About this vendor
My husband, Robbie and I purchased these beautiful 13 acres back in the summer of 1999. At the property closing I noticed on the deed the name of the property was Peaceland. From the very beginning, we referred to it as Morris Peaceland, as it just lended itself to the peace and beauty of nature and would be home to our growing family. The property included our house, a couple barns, a large pond and was completely surrounded by woods. It was, and still is, a rare gem, so close to the city of Raleigh yet offering peace and privacy as if miles away in the country.
Over the years, we have enjoyed and celebrated so many happy events with our family and friends here. We knew we had been blessed with this property and dreamt to one day, make it a venue for others to enjoy as well.

I can't recommend MPF enough! We had our wedding here in October of 2025 and it was perfect. All our guests were saying "WHERE did you FIND this beautiful venue?!" It was romantic,...
cozy, and lush. No traffic noises--just nearby birds! We had 170 people at our wedding with PLENTY of room to dance! We also hosted THREE food trucks no problem. It even RAINED in the evening (but not until 8:00, thankfully), so we did the rain plan for the ceremony under the pavilion, and as the bride, let me tell you--it was incredible coming down the stairs! Kathi and Maglan are so nice and accommodating. They have stocked the venue with a TON of stuff so you have less to buy/bring in and fewer vendors to deal with. They have a calligrapher, their own bartenders, and we even had one of their servers make grilled cheese in the last hour of the dancing. I cannot thank this lovely family-owned business enough for being a part of our perfect day.
Morris Peaceland was the site of my son's wedding this past weekend and I can't say enough about how helpful they were and how accomodating Kathi, Maglen and the others were. I d...
id not have much experience with large weddings and they made everything so much easier. When I think of wedding venues I think of cold fussy places but this was the opposite and everyone was so comfortable! Not sure how they got the rain stop just in time, but it happened!
We are so glad that we chose Morris Peaceland Farm as our wedding venue. Morris Peaceland Farm is an enchanting venue.
There are many reasons why we decided to chose Morris Peac...
eland Farm for our venue however, our top two reasons were the people and the location.
1. The People
We toured the venue with Kathi Morris. When reflecting back on the tour we felt that Kathi was genuinely invested in her couples and making the day exactly what they envision. We worked with Kathi and Maglen frequently leading up to our big day. They were both very responsive, helpful, supportive, and a pleasure to work with.
I'd highly recommend connecting with their suggested vendors. We selected a suggested photographer, K Star's Photography and a suggested DJ, Epic DJ Entertainment (Apex). Our DJ ended up referring our officiant who absolutely nailed our ceremony, Ingrid Sagula We felt like we were surrounded by sincere people that were truly motivated to make our day the best it could be!
2. The Location
Morris Peaceland Farm is extremely convenient to downtown Raleigh and Cary but it feels like you're removed from all the city hustle and bustle. It's like you're in a secret garden tucked away. The road is set away from the venue. You don't have cars flying by, sirens every ten minutes, etc. It's beautiful during the day and at night. We had our ceremony at the dock which we loved! There are many different spots for beautiful photos. Our guests loved walking around the venue taking in all the outdoor splendor! We received many compliments from our guests regarding the venue and how beautiful it was!
In addition to the amazing people and gorgeous location:
-They have a huge inventory of items you can use which includes various tables, design items, easels, etc.
-We didn't have to rent chairs, tables, or linen as it came with booking the venue!
-They have a calligrapher which we utilized heavily for our table assignments, various mirrors, and frames. Every single item was exactly what we requested.
We would highly recommend having your wedding or any event at Morris Peaceland Farm!
This venue was exceptional. We toured Morris Peaceland 3 years before our wedding. It was the first venue we toured and visited 3 others but kept coming back to our first find. ...
It was more than large enough for our party of about 50 people with plenty of room to spare. Our wedding was in the evening during dusk in the fall. We were married on the peninsula which was romantic, quaint, and intimate. They provided 90% of everything that we could have needed from chairs and tables to decorations and flatware. There was plenty of parking and we could not beat the price for what was included. The family and staff were incredibly kind and humored us while we asked to visit multiple times over the coming years.
The venue is magical and will not disappoint. Your guests will enjoy a walk around the pond, seeing the horses, and the beauty the venue has to offer. The decorations inventory pro...
vided by the venue is incredibly helpful and will decrease your costs for decor. I do recommended this venue but I don’t recommend hiring MPF decorators or day of coordinator. I had made a detailed inventory list of decorations as well as a document with clear instructions on how I wanted the decor setup. I confirmed with the decorators weeks before that they had no questions about my vision for my wedding day or about the instructions I had spent a lengthy time crafting. On my wedding day the ceremony seating was not set up as I had indicated with the seating chart, the guestbook and gift table was not setup correctly, and some of the decorations I had selected were not even set up. I did not have a huge ask for decorations, it was mostly candles and I even provided detailed pictures of specific setups. I was very disappointed with this because I had hired MPF to decorate as a gift to our families so they could enjoy the wedding. After the wedding I emailed MPF expressing my concerns, they never responded so I followed up and still have yet to receive a response.
We had a great experience with Morris Peaceland as our venue. Kathi was very kind and accommodating. She truly loves the property and being a part of a couple's story. Her passion ...
for it shows by making a beautiful venue special down to the last detail. We loved the laid back, romantic atmosphere. We received many compliments and were told that everyone had as much fun as we did. The pricing was the most reasonable we saw when we were starting our search, especially factoring in how much is included. Kathi is very proud of her collection of decor, china, and odds and ends. It was really nice to not have to worry about bringing a lot of these things ourselves. There were hook ups for the band's equipment, bridal and groomsmen suites, and cute, clean bathrooms. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Morris Peaceland was such an amazing venue!! We fell in love with the venue as soon as we pulled in the gates. Kathi and Maglen were great to work with and didn't miss a detail. T...
hey have a huge inventory of items we could use during the wedding including chalkboards, coolers, and centerpieces so it was a great way to cut cost. The bride and groom suites to get ready in are not very large. We had 10 on the girls side and it was fine but a little bit tight. The boys had 11 and they were kind of squished and hot. They said that the venue held 220 but our 190 guests was pretty tight, so keep that in mind. The coordinator we got from Morris Peaceland, Kristy was a lot of help the day of! We got so many compliments on the venue after the wedding and I would 100% recommend this place!!
From the moment you walk thru the gates of Morris Peaceland Farm , you are treated like family. Our 1st child was married on this special property. The wedding was wonderful. M...
y daughter & son in law were so happy with their experience:
The photos were fabulous because the property is stunning.
Cocktails hour with games and property for guests to wander.
The dressing rooms comfortable and full of character & ambience.
Plenty of room for Caters to set up and clean up.
A room for a photo booth
A fire pit for s’mores and conversations for their fall wedding.
Ample parking And a great entrance and exit Flow for those who Ubered to the event.
A dance floor that was spacious for all to dance
Two bar areas for ease of guests
And 100 little things that helped make this wedding beautiful like lanterns, table numbers,
guest seating board, dessert stand, wine barrels, calligraphy menus, and so much more.
Kathi @ her staff were helpful, informative and organized during all stages of planning this wedding.
She fielded many many questions from this mom and celebrated this day right along with us. Morris Peaceland is a slice of heaven right around the corner from us.
I had my dream wedding here in October. Kathi is one of the kindest people and extremely easy to work with. She answered any and all questions we had leading up to our wedding date...
. There were so many decorations that we could use to transform the venue into exactly what we pictured. We also had almost 200 guests and the space accommodated everyone perfectly along with all of our vendors that were brought in. There were beautiful places for pictures all around the venue and even nice quiet spots where we could go and have a second alone with each other. I highly recommend having you’re wedding here! I wouldn’t change a thing about our special day.
This venue is absolutely amazing! Kathi and team make it such an easy day but also an easy planning process. Even though it was pouring down rain most of the day I was still able t...
o have the ceremony I wanted without having to worry about a thing. They were super accommodating the whole way, they have so many decorations available for brides to use for reception tables and ceremonies and the views are amazing. If you are on the fence about booking them you shouldn’t be, it will be the best decision you make for your wedding!
I cannot say enough good things about Morris Peaceland Farm and their staff. From the minute we walked on the property, we knew it was perfect for our wedding, and Kathi only made...
the decision easier. She was accommodating to all of our requests and was extremely easy to communicate with and always responded in a timely manner. We visited and re-visited the farm multiple times for vendor and otherwise visits and she was nothing but accommodating. This venue is a hidden gem in the Raleigh area.
We had our date booked for may 16th and we were given the option to have a reception for 10 people or move the date which we could not do.
It was not feasible to pay $6800 for a w...
edding for 10 people. The venue refused to refund any portion of the deposit(which was half) of the half, claiming "Act of GOD''
Absolute utter disappointment, not only did we lose the entire deposit but we also missed out on a special day.
Please, buyer, beware of the clause in the contract.
Our big downtown wedding was cancelled due to COVID-19 but we still wanted to get married on our original date with a few close friends and family present with a small but socially...
distant reception. I reached our to Kathi about a week before our wedding and she was AMAZING. They helped us out in our eleventh hour and made our day far better than expected. The farm is GORGEOUS with several spaces that are perfect for a ceremony. Kathi, the owner, is so kind and accommodating. We ended up with a way better day than we had dared to dream we could have. I cannot say enough words about how incredible this place is.
This venue is beautiful and the owners were amazing. You can choose your own caterer and bring your own alcohol, what more could you want? :)
There are multiple packages to choos...
e from with one including a day-of coordinator which was so great to have. My husband and I were married there on Aug 31st and our guests are still raving about how gorgeous it was. Makes for amazing photos!! There are even decorations there that can be used so we didnt spend any extra money on decor. I am beyond thrilled and would recommend this venue to absolutely anyone! No matter how large or small you want your wedding, this place is perfect.
This was an amazing a beautiful place for a wedding!! They went above and beyond for us! Our guests had a wonderful time and we couldn't of asked for a more special day!!
Absolutely gorgeous venue with amazing owners! This property has an amazing rustic but elegant feel! Has many options for ceremony locations as well as reception set ups! There is ...
a backup option for rain (almost happened at mine) built into the property! The owner is amazing and she will help you with anything from the small details to the major vendors you may need! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!
