Cassie T. Sent on 10/30/2024The Maxwell is extremely reliable, responsive, and high-quality.
As soon as we visited The Maxwell we knew it was the venue for us - the space is beautiful and having the ceremony + reception all in one place was just what we wanted. The venue staff were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning and process and on the day of. All of our friends and family had an amazing staff and (in particular) were huge fans of the bar staff. Would highly recommend. -

Working with The Maxwell was the best experience during our wedding planning process! From the first venue tour we knew it was the perfect place for our celebration. Everyone on the staff is attentive, genuinely nice, and makes you feel welcome. Many of our guests that interacted with the staff commented on how nice and helpful everyone was. Every time we attended a showcase before our wedding, they warmly greeted us and asked how the planning process was going. Then once we got closer to the big day, Maddie was so responsive to any questions we had, and she helped us finalize details so that we had confidence that everything was in order. The venue itself is gorgeous – the photos online don’t do it justice! There are so many spaces for all our guests to enjoy dancing, lounging, or taking in some air on the patio/lawn. The Maxwell’s space provided us with the flexibility to add in so many design elements to achieve the look and feel we wanted for our wedding. If you are in the process of deciding on a venue for your wedding/event, you will not be disappointed with The Maxwell. They were the best decision we made! -

If you want the wedding of your dreams and the staff to meet those expectations, get married at the Maxwell. The venue is gorgeous and is extremely customizable to fit everyone’s taste. Beyond the venue itself, the staff who work there are the absolute best. We worked very closely with Maddie and she has become our all time favorite. She was extremely responsive, flexible and by the end of the night was more so one of our guests than a staffer. We can’t thank her enough for how much she truly cared about us as clients on our wedding night. You can tell her and her team treat this as more than a job. The Maxwell is clean, efficient and a perfect all-in-one venue. Even our plan C ceremony spot would've been a perfect plan A. And they recently made even more wonderufl upgrades, including adding an indoor couch and seating area and unbrellas on the patio. We can’t recommend the venue and the staff enough, we just wish we could do it all again! -

The Best Venue
The Maxwell is the absolute best wedding venue! My husband and I looked at quite a few wedding venues before choosing The Maxwell. We loved the venue from the moment we saw it and couldn’t be more happy with our choice. We loved how the venue had everything we needed in one area. It has the perfect outdoor setting, a great room for cocktail hour, and the best reception room. The women who work at The Maxwell were also why we chose this venue. They are amazing and were always available to answer any questions! We wish we would relive our wedding day there every weekend! -

If you’re looking for the perfect wedding venue, look no further! Not only does The Maxwell have the perfect space, they also have the best staff! From the moment we toured, we felt like we were part of The Maxwell family.
Regarding the physical space- it was perfect for what we were looking for! We wanted an indoor ceremony, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour in a different location from the ceremony and then an indoor reception and The Maxwell provided just that. The space itself is modern, simple, and elegant and leaves so much room to customize to make it your own.
As for the staff, our whole goal for hiring vendors was to hire the “A” team. We wanted vendors that once we hired, we knew they would be top-tier and The Maxwell staff is the best in the business! From the enjoyable showcases where we got to have a fun date-night and envision possibilities with catering, florals, and more to just the everyday planning of our wedding, everyone was patient, efficient, and helpful. Chelsea, Tova, Maddie, and Alex all worked extremely hard to make our wedding day nothing short of perfect.
We opted for the in-house day-of/month-of coordination and were so glad that we did. We thought who better to help us with everything than someone who works there- that’s where Alex came in! She was a great leader for our day-of and helped get all of our little details organized months ahead of time.
Some other highlights include the great bar staff that made sure our 160+ guests were never waiting in line for a drink- we just don’t know how they do it!
We could go on and on about everything but in simple terms, our wedding day was perfect and it could not have been without The Maxwell!

Douglas-Ochoa W. Sent on 03/19/2024🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Unforgettable Luxury Wedding Experience at The Maxwell
From the moment we stepped into The Maxwell, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our special day. Nestled in the heart of Raleigh, NC, The Maxwell exudes an air of timeless elegance and luxury that sets it apart from any other wedding venue in the area.
The Maxwell offers everything you could dream of for your big day and more. The on-site parking made logistics a breeze for our guests, allowing them to focus on enjoying the celebration. As soon as we entered, we were captivated by the venue's beautiful charm, seamlessly blending modern sophistication with classic regal touches.
What truly sets The Maxwell apart, however, is its exceptional team. Led by the incredible Maddie, their venue manager, she and Angela, their talented operations and bar manager, ensured every member of the staff went above and beyond to make our experience nothing short of perfection. Maddie's attention to detail and personalized service made us feel like royalty every step of the way, while Angela's expertise in crafting signature drinks, including an unforgettable espresso martini tower, added an extra touch of magic to our celebration.
But what truly touched our hearts was the genuine love and care that the staff at The Maxwell have for their couples. From the moment we booked our date to the last dance of the evening, we felt truly supported and cherished by everyone at the venue.
Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, thanks to The Maxwell and its extraordinary team. If you're looking for a luxury wedding venue that will exceed your every expectation and leave you with memories to last a lifetime, look no further than The Maxwell.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our day absolutely perfect. -

We absolutely loved The Maxwell! Not only is this venue beautiful, the team here is so easy to work with. The forecast for our wedding day was touch and go but the team was able to have both our rain plan and outdoor plan ready to go (luckily we were able to have the wedding outside as planned). The bar staff provided by the venue was also amazing. One of the things I loved about the venue were the showcase events so we could meet vendors and see The Maxwell decorated. Cannot say enough good things about this venue!! -

We had the best experience with the Maxwell! The space is stunning, modern, and a blank slate to make it your own. Our guests raved about how beautiful it was. Proximity to downtown Raleigh was very important to us, and this space is the perfect location. -

The Best Day
We had the most amazing wedding day and experience with The Maxwell. The employees are all so friendly and accommodating. From our initial viewing of the venue I could tell they were super organized. On our wedding day there were scattered storms forecasted all day but I really wanted an outdoor ceremony. They worked with me to set up the ceremony both outdoors and indoors so that I didn’t have to make an abrupt decision early in the day regarding the rain plan. The weather ended up cooperating for the hour it needed to for us to have our ceremony outside. Dreams do come true and The Maxwell is here to see to it! Thank you to The Maxwell team you guys are amazing!!! -

We got married at The Maxwell last week and we could not recommend the venue more! From the beginning, the staff was wonderful to work with. I had multiple questions throughout the process and they always worked with us for a solution. Sometimes you fear always hearing "no" to ideas but that was not the case. The venue itself is beautiful and we were able to make it our own. We got so many compliments on the space and were glad to be able to do everything (ceremony + reception) in one spot. Overall, I highly recommend checking out the maxwell! -

The Maxwell did a great job working with us to help make our wedding dream a reality. Tova was our month of coordinator and was an amazing resource for us with the final details and on the day itself. I would highly recommend the Maxwell and Tova to anyone! They’re such an incredible team and so easy to work with. The staff was amazing and so helpful! -

The Maxwell was a dream to work with! They host and invite their couples to so many events throughout the year, it is almost impossible not to picture your big day here. It is conveniently located in Raleigh (Close to downtown but just far enough away not to feel like you are in the hustle and bustle). It comfortably fit all of my guests (about 130 people) with plenty of room if we would have wanted more. We also loved that the space was a blank canvas so we could make it our own. The modern white brick design and patio space are gorgeous to capture, even with just an iPhone. The staff was extremely supportive/responsive leading up to the big day and helped things run so smoothly throughout the night. I cannot recommend this venue anymore. You are going to LOVE IT! -

The Maxwell was incredible in every single way! As soon as we walked in we knew it’s where we wanted to get married. The place is so beautiful and modern and you can customize it so it truly reflects you. I knew the Maxwell provided excellent service as every other vendor I hired would say oh great choice we love the Maxwell! They were so kind and prompt in communicating with us the whole way and the day of went off without a hitch. Great location, great service and great people!! Thank you Maxwell 👏🏻 -

Michaela B. Sent on 12/26/2022The best venue + team for our love story
The Maxwell was absolutely perfect for our of 75. It is a beautifully simple, yet very sophisticated space that allows you to create any vision of a fairytale. Our guests were all from out of state and we needed a venue with easy access to downtown Raleigh. Our guests were very appreciative of the short shuttle ride and the fact that the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all took place at the same location.
The staff at the Maxwell were top notch. Not only was everyone so helpful, they were accommodating and flexible to ensure our vision came to life. We did a few “out of the norm” things, and they were more than willing to
make all our wishes come true. -

We were so pleased with our experience at the Maxwell! Chelsea, Kathryn and their team are so efficient and our big day went off without a hitch. They were also very personable during the planning process and responsive to all my questions. They could not have been more accommodating with our preferences for room setup and cocktails! The space itself is also stunning and the perfect blank space to make your vision come to life. Parking is ample and bridal suite is perfect for getting ready with your girls—the Maxwell has every convenience! Everyone raved that it was so beautiful and one of the best weddings they had ever attended. -

My husband (so fun to say now!) and I loved this place from the minute we toured! Which was a few months before it was even completely finished! I love the availability of different spaces for each part of the event. And the elegance it holds even without any setup and decor is breathtaking. Cheslea is incredible and she has put together a wonderful team to make The Maxwell what it is. -

We loved working with The Maxwell. The customer service was spectacular. They made sure we had everything we needed on our wedding day. I do advise you read the fine print and realize you must use their approved catererers, DJs, florist, and wedding planners. They recommended Diane Wolk at Bustled Events and she was wonderful. -

The Maxwell was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is beautiful. The staff is great to work with and do their very best to make your day exactly what you're looking for. The white finish is elegant. The bridal suite is perfect to get ready in. It was a seamless one stop shop. Their vendor recommendations are easy to work with and honestly made planning super easy. When I thought of my wedding day, this place exceeded my expectations far more than I could have ever imagined.
