The Harrington Estate
Where Southern Charm meets Modern Luxury
Holds ceremonies and receptions
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue or a better team than The Harrington! From the moment we booked until our wedding day, Meredith and Madeline were incredible to work with. Throughout our nine-month planning process, they were always responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure everything came together perfectly.
Since we were responsible for hiring our own vendors and ensuring they were all properly insured, Meredith and Madeline consistently checked in to make sure we were on track. They worked seamlessly with our coordinators, making the entire planning process much less stressful.
One of the biggest reasons we chose The Harrington was that they provided eight hours the day before the wedding for setup and our rehearsal. Being able to have everything set up ahead of time meant we could truly relax and enjoy our wedding day without worrying about last-minute details.
Our wedding turned out absolutely perfect. We held our ceremony under the covered pavilion, cocktail hour in the circle drive, and our reception both inside and outside the venue. The space was stunning, and everything flowed beautifully throughout the day.
The only thing we wish had been different was having more reasonably priced table linen package options. Other than that, our experience was outstanding from start to finish.
We are so grateful to Meredith, Madeline, and everyone at The Harrington for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed of. We wholeheartedly recommend The Harrington to any couple looking for a gorgeous venue with an exceptional team. They played a huge part in making our day absolutely perfect, and we couldn't be happier with our experience.
We truly could not have asked for a better wedding venue! From the moment we started planning to the very end of our wedding day, the entire team was incredibly helpful, kind, and organized. They made everything so easy and were always there to answer questions and make sure every detail was taken care of.
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. Every space is stunning, and it made the perfect backdrop for our wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests on how gorgeous everything was.
If you’re looking for a venue with an amazing team and a beautiful space, I can’t recommend them enough. They helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be!

- Meredith DenkinsDirector of EventsHi, I’m Meredith! I am the Lead Director of Events at The Harrington Venue. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Kaleb, and my love for weddings began while planning my own special day. That experience sparked my passion for helping couples create meaningful, beautiful celebrations that reflect their unique story. In addition to my role at the venue, I also work full-time and enjoy staying busy serving others in different ways. I’m also a graduate of Campbell University and a proud Broadway local. As a Christian, my faith, family, and community mean the world to me. When I’m not at the venue, you can usually find me spending time with my family and my sweet fur babies. Cheers!🤍🥂
