The Merrimon Wynne House is a historic home and wedding venue in downtown Raleigh, NC. It is full of charm and elegance, has southern hospitality, and has a distinct restored historic home vibe. It’s a location which is embraced by a lot of photographers like myself, for a lot of reasons. Specifically, the Merrimon Wynne House has had particular attention paid to making sure the interior of the home is bright white. So, not only are all the historic architectural features on full display, but it truly is a photographer’s dream to photograph. It’s similar to McAlister Leftwich House, but the Merrimon Wynne House has a few more perks. Plus, it has a longer history as a wedding venue.
As a wedding venue, it has a lot of options and flexibility for couples who are looking to have their weddings here.
