Choosing a wedding venue is hard—we know. There’s so much planning that goes into a wedding and you want to ensure you’re getting the most bang for your buck along with all the other accompaniments that come with it, from food and beverages to flowers and photographers. At Melrose Knitting Mill, we pride ourselves in being a destination venue for couples looking to get married in Downtown Raleigh—complete with a seamless, turnkey experience. Talk about wedding goals!
And, so, we thought we’d put together a helpful guide of everything that’s included when you book at Melrose. Of course, if there’s something particular you desire, do not hesitate to contact us!
Venue
Naturally, our elegant wedding venue is the biggest commodity you’ll get when booking with us! Our gorgeous historic building was originally built in 1900 and still features that historic charm, what with brick walls, wood flooring, and high wood-vaulted ceilings. The open space is perfect for whatever set-up you’re hoping to create on the big day.
Bonus: You also get exclusive access to our sister restaurant, Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar, at no extra cost. This includes both its elegant interior and beautiful patio. Even in the winter, the patio remains a cozy, inviting space thanks to tenting and heating solutions, ensuring it’s perfect for year-round use.
Planning
We are proudly managed by Southern Oak Events, which boasts “the boutique principles of attention to detail and customized customer service” when it comes to weddings of all sizes and price points. They have vast experience planning, managing, and designing weddings, and have thrown some very spectacular ones at our venue!
Food & Beverage
Mulino is, naturally, our exclusive caterer, and they offer both plated and buffet options—plus small snacks for cocktail hour. Think cheese crostini, chicken, crab cakes, meatballs, salmon, chicken tacos, salads, even late-night pizzas! We also have a tasty selection of craft cocktails, and you can even customize them with person names as fun signature cocktails named after the bride, groom, or your pet.
