Rose Hill Estate

the day ran smoothly and flawlessly. 10/10 recommend this venue!

ric farm in Nashville, NC, just a short 45-minute drive from Raleigh, NC, you will be overtaken by the natural beauty of the farm and the professional landscaping on the property. The Manor House was beautifully decorated to reflect the property's Southern charm and historic features of our state. We were married on the front steps of the Manor House, which worked out wonderfully! The front lawn was almost completely shaded by the late afternoon, which was an extra bonus. There are other gorgeous ceremony spots on the property, which made it hard to choose! You will not be disappointed if you choose Rose Hill Estate as your wedding spot!!! In regards to employees and management, you are in great hands with Rose Hill's general manager, Jackie Turner. Not only is she one of the sweetest humans, but she is attentive and organized, and she worked harmoniously with my other vendors. She and her team will make sure the grounds are maintained and all things are in order on your big day. If you need any assistance (even if it is outside of her realm), she will help you or guide you in the right direction! Thank you Rose Hill for being a huge part of making our wedding dreams come true!

request, and kept this bride smiling all day. I can’t imagine a better experience. Thank you!

ble with our wedding date since my husband is in the military, and they rolled with the changes and were very supportive through the whole thing. The space is perfect for a small or large wedding and it was even better for space during COVID. We ended up having our wedding outside in mid-January but it was still amazing!!! I had countless compliments from guests about how it was one of the most beautiful wedding venues they had ever seen. We spent the night in the house which was very convenient and awesome to walk around the spaces where all the magic had just happened. I was worried about the distance from downtown Raleigh but we were able to get a bus for a very reasonable price, definitely worth the price differential between similar venues downtown to just add the cost of a bus. It was an incredible venue and I was thoroughly impressed with the required linen rentals/food services. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

use and how elegant and perfect it was (any time of year), but especially with how beautifully it was decorated at Christmas when we were visiting it for our December 7th wedding. With all the other locations on the property such as Nathan Hall for dinner, the upstairs area for getting ready, the gazebo with the swans swimming by, etc. we knew that Rose Hill would not only be able to accommodate our large wedding, but would be able to give us the romantic and southern look and feel that we wanted for our special day. It also made the perfect backdrop for my bridal portraits. :) Everyone that came to our wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to in their life and we know Rose Hill had a huge part in that, so we couldn't be happier!

hose them!! Nicole and Walter were phenomenal to work with, and helped us every step of the way. The food is SPECTACULAR and we received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing it was. The location/setting speaks for itself, so I wasn't so worried about adding a ton of decor because it is just so beautiful. Not only did they do a fantastic job on the wedding day, but they also catered our rehearsal dinner in the Smokehouse, which was perfect for a more casual BBQ set-up with family and friends. We would recommend Rose Hill to anyone who is looking for a venue that will take care of everything for you!!!

Nicole was extremely easy going, flexible and patient with us in working together to make our day exactly how we wanted it. Everyone else is so friendly, and the chef makes amazing food. They will cater to your every need! I will always recommend Rose Hill!

ssional and polite and will treat you and your guests like you are the most important people in the world! The food is delicious as well. My guests are still raving about it! Also, you don’t have to worry about missing out on the food, as they have staff available to you and your wedding party during the cocktail hour, while you are taking pictures! They will also make to go plates for the bride and groom after the reception! The day of, every detail was seen to by Rose Hill so that I had absolutely nothing to worry about, which was so nice! Leading up to the big day Nicole and Walter are available to answer any and all questions. They always had a timely response to all of my questions, they are the absolute best at what they do and Nicole’s personality is so sweet and bubbly that she quickly feels like a best friend to you! Our day was absolutely perfect and I just don’t feel there is another venue who can do what they do! ♥️

the very beginning, Nicole was there to answer any questions and walk along with us every step of the way. She has such a fun, bubbly personality that makes finding your wedding venue a dream come true. They truly have everything under control and down to a science. The venue itself has so many different locations for your rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. There is something for everyone at Rose Hill. The food was AMAZING. Hands down the best food we have ever had at a wedding. We had so many guests tell us how great the food was. Our guests are STILL talking about the food. We are just so glad that we chose Rose Hill as our wedding venue. Rose Hill was the first wedding decision we made and it was the best decision we made. I highly recommend going to visit Rose Hill to see what they have to offer. Make sure you take your checkbook since you probably won't leave there without booking your wedding date!!

a great job of attending to our guests and also the bridal party to make sure we had food and drinks throughout the night! Not only is the staff incredible, but the overall experience is something you can’t get anywhere else! Our guests are always telling us to this day how elegant, wonderful, and beautiful our wedding was!! Have your wedding here and you will not regret it!! Thanks again to Nicole and the staff at Rose Hill!!!

ide the house for cocktail hour and the porch was picture perfect for the ceremony. Highly recommended!

rounds - beautifully maintained - and the buildings. All of the staff were friendly and helpful!

u find a beautiful setting and have delicious food as well. Several guests said they had the best steak ever. I would highly recommend Rose Hill as the place to go for any special occasion. Just fantastic!

wedding day, it rained and we had a small window of no rain. The staff wiped off every chair so that I could have my dream of walking down the manor house front stairs. Amazing food, beautiful scenery, and helping hands all over! Rose Hill is incredible all around and I wouldn't change a thing about this stunning venue!

ed, which helped us plan. Nicole was an absolute dream to work with. She was very helpful through every step of the planning process. She had timely responses and gave us tons of advice. The venue is breathtaking, the food is delicious and the coordination was amazing. I cannot say enough about how wonderful of a day it was thanks to Rose Hill!

, I know they would have done a fabulous job! My friends and family were so impressed by the beautiful grounds, impeccable service, and AMAZING food! My husband and I could not have been more pleased with our dreamy, southern wedding. I cannot say enough nice things about this wonderful venue!

that they will be booked quickly in about a year in advance if you are looking for a Saturday wedding. Nicole was my contact person and she was amazing. I know I probably sent her tons of emails and she was always there to answer each of my questions in detail. Toward the wedding time she even organized a day of timeline with a breakdown of pricing. This was super helpful! When my husband and I visited the location, Walter was also very helpful to us. Our chosen ceremony location was the gazebo and Walter made sure to suggest that we keep an eye on the level of the sun about a year out from our wedding date...this way we could choose a ceremony time where our guests wouldn't have the sun in their faces. This venue also has a rain option so no need to rent a tent (which those can be super expensive). Everything about the place is gorgeous...the landscaping, house, reception location. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the place was and how amazing the food is. The on-site chef was amazing! His hors d'oeuvres were mouth watering and the food was outstanding. In fact, when my husband and I went for our tasting I almost got teary-eyed from how good the crab cakes were! Don't worry about missing out on having the hors d'oeuvres the day of...during the cocktail hour/picture time, Rose Hill had waiters there to give us hors d'oeuvres and drinks (I don't think I've heard of that happening anywhere else). Rose Hill also works closely with the rental company, Party Reflections and this made everything run super smoothly. When we were trying to choose other vendors for our wedding, Nicole gave us a list of preferred vendors. She also had wonderful suggestions for on-site hair and makeup. Thank you Nicole, Walter and the Rose Hill staff for helping with our special day!

e had to move inside because of bad weather. Rose Hill Plantation had it all and was the perfect place. From the very first phone call Nicole Marion worked so hard to make her wedding day a true fairy tale wedding!! Nicole was always accommodating and such a sweetheart to work with making this whole wedding process so easy. The facility is truly amazing and is a one stop venue. We were able to host the Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding, and Reception all in one place. Our guests came as faraway as Norway and said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Although there were many wonderful attendants during the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding there are a few that I would like to recognize. 1) Nicole Marion is so professional and puts everyone at ease with her sweet personality. I cannot thank her enough for all her help! She is AWESOME!! 2) Steve was there from the moment my Director and I got there to decorate before the Rehearsal Dinner until we left at 11:00 p.m. after the Wedding reception. What a true gentleman and asset he is!! 3) Dawn was just amazing! I just loved her personality and she was such a hard worker throughout the Rehearsal Dinner and the Wedding making sure everyone was taken care of!! I just love her and she will forever hold a special place in my heart!! Rose Hill Plantation is truly a gem!!!

The venue was perfect and well manicured all the way to the street. Our guests raved about the food and staff! Over the top great in every detail. NOT ONE COMPLAINT! I would highly recommend this venue for any event and very grateful to the staff for making it a dream come true for my son and his new bride!! Vicki and Frank Thompson

uch rented out the place all weekend we loved it so much. Nicole was so sweet and helpful! I sent her so many emails and she got back to me right away and answered all of my questions. She made me feel so comfortable and like I wasn't bugging her. And the food!!! Oh my, the food was out of this world and I'm not just saying that because it was my wedding. We had everyone come up to us and tell us. We had stations and it was so good. Loved the chef -- he is so talented. We had a BBQ at the smokehouse for the rehearsal and that was just as good. Everything about the property was beautiful! There isn't a bad thing to say about it. My matron of honor and I even stayed in the Manor House the night before the wedding. Everyone that works there was so helpful. My husband, father, and groomsmen went clay shooting the day of the rehearsal and really enjoyed it. I can't speak highly enough about Rose Hill. You will be so happy you had your wedding here. I wish I could have wedding there every year!!

, as babysitters for 4 children of the family (all of which who were in the wedding). I knew, right then, when we pulled up to the Manor House at Rose Hill, that I would plan my wedding one day at this amazing venue. My husband, Seth, and I had our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception at Rose Hill Plantation and all were EQUALLY amazing!!! From the food, the service from staff, and the hospitality, Rose Hill set the standards high. Nicole Marion, the wedding coordinator for Rose Hill, is absolutely phenomenal and I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with! She was always so approachable and flexible in scheduling in-person appointments, as well as phone calls to discuss any questions or concerns we had. And trust me, we had Nicole's email and phone number memorized, and she was always there when we needed her! Our wedding was magical and everything and more than we could have ever asked for. Nicole and her staff at Rose Hill put this bride and groom (and our entire bridal party and family) at ease with NO stress whatsoever. We could go on and on! Thank you so much to everyone at Rose Hill. You have outdone yourselves and provided us with the best day of our lives with so many lasting memories!

e moved and knew I wouldn't find a venue to match the beauty or the value so we were eager to book it right away! Nicole was our coordinator and was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process and was so sweet about my many, many questions for her. We had our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all at Rose Hill, and the morning of the wedding, my husband shot at the Rose Hill sporting clays range. Each aspect was perfect! Many of our guests told us they had honestly never been to a more beautiful wedding, and neither had we. The venue is absolutely breath-taking no matter where you are! We loved our front porch ceremony, the indoor reception in Nathan Hall, and having the luxury of staying in this beautiful manor overnight. Waking up and having coffee on the back porch is a moment my husband and I will never forget. I could go on and on about how wonderful Rose Hill was for us, but I'll stop here. There truly isn't a single thing I would change! My advice to brides looking for the perfect venue is to stop looking and BOOK ROSE HILL NOW, you will not be disappointed!

them both a couple weeks before the wedding and at the reception and they were met promptly and without any hassle.Additionally, they recommended a vendor to provide shuttle transportation and he worked out great. No wedding at a beautiful venue like this one is "cheap" however I can say every dime was well spent and we could not have asked for a better, hassle free day. Nicole, thank you !!

wedding said it all! Best food ever, especially the filet! Nicole accomodated all of our requests and was always available for questions. I would recommend this venue to everyone! Even the rehearsal dinner was top notch!

nue. It seemed to be everything we were looking for and more! When we actually visited the venue in person for the first time, our original impression was confirmed! The grounds, Manor House, and Nathan Hall (reception hall) are immaculately well-kept and picturesque! There are so many options for ceremony and reception sites and they are all equally beautiful! (We chose to have our ceremony on the front steps of the Manor House and our reception in Nathan Hall.) The staff is so kind and helpful! Walter, the property manager, was very accommodating throughout the whole process and helped make our decisions easy (which is not always the case, since we are a very indecisive couple!) Nicole, the wedding sales manager, couldn’t have been sweeter! She was so patient with my many emails, questions, and requests throughout the months prior to the wedding! The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and so friendly! The minute our ceremony was over, the wait staff was walking around with a plethora of hors d’oeuvres! At other wedding venues I have been to, the guests are usually searching for the hors d’oeuvres, but this was definitely not the case! They also provided the wedding party with food during our pictures! The service was equally as great during the reception! My husband and I were looking forward to dinner (the food we tasted at the tasting was so delicious!). We chose stations for our meal (Baja Grill, American Station, and Slider Station). Food from each station was immediately brought to my husband and I so we would not have to walk through the stations. The food was AMAZING! Every single one of our guests commented on how delicious it was! Also, the sweetest waitress (I wish I remembered her name!) constantly checked up on us throughout the night and replaced our drinks without us even asking! We were so pleased with how our wedding day turned out! Our families and friends were so impressed with everything and even mentioned that our venue looked like it came right out of a magazine! Walter, Nicole, and the Rose Hill staff helped make our wedding a day that we will never forget!!

! We have planned to have our rehearsal dinner at the Smokehouse, ceremony at the Manor, cocktail hour on the porch in front of the water, and the reception at Nathan Hall. We are still in the planning process, and are getting married May 2016. But Walter and Nicole have been nothing but helpful and patient. There is a lot that goes into planning a wedding, but the staff at Rose Hill have truly helped and have taken the stress out of planning. If you are looking for a one of a kind venue that your guest will be talking about, then you should go with Rose Hill! We can't wait for our big day.

the moment I went for the initial tour, I fell in love with this venue. It is absolutely gorgeous and the videos online do not do it justice! Nicole was so helpful in every step of the planning process, and she even provided me with a list of preferred vendors to use! It offered a great starting point for me to reference. They also have a variety of packages to choose from, depending on your budget. And the food... to die for! All of my guests are still talking about how wonderful the food was! The staff and management team go above and beyond to ensure that your guests are taken care of and that you are 100% satisfied. I could not have had a more perfect wedding and it's all thanks to Rose Hill Plantation. If you are looking for a venue with true southern charm and elegance, Rose Hill is your place! Professionalism at it's best!

typical wedding banquet food. In addition to the great staff, the location is amazing. They have everything you could ask for with the lake, gazebo, swans, plantation style house, and an elegant ballroom with plenty of space. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

for a better place or better people to make it so special!! They made everything so easy to plan and organize! I had no problems visiting the venue multiple times to make sure we were ready to go for the big day! Nicole was there every step of the way during the wedding itself to make sure we had everything we needed during setup and throughout the evening. The food was delicious and the weather was perfect! Thank you so much for such a wonderful, unforgettable day!!

. it was perfection. There was absolutely nothing that could have made our daughter's wedding more special than entrusting it to the expertise of Walter, Nicole and their amazing staff! The wedding weekend began with a delicious rehearsal dinner in the Smoke House, ceremony at the gazebo, cocktail hour in the Manor House and spectacular plated dinner reception in Nathan Hall! It was truly a fairy tale wedding in all aspects. We were made to feel that our wedding was as special to them as it was to us! I cannot express enough thanks to the staff of Rose Hill for making our daughter's wedding unbelievable! Thanks and more thanks! Vicky Helms Mother of the Bride

o work with! ....by the way these were also my caterers Rose Hill also catered so they technically should be counted twice! Food was AWESOME!

on hall are all immaculately well-kept, and the employees are some of the most accommodating, organized, and friendly people we have ever worked with! Walter, the Property Manager, not only helped us work within our budget, he helped us create a wedding that was completely unique to us. He personally picked up the special NC craft beers we requested for our open bar, worked with us in the design and set-up of the reception hall, and was so patient through our endless questions and requests in the last couple of weeks before the big day. Nicole, another employee at Rose Hill, was also a huge help in finalizing all of the details and in helping us coordinate our rehearsal and wedding day. In fact, the entire staff at Rose Hill is incredible! My husband and I were worried that we would not have time to eat during the reception, but that was not an issue at all, since 2 waiters/waitresses immediately brought plates and plates of food to our sweetheart table the moment we sat down! And don't even get me started on the food! It was all absolutely delicious! We went with the 3 dinner stations + 5 passed hors d'oeuvre option and had MANY guests tell us how fantastic the food was! There were options for every guest, including vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, etc. When we went up to our wedding suite in the manor house after the wedding was over, we were pleasantly surprised to find to-go boxes full of all of the delicious food. Honestly, there is not one complaint we have about this venue. Despite its somewhat inconvenient location in Nashville, NC (as we live in Raleigh), we would recommend this venue to any couples looking to get married locally or looking for a destination wedding location. The cost was perfect for our budget and much more affordable than many of the other "Southern" venues in the Triangle area, and the ceremony site and reception hall are both stunningly gorgeous. Thanks to Walter, Nicole, and the Rose Hill crew for creating such a memorable night for us!!

th and make the process stress-free! We had our ceremony and reception there which was perfect. No need for hiring transportation, you can get ready there and stay the night too The food was amazing too!

oordinated with us beforehand but it did not spoil the atmosphere. Would highly recommend the place!

roughout the entire day, I had guests to come tell me that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, due to the venue and the catering. Rose Hill certainly does not disappoint when it comes to their food as well, everything was amazing for our buffet. Rose Hill staff made sure all of the guests were happy and having a great time as well, which was very important to me. I would not recommend getting married anywhere else, but Rose Hill because they have everything you may need or want in a wedding. Two thumbs up to Rose Hill!!!

And the first thing I did after getting engaged was book Rose Hill. I didn't even need to look at other venues. It is absolutely breathtaking and will wow your guests. Most people have never visited Rose Hill and many will never have another reason to do so. Being born and raised in Charlotte, NC I'm not stranger to amazing wedding venues - but Rose Hill outshines them all. We got married on the front steps of the plantation house in front of 200 guests but there are other options if you're not willing to chance rain. Luckily for me, it was the most gorgeous April day in 2013. Though I'm pretty sure if Walter had the ability he would have given me the weather forecast of my choice. Immediately following the ceremony, there was a cocktail hour in the house. Unfortunately we were unable to go to the cocktail because we had pictures that needed to be taken. But I heard it was the best part of the reception - so sad I missed it! If there was anything "bad" I could say, it would be that I didn't get to taste the passed hors d'oeuvres. The reception took place in Nathan Hall and was transformed into a fairy tale-like room. We had a live band (Hip Pocket Band) that kept the guests dancing late into the night. Instead of a seated dinner, we had stations but the food wasn't the buffet-quality you may assume. It was delicious!!!!! We're lucky enough to live in Nashville, NC so we've dined at Rose Hill on many occasions and we've never been disappointed. To top if off, we had pecan pie and banana pudding to accompany our cake. At the end of the night, we were able to simply walk to our room in the main house (no need for a hotel!) where there was champagne and food for us to sip and eat. It was the perfect opportunity to unwind after a whirlwind of a day. At any point during the day if I needed Walter (or any of his staff) they literally were there. I never had to go looking for someone to ask a question to. During the planning process, I was never told "no" - they found a way to make my wishes a reality. Additionally, Walter never got frustrated with the crazy questions that the bride (me) and her mommma asked. I can't recommend Rose Hill enough as a place for a wedding (or any other event). Service unlike any other. And a view that will make you think you're in paradise.

the forefront of our minds that this was the place for our wedding. We still went and visited other locations from the Triangle out towards the Outer Banks. No other place compared, in beauty and elegance or even value! The landscape is gorgeous. The entrance is enchanting with its long drive covered by towering trees. We have beautiful pictures thanks to the layout and design of the place. More than pleased with the Rose Hill Plantation and will be recommending it to friends from now on! Once you visit, you will not want to visit other places. We got married at the gazebo on the lake. The swans came up and made for very beautiful pictures as our photographer stated that one spread its wings almost in the shape of a heart as we did our prayer.

beautiful!! Walter was very helpful with working with me to accommodate the desires I had for our ceremony and reception! Even the day before when I was worried my guests at the tables outside would be too cold when the sun went down, Walter went out and purchased nice standing heaters! Our wedding day was perfect!! The food was amazing! My guests have been raving about how beautiful it was and how good they ate!!

s very quick to answer them for us. The grounds are breathtaking. When we went for rehearsal on the Friday before the wedding everything was set up in the reception hall and all the chairs were placed at the gazebo, it was nice to know they were ahead of schedule. The day of we arrived at the home and the room was set up with drinks and snacks for us and everything was wonderful. The food was fabulous!!! I give Walter and all the staff at Rose Hill 150%. They made my wedding day the best day of my life by making sure everything I had requested was done and done accurately! The drive from my home in Cary was about and hour, but it is so worth it. The drive way is lined with beautiful trees and old house is beautiful. The cost of my wedding here was the same and another older home in Cary, with more space and more options! So glad we chose Rose Hill.

amazing! I would recommend this place to ANYONE!!!! Can't wait for our 10 year ann. bc we will be having something there again!!!!

l, it was the second cheapest venue of its kind! We were in love. They were wonderful to work with, professional and skilled. Walter first had me scared since his emails are very succinct, but he is actually the nicest person in the world to work with. We had their chuck wagon bbq as our meal and people can't stop talking about it. We also stayed over night and had a blast. I wish I could have a thousand events here. I loved it! (Plus it is the best venue for gorgeous photographs (see AJ Dunlap))

as a great coordinator and was always open to answering our questions. The only thing I feel that they could change is having individuals available to open up the rooms and direct people like the bride and groom as well as the bridal party. It was kind of a pain trying to search around to find staff members to assist us, as well as our vendors with this. Overall, I would not change nothing about my wedding day for this world, even though it rained too!

the venue, she too was as enthusiastic as we were. Over the last year we have worked with Walter planning the rehearsal party, wedding ceremony and reception. Throughout the process, we were so impressed by Walter's professionalism and attention to detail. When we arrived on Friday for the rehearsal we were blown away by the immaculate grounds. It was quite obvious that a lot of work had gone into preparing the venue for our event. Our guests were blown away by the whole event. The atmosphere was elegant but relaxed. The food was delicious and the staff was awesome! Thanks Walter for making the day memorable. I highly recommend Rose Hill as a perfect location to hold a wedding!

osen Rose Hill Farm as our location. From the humbleness of the crew, the country atmosphere of a secluded mansion, to the cake, the photographer suggested by Walter, and TO THE FOOD!!! Paula and I thank Walter, Jean Blair, and the staff of Rose Hill Conference Center.... The cake in the photos with the Calla lilies was ours and Walter made it by hand... That's craftsmanship and attention to detail and AWESOME! We had a spring wedding in May and it was amazing! But I've seen this Conference Center decorated during Christmas and now we wish we could do it all over again in winter. I will back this location 110%....Simply amazing....
