“My husband and I got married here in June. We live in California and had to plan our wedding not only living in a different state but during the pandemic. We worked with Sasha who was absolutely AMAZING. She walked us through each step of the way and was there for every question we had. She informed us of every update in regards to Covid and the changes that would effect our big day. On the day of our wedding, it rained (we were told it's good luck). Sasha spent all morning setting up our seating arrangement inside, moving it to outside when it stopped raining and having to move it back in when the rain started again. She worked so hard and so graciously all morning. Pictures here are a DREAM. The Merrimon-Wynne House is such a beautiful venue - rain or shine!”
“Merrimon-Wynne was the venue of my dreams! My husband and I booked this venue pretty much immediately after seeing it. It is so incredibly beautiful, well maintained, and offers many different spaces and options for your big day. It is also relatively affordable since they include many things that you normally would have to get from a rental company.
I want to give a specific shout-out to Sasha Buslovich. Sasha was our wedding coordinator for Merrimon-Wynne and she went above and beyond to cater to our every need. She was very quick with communication, super organized, and always made us feel comfortable. She really made my day complete and was honestly my rock throughout the whole process! I cannot recommend her enough as your coordinator”
“Kaila and Abby were excellent to work with the entire year I planned our wedding. They are extremely responsive and accommodating. They provide recommended vendor lists when you book with them which made my planning so much easier. I used several of their suggested vendors and all proved to be excellent.”
“The Merrimon-Wynne House was absolutely perfect. Tucked away behind lush and beautiful greenery, it feels as though you are in your own world while also holding the benefit of being minutes from downtown Raleigh.”
“Abby even made sure we had a fresh drink in our hands at all times. It's really that attention to detail that makes the difference. I highly recommend the Merrimon Wynne. You definitely won't regret it!”
“Kaila is incredibly professional, helpful, answers emails insanely fast and was there to support us and help us with our every need throughout the entire process and down to the last minute of our wedding day! The set up is perfect for a large bridal party with plenty of room to change, eat and hang out. The grooms suite was filled with beer and soda on arrival—which the groomsmen really appreciated! One of my favorite things is the fact that the lawn is perfect year round—it looks absolutely incredible in pictures!! Oh and the air conditioned reception space is a huge plus— Especially in the summer months!! Trust me, you and your guests comfort is worth the price.”
“We hoped to have our ceremony on the lawn, but it was sweltering on our wedding day so we moved the ceremony to the carriage house. In retrospect, we were so happy it turned out that way! We had about 175 guests, and the carriage house still felt cool and spacious.”
