Looking for your wedding venue in the Raleigh area?

At Catering by Design we know you have a lot of decisions to make as you prepare for your big event. We know you appreciate it when you can get lists with the information you need. Our Raleigh Wedding Venues spreadsheet lists most of the Raleigh area wedding venues where we have catered events, and we’ve included the information you’ll need to develop a short list.

A Raleigh Wedding Chapel - St. Mark's

If you know the names of venues you’re interested in, check out the Venue Name tab.

If you know which town you’ll be getting married in and want the venue nearby, look at the Town tab.

If you’re flexible about where to have your reception, and are interested in how many guests a venue can handle, check out this tab, Capacity.

And of course, price is often a big consideration, so you may want to start with the Price tab. We know you’ll appreciate that we’ve calculated the approximate cost based on a 6 hour rental. Six hours is about the amount of time needed for a formal wedding reception, with two hours of total setup and take down included.

This Raleigh Wedding Venues list should be a big help in getting you to a short list to work from.

Your Caterer Should Give you Confidence on Your Special Day

Choose the wedding caterer who gives you the most confidence that they will deliver

• What you asked for
• On budget
• On time, and
• With ease

On your wedding day you need to focus on your wedding party, your family, greeting the guests, saying your vows and remembering everyone’s names. You do not need to worry about whether your vendors will deliver on time. You need that handled.

Choosing a recommended caterer from a friend or family member is a great start.

Feeling very comfortable with your caterer is next. It’s part of what gives you peace of mind. If you don’t feel comfortable talking with the caterer in your first interaction, don’t imagine it will get better, find another caterer. A lot is resting on their ability to work with you.

Are they paying attention to what you want? Do they have suggestions you find helpful? Are they hearing what your budget is?

Are they forthcoming about all the costs? Did you review the contract ahead of time and understand all the clauses? Are they giving you options, so you can make an informed choice?

And for the ultimate peace of mind, work with a Full Service Caterer so you can turn over all the coordinating of vendors to the caterer, and you can feel like a guest at your own party.

Catering by Design is a Full Service Caterer who can handle all the arrangements, simply deliver the food, or anything in between. Tell us your budget and what you’re hoping for and we’ll show you what is possible.
