Merrimon-Wynne House

The Merrimon-Wynne House sits on North Blount Street in downtown Raleigh and hosts weddings, corporate gatherings and other events. The appeal is the house itself, and couples who want to marry in the middle of the city keep booking it.

It runs its own planning operation, so the same team that shows you around the house can manage the event from start to finish. That takes much of the arranging off a couple’s hands, and the reviews from people who have been married there are enthusiastic about both the setting and the staff.

What to know

• In-house event management is offered alongside a day-of venue coordinator.
• Couples say the house works well rain or shine.
• Many items normally hired from a rental company are included.
