About this venue
The restored Historic Melrose Knitting Mill is a three-story brick mill, nestled in downtown Raleigh. The venue boasts exposed bricks, rough cut beams and twenty-four arched windows, providing an abundance of natural light. After opening one of Downtown Raleigh’s most vibrant restaurants on the ground level, creative director Samad Hachby renovated the third-story space to accommodate the larger weddings, special events, and parties that his restaurant was being sought after to host. Today, the Historic Melrose Knitting Mill sits perched high atop 309 N. Dawson Street welcoming guests to a true destination within the heart of the city.

The best place to get married!!
Melrose Knitting Mill was truly incredible to work with from start to finish. Their communication was punctual, detailed, and easy, which helped put us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself is beautiful, with a timeless and luxurious feel that created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our wedding. The service staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable, even going so far as to feed me while I got bustled. We were blown away by the quality of their work and the incredible value they provided. Melrose Knitting Mill helped make our special day absolutely perfect.
Exceptional venue!
We had an exceptional experience with this venue for our wedding. It is an absolutely beautiful on its own, not needing a lot of extra decor. We really appreciated not needing a lot of extra rentals beyond linens and the catering from Mulino was great! So many guests raved about the Mac and cheese.
The Melrose does not Disappoint!
The Melrose was an amazing choice for a wedding reception venue. First off, Southern Oak was fabulous since they are involved with the Melrose. Second, I heard the waitstaff was amazing all evening, and the food superb. I was incredibly amazed with how well the steaks were cooked despite them being the most requested meal. I also loved how the venue shown and glittered. I am truly in awe of how beautiful the space was. Southern Oak Events was also incredible on top of it! Loved having Nicole there for me through the process. This did not disappoint!
Beautiful venue!
This venue was beautiful and made our day so special. The sunlight peaking through the windows was magical. The exposed brick made it so easy to decorate simply. The team here is incredible to work with. I would choose this venue all over again just for the care this team put into every detail. I cannot express how grateful I am for all the staff did to make this day so memorable!
