Seven Paths Manor in
Spring Hope (NC)

Attended my nephew's wedding here. Great place, staff was excellent and the facilities are perfect! Highly recommended!

Went there for my friend’s wedding and the staff was severely uncoordinated. You can paint a picture but you can’t predict the weather, I get it. But, as a guest viewing the catastrophic execution of my friend’s wedding, I’m surprised she wasn’t crying. Brides, save yourself the funds and book someone else if you want to have your dream wedding.

Myself and now wife were married here a few weeks ago and it was a great experience from start to finish. The team was very helpful and flexible with how we wanted to have the wedding, as well as insightful on some dos and do nots, think they know a thing or two because they have seen a thing or two! The process was great getting to know the team and seeing the venue on the open house days to check something borrowed to save us time and money on decorations. The best was on the day of the weather was rocky and so there was calm change to still keep our wishes ready in case rain did not come but to have everything in place for a quick swap in case it did! Really great experience, wonderful venue, and great staff, Shayla is the bomb!

Future Brides, Please Beware — Our Experience with Seven Paths Manor Was Deeply Disappointing As the mother of the bride, I wanted my daughter’s wedding day to be absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, Shayla the owner of Seven Paths Manor, made that nearly impossible. Her attitude was cold, unprofessional, and controlling it honestly felt like we were dealing with Miss Trunchbull rather than someone running a wedding venue. Shayla personally promised during our final walk-through that all details would be handled and that my daughter’s “first look” would be a private, distraction-free moment with no vehicles entering or leaving. Instead, the gates were open, cars were coming and going, and that special moment one they’ll never get back was ruined. To make matters worse, Shayla rushed guests out at the end of the night as if there was an emergency. There was no grace, no warmth, and absolutely no sense of hospitality. Thankfully, the vendors we hired were amazing Michael from Showside Grill, Krista our makeup artist, the Cooks our photographers, and the catering crew all went above and beyond. They were the saving grace of the day. The real issue was Shayla! Her lack of professionalism and compassion completely overshadowed what should have been a beautiful, joyful celebration. Future brides and families: be cautious. Don’t be fooled by promises make sure everything is in writing and know exactly who you’re dealing with. This was supposed to be a perfect day, and it breaks my heart how easily it was mishandled.

As a wedding photographer, I absolutely love working at Seven Paths Manor! The property is stunning with endless photo opportunities — from the grand Southern-style architecture to the beautifully landscaped grounds. The staff is welcoming, professional, and always goes above and beyond to ensure the day runs smoothly for couples and vendors alike. If you’re dreaming of an elegant, timeless wedding setting in North Carolina, this venue is a must-see!

Great venue with tons of options. We got married in front of the pond between the trees. Staff had a lot of know-how and are professional. Even when a heatwave hit, they were able to accommodate and helped us make our wedding a beautiful, magical experience.

Our team has had the pleasure of planning two weddings at Seven Paths Manor. The venue is stunning and Shayla and Tamra and their team are so kind and accommodating to vendors and guests. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful venue. The grounds are so well kept and maintained. The wedding coordinator is BEYOND helpful and so pleasant. She handled EVERYTHING from A to Z. If you are looking for a wedding venue, look no further!

We had the privilege and honor of having Casey and Cody’s wedding at your beautiful venue last Friday. It was an absolutely perfect day in every way. Tamra did an amazing job as the coordinator! She worked tirelessly on every detail along with the rest of the staff. Everyone was amazing! You even made a rain delay go super smoothly! Thank you for knowing what to do with the rain and working hard to be sure that Casey and Cody were able to have their wedding at the location that they chose. It was wonderful! Our guests have bragged on the beauty of the venue and also how hard everyone worked to make the day go so smoothly. We will continue to sing your praises! Thank you again for all that everyone did to be sure that Casey and Cody had the day they had dreamed of for their wedding day!

Seven Paths Manor is a wedding / event venue located just outside Spring Hope, about 25 miles east of Raleigh. The spread covers about 500 acres and has a manor house, stables, small outbuildings and areas outside for reception tents and outdoor services. Note the house can be rented for overnight stays but is not itself suitable for large gatherings.

My husband and I got married here in June, and we loved everything about our wedding day! Seven Paths Manor worked with us for over a year, as we planned our wedding at their venue. They patiently answered our phone calls, emails, and numerous questions! Their staff are kind, diligent, and well experienced in planning events. There are so many things I love about this venue, but here are my top favorites: 1. The plentiful ceremony locations to choose from! We chose "The Grove," and could not have been happier. They had just gotten brand new church pews, which gave the whole area an elevated feel. We loved getting married under the tall trees that formed a tree tunnel that looks like a natural "church steeple." It was the perfect outdoor chapel! 2. The Something Borrowed Collection! Brides, I cannot say this enough: GAME CHANGER! SPM offers so much decor that is available to use when you book with them! I came to 4 or 5 of the Open Houses before my wedding, and played around with the decor. After this, I spent hours going through it on their website. This helped me know exactly what I wanted to borrow for our wedding! I believe our wedding decorations turned out so beautiful! 3. The Open Houses! Once you book with them, you get access to Open Houses, which means you can go out to the venue during that window of time, talk to their team, and play with decor. Sometimes, they have preferred vendors come and it's nice to meet them, especially if you are still looking for a vendor! It is a great chance to make huge progress in your planning! 4. Finally, the opportunity to spend the night on the property! Our package allowed us to sleepover in the Manor House after the Rehearsal Dinner, the night before our wedding. This made logistics so much easier! The house accommodated my family, my husband's family, and our bridal party! We loved getting to go night swimming in the pool with our bridal party! It is a beautiful home. We used the kitchen for a lot of the food and meals leading up to our ceremony. The home is a great central location for planning, prepping, and getting ready for the wedding! On our wedding day, we had our own Day of Coordinator, and the SPM team worked well with her and her team. My husband and I loved getting married at Seven Paths, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue, with a great team, and excellent amenities! The venue truly has everything you need.

Seven Paths Manor is truly one of a kind and as a photographer, I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for the perfect place to host their wedding. The Manor House is absolutely stunning - and makes for the perfect backdrop to a southern wedding as well as beautiful portraits. Their are other countless other locations on the property for a gorgeous ceremony - and the reception space is large and accommodating to any decor style. The amenities offered at the venue are unmatched - from golf carts that bring guests and the wedding party to and from the locations on the property throughout the day, to a children's area for parents to drop their little one's off at during the wedding, to a huge inventory of decor items, Seven Paths Manor and their wonderful staff is sure to make any couples day perfect.

Seven Paths is such an incredible and unique place! We got married there in April and our wedding was everything we've dreamed of and more. Shayla and her team were so responsive and always there to help along the wedding planning process. Joseph, who was our day of coordinator, was amazing! He made the day go seamlessly and made everyone so comfortable, which definitely eased wedding day stress! Our guests can't stop talking about what an amazing venue and day it was. This will forever be such a special place to us!

I cannot thank Tamra and Joseph enough for making our wedding day truly amazing! Tamra was our Day of Coordinator and made things go so smoothly I never once knew if anything was wrong. I was able to get ready with all my girls and enjoy my morning with no stress! This team is one of a kind and I could not have asked for better! The open houses to help you decorate your tables and reception area helped out so much with the stress of planning and I loved every minute of it! You cannot go wrong with Seven Paths Manor!

We got married on friday, and couldn’t have picked a better place. The entire staff was wonderful, helpful, and did a great job at keeping track of everything and making sure we followed our timeline. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and i love that there’s so many ceremony options and places to get good pictures! We loved all of the unique features as well from the beer burrows (huge crowd fav) to getting so much decor to use for the day, also super affordable compared to a lot of other venues in Raleigh. 10/10 recommend!!

I am so happy that we chose this venue! It truly is the most beautiful and all-inclusive in this area. At the time that we booked (Summer 2022), it was similar in price to several that other venues that were simply just plots of land. The team is absolutely fabulous and worked beautifully with my planner and all my vendors. I had a New Year Eve's weekend wedding and never felt too cold.

Not only is this an absolutely beautiful venue, but what really sets it a part from the rest is that the team at Seven Paths Manor is amazing. They go above and beyond to meet any of your needs and take care of the bride & groom. Tamra and Joseph were incredible, and always right there if we needed anything. They have several golf carts for yours & your guests' convenience. I loved working with this venue and highly recommend!

We got married on 9/02/23!! And I want to tell everyone about our experience. Firstly, from the minute I called Shayla, the owner, to our first tour, to booking, to the wedding date - she said she was going to be there every step of the way AND SHE WAS!! Easing my nerves, answering my thousands of questions, whatever I needed - she was there. Now, the venue! IT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Pictures and videos cannot even begin to show the beauty. The mansion, the horse pastures, the gazebo, the VIEWS! Just all around gorgeous. I will say - having the property for the entire weekend made our wedding that much more special. Our parents, siblings, and bridal party were all able to stay on property. Spending the entire weekend together made everyone's weekend! I also feel the need to mention that if anything goes wrong, which it always will during a wedding, the Seven Paths Manor team is there. A few examples - first, we tripped the power the night of the rehearsal. I called Shayla, and she and the mechanic were there in 7 minutes and fixed the problem immediately. (Keep in mind it was 10PM!!) This goes to show how much they truly care about your weekend being perfect. Also, which I hesitate to mention... I got a nose bleed 4 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. The SPM team was there, not only for moral support, but also to find a tampon to shove up my nose. (Yes, it clotted and no blood was on my dress.) But I was 30 minutes late to the ceremony! LOL Needless to say, the venue, the team, the decor selection, the option for Nay Tag (YOU MUST DO THIS - WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT!) it was all perfect. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. The Seven Paths Manor team will forever be a part of my love story and the best weekend of my life!

A year ago, my husband and I said "I Do" to a life full of adventures together, and Seven Paths Manor was the starting line. I can write a book about how awesome this place is, from the first day we visited to the BIG day! The team at Seven Paths welcomed and treated us like family. They helped us each step of the way, from recommending our AMAZING coordinator Joseph to providing decoration from their Something Borrowed Collection to connecting with a DELICIOUS caterer, Michael's Showside Grille to everything we needed. The day of our wedding, it poured, but this team went above and beyond to change the ceremony location literally last minute to make sure everyone, wedding party and guests, we safe, comfortable, and dry. They're professionalism, honesty, and kindness truly added to our special day. Thank you Seven Paths Manor! We're so grateful for everything & miss you all! Photos done by Sean True Photography

Attended here for wedding. Lovely grounds!! Quaint gazebo, ponds, horses, goats, white fence, rose bushes, etc. BUT- not well equipped for large parties’ restroom needs.

I had a tremendous experience at Seven Paths Manor. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic venue. I felt taken care of and things were handled for me. I was not stressed and the team was phenomenal. They have a great something borrowed collection and several different ceremony areas. Just a beautiful range of pictures to be taken. We also had a last minute change up with the officiant and the ceremony spot due to rain - but no one would have been the wiser unless we told them. The staff are really focused on making your day incredible and I would say they supersede expectations! They also recommend the best vendors, they are people who really just add to your special day and make it even better.

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Seven Paths Manor recently and I am so happy with the experience. The venue staff was friendly, accommodating, and had real team-player mindsets with the client's best interest at heart. Not to mention that even on a rainy winter-month day the property itself is stunning. I love the look of the Manor house and the grounds are impeccably kept. I would absolutely recommend Seven Paths Manor to couples seeking a gorgeous, friendly, and versatile wedding venue!

Simply stunning! This place is so gorgeous, the staff is super friendly and accommodating ?? they definitely got their game on and know what they are doing! There are many ceremony spots available and much more! Pictures don’t do it justice ??‍♀️I worked a catering event here and I was just speechless! Keep up the great work!

Incredible doesn't even begin to cover it. I had the privilege of planning and coordinating a wedding at Seven Paths Manor that took place last weekend. First of all, the property is stunning. There are multiple options for ceremony sites and reception sites to accommodate everything from an intimate wedding ceremony to a 150+ person wedding. Shayla and Josh, the owners, take great care with their brides and grooms, and have done a great job of creating an affordable and accessible all-in-one venue. The Something Borrowed collection was a huge perk, having access to thousands of decor items at no added cost. I would highly recommend this venue to any couples looking for a beautiful place to get married!

Cannot say enough about our experience at Seven Paths Manor. Not only was the venue itself breathtaking but the entire staff could not have been more accommodating. Shayla and her team went above and beyond to ensure the entire weekend was perfect. Both Bride and Groom’s family stayed at the house for the weekend and had an unforgettable experience with everything we could possibly need. The house was spacious, immaculate and unreal! It was a perfect place for our families to get better acquainted. At the end of the weekend, none of us wanted to leave. They provide plenty of games for entertainment as well as beautiful grounds to explore. The guys were able to sneak off and fish in their two stocked ponds (fishing poles & bait were provided), while the ladies enjoyed mimosas next to the pool and hot tub. Shayla’s team felt like they were a part of the wedding party and we’re an absolute pleasure to work with. Shayla also recommended Michael to cater the weekend, an absolute must when booking. Not only did Michael cater the rehearsal dinner but also came to the house the day of the wedding to cook breakfast and lunch! His food was amazing, he definitely knows what he’s doing. We HIGHLY recommend hosting any event at Seven Paths Manor and hope to go back ourselves soon!

There are not enough words to express the amazing service we received from the staff at Seven Paths Manor. From the first initial tour of the property until our wedding day it a was unbelievable experience. They are responsive, friendly, and go above and beyond to help your dream wedding come to fruition. You will have no regrets choosing this venue for any of your events. Shout out to Shayla and her team for making our wedding something we will never forget!

We went to Seven Paths Manor with a youth group and had an AMAZING time!! The kids loved time grooming the mini horses, doing paddle boats and archery. The grounds are breathtaking- we felt like we were in a fairy tale! It was a picturesque atmosphere roasting marshmallows in the gazebo over the pond. Everything was perfect!
