“I couldn't have asked for better wedding experience. The venue is beyond beautiful, guests couldn't stop complimenting it all. The entire wedding day just felt like a true dream come true. I couldn't have picked a better venue to celebrate our love.”

“We had our wedding here in late September, and it was perfect! The venue was beautiful and had everything we could have needed. Venue staff were incredibly helpful and professional. The house was the perfect setting for cocktail hour and the reception hall was the perfect size for our party of 110. The house also has great getting ready spaces for the bridal party, which helped to make the day smooth from the beginning. The on-site treehouses were great too! We used them the night before and after, which made things so convenient. We would highly recommend The Carolina Manor House as a wedding venue!”

“The Carolina Manor House is truly such a special wedding venue.

From the moment you arrive, the staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful — the kind of team that makes a long wedding day feel calm and supported from start to finish. The grounds are stunning, anchored by a beautifully refurbished manor house that offers the option to host your ceremony right in front of it, creating the most timeless and elegant backdrop.

There’s also a garden area on the property, which is where my couple chose to say their vows, and it was absolutely perfect for an intimate outdoor ceremony. It felt peaceful, romantic, and thoughtfully designed — such a lovely setting to photograph.

Cocktail hour flowed seamlessly with a spacious patio that offered plenty of tables, room for mingling, and a surrounding lawn where guests could comfortably spread out. The reception hall itself is large, open, and well laid out — ideal for a full dance floor and a lively celebration.

This was a full 10-hour wedding day, and honestly, thank goodness for a venue that runs as smoothly as this one did. The day unfolded effortlessly, without a hitch, allowing everyone — especially the couple — to stay fully present and enjoy every moment.

I can’t wait to photograph another wedding at The Carolina Manor House again. It’s a joy to work at a venue that pairs beauty with such a well-run, thoughtful experience.”

“Choosing Carolina Manor House for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. The grounds are perfectly kept, the staff goes over the top to make you feel excited and welcome, and every detail of the house/reception area are utilized and well kept. Also, I highly recommend staying in the tree houses! We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue. There is PLENTY to do in Franklinton and many places for guests to stay that are close by and Ubers accessible.”
