedding, and it was without question the best decision we could have made. When we visited in December 2024, the property was still under construction, but after meeting Jen Schaefer and hearing her vision for the space, we were instantly sold. The venue offers a spacious layout surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, with thoughtfully designed walking paths, outdoor seating, and a seamless indoor/outdoor bar. It also includes a bridal suite, groom's suite, childcare area, and unique seating options that give the space so much character. For our reception, we chose round tables with eight guests per table, and everyone was comfortable. The setup created a generous dance floor right in front of our sweetheart table--perfect for letting everyone get their groove on. The entire evening felt magical. I loved everything from the outdoor ceremony details, cocktail hour and a sparkler exit. Everything flowed seamlessly. Jen and her team were exceptional, and I'll forever be grateful for their thoughtfulness and dedication to making our wedding day even more perfect than we imagined. If you're considering The Skyroom NC for an event, don't hesitate. You won't regret it--I promise!

I recently attended a wedding at this venue and wanted to share how wonderful this was…read more For an outdoor wedding, the view was beautiful. There's plenty of parking and the actual venue itself is very spacious with plenty of options for table set up. I really liked the bride and groom suites as they were spacious and there was plenty of room to get ready. The designated spaces for a bar, dancing and DJ was layed out well and I felt everyone had plenty of room. I really liked the lightening and the extra touches they provided and the staff seemed to go above and beyond to ensure everything went off perfectly. The bride and groom enjoyed the day and had everything taken care of. This is a beautiful venue and worth looking into if you're in the area.

Weird rusting storage units in the yard that we guessed at one point were for rent as part of a B and B. Food was ok but super greasy with butter or oil pooling around the eggs and potatoes. Very strange vibe to the place with tension pretty apparent between owners or managers with one of the managers or owners talking under his breath about one of the other people (waitress or other owner) to no one in particular, but loud enough people could hear him - using some descriptive language as to what he thought of them. Service was fine when approaching us and at the ordering counter, actually fairly pleasant. This place used to be a cool little quirky cafe, but our time recently was not worth the mood we left with. Everyone has had a bad day or days, especially in this service industry economy, but insulting other workers/owners/managers in front of customers is uncalled for. Hopefully things improve in this space.

My daughter was married at The Oaks at Salem recently, and the venue required us to choose a…read morecaterer from their provided list. After meeting with three caterers, we decided to move forward with 39 West. We enjoyed the food we sampled during our tasting, and felt we had made the right choice. Unfortunately, what you don't learn during a tasting is how a caterer actually executes their job on the day of the event. Our wedding count was 100 people, which in the grand scheme of things is not a large event. We discussed our plans multiple times with our contact at 39West. The venue had two bar locations, and it was important to us that both be manned, as we didn't want our wedding guests to have to wait in a long line to get a drink. We agreed to have a bartender work the 2nd bar during the cocktail hour. On the day of the wedding, 39West didn't bother to set up the second bar. When questioned about this by the wedding planner, the woman in charge barked that they simply couldn't do it. We were unaware that this had happened until we showed up at the cocktail hour after bridal photos, and to our dismay saw our guests standing in a line 25-people deep, waiting to get a drink. We had also requested glasses of wine be passed on platters to alleviate the crowds at the bar. This was never done. The bartenders were busy trying to strike up conversations with our guests as they approached the bar. Isn't their job to serve drinks efficiently? I could only think that they were more concerned in trying to get a tip from each guest rather than simply do their job. Our wedding planner provided the caterer a detailed description in writing of what our table settings were to look like. Charger plates were to be wrapped by a napkin which was tri-folded. The charger plates we paid extra for were never used when setting the tables. The water glasses were supposed to be pre-filed and pre-set on the tables (we had to pay extra for this) but were never set on the tables. Instead of the desired visual with our charger plate, and napkin folded around it, our place settings were all random throughout the dining area. Some place settings had knives placed sideways where the plate should have been and they were being used to hold up the napkins which were draped off the table. Others had napkins crumpled in a ball. The tables honestly looked like a 2-year old had set them. The main entree took extremely long to be served, and I believe the issue was simply that they did not bring enough staff for the event. We thought we were getting a professional caterer for the event however it seemed as if they tried to cut costs by utilizing as little hired help as possible. I contacted the owner after the wedding, and let him know how his company had let us down. He did give us some money back, however that doesn't right the wrong that occured, or change our memories of what should have been a beautiful day.
