If you’re looking for a statement wedding, Oxbow Estate weddings do not disappoint. With its polished marble interiors, 10-acre grounds and European-style hall, this lavish NC wedding estate will really take your breath away.

The sweeping marble staircases ramp up the sophistication and are just calling out for wedding photos with a historic vibe. Paired with the chandeliers and huge windows, this is a seriously impressive setting!

Your Luxury NC Wedding Venue

With 8,000 feet of space and verdant surroundings, there’s plenty of choice for each element of your day, and a virtually endless selection of romantic and fun photo backdrops.

You could take advantage of the glorious views by saying your vows on the open-air veranda, opt for a refined ceremony in the spectacular Main House, or invite guests to join you in the sailcloth tent for a touch of bohemian elegance. 

The Neuse River winds its way lazily past the grounds, giving the estate its name and providing yet more dreamy vistas for your cocktail hour or wedding photos at Oxbow Estate. Guests can move easily from dining room to dance floor, bar to gardens, served by the welcoming yet discrete staff. 

Oxbow Estate Wedding Packages

When you get married at Oxbow Estate, NC, you’re guaranteed exclusive access, ensuring a serene experience. 

I love taking the “sneak peek” photos in the spacious bridal suite, where you and your party can get dressed and styled — with complimentary mimosas! Despite its luxury touches and European accents, the estate’s color palette is neutral — providing a blank canvas for you to order in personalized floral arrangements, tableware or other unique touches.

You can book local companies to cater on the day, using the well-equipped kitchen — the estate can recommend trusted vendors. Staff will arrange the tables — in multiple sizes and formats — to suit intimate or large wedding parties and make the seating plans as flexible as possible. The venue is known for its meticulous planning and flawless service, so all you need to focus on are your guests — and each other.

The venue and facilities are fully wheelchair accessible. And while it feels secluded, the estate is just a short drive from downtown Raleigh, with plenty of onsite parking. 

Packages start from $6,500 for a weekday rental, to $30,000 for a full weekend buyout, including accommodation — with plenty of options in between.

Top Notch Accommodations

If you’re looking to make a weekend of it, you can book the Oxbow Estate wedding venue in Clayton, NC for a full 48 hours and invite up to 18 guests to join you. Accommodation ranges from luxurious ensuite rooms in the main house, to the private River House overlooking the Neuse, and self-catering apartments with kitchens and fireplaces — perfect for a cozy winter wedding.
