The property and house are gorgeous with so many unique details while still being neutral enough to accommodate your personal style.We used their in house design team and were blown away with the quality of the service we received! Sasha and Nicole were so helpful and responsive. Their organization and attention to detail put my Type-A personality at ease throughout the whole planning process!

The Merrimon-Wynne House far exceeded our expectations!”

“We were married here on 10/13 and everything about the day was BEAUTIFUL!!! I looked at a lot of venues around Raleigh and none had the space and possibilities like Walnut Hill. It was so nice being able to have plenty of room to get ready, tons of great photography spots, beautiful layout for such a fun cocktail hour and several options for the ceremony location to take place. This venue was everything!!!”

“My man and I went here last weekend for the first time. From the time we entered until we left, we had a phenomenal experience. Our waitress Meredith was attentive, poised and very friendly. The other staff were friendly as well.We ordered calamari for appetizers and salmon+seafood pasta for our main courses. We also had refreshing mocktails. EVERYTHING was delicious and flavorful.The icing on the cake was dining on the rooftop terrace. Although we went during the day, the vibes were definitely there and the views were amazing. We will definitely be back here soon.”

“Fantastic experience. I booked at the wrong location and yet they still worked to find a way to get us in and let the other location know for me so that time could be released to someone else. I appreciate how considerate they were and our experience was great there that we would 100% love to return.”

“Clean facility, competent staff, doesn’t feel like a total boys club - bays are good with Trackman system. Minus 1 star for price but that’s personal and thems the breaks!, Everything else is quality”

“The Nest Raleigh is an event space.Nest can be rented out for various events individuals are hosting. A friend of mine's boyfriend was the DJ for a Trap and paint event that I attended here. The space seems nice and I reviewed the rates online and it seems affordable. I would recommend this space if a friend or family member is looking for a space to use. No complaints about this particular event I attended. It's right on Fayetteville St where the parking is easier.”

“Good place to stop and grab a glass of wine before or after dinner. Nice outdoor patio seating.Parking: Park at a local paid lot (there is one right next door). You’ll get ticketed if you go over, so pay attention.”

“Not a bad Venue, love the circular design. Indoor restrooms & plenty of parking space. My only gripe is inside the building will feel like outside in hot or cold weather”

“I went to Little Doodles for a 3rd birthday for a friend of one of my children. It was so adorable that I also decided to throw one of my children’s 3rd birthday party here as well a few months later. It’s perfect for children’s birthday parties, with lots of activities to do. Decorations and food are included, or you can choose to bring your own decorations and food, or a mix of both. They have lots of options for party themes to choose from, and depending on the party package you choose, the children can also do arts and crafts. This is a cozy place and only your guests will be in attendance during your allotted party time. It is a great place for children that enjoy free play, dress up, and arts and crafts. They also have a little cafe so parents can enjoy some coffee during the party. Highly recommend!”

“Went to experience the Korn Ferry Tour. What a tremendous course! Meticulously kept and manicured. I've yet to play it but it certainly looks like a really tough course.”

“1705 East was the perfect place for our Christmas Party! I worked with Ashley White, the new venue manager, and she was amazing! From the preplanning to the wrap up everything was flawless. Would definitely recommend this venue and Rocky Top Catering.”

“We are so glad that we chose Morris Peaceland Farm as our wedding venue. Morris Peaceland Farm is an enchanting venue.There are many reasons why we decided to chose Morris Peaceland Farm for our venue however, our top two reasons were the people and the location.1. The PeopleWe toured the venue with Kathi Morris. When reflecting back on the tour we felt that Kathi was genuinely invested in her couples and making the day exactly what they envision. We worked with Kathi and Maglen frequently leading up to our big day. They were both very responsive, helpful, supportive, and a pleasure to work with.I'd highly recommend connecting with their suggested vendors. We selected a suggested photographer, K Star's Photography and a suggested DJ, Epic DJ Entertainment (Apex). Our DJ ended up referring our officiant who absolutely nailed our ceremony, Ingrid Sagula We felt like we were surrounded by sincere people that were truly motivated to make our day the best it could be!2. The LocationMorris Peaceland Farm is extremely convenient to downtown Raleigh and Cary but it feels like you're removed from all the city hustle and bustle. It's like you're in a secret garden tucked away. The road is set away from the venue. You don't have cars flying by, sirens every ten minutes, etc. It's beautiful during the day and at night. We had our ceremony at the dock which we loved! There are many different spots for beautiful photos. Our guests loved walking around the venue taking in all the outdoor splendor! We received many compliments from our guests regarding the venue and how beautiful it was!In addition to the amazing people and gorgeous location:-They have a huge inventory of items you can use which includes various tables, design items, easels, etc.-We didn't have to rent chairs, tables, or linen as it came with booking the venue!-They have a calligrapher which we utilized heavily for our table assignments, various mirrors, and frames. Every single item was exactly what we requested.We would highly recommend having your wedding or any event at Morris Peaceland Farm!”

“We could not have been happier with Bridge club and their incredible staff for our wedding. We used the second floor space for our ceremony and dinner for 25 guests and it was phenomenal. You already know that a venue from Ashley Christensen is going to have unbelievable food (many comments from guests about it being the best wedding food they've ever had) but the staff is what made the difference.Jessie was great to work with for the touring and booking of the space but we could not have been more impressed once Michelle took over as the event coordinator. Our wedding planner left a lot to be desired and Michelle essentially took over. We were so grateful for her constant communication, coordinating with vendors, making sure we got everything out of our package and managing every small detail in the days leading up to the event. We were also thoroughly impressed with the staff on the day of. They were so personable, engaging and professional with our guests.If you are doing a wedding, rehearsal dinner or reception in downtown Raleigh, Bridge Club is the way to go!”

“I just want to say what a wonderful staff works at this Little Gym. The most lovely young people who are so patient with the kids. In particular we have had the privilege of working with Steven, Mandy, Olivia and Wisal quite a bit… what sweet humans they all are. Steven and Olivia have gone out of there way and above and beyond all expectations to try and accommodate our son who has additional needs. Mandy and Wisal always go out of their way to help when I need to get the second child out of the car and just be extra kind and patient. So grateful we started coming here and will continue to be patrons for the foreseeable future. They always make an effort to switch the gym equipment around so it’s new and exciting for the kids and it’s very clean. Highly recommend 10/10”

“The track was repaved earlier this year and it's still family friendly and as fun as ever to go watch some racing. Great food and people. Go visit Mike's Speed shop for your racing apparel.”

“My husband and I got married here this past December and it truly was the most magical day! I had the best experience with Courtney as our wedding coordinator and she truly made our wedding day. From the planning before, responding to any questions or concerns I had, to the day of the wedding, making sure the day ran so smoothly, Courtney went above and beyond to make our experience the absolute best. The week before the wedding Courtney made herself available to meet all our requests and thought about more details than I could have even begin to think about. I trusted Courtney to make the venue so beautiful and she really exceeded my expectations. The venue itself was the most beautiful location. The food was outstanding, and the room itself was a perfect background for a wedding. I would recommend this venue to anyone everytime! And cannot thank Wakefield country club, and Courtney, enough!!”

“A go to for your next event! Covered patio that we were able to warm up with heaters. Beautiful interior to set up for any function.We had a wonderful New Year’s party!”

“Everett Morats is the best swim coach I've ever had there. 100/10 would recommend him. He's one of the coolest, nicest, and most chill guys I've ever met.Love,Ian Christian Solloway”

“I have wanted to do paint pouring for a long time and took an Intro to Acrylic Paint Pouring Class with Lauren. She was a wonderful, engaging teacher and hostess! Everything was set up before I arrived, making it easy to focus on and enjoy the process. My goal was to learn the basics of paint pouring, so I could do some on my own, but I would take the class again in a heartbeat it was so much fun! Also looking forward to taking some of her other events when I'm scheduled to travel to Raleigh again.”

“We just recently hosted a one year birthday party for our daughter and the staff did such an awesome job taking care of every detail in the party. We loved just showing up and having Alara & Zane staff take care of all of the details!! It was so pretty, my daughter had the best time during music and bubble time. The staff is knowledgeable and very very hard working! I so recommend for anyone looking for a fun filled party for kids and adult to consider this place!! 10/10 for the best staff, and the prettiest play area in Raleigh!”

“Held a birthday fundraiser event recently at Hibiscus and everyone enjoyed it! The sweet spirit the center exudes made our event a big success. Working with Nneka was a breeze. She personifies the atmosphere of her center. Space is versatile, lots of parking, safety, convenient to hotels and major highways, and all the amenities we needed to produce a musical, have dinner, and a party afterwards. I would recommend it for any event and look forward to the next time my family plans and event there!”

“I have been doing the lawn care maintenance here at this property since May of 2023. This property is my most prized posession. I take a lot of pride in maintaining this property. It is a joy to show up everyday and do what I love doing, my passion. The people that walk the community have come to know me by name and wave Everytime they see me.”

“We actually went to the speakeasy inside The Architect (Greenlight). Private, good-looking bar with solid drinks and fair prices. The only problem: really small!!! There are very few tables, so reservations would be a godsend. No food, so eat something before.Luckily, you'll find parking somewhere nearby (we had to walk a few blocks).”

“We had our company Christmas party there. It was enough space for every one to sit. The food was good. There was enough parking. It's a great place for special occasions.”

“Great place. I specifically chose this restaurant for the gluten free pasta options. I ordered the Pescatore and it was phenomenal!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”

“I do not like Indian food. Having said this, the food here is amazing! Of particular note are the cocktails with the bubbles on top. I went with an Indian friend who ordered everything. The naan was incredible and so many different ones to try. The scallops, salmon, and lamb were also wonderful. Everything looked so beautiful that I actually took photos. I have no idea why people didn't love this restaurant.”

“Norris House is a beautiful venue inside and out! The location in historic Raleigh is perfect for any special event. We loved working with the friendly and responsive Norris House team to coordinate our delivery of farm tables for the styled shoot. Excited to partner with Norris House for a future event ?”
