Magnolia Manor is proud to announce the completion of the Carriage House Complex Expansion.  The design of  the expansion was influenced by a historic carriage house that Sheila fell in love with and has already proven to be a tremendous addition.  The images below show the completed expansion. We can comfortably seat up to 192 guests in the new expansion and still have an additional 2000 sq ft of deck in the old barn under roof for common area use such as buffet tables, DJ or band, dance floor, etc.  This also offers you ease of mind in the event of inclement weather.  All areas are intimately lit and are made additionally comfortable by numerous ceiling fans.  We invite you to visit and imagine your traditional Southern Wedding at Magnolia Manor!
 

For some brides-to-be, its a given: you'll exchange vows in your hometown church and then move on to a reception at the local country club or other ball room.  That's a perfectly fine formula that has been working for generations, but some couples planning their special day want something different, something more - a weekend celebration as dedicated to them as they are to each other and a location as special as the relationship they share.

Nestled in the North Carolina Piedmont amidst unspoiled rolling farm land as far as you can see, Magnolia Manor exudes antebellum natural beauty, serenity and sought-after traditional Southern charm and offers elegant all inclusive turnkey wedding packages.  Just a one hour drive from Raleigh, Fayetteville and Petersburg its a convenient drive for many guests.  On the other hand, its just over the horizon and far enough away from home to give friends and guests a special occasion to anxiously await.

If you would like to exchange vows on the grounds of a historic Southern Plantation under the out-stretched arms of an ancient oak or in an intimate pecan orchard rather than a church, and hold  your reception in a magical Southern barn rather than a traditional hall, you might start by calling Sheila to explore everything that Magnolia Manor has to offer.  You will find that Magnolia Manor offers exclusive use for privacy, focus and flexibility and is ideal for thoughtful gatherings and memorable events.  Five years from now when you look at your wedding photos, you'll be thankful you made the decision to host your special day at Magnolia Manor and you'll be reminded why so many of your guests told you "That was the best wedding ever", truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!  Please feel free to click HERE to see what other brides and grooms have said about their wedding experience at Magnolia Manor.  We look forward to hosting your special day!

Warm regards,

Sheila, Larry and the staff
