The Merrimon-Wynne House
A Historic 1876 Home in Downtown Raleigh
The Merrimon-Wynne House is a restored 1876 home in downtown Raleigh, on the edge of Historic Oakwood and just a few doors from the North Carolina Executive Mansion. The property covers almost an acre, with a white historic main house, beautifully kept grounds and a Carriage House that seats about 200 for dinner. It's a classic choice for couples who want a city wedding with Southern charm.
Why We Love DJing at the Merrimon-Wynne House
We've DJ'd at the Merrimon-Wynne House, and the way the night moves from the lawn to the house to the Carriage House is one of our favorite flows in Raleigh. Here's how we set up:
Ceremony on the lawn: We bring wireless ceremony sound to the grounds in front of the house, so the setting stays the focus.
Cocktail hour in the house: Music carries through the main house while you take photos on the grounds.
Reception in the Carriage House: This is where the party happens. We set up so the dance floor stays packed from the first song to the last.
Lighting: Uplighting adds warmth and color to the space and makes your photos pop.
Planning Tips for the Merrimon-Wynne House
Plan the walk between spaces: Moving from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception is part of the experience. Build in a few minutes for each move.
Hire a planner: The venue requires a wedding coordinator, and a great one keeps the timeline tight.
Use the grounds after dinner: On a nice night, guests love wandering outside between dance sets.
