WEDDING VENUE AND EVENT SPACES GALLERY
THE HOUSE
Built in the 1900s, Highgrove Estate exudes a timeless elegance and classic aesthetic. Just 20 minutes from Raleigh, our serene property nestled on 7 acres of rolling lush land will make you feel as if you’ve escaped into a secret, romantic destination. Featuring a parlor room, a beautiful bridal suite, and stunning rooms filled with natural light, the Estate is sure to leave you breathless — especially years from now when reminiscing on your ageless wedding photos. From the moment you step through our door, we’ll help you create memories that last a lifetime.
THE PERGOLA
When the doors open and you take your first steps toward your future standing at the end of the aisle, everything else seems to fade away. As you stand beneath the sparkling chandelier, glistening in the sunlight, promise your vows of a lifetime of love beneath our grand 18-foot chestnut-stained pergola. Overlooking Lake Laurel, lush foliage creates the perfect atmosphere to immerse yourself in special moments as husband + wife, while reminiscing and celebrating in the love you share. Our ceremony area is the perfect balance of nature and elegance, and the warmth of the wood transitions seamlessly to every season.
