Amanda and Todd truly made our wedding memorable. All the guests commented on how beautiful their property is. Very professional and easy to work! We toured eight venues before my husband came across their venue and it was a fantastic decision. They have so many options for where you want your ceremony to be held. Fortunately we had perfect weather, but their venue has the best back-up plan to hold a beautiful ceremony indoors if you need to or want to!

  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

The Farm on Cotton is a rustic wedding venue located in Sanford, NC.

A short drive from Raleigh, you and your loved ones can enjoy the seclusion of this stunning location with the convenience of nearby big city amenities.

When you think of everything your wedding could be thus venue exceeds that. When we entered this venue me and my husband knew it was "the one". The space, the owner, what's included for the pricepoint....well it was everything and more. Once our wedding day came it was seamless. We had a little rain in the morning, but that staff wiped everything down and we were able to have out ceremony on the overlook. Jamie (the owner) kept us on schedule and worked behind the scenes with her staff and my vendors to make sure everything was a dream come true. I cant recommend this venue enough and I wouldn't change a thing.

This working horse farm and private property offers a variety of indoor, covered and outdoor event spaces for weddings and receptions. Wedding ceremonies can be held in the the courtyard of the horse barn, under the old oak tree, or in the covered arena. Receptions can be held in the indoor banquet hall and large covered wedding pavilion arena with an outdoor patio and pergola with the backdrop of a 47 acre horse farm with rolling pasture land and forests. The beautiful main horse barn provides the perfect location for intimate wedding events such as bridal showers and rehearsal dinners, as well as a groom’s lounge and bridal suite perfect for day of preparations.

Beautiful venue, great service, and exactly what we needed for our big day. If you are like me and have your heart set on an outdoor wedding, this is absolutely the way to go to have a built-in backup plan! Sure enough, it rained through almost our entire reception, but we were able to still be outside and under cover in the arena, where we ended up doing everything from the ceremony to dinner to dancing. We wish we could have used the venue as originally planned (with the ceremony under the beautiful oak tree and dancing on the patio in front of the new outdoor fireplace) but I was so happy to not have to move things completely inside, which we would have had to do at other venues. On top of that, Julia and her husband were great to work with throughout the whole process, they provided and offered a lot of what we needed from tables and chairs to decor, the bridal suite and groom’s suite were wonderful comfortable places to get ready, and the horses added just the right fairytale touch.

The Victorian: Youngsville

Youngsville, NC
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $4,950

Whether your dream wedding is a black tie affair or an intimate ceremony, The Victorian: Youngsville is the perfect wedding venue for your special day. Please contact us directly via our website contact form for more information and to schedule a tour.

There would never be enough words of praise for how my husband and I feel about The Victorian and having it as our wedding venue. We were married here on October 2, 2021 and it was the BEST day. Brian and Giuliana are incredible and have truly put so much hard work into making this venue beautiful. It is naturally beautiful on both the inside and the outside, that you really don't even need many decorations. Not to mention, the way that Brian and Giuliana have decorated the inside of the house (especially the bridal suites and groomsmen rooms and the library) is GORGEOUS." We chose a package with the venue that included additional items, along with day-of-coordination, and we are SO GLAD we did. Having Brian as our day-of-coordinator was a GIFT! He made sure the day ran so smoothly while being so calm and fun (never frazzled). Our families and bridal party were so impressed with Brian and how he and his team ran our so wedding from start to finish that day. The Victorian has a preferred list of vendors and EVERY vendor we used from that list was INCREDIBLE. All of these vendors ended up being our favorite vendors. We highly recommend using Brian and Giuliana's preferred vendors because it saves SO many headaches and they happen to know great people who end up feeling like friends, not just vendors. Even more so, Brian and Giuliana were so responsive to us from Day 1 and always answered our questions thoroughly and quickly. We knew when we booked we had found a gem of a venue, but that's an understatement. Our wedding day at The Victorian was a dream, and The Victorian (Brian and Giuliana) played one of the biggest parts in that. I could go on and on about how we feel about The Victorian, but to sum it up: we cannot recommend getting married here enough!
