Anyone have good recommendations for a place that can host an indoor wedding? Looking for specifically the ceremony, as we already have some ideas for the reception itself.
Do you count Unitarians as "non-denominational"? Both the UUFR of Raleigh and ERUUF (Eno River UU Fellowship) in Durham have really pretty, modern "sanctuaries" (especially ERUUF).
Hill House in Durham is a lovely old mansion that gets rented out for various things. Probably not cheap, but really nice and like stepping back into a Victorian-era home.
How many people? I got married at the Borden building in downtown Raleigh. We had the actual ceremony on the porch (it was supposed to be outside but of course it POURED rain that day). We managed to get 80 people on that porch and then had the reception inside.
You could probably get away with having the ceremony inside if the guest list is small, but like all of those houses, the building is large but the layout is "boxy" and individual rooms are not huge.
we are looking at around 150 people, and preferably in raleigh, but definitely open to anywhere within 20 mi of downtown. we would be open to a place that has outdoor and indoor, just concerned with planning for an outdoor wedding and dealing with weather.
My wife and I were married at the Longview Center in Moore Square. It wasn't a functioning church at the time, but they did over 50 weddings a year there. I believe it's now a non-denominational church again. Looks like they will allow you to use it for weddings:
I had my wedding reception there. Plenty of space for ceremony and reception.
