Located right outside of downtown Raleigh, you will find The Historic Wakefield Barn. Built in 1934 and renovated in 2017, the barn is a luxury wedding venue in North Raleigh unmatched in its scale and charm. This is the perfect barn wedding venue that can accommodate events large and small! The Historic Wakefield Barn is a National Historic Site that sits on 14 acres – the property includes a bridal suite, horse barn, the main barn and outdoor event spaces. The venue combines the barn’s history with subtle modern touches that result in a unique event space. The property is still an active horse farm, with two horses who live on-site named Mandatory, and Jackson!

The Historic Wakefield Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was outstanding - Brent was so helpful and responsive, making the entire experience stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a unique vintage and classy feel that exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to make our day special, providing a beautiful custom "Savannah" hanger when we booked the venue and even arranging for horses to be part of our celebration. When it rained right after our ceremony, we were so grateful for the indoor/outdoor capabilities - the team had a seamless rain plan that allowed us to enjoy the rest of the evening indoors. I highly recommend The Historic Wakefield Barn to any couple looking for a stunning, versatile wedding venue.

We got married at Whiskey Kitchen in November 2021. They did an amazing job! The food was amazing. Having the entire whisky bar open was a hit for our guests who are normally used to a small selection of drinks at most other weddings. They already have tables & chairs available to use and moved them around between our ceremony and reception. There is plenty of space for a live band and dancing. We're so happy we asked if they hosted weddings! We would highly recommend using them as your wedding venue.

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.
