- 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!🤍🥂
- Madalyn HeroldAssociate Director of Events / Social Media ManagerHi, I’m Madalyn! I’m the Associate Director of Events and Social Media Manager at The Harrington Venue. I love helping wedding days run smoothly while capturing and sharing the special moments that make each celebration unique. Outside of the venue, I work full-time as an outpatient pediatric nurse and spend time behind the camera as a photographer and wedding content creator, preserving meaningful memories for couples. My Christian faith is an important part of my life and guides the way I serve others. When I’m not at the venue or behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with loved ones, hanging out with my beagle puppy and husband, or thrifting. I cannot wait to celebrate our Harrington couples! 💍

y beautiful options for ceremony spaces and the property is stunning! We held both our ceremony and reception indoors, with cocktail hour outside by the fireplace and had plenty of space for everything. They also have large rooms for getting ready which worked out perfectly. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is amazing!

Being the first couple to get married here, The Harrington will always hold a special place in my heart! Not only is it beyond stunning, but they also thought of every detail to ma...
ke for the perfect wedding venue. Placed on a historic farm in Broadway, NC, just a short 45-minute drive from Raleigh, NC, you will be overtaken by the natural beauty of the farm and the professional landscaping on the property. It feels like you've been dropped into a true piece of elegance right in the peaceful countryside! The Harrington created such a stunning landscape for a beautiful ceremony and reception without the need to add a lot. From the moment we stepped through the door we were welcomed and showered with love! Getting ready in the bridal suite was a dream! The lighting was perfect, and the space was gorgeous and perfectly well-suited for us girls to get ready. My husband and his groomsmen also had a fun time in their grooms suite, which is decked out with games and is optimal for their getting ready process as well. The main room is BEYOND STUNNING and has endless opportunities and spaces for beautiful photography! Our guests raved that it was so beautiful and one of the best weddings they had ever attended, thanks to The Harrington team! The Harrington is fantastic in that it offers so many different options in how to host your event. You have the option to use the main venue area with a stunning GRAND fireplace. You can use the waterfront gazebo as an outdoor space or the covered outdoor pavilion to the left of the venue! This made our day flow so easily since there were both indoor and outdoor spaces for the guests to gather in throughout the day. I was so calm on my wedding day because I knew I had the very best team working with us. If I could do it all again, I would! It was the best day and the most wonderful and beautiful experience! I cannot recommend The Harrington as a venue enough - you will be working with the most elegant space and enormously helpful individuals!
