If your type is big, strong and handsome [BUILDINGS!], Full Frame Theater's Boiler Room has YOUR name all over it (him? her?). This incredible space welcomes guests entering Full Frame Theater, as well as sometimes its neighbor, The Power Plant Gallery. It's a VERY unique event venue flanked by mammoth coal-fired boilers that were used in the original building. You can admire the elevator shaft to the right of the front door, or envision the unseen inside (but very visible outside) base of the Lucky Strike smokestack which The Boiler Room "horeshoes" around. Enormous windows, concrete floors and brick walls give this space the perfect impression for any event [can I plan my next birthday party here?!] No space has ever scream contemporary meets historic so clearly! Plus, doors are open 9am-midnight, SEVEN days a week, so there truly is no reason to miss this drool-worthy space. Secret tip: it's air-conditioned and they've got tall-topped tables and chairs inside along the massive windows. This would be the perfect get-away from the office or {indoor} picnic lunch spot.

The Cotton Room has insisted that they "cannot" refund the deposits paid, although they have done nothing to earn the nearly $20,000 that had been paid to them to date. We also requested a meeting with the owners of the venue to discuss the situation and perhaps come up with a solution, however the owners have refused to have a call with us. How can a venue that specializes in the business of love, happiness and weddings have such a cold, cruel and compassionless response to this tragedy that my son's family, his fiancée and her family are dealing with. I would encourage anyone looking to book The Cotton Room to consider over venues first.

Upon making that decision, we only considered Bay 7 and The Pavilion. Bay 7 was the perfect spot for our many out-of-town guests. They were able to stay at a hotel within walking distance and explore the American Tobacco Campus when not at a wedding event. If you have ever been to the Angus Barn, you expect exceptional service at Bay 7 and you will not be disappointed. As vegetarians, we cannot vouch for most of the meals (though all our guests raved), though the vegetarian option we chose was delicious. Wendy, our contact, said that though it is not served at Angus Barn regularly, if we reach out before we head there, they'd even whip up our wedding meal for us! Wendy had everything covered. I had zero stress about the reception thanks to this team. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Wendy and the entire Bay 7 team, for working with us to have our perfect wedding day.

Wow - Nice. This venue occupies an old rail station along the Historic N&W Belt Line Freight Depot…read more- adjacent to the Cotton Room in Durham. If you'd been there before, you could see what a labor of love has been made to get this venue into shape for weddings, celebrations, and all sorts of et cetera. Wrought iron railings with planters define the edge of the platform. The raw brick has been brought back to 'life.' The lighting is suited to whatever mood is desired. The ceiling fans moderate the temperature at all times (except for the hour or so in the late afternoon that the sun bathes the station). Rest rooms are ample. Standing tables and tables for sitting abound. There's space for a band, as well as roving minstrels and musicians. There's a nice bar at the far end... The proprietors also run The Cotton Room (upstairs) which deserves a review of its own. But as a stand - alone venue, Belt Line Station is a beautifully restored space that oozes with romance. Thank goodness someone saw fit to renovate the space instead of tearing it down and building new... you just can't buy this kind of charm!

For someone that has been in the business for over 20 years the lady that runs this place is clueless. Luckily the place is beautiful and my wife is an excellent planner. I would NOT recommend this venue to anyone. - 5 Emails and over 2 months before we received an accurate proposal. - We were told multiple times they were busy and didnt have time to return our emails or voicemails. And this excuse was after we called back each time a minimum of 7 days later. We NEVER received a return call or email from them. We always had to catch them when they actually answered the phone. - Direction from the planner was non existent. - I will say the food was excellent. - At the end of the night they loaded up a cart from both the grooms and bride suites with purses, clothes, all belongings and wheeled it out to the parking lot and unloaded it on my mother-in-law. 0 professionalism, 0 customer service, 0 accountability. Look elsewhere, unless you enjoy being ignored and stressed out.

The event was great. It's always a pleasure to meet up with old yelp friends and meet new yelp friends! During this event I noticed they had so many amazing drinks to pull from. The bartender and staff working were super cool. There was live music as well as vendors from around the triangle. Shout out to the guitarist who was jamming to all of the latest tunes. Parking was a struggle so we ended up at a meter which wasn't that far of a walk. There is a parking garage directly across the street so you may want to check that out if you experience parking struggles. The ambiance and decor was great for the facility.
