Beautiful setting with ugly business practices. Robbing families of fees for events that cannot be legally held due to COVID 19 crisis. Couples should not be forced to delay their nuptials or celebration because they are being held hostage by a venue who is too greedy to refund fees during a pandemic and an uncertain regulatory future. Heartless and pathetic.

My husband, James, and I got married at the Merrimon-Wynne House on December 15th, 2024! It was truly a dream come true working with the venue from start to finish. I walked into the house with my mom and best friend at their fall showcase in 2023 and immediately got teary... It's like magic seeing that grand staircase and those beautiful chandeliers. Then we met Sasha, and it was a done deal!
I can't recommend Sasha enough as your planner. She was attentive to every e-mail, every question, every single detail; She allowed me to talk things over with her on calls that I'm sure she didn't really have time for but made time for! Plus she became a true friend to me/us during the planning process! I'll never be able to thank her enough for paying as much attention to our special day as I did. Lindsey Simmons, too, as she was able to help everything fall perfectly into place leading up to the day-of, as well as day-of.
We'll be dreaming of and talking about this day forever. I can't recommend the MW House enough!

My husband and I are so glad we booked this venue! The venue felt comfortable like you were at home, while also exuding an upscale old Raleigh vibe. The house was perfect for getting ready and taking such gorgeous pictures. The mantles also allowed for us to make our wedding more personable with pictures of us, friends, family and more! The lawn was gorgeous for our fall wedding with market lights, lounges, and a bar. The carriage house was way bigger than I anticipated, and was a perfect backdrop to decorate however best fit your vision!
I predominately worked with Lindsey Simmons as my MW liaison, and she was STUNNING!!! She was so professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our day so special! Im so clumsy, and managed to get dirt all over my dress right before the ceremony, and she was so helpful in grabbing things to clean my desk. I’m so grateful she was part of our day, and couldn’t imagine it without her!
Part of the required vendors list includes a wedding planner. At first I was a bit skeptical as to what I would need a wedding planner for….but my gosh I’m not sure how I would have functioned without Heather Lawson. She’s part of the MW in house planning team, and is an absolute gem! I still to this day, and forever will repeat that there was not a single thing I would change about that day, she made sure it was absolutely perfect and flowed so magically! She is so attentive, kind, and radiates positivity and love! I was able to not think or stress about one single detail during our wedding, as she was so on top of everything! Absolutely love her, and recommend her to everyone that ever gets married!

We had our dream wedding at the Merrimon-Wynne House on a perfect fall October day! What is made it perfect was the staff and the venue. This location has it all with so many options for the guests between the ceremony outdoors, the cocktail hour in the main house, and the reception in the carriage house. It is also amazing for pictures! Kaila, Lucy and Eliza were so supportive to make our day so special!

I could write a novel-length review and still not cover all the wonderful things about MWH and our coordinator, Sasha. It was an absolute dream to have areas for getting ready, the ceremony, the reception, and lawn games all in one venue - and the Merrimon Wynne is just absolutely stunning all around. I actually think the venue itself did a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of making our wedding look as great as it did.
Our tour was extremely thorough, and the packets they gave us during the tour and the additional brochures they showed us with images from past weddings were all extremely helpful for imagining what our own wedding could look like in the space. During the tour, they even walked us through what they have at the venue that's available for use and where past couples have used them, which also helped us mentally imagine different layouts and aesthetic designs.
The entire team is also a dream come true. Sasha gave us our tour and was also our coordinator, and we could not have pulled off our wedding without her. She was extremely organized, ran a perfectly smooth rehearsal and day of, and did a lot of reassuring along the way that it would all work out perfectly. She also brought an amazing sense of humor to it all that made even the stressful planning fun. I will sing her praises forever.
But it would be a shame to not mention the rest of the team. Even people who were digital only with me were so insanely on top of even the tiniest details and would graciously ping me again if work got crazy and I was slow to respond. I leaned on them a lot since I didn't have a planner, and they came through and went above and beyond every single time. Plus, they're all just such kind, caring humans that every interaction was a pleasure and a joy and we'll look back at even the planning process as such a great moment for us because of the energy they brought to every call and every meeting.
The venue also turned out to be a dream for our guests. We got married in our 30s and we knew our crew probably weren't big dancers, so we coordinated using one of the rooms in the main house as the dance floor. It was perfection! Even with a few people dancing, it felt lively and not empty, with plenty of perfect areas for people to break off for chats or some lawn games. It's a house that feels like there's a new treasure around every corner, and you could see our guests discover that throughout the night.
They also have their own liquor license, which made coordinating the bar very simple. It was also a nice touch to be able to book a bar package but then add on a single bottle of things we wanted based on cocktails or drinks we knew some of our nearest and dearest loved.
Already hoping we'll get the chance to book at the MWH again for an anniversary gathering of everyone.

If you're looking for an absolute dream wedding, look no further than The Merrimon-Wynne! The team is truly exceptional, working like a well-oiled machine to ensure your day runs seamlessly. From the aesthetics of the venue to their expert coordination with vendors, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond, making the entire experience stress-free and unforgettable. Our wedding day was simply perfect, and I can't recommend this venue enough. It was everything we hoped for and more—just an incredible experience from start to finish!

We had the absolute best experience at Merrimon Wynne for our wedding this summer! Everything was so attentive, beautiful, easy to plan and everything we imagined. We decided to use their in house planning and had the privilege of working with Sasha throughout the entire planning process. Sasha is the sweetest person to exist and we are so so glad we were chosen as her clients. She is on top of it ALWAYS! The day of, everything was seamless and stress free thanks to Sasha and her team. She somehow brought our vision to life!! I wasn’t sure how everything was going to look all together once all of our choices were in one place, but it was even better than we imagined! The day was perfect and I seriously will miss working with Sasha. Highly, highly recommend this location and the in house planning team!
Our guests have repeatedly told us and our families that this was one of the best weddings they have attended. I believe this is all due to the attention to detail, care, polish and professionalism of the team at MW. We loved this venue and will always have the happiest memories of our wedding day!

Merrimon-Wynne is truly the best of the best! It's the most gorgeous wedding venue, and the in-house planning team is a dream to work with. We were married there in June 2024 and couldn't be happier with how the day came together. For those looking for a convenient, beautiful, classic venue and wanting to create an experience that you and your guests will cherish, look no further - this is it.
The house is very conveniently located in downtown Raleigh, so guests can either stay in hotels near Glenwood or in Airbnbs within walking distance of the house. The landscaping is *chef's kiss* and creates this beautiful secluded garden feel even with the streets surrounding it. The house itself is jaw-droppingly stunning. The second we walked in on our tour I knew it was the place for us - the windows! the wood floors! the fireplaces! THE PORCHES! I loved it all. And the Carriage House is perfect for a reception, and comfortably fit 150 guests and a hefty stage for a band.
At every moment throughout the planning process, we felt so well taken care of. The team thought through ALL the details and was so helpful in making vendor recommendations and ensuring I was on track with everything. In particular, Sasha Buslovich was my saving grace throughout the 1.5 years of planning. She consistently went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life and was so flexible and understanding throughout the process as plans shifted some (as they tend to do). Her joy, positivity, creativity and can-do attitude made me feel so confident in her as a partner. We couldn't have done it without her and her fabulous team!
Choosing Merrimon-Wynne was the easiest and best decision we made throughout the planning process. Truly a no-brainer.

The MW House was everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding. In house planning with Sasha was so helpful throughout the process. The venue is gorgeous, everyone is kind, organized, and goes out of their way to make your day perfect. I can’t say enough good things about this venue and the entire staff!

We had the best experience working with the Merrimon-Wynne team! We used their internal planning package and did not regret it! Sasha was super helpful during every stage of the process. I know we wouldn't have gotten through wedding day without her! The MW house offered such a beautiful backdrop for our vision and the team helped bring it to life. On wedding day, every detail was accounted for and every request was fulfilled. We really have nothing to complain about!
We loved how most of our vendors were familiar with the MW House. We did not encounter any trouble finding vendors willing to work there and do not know of any issues anyone had in planning or on wedding day. Sasha was super detail oriented and had contacted everyone before wedding day with a schedule so everything ran seamlessly.
Our guests had a wonderful experience as well. Drinks never took too long to make and they were always healthy pours! The historic house provided a cozy yet luxurious environment for cocktail hour. As we made our way to the carriage house for dinner and dancing, the team made sure everything was set beautifully. The rest of the evening went by so quickly but I'm told it was the best party ever! The MW team helped keep things moving.
It's been 5 months since my wedding day and I still wish I could relive it over and over! I will be forever grateful to the Merrimon-Wynne team for helping put on the most special day. I hope I get to use the venue for a anniversary party someday!

The Merrimon Wynne house was everything we wanted in a venue. It is stunning, classic, and timeless. On top of this the in house planning is incredible. We worked with Sasha and Kendall and these are woman that get stuff done. The communication was unmatched and their eye to detail was impeccable. They were on it from start to finish. The day of, the world could have been burning down and I would have never known. To assisting with vendors, my crazy questions, and rowdy groomsmen Sasha got it all taken care of effortlessly. She has an amazing eye for detail and organizational skills like no other. Sasha, Kendall and the vendors they recommended to me made all my dreams come true and left me blown away. Literally my Pinterest board was not even as good as the wedding they helped create. They made sure my husband and i were relaxed and felt taken care of all day on our wedding. It was truly the best day of my life and that is thanks to the both of them. Get married here and use Sasha and Kendall you will not regret it!!!!

From the moment we toured The Merrimon-Wynne House we knew we wanted to have our wedding there! The property and house are gorgeous with so many unique details while still being neutral enough to accommodate your personal style.
We used their in house design team and were blown away with the quality of the service we received! Sasha and Nicole were so helpful and responsive. Their organization and attention to detail put my Type-A personality at ease throughout the whole planning process! And the day of the wedding the entire team went above and beyond to ensure everything went off without a hitch!
Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was. The Merrimon-Wynne House far exceeded our expectations!

My husband and I contracted the Merrimon-Wynne House for our wedding on March 11th, 2024. We talked with Kaila Anderson & Sasha about a year and a half prior to our wedding date. They were so helpful with scheduling virtual tours and several meetings to talk through our wedding vision and goals. It was daunting to pick a wedding venue for our destination wedding but they made the decision for our venue easier!
We were a little shocked by the list of required vendors (and their minimums) that came with the signed venue contract, but it worked out in the end.
We were able to stick to our budget and meet all of the vendor requirements (4 required vendors: florist, caterer, rentals, & coordinator).
Our wedding day was perfect- the venue was beautiful and our day-of venue coordinator, Lindsey, provided by the MW made sure everything was set up the way we requested. I highly recommend this wedding venue if you are looking for a beautiful, accessible Southern venue. The staff are engaging, knowledgeable, and offer support throughout the planning process.

We had Sasha as our planner, and Lucy as our venue coordinator - these ladies are best in class!! Sasha went above and beyond to make things easy for us during the planning process. She was extremely responsive, organized, kind, and seriously helped mitigate any stress. She made me feel like she was just as excited for my wedding as I was!! She managed vendor communications so well and her elaborate wedding day timeline made the wedding day seamless. She ensured all the small details were in order behind the scenes and we could not have been more grateful. I am so thankful to have had this jack-of-all-trades wedding planner who became a friend by the end of our planning process. Lucy also was so professional and organized when it came to venue coordination. She was so helpful on the wedding day and in the months leading up!! 10/10 recommend!!

The Merrimon-Wynne has been my dream venue since I moved to Raleigh in 2016. I’ve followed along on Instagram and dreamed about what my wedding could look like there. When my (now) husband and I got engaged and started our venue search there were only a few things we both really wanted. 1) Separate spaces for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception; 2) separate, dedicated spaces for the bride and groom to get ready; 3) a beautiful backdrop for the most special day of our lives. The Merrimon-Wynne delivered on all 3 and more and was an absolute no-brainer when it came to making the final decision.
Our planning and coordinating team, Sasha and Lucy, were above and beyond amazing! The organizational tools that Sasha provided were so helpful and working with her was amazing! I am a bit of a control freak but handing over control to Sasha, Lucy and their team was incredibly easy since I knew they had all of our wants and needs covered! I didn’t have to worry about a single thing day of.
The venue itself is gorgeous. The pictures I had seen were amazing, but they don’t even do it justice. They have thought of literally everything and designed everything with care. The grooms suite was the most thoughtful we had seen throughout our venue tour and my husband and his groomsmen really enjoyed getting to spend time together playing poker and foosball. The bridal suite is spacious, gorgeous, and the perfect place to get ready. The options for our ceremony space were all beautiful, we ended up using the lawn and placing the arbor under the large trees. It was the most beautiful backdrop to a perfect ceremony. The cocktail hour inside the house was beautifully setup and having 2 bars was amazing for our guest count! We opted to also have some yard games and lounge furniture in the lawn during cocktail hour and our reception and it was perfect for the beautiful and warm late October weather! The Carriage House is beautiful and the setup that Sasha and the team did was beyond my wildest dreams, everything was PERFECT!
We had the most special day and Merrimon-Wynne was the perfect setting. We are forever grateful to Sasha, Lucy, and the rest of the team and can’t wait to celebrate more special occasions with The Merrimon-Wynne!

My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at the Merrimon-Wynne House in October 2023 and we cannot say enough praises about this venue and our amazing day-of coordinator, Lindsey.
From the moment Kaila gave us a tour of the Merrimon-Wynne, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue is full of charm and intimacy which made us certain we’d feel surrounded by our loved ones all day and evening. One of the stand out features was the convenience of having everything in one place, from getting ready in the most gorgeous bridal suite filled with natural light, to getting married outside on the lawn, to having a cocktail hour on the bottom floor, and a reception in the carriage house. Every space was utilized and the flow made our day a dream.
Our experience was elevated further by Lindsey, our day-of coordinator from Merrimon-Wynne. In the lead up, she went above and beyond making sure all of our questions were answered. She helped me tremendously with the bar quote, coordinating lunch for our getting ready time, and also designed cute printouts from the Photo Booth that matched our invitations! Lindsey’s kindness, attentiveness, and calming presence was a true blessing! She always made sure Adam and I had everything we needed, also ensuring our glasses were never empty and our entire day ran smoothly :-)
We whole heartedly recommend Merrimon-Wynne as a wedding venue! The staff’s exceptional service, attention to detail, and the overall charm of the venue made our wedding day truly unforgettable. Thank you Kaila, Lindsey, and the Merrimon-Wynne team for all of your help!

As a bride who works in the wedding industry I cannot recommend the MW team enough! We worked with Sasha for Event Management/In-House Coordination and Lindsay was our day of Venue Coordinator. I truly cannot express how much I recommend this team from the execution to professionalism to actually getting to know myself and husband and connecting with us on a deeper level. Our day was greater than we could have imagined and executed flawlessly. Also every time we needed something or even turned around we always had a staff member there with open arms ready to help, grab us water (it was a very hot July day) or do anything we needed!!
All in all this is your sign to book the Merrimon-Wynne House for your wedding or event and to use their In-House Planning and I promise you wont regret it!

The Merrimon-Wynne House is truly the most magical wedding venue on earth!! Everyone on the team worked so hard to make our day perfect in every way imaginable. The venue truly speaks for itself and captures a timeless, elegant, and picturesque feel. From the view of the front house that stops you in your tracks, each room that tells its own story, breathtaking lawn, and huge carriage house, MW offers an array of venues all wrapped up in one. We simply could not have imagined a better location to get married.
Our day would not have been complete without the hard work of the MW planning team (Huge shoutout to Sasha and Lindsey) . Each member greeted us as if we were old friends being reunited. They celebrated us throughout the wedding planning process and helped execute a flawless day. But, none of this would have been possible without our planner, Sasha Buslovich! Sasha is someone you instantly fall in love with and feel so connected with. She is SO attentive to details and listens to every thought you have throughout the planning process. She is hard working, on top of every detail, and is hands down the best wedding planner you could ever find. Sasha truly takes the time to get to know her couples on a personal level and by the end of our wedding planning she felt like a close friend who knew us inside and out. She is truly one of the most exceptional women we have ever met!! We are FOREVER grateful for the wonderful team at MW who made our day everything we could have ever imagined and more.

Truly the best decision we made during the wedding planning process was booking Merrimon-Wynne as our wedding venue. It is not just a venue, it is an EXPERIENCE. After touring other venues in the Triangle during the early planning process, no other venues compared to the elegance and natural beauty of MW. As soon as we walked in, we were blown away by the space; from the spacious house, to the immaculate lawn and carriage house, I cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Lindsey and Kaila made the booking process absolutely seamless, and were an absolute joy to work with during the planning process. After you book this venue, go ahead and book Heather Lawson as your wedding planner! Heather is part of the MW Planning Team, which is top notch. Heather combines her expertise, knowledge, connections, and incredible style to create the dream aesthetic. Our wedding night was an absolute dream thanks to Heather and her team! She helped bring our vision to life. Between the MW planning team and in-house coordinators, my husband and I worried about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING the day of. I was able to relax and enjoy every second of our wedding day with family and friends. Thank you for making our wedding a day we will never forget!

From day 1 on our tour, to the day of our wedding, we couldn’t have been more thankful for the Merrimon-Wynne staff and their wedding expertise.
We worked closely with Heather and Lindsey, and they did an excellent job balancing the varying needs, wants, visions, and budget for our wedding. Heather was such a fantastic resource for me as a bride, she’s an expert on everything bridal in the area and could always point me in the right direction! The entire process was very overwhelming for me, but Heather made it a breeze.
As we got closer to the wedding, both Heather and Lindsey were super helpful with the finishing details. They really thought of everything and helped take such a burden off of the bride, groom, and family, so we could kick back and enjoy.
The day of the wedding, they were like fairy godmothers! Every detail, every cue was perfect. They made sure my glass was never empty and were never far away if we needed help. As I told them after the wedding, I never plan to get married again, but if I do, I’ll be back in a heartbeat!

My hubsand and I have lived in downtown Raleigh for 5+ years and knew we wanted to get married in the heart of Raleigh. We toured a few venues and liked MW the best. While I thought it was pretty and made for a beautiful venue, it wasn't until we started working with Sasha that I realized how lucky we we were with our decision.
Sasha is a dream come true for any couple planning their wedding. From making the day of timeline, to her communication and facilitation of vendors, to her organization of google drive -- she is the reason I actually ENJOYED planning my wedding, rather than feeling completely stressed.
The week leading up to the wedding, we had family in town and were busy with dinners and hosting. All my friends and family were shocked that I wasn't in the weeds of last minute wedding details. I realized then how at ease I felt going into the big day --- why?? SASHA! She knew every detail of the wedding better than I did. When the day came, I got to relax in the bridal suite with my friends, getting hair and make up done, while Sasha and Lucy talked with the vendors and turned MW into my dream wedding. The whole day was magical and turned out better than I could have ever imagined.
If you want to get married in Raleigh, I can't recommend MW enough. Sign the contract and get Sasha as your wedding planner. The only downside is that I now want to do it over and over again :)

We are beyond thrilled with our experience at Merrimon-Wynne House. Kaila and Lindsey were incredibly easy to work with, detail-oriented, and professional. Their responsiveness and expert guidance made the planning process a breeze.
The venue itself is breathtaking, meticulously kept, and versatile. Even when the threat of inclement weather forced us to move our dream outdoor wedding indoors, the indoor setting proved just as beautiful and magical.
Our guests consistently raved about the venue's beauty, which left a lasting impression on everyone. Merrimon-Wynne House truly went above and beyond to ensure our day was seamless and wonderful.
If you're looking for a stunning venue and a dedicated team to execute your vision flawlessly, Merrimon-Wynne House is the perfect choice. Our wedding was a dream come true, thanks to their outstanding efforts. Highly recommended!

If you’re getting married at the MW, my strongest piece of advice is to get Heather as your wedding planner or coordinator. There are not enough words to describe what she did for us. She is the perfect combination of dedicated to your vision and comfortable using her experience with hundreds of weddings to help guide you to make your day a dream. She is kind, thoughtful, compassionate, professional, firm when she needs to be, and absolutely did it all to help our day go smoothly. We had to make last minute changes to our event because of weather, and other vendors were remarking to us that our event was so well executed they felt relaxed and able to focus on capturing our day and making it special. Heather made the whole day feel like a dream and we could not have done it without her. Additionally, we’d highly recommend asking Heather for recommendations for other vendors. She really knows who is the best and we are so grateful that we took her advice with who else to hire.
We also can't imagine a better venue experience with the MW and especially Kendall. The team went above and beyond to make our wedding day experience perfect. We got married in a tropical storm and Kendall and her team pulled out all thee stops to make the MW house look beautiful and make our plan B feel better than a plan A. The team was constantly drying the house, floor, and setting up umbrellas and coverings to keep our guests dry and safe and we had numerous other vendors remark that it was increible how smoothly the day ran . Kendall worked with us to design a bar package that was of our dreams, including sourcing our favorite local beers that we specifically requested, which was no easy task! On the day of our wedding, Kendall and everyone at MW had our best interests at heart and were enthusiastic, positive, and professional.

I had my wedding at the Merrimon Wynne in April of 2023. It was a stunning day. I worked closely with Lucy and she helped make it the day of my dreams. The Merrimon Wynne was the first thing I picked in regards to my wedding and they even helped me find some other vendors. Lucy's kindness, attention to detail, and overall amazing personality helped the day run smoothly. I had EXTREME unexpected rain the day of my wedding and I thought it would have messed everything up but it didn't, Lucy and the MW were extremely prepared and worked efficiently with all the vendors I had. The pictures were also perfect. It's a beautiful venue inside and out.

The Merrimon-Wynne had always been my dream venue and after recently saying our I do's there, I can say that it did not disappoint. We used their in-house planning services, working with Sasha and Kendall, and it made the daunting task of planning a wedding SO easy. Sasha's expertise in every area, organizational skills, and rapport with vendors kept everything on schedule and running smoothly. Both she and Kendall are excellent at timely communications and are just all around nice people to work with!

We had our wedding here and used their In-House planning services and we cannot say enough how great the staff and venue are. We worked with Sasha and Kendall and the planning process could not have been easier. It was convenient to have a planner and coordinator who knew the ins and outs of the venue. The whole staff did a fantastic job putting everything together. They went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met throughout the whole process and on our big day. I did not have to worry about a thing. They are super friendly and accommodating that everything went super smoothly. The venue is gorgeous and classic and was the perfect backdrop to our intimate wedding. Every single one of our guests came up to us to gush about the venue and staff. We appreciate everything they did for us and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of hosting their special day here.

Our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding at the Merrimon-Wynne House on 3/18/23. All our wedding dreams came true that day. We had a gorgeous, sunny day for the ceremony outside and a beautiful reception for 200 in the Carriage house. Everything exceeded our expectations and that day is one we will never forget. Heather Lawson and Sasha Buslovich were incredible as our wedding planner and in-house planner. Not only are they kind and fun to work with but both are meticulous about details. They were caring and attentive to our family and the wedding party. I cannot recommend them enough.

We cannot recommend The Merrimon-Wynne House for a wedding more. The character and history of the house is unmatched. The entire property is gorgeous! From the moment we toured the venue, the MW staff were so wonderful and genuinely fun to work with.
For our big day we chose to use their in-house MW Planning and Design team, Heather and Sasha. They are the most amazing dynamic duo, that make planning a wedding completely stress-free. They were there to support us every step of the way and were such a blessing!
Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and getting married at the MW House was an amazing experience. Guests still are telling us how much fun they had and how wonderful the venue and staff were.
The MW House and their incredible team are the best. So, if you have a special event coming up look no further because The Merrimon-Wynne House is perfect!

The Merrimon-Wynne House was the most amazing wedding venue, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better venue for our October wedding. We loved that we could celebrate all of our events on our big day at the Merrimon – we had a beautiful ceremony out on the lawn, our cocktail hour in the main house and then our reception in the gorgeous carriage house. You can’t beat the location – right downtown Raleigh, walking distance from a lot of hotels and there is ample free parking (which is rare for downtown Raleigh!)
Sasha and the Merrimon Wynne staff were so easy to work with and made sure our day was absolutely perfect. Throughout the entire planning process, Sasha was so responsive, professional and helpful. Two weeks before the wedding, we found out that there was going to be a 5K the morning of the wedding that blocked off all surrounding streets – making it difficult for the bridal party, hair and make up and other vendors to get in. Sasha worked to help determine new routes, and kept us updated on when the roads were reopening - she put me at ease throughout the whole situation and throughout the entire day!
We are so thankful for Sasha and the Merrimon Wynne Team – thanks to them and all our vendors, our day was absolutely perfect. We can not recommend the Merrimon Wynne enough!

I had been eyeing the Merrimon-Wynne even prior to getting engaged, and I can safely say having our wedding there exceeded all of our hopes and expectations! MW has excellent indoor and outdoor space, providing so many options for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. So many of our guests complimented us on how gorgeous the venue was! Plus, the location can't be beat -- being right in downtown Raleigh made getting around that much easier, particularly for our friends and family from out of town. Finally, the staff are incredible! Abby was an absolute delight to work with -- through postponing our larger wedding to 2021 and then putting together an intimate minimony in 2020, she and the rest of the MW staff showed nothing but patience, kindness, flexibility, and professionalism. Both days were an absolute DREAM and I could not recommend getting married at the MW more!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience getting married at Merrimon-Wynne. The venue is gorgeous and has a wonderful mix of indoor and outdoor space. Many of our guests let us know how glad they were that they could go outside during the reception if they wanted to. We were also in wonderful hands with Mary and the team there - we had plenty of support leading up to the wedding day and on the day of, and like some other reviewers said we felt like we didn't have to lift a finger the entire day. Highly recommend!

We had our dream wedding at Merrimon Wynne 2-26-22 and it was nothing short of magical. It had been a stressful week leading up to it with a change in our photographer as well as a snowstorm cancelling almost half of our guests flights but Abby & the MW team made sure our day was beyond perfect. We didn't have to lift a finger all day! The venue itself is so beautiful that every guest came up to us to compliment some detail. Tenting the lawn with a clear top tent was also a dream come true and allowed us to utilize each space MW had to offer. I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else and will forever love our day at Merrimon-Wynne!

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.

When looking for a wedding venue, you want to find a place that will exceed your expectations and the Merrimon Wynne House certainly did on not only one, but two occasions. The venue is kept at such a high standard and you never have to worry about an inch of it looking less than perfect on your wedding day. All staff was so accommodating to our requests and made sure that our days were nothing short of perfect. Abby, in particular, was such a joy and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were set with everything we needed. This is such a special place and we couldn't have been happier to select it as our wedding venue.

We booked our wedding at the Merrimon-Wynne House and we are so thankful we did! Abby made sure our special day was perfect! She was amazing! Throughout the entire planning process she was responsive and professional. Though wedding planning tends to be stressful, working with Abby and Merrimon-Wynne helped to ease the stress!! Our wedding was perfect and everything we hoped for all thanks to Merrimon-Wynne and all our vendors! We are so thankful for Abby and everyone at Merrimon-Wynne who helped with our wedding! Book Merrimon-Wynne as your venue; you won't be disappointed!!

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.
We had our ceremony on the lawn and the reception in the carriage house and both were perfect. Sasha was our on-site coordinator and her team did a tremendous job ensuring we had everything we needed all day long. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a charming and historic venue!

When COVID hit and we ended up having to postpone our wedding not once but TWICE, I thought many times that I had to be one of the unluckiest brides. By the time I finally had my wedding day, though, I felt nothing but fortunate...if our original date hadn't been canceled and we hadn't needed to find a new venue, we never would have ended up with Merrimon-Wynne, and I feel so lucky that we did. MW House is gorgeous and there were so many wedding guests that told me it was the most beautiful wedding venue they'd ever been to. I worked closely with Sasha, who helped make sure everything was in order in the months and weeks leading up to the big day, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. So down to earth and helpful and accommodating. I can't say enough good things about her. Our day really was everything I hoped it to be and exceeded expectations and I know that if not for MW, I likely would not have felt that way. Book them!

This is the most beautiful, whimsical and elegant venue. It was everything I wanted and more. From the white walls, to the crystal chandeliers, to the shabby chic bridal suite, MWH is a one-stop-shop with each space more beautiful than the next. Kaila was so warm and welcoming from the second I stepped on the property. I do have to give a HUGE shout-out to Lucy, who was my venue contact. She went above and beyond for me and my wedding. I probably asked her to send me 50 different bar package proposals and she always responded right away with the most cheerful disposition. She even handwrote the last few sentences of my vows because her printer wouldn't print it all on the card she made for me for the ceremony. She is literally the best!!! My family and bridal party LOVED her and we made her an honorary bridesmaid! Lol. In all seriousness, there isn't any other place in the world that I would've wanted to say, "I Do" in. Thank you Lucy and MWH for the everlasting memories! We miss you Lucy!!!!

The Merrimon-Wynne is a dream venue - even in the midst of a pandemic. We locked in our date just a few days after our engagement in December 2019. When it was clear we needed to push our wedding date from June to a later date, Kaila (and our amazing planner, Amanda Blair by Design) was on top of it. She presented us with our options, and we ultimately locked in August 7th. At the time, we were hopeful that our original plan of having a ceremony and reception would still be able to take place. In the weeks leading up to August 7th, we were at the mercy of the Governor's mandates, and ended up keeping the date for our ceremony (the best part!!) and pushing our reception to June 6, 2021. The Merrimon-Wynne was extremely communicative and gracious as our plans shifted again. I think the most important thing to convey about our experience with the Merrimon-Wynne though was that our wedding day could not have gone any smoother or been any more perfect. In the midst of a pandemic, Haleigh and the team gave us a day that I'd change zero things about. Coupled with the planning of ABBD, the Merrimon-Wynne made me forget about the fears of the world as I prepared for and ultimately said "I do" to my person on August 7th. We are excited to get to return next year to celebrate, but, for now, we are still on cloud nine after our wedding at the Merrimon-Wynne.

The Merrimon-Wynne House presents itself as an elegant venue that is cooperative, compassionate and
supportive in its provision of location and services for wedding parties. It also touts on its website how
they give back to the community to sponsor nonprofit fundraising events. Unfortunately, this is not the
experience I have to share.
I began planning my June 2020 wedding in the Fall of 2019. I selected and contracted with the
Merrimon-Wynne House as the venue for up to 200 guests, despite its above market costs.
At the time the Force Majeure clause in their contract was not concerning. I was extremely confident of
the date chosen and did not foresee any familial reasons why the date would need to be moved or
cancelled.
THEN the COVID 19 pandemic hit and the world as we knew it change completely. The opportunity to
hold a June wedding celebration in an entertainment venue with any more than 25 people in
attendance, inclusive of service personnel was legally forbidden. Additionally, there is no clear path as to
when an event of such size will ever be allowed to occur in NC.
My fiancé and I made the decision to get married on the chosen date and not to have the pandemic
delay our desire to move forward with our lives together. Moving the date forward several months to a
year forward was not an appealing option. We were marrying because of our love for each other, and
the desire to support each other in good times and bad, not solely to have big party.
All the wedding vendors we had been working with were more than happy to help us to adjust our
orders and planned spend to meet the new wedding plans that had to legally be downsized to a church
garden wedding and a backyard reception. ALL expect Merrimon – Wynne House who remained
righteous about their Force Majeure contract clause and were unwilling to refund any of the LARGE
payment made to use the facilities that would never be utilized. Their only recourse was to re-schedule
the event to a future date, another risky decision. By the way, the other vendors also had change and
cancellation clauses that they gratefully adjusted to better fit the new pandemic economy.
Merimon-Wynne’s stance is that they are unable to provide any refunds because of the “hardships they
are facing to due the material challenges and catastrophic changes due to the pandemic”. Welcome to
the club…we are all making major adjustments due to the changing world and lost income. The
compassionate, ethical and moral response from Merrimon - Wynne would have been to negotiate a
sharing of the monetary burden of the prepaid venue services fees. Just like the venue we are all
making accommodations for a lagging economy. The ability to fund a wedding event on the appointed
day and then do something again at a future date is not an economical feasible solution.
So beware, this sheep has fangs like a wolf. They are running a ruthless, shameful business. I would
redline their contract to the fullest and minimize any upfront payments. Transacting with them is risky
business.

We originally chose the Merrimon Wynne as our wedding venue because it is absolutely stunning. I loved how light, airy, and clean the entire venue looks. I was particularly drawn to the "getting ready rooms" for the bride and groom. Little did I know, the Merrimon Wynne is not only beautiful but their staff is amazing as well. Abby was our coordinator and she was very flexible making sure our day was perfect. She worked with us to get us the bar menu we wanted, the decor we wanted, etc. Between Abby and our wedding planner everything was taken care of all day long. We never had to worry about anything. 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!

The Merrimon Wynne House was absolutely incredible. Not only was the space gorgeous, the staff was just lovely. They were always so helpful and quick to respond. Kaila Anderson was particularly wonderful to us. She served as our Merrimon Wynne contact and our day of coordinator and we honestly couldn’t have done the day without her! Her expertise, willingness to help, and kindness made our day perfect all around. Merrimon Wynne and Kaila made our day so special - we can’t thank them enough!

I fell in love with the MW House as soon as we toured it, and I knew I wanted to have our reception there. Not only is the house itself classic and elegant, but working with Abby made the day seamless and easy! I love all of the different spaces on the property, and I'm so glad we were able to use them all. The main house is a perfect setting for cocktail hour, and we had our reception in the carriage house. The bridal suite and groomsmen suite were beautiful and made for some amazing getting ready pictures. The lighting in the bridal suite is unreal, I felt like a model! We had our ceremony at a different location, but this allowed us to use the lawn for our first look and photos, which turned out great. The MW house is so naturally beautiful, we did not have to do a lot of decorating. Also, we got married in December, and used the Christmas decorations they had up, which were so nice! Abby and the rest of the staff were professional and so sweet. She helped us so much both on the wedding day and the months leading up to it. Our wedding day was perfect, and I can't imagine a better reception venue than the MW house!!

Getting married is supposed to be this magical fairytale of a time for everyone, what they don’t tell you is how hard and how much work it is to make a vision come to life. There were two decisions that didn’t take any thought – first was this venue.
Fast forward to signing the dotted line. The MW House is like THE wedding venue in Raleigh, so they’re booked crazy far in advance, but they were flexible with me in that they give you a bit of time to “hold” a date before you cough over the funds. That’s huge in making sure any other “must have” vendors or guests/friends/family can make that date work. Because of this, I got a date I was super happy with and just has a nice ring to it. 11.23.19. The best day ever.
Fast forward again to planning time, I had a few requests that the MW was able to accommodate, ie earlier start times, vendors not on their recommended list, alcohol selections, you name it. I wouldn’t say I was a bridezilla, but I definitely had high expectations and wanted everything to go the way that I envisioned it. For all the requests, there were reasonable accommodations made to the best of their ability that I was incredibly happy with.
Now here is where MW differs from everyone else (at least I’m guessing they do). Timeline as follows,
Day before the wedding: my bar check bounced because I am an idiot, my MW contact, Abby, literally drove TO MY HOUSE, to come get a new check from me so that I didn’t have to squeeze that in the day before.
Day of wedding: I ALWAYS had a drink in my hand (that they asked me ahead of time to ensure it was the right one), food was brought out for my fiancé and I so we didn’t have to stand in lines and could eat and start greeting guests asap and someone always had an eye out for us to offer any help needed.
Post wedding (and arguably the biggest and most important thing that I think puts the MW House, and specifically Abby, apart from everyone else): My mother had gifted me a pair of diamond earrings that she had owned for 15 years. I had already bought earrings to coordinate with my dress, but these were my mother’s diamonds so I couldn’t decide on if they were what I should wear that day, so to be safe I brought both. Like a complete idiot, after deciding to wear the original earrings, I didn’t put the diamonds back in my bag, I just left them out. I realized I didn’t have them late that night, came back to the MW the next day and dug through trash, texted every vendor and was truly devastated. Here I was, supposed to be in wedding bliss and it had literally turned my weekend into a nightmare. Abby went back AND DUG THROUGH THE DUMPSTER, and found them. Please tell me a coordinator who cares so much – they are few and far between, I’d guess.
I could tell you all of the beautiful things about the MW House, but you know them – the location, perfect; the upkeep of the home, perfect; everything you look for in the vibe of a wedding, the MW nails – but what really separates them from the pack, is their customer service, attention to detail and overall professionalism.
To the MW House Team – thank you for making this the best day of my life, and for everything you have done for Bobby and myself over the last year and a half of planning. I will never forget this day. Also, Abby deserves a raise 😉

The Merrimon-Wynne House is the most beautiful venue in Raleigh and I couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. I had dreamed of getting married here for years so when we got engaged, we knew exactly where we were having the wedding! This venue is absolutely stunning inside and out. Every time I went here for a walk through or bridal portraits, I fell in love with this house more. Abby was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions without delay! Abby and the Merrimon-Wynne staff made our wedding day dreams come true! Truly a day we will never forget.

The Merrimon Wynne house is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Raleigh. They have amazing staff and vendor teams. Every vendor we worked with said they loved working with Merrimon Wynne and all of our guests loved the venue. The space was perfect with room to get ready etc. The carriage house is beautiful. They are super open to different ideas for the space and have lots to offer.

Getting ready in and having my wedding reception at The Merrimon Wynne House was such a dream!! The house is stunning! Abby made everything so easy and took all the stress of my and my mom's plate. They had champagne waiting when we got there in the morning to get ready - such a nice touch. Everything went off without a hitch and if there was a hitch I had no idea because Abby and her team handled everything so smoothly. All of my vendors worked well together and with the MW team. Couldn't recommend the MW House more!! I wish I could do it all over again!

The Merrimon-Wynne House and team are a DREAM. The house is stunning and provides so many spaces to have a full wedding all in one location while changing up the scenery. We got ready upstairs in the beautiful bridal and groom suites, had a wonderful ceremony on the lawn, hosted a cocktail hour inside the house, and then danced the night away with a reception inside the carriage house and ice cream on the lawn. The ability to flow between spaces was a huge positive for us so that our guests could mingle the whole time without having to change venues. The house is beautiful and simple to begin with so you can really make it your own with decorations. We're so thankful they had big lawn umbrellas as well as person umbrellas so that we were still able to have our ceremony outside despite the sprinkling rain! We got so many compliments about the venue and how people were able to mingle outside during the reception as well. It really made our wedding feel so intimate with 150 people! Kaila was an amazing coordinator. I never had to worry about organizing the vendors or if I was forgetting something. She always had me covered! The Merrimon-Wynne house is perfect and the team is incredibly professional! I highly recommend checking them out when looking for an all-in-one venue!

If the sheer beauty of this venue is not enough, everyone who works there makes planning so very easy. We worked with Abby through our wedding planning and she was so patient with many questions we had along the way and quickly responded to any of our inquiries. She did so much work behind the scenes communicating with the band and other vendors. I was so confident that the wedding day would be fabulous given the incredible support staff and advice given along the way. The house with it's expansive windows and porches, the carriage house and lawn ooze southern charm and I fell in love with the site when I first saw it. You could add very little to the venue and it still would be beautiful. If I could do it all again, I would not change a thing!

My husband and I got married here on June 14th 2019. The Merrimon-Wynne was the most incredible venue for our wedding day. We worked with Kaila Anderson as our venue representative throughout our entire wedding planning process, from the first tour we took at the Merrimon-Wynne all the way to our wedding day. 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! Definitely request to work with Kaila!! The Merrimon Wynne house itself is absolutely stunning. The bridal preparation suite was beautiful and filled with complementary champagne and sodas on arrival. 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!! 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. Overall we had the best day ever and would do it all over again at the Merrimon-Wynne House!!

I had my heart set on the Merrimon-Wynne House shortly after I got engaged in March 2018. My husband and I were lucky enough to snag a June 2019 date when we went for a tour which was a perfect date for both of us and our families. We were just married 2 weeks ago and I cannot put into words how perfect the entire day was. Kaila was my day-of planner and coordinator. She also helped to organize everything several weeks ahead of time (including things I hadn't even thought of!). I cannot thank Kaila and the entire Merrimon-Wynne team enough for making our day so special and so smooth and stress-free. Not only that, but they made us feel so special throughout the entire day. The house itself is stunning in every room and truly feels like you are in a fairytale all day while getting ready and throughout the night. I also received (and still am receiving) compliments not only on how beautiful the venue was, but how courteous and helpful the staff was throughout our day there. The Merrimon-Wynne house and staff are truly a wonderful venue and group to work with for such a special day.
