Based in Holly Springs, North Carolina, the Leslie-Alford-Mims House is a historic wedding venue just 25 minutes from Raleigh, NC. This vintage wedding venue is a white mansion originally constructed in 1840 on more than an acre of land. Couples can host up to 225 guests and options are available for both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies and receptions. The oversized porte-cochere, which was once used for horses and carriages, can double as your dance floor. Guests can explore multiple historic rooms, while the Event Patio serves as an outdoor wedding reception area. Envision your guests perusing the mansion while a pianist plays the Baby Grand. Picture hosting your wedding reception in the Event Lawn either under a tent, beneath market lights or in the open-air. What makes the Mims House different than other Raleigh area wedding venues? It’s more than a wedding venue.
