Graylyn is a 55-acre stone manor estate in Winston-Salem, built by the Gray family in the late 1920s and now run by Wake Forest University as a Historic Hotels of America member. Ceremonies take place in the White Garden or the smaller Rose Garden, with 85 guest rooms on site.

The story

A Stone Manor Estate in Winston-Salem

Graylyn stands on about 55 acres a few minutes from downtown Winston-Salem. The main house was built by the Gray family in the late 1920s and is now owned and run by Wake Forest University. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and belongs to Historic Hotels of America. The estate has 85 guest rooms across the manor and its outbuildings, so a wedding party can stay on the property for the whole weekend.

The two gardens do most of the ceremony work. The White Garden, with its stone gazebo, is listed for ceremonies of up to 275 guests, while the Rose Garden suits a smaller group of around 100. The venue's own wedding guide says the standard ceremony fee covers up to 150 guests, with larger numbers arranged on request. Receptions are held in the manor's historic rooms or in event spaces elsewhere on the grounds, and the largest reception holds around 250 seated.
