“Everything was absolutely perfect to me. Everyone was impressed with the setup, the atmosphere and the setting of the venue. Thanks so much for all you did to make my birthday party a wonderful experience. Heynow”
“My husband and I participated in the candle making workshop with lavender lunch that I won from a raffle. I didn't realize what a great prize that was until arriving. The venue is beautifully and thoughtfully crafted repurposing a beautiful barn structure from Ohio and Karen made everyone feel welcome. I have food restrictions so was unable to partake in the delicious looking lunch but my husband enjoyed everything and was able to even get seconds. Having won the event as a raffle I did not expect any accommodation for my allergies, but Karen offered a credit for me to enjoy something from her boutique. The space was impeccably cared for and serene, I could've spent all afternoon there. It made me want to get married again to have my own event there!”
“If you’re planning a wedding and looking for a beautiful, nature-filled, perfect venue, look no further! Tony and Beth, the owners, are incredibly friendly, helpful, and passionate about hosting the event of your dreams. Day-of Tony truly goes above and beyond. The historic nature of the home is beautifully preserved while also providing all the modern amenities one could need. Everything is as pictured but even better in person! We would choose Old Lystra Inn a hundred times over.”
“I recently had my wedding at the Barn at Valhalla and it couldn’t have been more perfect! We loved the package that allowed us to have the venue from 8 am the day before to 12 pm the day after. We held a preparty the next before and guests loved being able to spend the night at the many on-site accommodations.
We used the Barn’s day of coordination and rentals and everything flowed super smooth.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue that makes every guest feel cozy, this is the one!”
“We held a celebration of life service there. It went off without a hitch. The staff was very professional. An excellent event venue as well as a great garden spot.”
“Last evening, the League of Women Voters of Orange Durham and Chatham Counties held its first in-person Annual Meeting since 2019, and could not have found a better venue for the occasion. Manager Brandon was a pleasure to work with in every step of the process. Executive Director Lisa Kaylie also deserves a big thank you for helping us close up the beautiful space. Both are great advocates for their mission of creating a safe and fulfilling workplace for people of neurodiverse abilities. We fully support them and look forward to coming back.”
“My brother was getting married in Chapel Hill and we were looking for a space to host a welcome party the night before the wedding. There are not many event spaces that can hold 175 people in Chapel Hill and after an exhaustive time calling different restaurants, we found The Pitch (we didn’t want to host the event in a hotel). Laura and her team were great. They worked with us every step of the way preparing for the evening. It was a huge success. We recommend The Pitch to anyone looking to host an event in Chapel Hill!”
“Was there because of the Carolina Alumni Winter Concert.
Let’s just say, compared to other parts of UNC, this is really luxurious though it might be a bit dated. If anything, this reminds me of Baiyoke Sky Hotel in terms of decor. Yep, even managed to see UNC Acapella people (Achordants and Psalm 100 especially, Clef Hangers left early but I put them under this classification for certain reasons) try and finish the catering. Hats off to them!
While I don’t remember the songs, at least I do know that they did get decent Christmas music to ‘kick off the holiday season.’
Refreshements are quite similar to the dining halls (I.e. OK, decent quality), but could have included eggnog. Then again, this is Carolina Alumni, NOT the Sheraton/Hilton/Whatever high class hotel you think of.”

“One of the most unique hotels I’ve ever been to! I’m so lucky to have had the pleasure of staying here for business and it is such a beautiful hotel! Cannot wait to return and explore more ?”
“Close enough to UNC Chapel Hill. There should be free parking at this hotel but they charge a fee. Rooms are tidy. The lobby is clean and plenty of space to get work done.”
“Great cocktails! usually party spots like this…the drinks are just OK. These were really good and they even customized them despite having a large party. Beautiful spot, great party.”

“This past year we held our company Christmas party with Blue Hill Event Center and we could not have been happier with our experience. Eric was a pleasure to work with and always answered any of our questions in a timely fashion. The night of our event everything ran smoothly, the caterers had plenty of space for set up and the space was set up beautifully by their talented staff. We look forward to hosting other events with them in the future.”
