Amazing!

This is the most beautiful place. Everything you need for the whole day, ceremony, and reception is steps away and it makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. The barn is amazing! Monica is the coordinator there and you cannot get any better than her and how much she cares. She made the day absolutely perfect and issue free. She is so fun to work with. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

Beautiful Property Creates our Perfect Day

From the first minute we showed up to the wedding venue the staff were on it! The Property looked amazing. There were so many places for us to take photos as we roamed the property. It looked like it was going to rain so our Wedding Day of Coordinator was ready to move us to the covered pavilion. Lucky for us it was clear and we had the most amazing day. I have been to a lot of wedding venues in the Raleigh area and I must say that this is the Best Wedding Venue near Raleigh. Highly Recommend

We've had a chance to work with several venues and by far Shady Wagon has the total package. Their staff is very professional and experienced. Their venue is clean, well kept and has mature vegetation. The property is versatile and can offer a bride several different options when planning her special day. One of our favorite features is that this venue has the best of both worlds - a place for inside and outdoor entertaining. If I was looking to get married in the Raleigh area, they would be my top choice!
