“I'm a wedding planner in the Raleigh area and the Parlour is one of the top venues I recommend to my clients and that I personally use for events. It's a beautiful space but more importantly for my job, the team is top notch. They care deeply about their clients, their space, and the industry at large. They are professional and have a team work ethic which is necessary in the event space. I count it a joy to work at this venue!”
