Top Luxury Wedding Venues in Raleigh, North Carolina

Over the years, there’s been some great development here in the Raleigh-triangle area. Especially when it comes to wedding venues. No longer are we looking to barns and doing weddings that scream country. No, we’re moving from that to do something different, something more European and modern. Recently, there’s been a surge of beautiful new wedding venues being built here in Raleigh and the surrounding areas. And what they have in common is the style of venues that they are. I am so excited to see these beautiful European-style luxury wedding venues here in Raleigh. Among these luxury wedding venues are three of my favorite so far- ones that I believe are the best luxury wedding venues here in Raleigh: The Bradford NC, and the Britton Manor.
Read on to see more information on these venues, why you should get married at these places, and what the average cost of having a wedding there is.
THE BRADFORD
For all things Spanish/Italian, go to the BRADFORD NC
Located about 40 minutes outside of Raleigh, The Bradford is also a classic luxury wedding venue with a picturesque European-style landscape. It embodies the European countryside with its chateau-like architecture and the tall green trees/shrubs emphasizing its driveway.
The Bradford has indoor spaces for events as well as outdoor spaces. I love its outdoor space with the fireplace and the pavements-all these details add to its charm and definitely make it feel like home.
Why you should get married at The Bradford

Many picture spots. You don’t have to go to a different location to take your wedding venues. Having a venue that doubles as a picture location is a plus.

BRITTON MANOR
For all things English, head to the BRITON MANOR
Hidden in Eastern North Carolina, about an hour away from Raleigh, this new wedding venue is worth the rave. Britton Manor is the perfect blend of two of the most European styles- English and French. With its English-like architecture and French-style gardens, this is the perfect luxury wedding venue to get married at.

The beautiful views. It feels like you’ve been transported to an English cottage/castle in the countryside of England. What’s not to like?
It’s private. The venue itself is on its own property grounds giving a sense of privacy to you and your guests

IN CONCLUSION,
Although there are many other venues in Raleigh and the surrounding areas, I feel that these are definitely in the higher-end/ luxury market. As I stated before, the design possibilities are endless and they will add a certain charm to your wedding. To note, these venues do give you access to their preferred vendor list but you don’t have to use them. You can bring your own vendors so be sure to confirm with them.
