They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and make sure every detail was perfectly executed. Their support and calm presence made a huge difference, especially when I was nervous on the big day.

Sugarneck 

5.0

Sanford, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 125 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $7,200

Sugarneck is rumored to have gotten its name by the bootleggers traveling along the Cape Fear River as a code word for the place where they would pick up their moonshine. Sugarneck reaches back long before smartphones and social media, back to a time when the only way to send a message was by writing a letter and sending it in the mail. One of the earliest U.S. Post Offices in North Carolina still stands strong today. It was a community where people gathered, shared news and good times. Built in 1874, the renovated original Cabin structure serves as a unique visual reminder of those simpler times. The Cabin and the Post Office are on the National Register of Historic Places. The vast scenic views of the North Carolina countryside along with the grandness of our 150 year old Oak trees do not go unnoticed, and at night, the stars light up the sky. Today, there is an unexpected immersive experience that brings history, nature and modern elegance together in total privacy.

Why you'll love this venue

  • All-inclusive venue packages
  • Bridal suite on site
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • On-site parking not available
We had our wedding at Sugarneck in May. The venue alone is stunning, incredibly well taken care of and immaculately clean. Add to that the dedication of Alicia and her team to plan and execute the most magical, flawless day - I wish I could give 10 stars! We chose Sugarneck because of its location and extremely reasonably priced packages. It truly took the stress out of the day as Alicia was always on top of any questions/concerns I had and brought my ideas to life in all areas. Despite a downpour after the ceremony, the day was flawless and the team worked so hard, always while providing top notch service to all our guests. The only thing I wish I had known ahead of time was the difficultly in guests getting Ubers after the event, while there was a shuttle bus that showed up that transported people, had I known, I would have either paid for it or given people a heads up as it was a little pricey. We spent the whole weekend there including hosting the rehearsal dinner which in itself was a fabulous time. We really felt like part of the family there and not just ‘renting the property’. We would not have asked for a more perfect venue and team to help us with our special day.

We are so excited to meet you! We're Raleigh Weddings, a wedding planning and coordination team based right in the heart of North Carolina (but celebrating love everywhere)! Since 2022, we have provided wedding planning and coordination services for all types of different days, couples, and love stories. We approach every element of your wedding day thinking about the intention and story behind it - if it's not reflective of you or your love, then why the heck do it? More than just another vendor, we are your friends, your advocates, your shoulders to lean on. We can't wait to make your "best day ever" exactly that (and more).

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring a wedding planner is one of the first decisions we made during the wedding planning process. We needed a planner that knows how to stand on business and deal with logistics for a ginormous crowd (300), but also be someone that can vibe with us because they'll be dealing with all our shenanigans during the planning process on the day of the wedding. We went through a handful of wedding planner consultations before we met with Carina and after meeting her - it was definitely wedding-planner-love at first sight! And it was the best decision we made! During the year long planning process, Carina was able to lay out the whole process so we never felt rushed. She also designed our whole wedding beautifully, because neither I nor my now husband have a single artistic bone in our body. Aside from her impeccable planning skills, she is just a delightful person to be around who sincerely just loves what she does and bringing her couples vision to life (while staying reasonably under budget). She took what is usually a stressful process and made it as fun as you can make wedding planning. My now husband and I didn't think there was any way we could have our 300 Vietnamese wedding without any major bumps (just due to the sheer number of people), but thanks to Carina and her wedding magic, we had the most beautiful perfect day! We couldn't have had our perfect day without her!

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé (now husband) found Casie for us during the wedding planning process, and I immediately fell in love with her work! Her darker style was exactly what I was looking for and her wedding engagement package is extremely well priced. Working with her felt like meeting up with an old friend. I was very worried about how I would feel about posing and if I would look awkward and she did such an amazing job directing me in a way that felt natural. I have not received a picture from her that I do not like. Casie also made the planning process so easy. She even met with me over facetime to address some anxiety I was having regarding the timeline. I ended up adding 2 hours to the photography package (again, very reasonably priced). Overall, I genuinely have nothing bad to say about Casie and her work. She is a joy to work with, her work is incredible, and she is such a fun person to be around!

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything. The soft glances, the gentle laughter, the way your hands find each other without thinking. Those are the moments that tell your story honestly. With a refined, minimal approach, I focus on creating imagery that feels effortless and timeless. My goal isn’t just to document how your day looked, but to preserve how it felt. The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

She is incredibly friendly, and she has a unique ability to make professional photos feel easy, natural, and fun. When my husband and I began searching for a wedding photographer, we knew we needed someone we felt completely comfortable with on such an important day, and Rebecca was the perfect choice. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We also feel so lucky to have worked with her amazing 'day of' team—Luisa, Chris, and Maggie. They were all not only professional but also incredibly warm and relaxed, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Sanford, NC

In Raleigh, Just like in Durham, Chapel Hill, and throughout North Carolina, once the guests arrive …the wedding DJ is the most consquential wedding vendor that you'll hire. The average wedding puts 75%-80% of their event in their DJ's hands. That's why, when it’s time to celebrate and have fun, you can relax and enjoy your event with Stylus! Entertainment is the single most important part of how your wedding will be remembered. If your wedding DJ isn’t getting everyone of all ages involved, from your friends to your parents and grandparents, then they’re probably not playing the right mix for you.

Spencer (Samson) was the absolute BEST!! He really kept our reception moving and people out on the dance floor. He even got out there himself to keep the energy high. Our Photo Booth attendant was great as well. He made sure people were having fun and we got some really great pictures. From the moment we met Spencer almost an entire year before our wedding we never hesitated he was the right choice. Stylus was perfect and so accommodating when we did things like move our last dance down to the dock (which then ended up having to be on the back patio) and setting up quickly for our sparkler exit and had the perfect songs playing along the way. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as amazing without this team!

I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all.

We are so grateful we chose Myesha as our Month-Of Coordinator! From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy and flexible to work with. As someone who planned most of the wedding myself, I brought Myesha in for the final month to make sure I had everything in place and she truly delivered. She carefully double-checked my timeline, made sure all the details were covered, and helped ensure nothing was overlooked. She even went onsite ahead of time to meet with my venue coordinator. Although they had never worked together before, they immediately got along and collaborated seamlessly on the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Myesha kept everything running smoothly. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be and that we stayed on schedule without making anything feel rushed. Her calm, professional demeanor and positive spirit made such a difference, especially during moments that could have felt stressful.

Kaitlin Funkhouser Art was the best for our wedding! From the moment we first reached out, Kaitlin was attentive, patient, and accommodating, making the entire process seamless. She took a video of us walking down the aisle then took screenshots of our dip kiss at the end of the aisle. She found us after the ceremony to make sure we were happy with the photo before she started painting us! Her talent is truly remarkable - the painting she created of us on our wedding day is a stunning, and so detailed!! It literally looks just like us. Our guests loved watching Kaitlin paint throughout the reception and even months after the wedding, our friends and family still talk about it!! We couldn't be happier with the experience and the incredible final product. Kaitlin is amazing, and we highly recommend her services to any couple looking to capture their special day in a truly unique and meaningful way.

My family is Guyanese and Indian, and with his music selection, everyone kept dancing through the night! The lighting he did was a nice compliment to the venue. My family loved him and the vibes he brought were super fun!

Our wedding at The Upchurch was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived that morning to get ready, the day felt calm, joyful, and so thoughtfully planned. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The historic home is full of charm and natural light, the Magnolia Lawn is breathtaking, and the Conservatory is bright, romantic, and timeless. Every part of the day flowed so naturally from the ceremony to cocktail hour and into the reception. It genuinely felt like a fairytale from beginning to end. Booking The Upchurch’s in-house wedding planning service was one of the best decisions I made. Melanie was incredible throughout the entire planning process. She was organized, reassuring, and truly cared about bringing our vision to life. On the wedding day, I worked closely with Heidi, Tara, and Melanie, and they were absolutely amazing. They handled every detail seamlessly, coordinated everything behind the scenes, and made sure the day ran perfectly. Because of them, I never once felt stressed and was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful The Upchurch is and how perfect the entire day felt. The combination of a breathtaking venue and a team that genuinely cares about their couples is something truly special. Choosing The Upchurch was one of the best decisions we made, and we will always be grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day unforgettable.
