Originally built in 1900, the historic building we call home is a multi-use property serving as the location for our third-story special events venue, offices on the second floor, and Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar on the ground floor.
About The Historic Wakefield Barn

Past the concrete and the crowds of the city, just under thirty minutes from Downtown Raleigh, you will find The Historic Wakefield Barn. The Barn is a place where Southern hospitality and great service are a way of life. From the moment you arrive, you and your guests will be embraced by the scenic beauty and pastoral views. Because of it’s natural charm and exquisite updates, The Historic Wakefield Barn has become one of the most unique wedding destinations in the South, drenching your special day in historic charm.
From the rolling hills and farmland to the restored barn, this venue is truly unmatched. The Barn, originally built in the 1930’s, now anchors the property, surrounded by the vast property. The outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour boasts a grand weeping elm surrounded by plush lawns spilling woods’ edge. These stunning backdrops and their seasonal beauty offer an inspiring array of unique possibilities for staging the perfect wedding ceremony and reception.
If you are a newly engaged bride to be or a COVID bride navigating trying to re-plan a wedding, we would love to help you! If you still don’t feel comfortable with in-person tours, we will be happy to schedule a virtual tour to show you our spaces as well.
