Absolutely Everything You Need To Know About A Gorgeous Heights House Hotel Wedding

Absolutely Everything You Need To Know About A Heights House Hotel Wedding

Hello, it’s me, again! And I’m here to introduce you to the Heights House Hotel, the most beautiful Raleigh wedding venue of your modern wedding dreams. Today, I’m going to dish the details on everything you need to know about a Heights House Hotel wedding. Let’s get into it, lovelies!

Modern & Neutral Wedding Aesthetic Of Your Dreams

Before we talk about any of the other incredible features of the Heights House Hotel, we have to chat about the swoon worthy interior (and exterior!) design of this modern venue. Each room is completely renovated with colors that will never clash with any wedding palette and decked out with large windows that bring in the dreamy natural light.

Whether you’re getting ready in the Honeymoon suite with it’s quaint green bathtub and stunning makeup table setup or grabbing those gorgeous portraits in the parlor with the floor to ceiling windows–every portrait you take at your Heights House Hotel Wedding is going to be iconic! (Seriously, take it from me I’ve been sooting weddings for 9+ years now!)

Great Gatsby Glam

Even though this Italianate Style Mansion was commissioned in 1858, everything about it’s current renovation feels like something from the 1920s with a modern twist. The nine guest rooms are adorned with modern gold embellished furniture and dreamy neutral accents. It’s so easy to picture a stunning and glamorous vibe for your Heights House Hotel Wedding. 

Guests can get dolled up in their finest at the hippest Raleigh wedding venue in Boylan Heights! (That’s actually where the Heights House Hotel got it’s name–Boylan Heights!)

Swanky Wedding Day Soiree

One of my favorite features about a Heights House Hotel Wedding? The intimate atmosphere! Every wedding includes access to the entire property for the entire weekend, which means you’re going to have a blast with your closest family and friends. Your guests will have nine bedroom accommodations to choose from (well, you’ll be claiming the honeymoon suite of course!) and will be treated to a European style breakfast every morning.

In addition, there are so many fantastic restaurants within walking distance that you’ll be able to bring the rehearsal dinner back to the Heights House Hotel before the big day!

Following with the times, a Heights House Hotel wedding will be keeping the guest count more intimate as well. Although the property can accommodate up to 149 people, you’ll be wanting to shoot for 60-80 guests for your wedding day. This is perfect for those cozy and candid moments spent celebrating with those you love the most!

Craft Cocktails to Die For!

Speaking of keeping the party cozy and candid–you’ll be sipping on some of the best cocktails around for your Heights House Hotel wedding! The in-house bartending team is absolutely fabulous and every wedding I’ve photographed at the Heights House Hotel has been full of guests raving about the wide selection from the open bar.

It’s always cute to see the team come up with speciality signature cocktails for the couples too! I’ve seen them use cotton candy and sugar crystals to really bring the drinks to life.

Incredible Wedding Day Experience

One of my personal favorite aspects of a Heights House Hotel wedding is the stress-free experience all of my couples get to enjoy. The Heights House Hotel staff is top tier and make sure that the entire wedding planning process is seamless. They make phenomenal wedding vendor recommendations and truly show up for their couples from start to finish!

They have required caterers and wedding planners to choose from, which means you’re choosing from vendors they absolutely know are going to make your wedding day magical. I have loved getting to be a part of every event at the Heights House Hotel weddings.

Time To Talk Vendors!

Now that you’ve chosen to have a Heights House Hotel wedding, it’s now time to think about your wedding vendors. I know how hard this step is, and I want to make it as easy on you as possible! I’m a seasoned Raleigh wedding photographer and have 10+ years of experience making the most out of couples’ wedding photos.

I know how to capture the best of the best when it comes to editorial, posed, and candid photos. Ready to inquire about your wedding? I am so glad you asked. Let’s get you on the books today!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things.

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”
