About The Merrimon-Wynne House

Experience the charm and elegance of The Merrimon-Wynne House, downtown Raleigh’s luxury wedding and special events venue. The Merrimon-Wynne House was built in 1876 and has been carefully restored to its original grandeur. The inspiration behind Merrimon Wynne's transformation into a wedding venue was the idea that the home's rich history and beauty would serve as the perfect backdrop for an inviting yet grand celebration. In addition to the historic picturesque main building, The Merrimon-Wynne House has a beautiful Carriage House built in 2016 and expansive grounds that has options for accommodating over 200 guests. Our property offers neutral finishings, making it an ideal location for hosting everything from traditional and classic affairs to modern and contemporary events. We invite you to be our guest and to become a part of the legacy of The Merrimon-Wynne House
