    The BEST wedding venue for the views and for the staff! If you want a gorgeous wedding venue with picturesque scenery, feeling like you are so remote, but only 20 minutes from downtown durham, and the best team to support you, then Carolina Grove is your venue! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have done it without the support of the Carolina Grove Team. From the day we did our tour with Melissa we were blown away with the customer experience. We were then paired with Kate as a coordinator and she is absolutely one of the best human beings and made sure everything the day of ran smoothly. We love the Carolina Grove and we loved watching our guests fall in love with it too. 10/10! P.S. Definitely take fun photos in the vault, we love ours!

  • Most magical venue!

    We loved everything about CG! The team that was amazing to work with, the ease with which it all came together, and of course the STUNNING setting. Our day was pure magic!
