The ceremony was held outside and the only thing I noticed was a fair bit of highway noise from Capital Blvd. After the ceremony, there was a cocktail hour in a different area, which was equally gorgeous. Last was the dinner reception. The reception area was decorated incredibly with tons of floral and lighting accents. Lots of natural light as well. The food was delicious and the staff courteous and professional. I would recommend to anyone planning an event.

Parking was made simple and with great ease. There is a walk from the parking location to the building - something to take into consideration for those who love their HIGH HIGH thin heeled shoes :) It made for a great location for a musical event. To experience the music bouncin off the ceiling and walls - truly magical!

Went to the Candlelight: Tribute to Adele concert. Besides the concert being great, the venue (what…read morethis review is about) is definitely 5 stars or greater. The location is on Old Falls of Neuse Road in an upscale countrisque setting in the Southwest Wake Forrest area. There is a private road that provides access to parking under a covered horse show area or nicely kept grass fields. The ride to parking itself is very aestheticly pleasing. One drawback is that disabled parking is at a different address, so call ahead to get this information if you need to. The facility claims, and I am positive, it is ADA accessible; however, I did not see the elevator which is probably on the opposite side of the barn from the stairs by the bathrooms. The upstairs space is large and open. This is where concerts and weddings are held. Downstairs is a hallway with two staircases on one side of the barn and bathrooms and probably an elevator on the other. The entrance is in the middle facing a lawn that goes to parking and open areas for outside venues with outside fireplaces. Little rooms open to the center hallway exist as small sitting rooms and bar stations on the ground floor. A very incredible venue. Worth considering for a wedding, business event, concert, play, etc. Candlelight regularly hosts concerts here. Check them out at https://candlelightexperience.com/ Candlelight Concerts: Official Tickets. My companion and I had a wonderful experience attending the candlelight concert at the Historic Wakefield Barn.

The space itself was pretty solid. The interior was perfect for what she was looking for, and I certainly felt comfortable there. Big enough for a wedding reception for sure. Decent menu, good desserts and drinks. Lighting and seating were great! Does not have to be a wedding, but for any sort of party that you'd want room, catered, dancing etc, and you happen to be in Raleigh, this place should be on your short list.

The drive wasn't bad and it was very easy to located. Parking was a breeze and there was overflow as well. We were greeted by a staff member upon entered the main building that houses ice cream, drinks, local artisan work for purchase, and hemp products. Everything was neatly labeled, the space was nicely arranged to allow for easy shopping, as well it was very clean and clutter free. We were informed that on Saturdays they had like an adult themed gathering with music, food (provided by a local food truck), and drinks. We decided to come back and check it out. So glad we did! We arrived that Saturday around 8pm. Parking again was easy. The event was put together very well - with the food truck located right beside the building. You were able to purchase your food, get something from the shop, and find a seat outside to enjoy the evening. The music was great. The people were awesome - good convo and they had UNO going for those that wanted to play. We got to meet the owner and his wife. That was a joy as we got to learn more about the farm and their vision. Overall, we are excited to adventure back for other events.

After noticing several religious…read moreitems in their pictures, I emailed to ask if they were open to working with queer couples and got the following in response: "This venue is located at our Christian home. We personally have gay friends but we believe their behavior is a sin. I am a sinner and I believe we should love the sinner and hate the sin. The current law allows gay couples to marry. I think gay couples should respect the beliefs of others just as they want to be respected. " Clearly, they don't want to come right out and say we are not welcome, but they made it clear. Nowhere in my initial email was I disrespectful to them, so I'm not sure whey they felt the need to point out that we needed to respect their beliefs. A simple, "We can not accommodate your request at this time," would have been fine. We were not asking them to officiate our wedding. We were asking them if they would do their jobs as business owners, take our money, host our event, and keep their personal opinions to themselves. How their religious beliefs impact their business I don't really understand. It is really too bad, because as I mentioned, this venue looks absolutely gorgeous. However after the rude and frankly condescending email back, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I suggest those who support marriage equality do not support this highly unprofessional business.
