First and Main

First and Main is an event and wedding venue in Old Towne Knightdale, just outside Raleigh, in a historic building the owners restored themselves. It takes weddings, corporate events and private parties.

The owner came to it from ten years of catering and charcuterie work, and that shows in how the events are put together. The thinking is that an event should feel personal and intentional, which is more than a date on a calendar. Couples and companies get a room that already looks finished, with the restoration work done for them.
