About The Upchurch Wedding Venue
7213 Roberts Road, Cary, North Carolina 27519
The Upchurch is a historic wedding venue dating back to 1905. Before it served as a space to write the next chapter of your love story, it was a private family residence. In 2014, a local preservation office went to work removing the non-original parts of the house and moving the whole thing slightly down the road. Today, it gives couples a scenic space where they can have their dream wedding, no matter what that looks like.
Details of the Grounds
The Upchurch venue has been curated to give you everything you could possibly need for your wedding day. Your celebration will kick off in the Main House, where you will have one of two dressing suites to use. Brides tend to use the large white dressing room with antique French accents, while the grooms often prefer the modern wooden room with leather furniture and plenty of space for celebratory drinks. Once you are ready, you can head to the ceremony site. People who prefer an indoor space can use The Conservatory, where you can exchange vows in a blank white space accented with rustic wooden beams. If you would rather have an outdoor ceremony, you can head to the Magnolia Lawn, where you can get married in a circular clearing surrounded by towering trees.
For your ceremony, I highly recommend The Patio outside the Main House. Your guests will enjoy the most divine cocktails while strolling around the breathtaking space.
Finally, your reception can be hosted either inside The Conservatory or outside in the Magnolia Lawn. No matter what you choose, get ready to feast before ending the night with lots of dancing! The Upchurch is able to hold up to 250 guests for your wedding day.
Photography Opportunities
As a wedding photographer, you know I am constantly thinking about places you can use for a backdrop! I love how bright and sunny the dressing suites are in The Main House. The lighting is ideal for candid snapshots as you prepare for the day! The wrap-around porch of the Upchurch wedding venue is going perfect for pics with your party. You can also use it for your first look pics. Lastly, The Magnolia Lawn is great for group pictures as well as intimate couple portraits!
