Bespoke space

We learned of Forest Hall from my MIL who had gone to a wedding there. When we got engaged we went for a tour and booked! They gave us a first responder discount, which was incredibly thoughtful. They also told us that they were renovating their bridal suite! The price point of the venue was perfect and the included chairs and gorgeous farm tables makes it even better. There are beautiful market lights that add the perfect ambiance to the space. The huge windows and original wood floors are beautiful. Greg and Danielle were amazing to work with and we appreciate how flexible and responsive they were. They had little touches in the bridal suite for all your emergency needs. You can also add on the lounge area for the groom and groomsmen. It is attached to The Sycamore, the restaurant next door (which is so good and you need to try as well). That space is perfect for the guys to hang out before the ceremony and makes for great photos. If you are looking for an outdoor ceremony they have a lovely space outside to accommodate! I cannot recommend Forest Hall enough!

A venue that has everything you need in one spot!

Forest Hall is a wedding venue that can adapt to indoor or outdoor needs, offers a mix of historical, vintage, rustic and industrial, and provides a private, secluded option for any set up you wish. The staff and catering are awesome- so helpful and kind throughout the process- and flexible to meet needs and wishes. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, cozy, and flexible

From our first tour of Forest Hall, my husband and I knew it was the venue for us. The space is beautiful and customizable, but more importantly the staff and ownership are kind, caring, and fantastic at their jobs. Our entire family and bridal party were impressed with the venue manager, Danielle's, efficiency and organization, and how well she kept our rehearsal and wedding day running smoothly. Danielle, Greg, and their team are some of the best in the business, and they made sure our wedding was every bit as beautiful as we had imagined and then some.

Greg
Greg
Venue Owner

Greg and his wife, Maria, have been in the restaurant and catering business for over 30 years. Previously owners of “Catering By Design” in Cary, NC, they sold that business to move to Chatham County and open a restaurant (The Sycamore) and new catering company (39 West). They took over ownership of Forest Hall in 2020. Over the years, Greg has taken pride and care in every wedding he’s hosted and catered, making sure that the couples are not just happy, but are over-the-top impressed with the food, service, and attention to detail that he and his staff provide. If you read our reviews, you’ll quickly get a good understanding of the great impression Greg makes on clients!
