Hudson Manor

I just got married at the Hudson Manor and wow the night could not have been any more perfect. From the beginning, Melissa was so helpful in helping my mom and I plan everything from the DJ and flowers to the food selections and table linens. The night of the ceremony we didn’t have to worry about a thing because Melissa was making sure everything ran smoothly. The venue is beautiful with 3 locations to pick from for your ceremony and an elegant and beautiful reception hall. The food was delicious, the staff was helpful, and the service we received from Melissa was phenomenal. The all-​inclusive package is of much better value than a lot of other venues we looked at and was perfect for our 150 guests. You will have no regrets in choosing The Hudson Manor for your wedding venue!

I was really looking forward to experiencing the Hudson Manor because I had heard other people say that they had been to a wedding there and it was beautiful…
However, it was a beautiful place to have a wedding, but the staff was not nice. They weren’t even cordial. Even though, it was a 5:00 wedding — it was hot and when we went inside for the reception — the hundred people invited to the wedding had to get their own water and tea and people were bumping into each other and of course, it didn’t take long for the water and tea to give out and then, it took a long while for the staff to replenish after being told they were out of ice, water, and tea. Then, the people started bumping into each other once again to go back and «serve themselves!» Come on people, when there’s a sit down dinner and for the price of the buffet — you should hire enough staff to wait on the your customers. The same thing with the cake — people had to get up and get their cake and everyone was bumping into each other. It was too small for all this do it yourself business. I, myself was embarrassed because we had a North Carolina State Representative there at the wedding and I expected it to be managed a little better than it was. So, I am giving the Hudson Manor just an ok — Nancy

I was just recently going through photos of the wedding & realized how truly gorgeous the reception was. I had to drop a few lines to give more kudos to Melissa C. (Owner) & Kyle O., florist at Donovan’s Dish. Although the weather was very upsetting & I couldn’t get married in her gorgeous rose garden, the reception area was breathtaking thanks to them. It looked like something from a fairy tale.
Before seeing it all come together, I was often flustered & stressed from planning it all & let a few things slip. I forgot to do a few things like print a photo for the card box — Melissa was there to take care of it; we were late & were bringing some of the décor, so it was late — Melissa took care of it. I didn’t want to have to make anymore decisions the day of so — Melissa & a family friend coordinated everything.
So, I felt like I needed to leave just a bit more for any future brides. I was a stress ball & throughout the whole day I must say Melissa really came through. I can only imagine how stressful it must be to host a big lavish wedding, so her carrying the burden of my stress & her own was very appreciated!!! She’s got a great property out there with a good thing going with the all inclusive packages. Her grounds are gorgeous & the lakeside terrace is perfect reception space. Go check it out!

If you are in the triangle area and are looking for wedding venues you should definitely take a look at The Hudson Manor. This venue is beautiful and about 45 min outside of Raleigh. Whether you are looking for a venue for an outdoor wedding or indoor wedding The Hudson Manor can accommodate both. Unfortunately it rained while I was here for a wedding this past weekend so they moved the ceremony into the chapel on site but there was nothing to be disappointed about the chapel was beautiful and the indoor reception area was gorgeous plenty of room for a big wedding and a beautiful landscape.
