About this vendor
If you’re looking for an outdoor wedding location, we have plenty of space for ceremonies and receptions! The Chapel Hill Carriage House lends itself to being a great location for DIY bride and grooms. We have numerous areas around our property that make for beautiful ceremonies. Since we are a farm, we don’t provide “all-inclusive” packages that may be available from wedding venues, but we do have quite a bit of the wedding “essentials” at your disposal such as decorations, tables, and chairs. Not requiring an all-inclusive option gives you a high level of flexibility in who you choose for food, music, flowers, etc., and it allows us to focus on what we do best–making sure the grounds are well-maintained and that your big day runs smoothly! We have a herd of goats. During weddings, our alpaca, Abraham Lincoln comes out in a top hat and bow tie. Guests love taking selfies with him. We also have two llamas that are in training to come out to meet with guests too.

Mrs. Brenda is truly amazing! Her venue is absolutely gorgeous—so well kept, thoughtfully designed, and full of charm. My husband and I were looking for a rustic barn venue with be...
autiful, well-landscaped outdoor ceremony options, and this place delivered tenfold. We got married at the fireplace, and it was the most perfect backdrop.
The bar area was ideally placed for cocktail hour, giving guests space to mingle, enjoy yard games, and take in the scenery while we finished family portraits. The barn itself had the cozy, intimate atmosphere we wanted, with the perfect lighting and rustic elegance.
Mrs. Brenda was so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She answered every question (even my last-minute ones!) and went above and beyond to make sure our day ran seamlessly. We’re so glad we chose The Chapel Hill Carriage House—our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful it was!
This venue is not only stunning, but the support and attention to detail you receive is so special! It rained on our wedding day, and the venue staff immediately jumped in and work...
ed so very hard to make it exactly what we dreamed it to be. Mary Kay is a powerhouse wedding planner, and Brenda and her husband maintain the grounds so well. I cannot recommend this venue higher!
There are too many fantastic things to write about this venue! We could not be more thrilled about our choice in wedding venue. The entire grounds are absolutely stunning, and all ...
of our guests continue to talk about how beautiful it was (even though it was a rainy and overcast day). The animals are spectacular and provide such a fun experience for both us and the guests. We love the goats, llamas, and alpacas so dearly! The planners and people that help for the wedding are all fantastic.
However, the real star of the show is Brenda, the venue owner. Her and her husband are truly some of the best people we have ever met. Brenda is so generous, helpful, and caring about the people that choose to get married at her venue. She continues to improve the venue even though it is already perfect, and has tons of options for decor and table settings that she encourages people to use. She has been beyond kind to us throughout this whole process, and we see her like family now! We absolutely love Chapel Hill Carriage House and everything that comes along with it. We cannot recommend this venue more! If we could get married there every year, we would.
My husband and I visited a few similar locations around Chapel Hill before deciding on the Carriage House and are 1000% happy with our decision. The owners were always incredibly f...
riendly, very excited about our wedding, and accommodating for all of our planning, set up, clean up, and other needs. This venue is absolutely gorgeous on its own helping cut down the costs for decorations. Brenda (owner) is so sweet and supportive and also gave us great recommendations for other vendors many who we worked with and loved as much as the venue. Since our wedding we have had many guests reach out to tell us how beautiful the venue was and how it was one of the best they have been to as guests. We really loved all the support Brenda and her staff gave us not only on the day but leading up to our event.
The best venue ever!!! We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Carriage house. Brenda made the entire process so easy, and I absolutely love the location! The animals at the ...
venue were such a crowd pleaser! Please check out this venue if you haven't already!!
It was so beautiful and Brenda was great to us! She did so much to help us decorate and make it look amazing. We really could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding.
The CHCH was recommended to me by my maid of honor who had been to a wedding there previously and said it was her favorite ever. When we went for our tour, it didn't take us long a...
t all to realize that was our place. I truly feel like you can't get all that you get from CHCH at any other venue. There are multiple ceremony spots, tables, chairs, benches, decor, linens, etc. Brenda, the owner, is amazing to work and provides so much insight. We had a May wedding and everything was so green and in bloom, I'm still getting calls 2 weeks later that is was the most beautiful spot!
Chapel Hill Carriage House is a dream venue! If you’re looking for a rustic barn wedding with charm and close proximity to downtown Chapel Hill, then pick CHCC!! It is beautifully ...
landscaped and Brenda and Mike are the nicest people you will ever meet! They are so professional and truly love what they do. My husband and I got married in the new open air church and it exceeded our expectations. It wasn’t built when we selected the venue but Brenda told us her vision and turned out even more beautiful than she described! Chapel Hill Carriage House is such a laid back place and you can’t help but feel relaxed when you are there. There is a lot of open space to set-up corn hole or other games. If it’s chilly at night, Brenda will light a fire in the outdoor fireplace! She will be there with you every step of the process including working the event itself. The best part is definitely the animals though! One of her goats named Rosie gets dressed up as the bride and her alpaca named Abraham Lincoln, serves as the groom. We did a photo shoot with them around the grounds and had the best time! Chapel Hill Carriage House will always hold a special place in our hearts and we couldn’t have picked a better venue! We have since gone back to do baby goat yoga at their farm!
I can’t express how AMAZING Brenda and Mike (and their team) are and how the CHCH is the perfect wedding venue. I met with Brenda over the summer when looking at wedding venues (an...
d I looked ALL over the Triangle area) and I could tell immediately that Brenda was down to earth and loved what she did. The venue is absolutely stunning. There are gardens, flowers, a lake with a water fall, fountains, beautiful mature trees – all of which Brenda and Mike take immaculate care of. She also has a farm with goats, chickens and an alpaca named Abe. You can tell how much Brenda and Mike take pride in their property and gardens. If you want an outdoor type wedding, then the CHCH is the place. They have lawn games (putt putt, checkers, corn hole, ladder golf), they bring some animals out during cocktail hour and there are so many different locations were you can have the wedding (chapel, fireplace, oak tree, etc) and several photo locations. My wedding guests said that this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to and said it fit us perfectly. Brenda even lets you view a wedding so you can see what goes into the set up and how things are run during a wedding. It’s bring your own alcohol and you can use your own caterer (we had a pizza food truck!). She gives amazing suggestions on vendors, seating, wedding flow, etc. I wish I could have my wedding all over again just to spend more time at this venue. I truly owe Brenda and Mike everything since our day was absolutely PERFECT.
Their grounds are so incredibly beautiful! It's a bride's dream. The lawn games set the perfect stage for two families coming together, and our guests couldn't stop raving about ...
the whole experience. At our request, the owner was happy to let a few baby goats and her alpaca say hello to our guests! She is incredibly responsive and so accommodating...she helps you customize your setup just the way you want it. She even has a stash of wedding decorations she's happy to let you use for the day. And the area the bridal party can use the morning of made for good times...a pool table and foosball...way fun. Go check this place out - you'll love it.
The Chapel Hill Carriage House is a beautiful new venue in Chapel Hill, NC. It has endless possibilities for ceremony and reception spaces, the owners are very hands-on, and open t...
o working with you whenever you need! I recommend this space if you are looking for an outdoor wedding surrounded by both landscaped and natural settings.
