Perfect venue for a small wedding! We LOVED the intimate setting and even though it rained, having dinner inside the chapel was beautiful. The team is so responsive, detail-oriente...
d and organized, with thoughtfulness toward personal touches. Don't hesitate to book with them!
We had the absolute best wedding day thanks to all the lovely people at The Parlour and their beyond gorgeous venue!!! Everything about the Parlour was perfect-- it was the most be...
autiful backdrop to our wedding day, from the pew house for the ceremony, to the garden and courtyard for the reception, to the adorable white chapel. They take such good care of the property, they had flowers that were blooming, so much greenery around, and even though it was peak pollen season, they had clearly done the pain-staking job of removing pollen from around the grass and gravel to make the venue even more beautiful.
One of the most important things we were looking for when booking a venue was somewhere that was naturally beautiful, and the Parlour obviously knocks it out of the park in this category (see below photos for the proof!!) Even aside from this, all of the women who work there (shoutout to Kristen and Kit!!) were so wonderful to work with. We appreciate all of their kindness and hard work throughout this process- it really allowed us to relax and soak in the whole wedding day.
We cannot recommend enough going to tour the Parlour for your wedding-- every single detail is perfectly curated and the space is the ultimate intimate gathering spot to celebrate this giant milestone with those you love.
We stumbled onto The Parlour at Manns Chapel with a Google search while dreaming about our wedding shortly after our engagement. On a whim we saw they had availability for a tour a...
few days later so we thought "why not?" Whether it was fate or serendipity we immediately knew The Parlour at Manns Chapel was where we were going to be married. Pulling onto the property, then gushing as we entered the chapel, and finally awing as we walked around the grounds -- it was PERFECT. Add in the best, hardest working team and cultivation of experienced vendors and partners, we knew our dreams could come true. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for our wedding and we truly credit the team with The Parlour and the Gathering Co. for helping us see our vision through. They think of every detail busy couples could easily miss or be overwhelmed by throughout the planning process and flawlessly carry out those details. We knew our wedding day would be memorable and special in its own right, but choosing The Parlour absolutely cemented that. Thank you so much for the BEST day ever!
A beautiful intimate venue right outside of Chapel Hill! Cannot recommend this space or the event team more. So grateful this was where my husband and I tied the knot!
From start to finish our experience with the Parlour staff was exceptional. We were won over immediately with the unique grounds that really fit us as a couple- with it's rustic an...
d vintage details and intimate draw. The Parlour's amazing service and staff were just the cherry on top to our entire experience. Kristen and Kit were so amazing when it came to walk throughs and planning of the space for our big day, and were always SO thorough in their communication with us every step of the way from bridal portrait booking, rehearsal night booking and the big day. They even have a stock of rental pieces for use that really elevated our aesthetic for our whole day and allowed us some extra fun features that we otherwise would not have had access to. The easiest part of our wedding planning was working with this amazing group of women, and we honestly could not have pictured our wedding being held in any other space because every inch from the flooring to the lighting to the furniture to the landscaping is absolutely gorgeous. It will forever be so sacred and precious to us, and we will cherish looking back at all of our beautiful photos from the day for years to come. We are so so happy with our decision to book the Parlour and HIGHLY recommend it for any other couples who are wanting to have an intimate and intentional celebration with their loved ones. Oh- and our guests raved about it as well! We know we will be talking about this for years to come and are so grateful for our experience from start to finish!
The venue is beautiful and the staff were incredibly helpful!
The Parlour at Manns Chapel was everything we hoped for in a wedding venue and then some. The team was so helpful and the space so beautiful, it made the whole wedding planning pro...
cess as easy as it can be. We enjoyed our indoor ceremony and an intimate dinner outdoors with family and friends - it was a dream. Do yourself a favor and at the very least, come tour the space. It is a must-see venue. We live in Charlotte and decided on this space because of how thoughtful and sweet the venue was, and we would book it all over again! Thanks to The Parlour team for an incredible start to our forever ❤
We absolutely loved the Parlour as our wedding venue! We had our ceremony in the chapel, which created a beautiful and intimate atmosphere that felt both fresh and traditional. Our...
cocktail hour was hosted in the garden area and our reception was outdoors on patio underneath a rented tent. Each of the different spaces were beautiful and the facilities were all clean and tastefully styled. It is very visible that the Parlour team pays attention to all of the small details throughout the venue spaces and the team was very responsive and communicative throughout the planning process. The Parlour was a massive part of what made our wedding day so wonderful! It brought together all of our other vendors together into the perfect wedding day, and many of our guests commented to us how much they loved the venue. We were very happy with our experience with the Parlour and would recommend the venue very highly!
When my fiance and I toured The Parlour, we just instantly knew it was the one. It was the only venue we toured and we booked it the same day and never looked back, which is saying...
something because we weren’t even engaged yet. It is such a beautiful building and it has such beautiful grounds, so much so that we were actually able to save money by not having to purchase any decorations besides flowers. It is also helpful that they have a bunch of adorable rentals included . As someone who cares a lot about attention to detail, they really have thought of everything. So many of our wedding guests remarked at The Parlour’s beauty and uniqueness, and even though it poured rain, nobody seemed to care. The folks that work there couldn’t be nicer, especially the owner Yvette. They were all very helpful when it came to wedding planning, including recommending great vendors and answering whatever questions arose. The Parlour and its staff will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
The venue is absolutely beautiful and is the quintessential definition of a romantic, vintage, intimate wedding. It was a dream come true in every way!
The team at the Parlour are...
also amazing, they are a talented team of creatives who provide great support, vision, and access during the whole preparations up until the very wedding day. We had the ceremony and our reception at the venue, utilizing every breathtaking area. All of our friends and family, and even vendors who came for the wedding day, raved about the venue! You won't be disappointed!
We had our wedding and reception at The Parlour. It was INCREDIBLE. The space is so special and sweet- a historic chapel re-purposed into a stylish and intimate event space. The...
re are several options for set up, and great indoor/ outdoor space- our guests loved lounging in the courtyard, or dancing in the chapel. The venue is very clearly loved and meticulously maintained by its owners, Aimee and Yvette. They are a great creative team-they designed our invitations and we received so many compliments on them! Generally, they are so easy and nice to work with- communicative, responsive, and flexible! Not only are they great, but Kast Events (wedding planner) has an office there. Talk about an incredible team! Cheryl- Anne Kast is an EXCELLENT planner and makes wedding planning easy! These ladies put together exactly what my now-husband and I were looking for and guided us through every detail. The Parlour really has it all- a warm, rustic, and romantic venue, an expert creative team, and value, too! I would HIGHLY recommend The Parlour! I wish we could do it all over again :)
We rented out The Parlour for a Friday Evening Welcome Supper for our daughter’s Fearrington Wedding. We feel very fortunate to have found such a charming and affordable venue so ...
close to the Fearrington venue, our home, and guest hotels. I had hired a caterer to provide Southern Barbeque for the event. Aimee Flynn and Yvette Navarro, Parlour co-owners, were delightful to work with. They assisted me in suggesting attractive table arrangements using their lovely collection of antique farm tables, and also took care of decorating the tables with runners and flowers. They helped me to find a great bartender and cleanup help for the evening. They were readily available to meet with the caterer and me whenever necessary and answered my emails promptly and helpfully. They even allowed me early access to the venue to set up. The bathrooms and kitchen area were spotless and adequate. Having the delightful lit patio available on a lovely autumn evening was the perfect extra touch. I could not have been more pleased with the warm family and friends event that ensued.
