Welcome to Holly Forest,
nature’s most enchanting “I do.”
Holly Forest is set on 100+ acres at Heritage Farm in Henderson, NC, just an hour from the heart of Raleigh.
Natural beauty.
Modern Elegance.
At Holly Forest, every celebration is wrapped in nature’s beauty.
Exchange vows beneath the tall pines of The Grove, beside the shimmering waters of Sunset Pond, or gather with loved ones in The Gathering Place, our rustic-chic event hall designed for dining, dancing, and laughter.
Each space has its own character: woodland charm, pastoral romance, and warm indoor comfort — yet together they create a seamless experience where every moment feels connected and unforgettable.
The Grove
An intimate woodland retreat
Tucked beneath a canopy of towering pines, The Grove is a secluded, grassy clearing that offers a natural and serene setting for weddings and gatherings.
The soft lawn and open space create an inviting atmosphere, while the surrounding forest provides both privacy and breathtaking beauty.
With sunlight filtering through the trees by day and twinkling lights easily strung for evening celebrations, The Grove is an enchanting space that feels both intimate and expansive — a perfect backdrop for saying “I do” in nature’s embrace.
Sunset Pond
Romance by the water
Set against rolling pastures and framed by mature trees, Sunset Pond is one of Holly Forest’s most picturesque ceremony sites.
The tranquil water reflects the colors of the sky as the day fades, creating a breathtaking natural backdrop. A rustic silo and open meadow add charm and character, blending pastoral beauty with timeless romance.
Whether bathed in golden afternoon light or glowing under string lights after dusk, Sunset Pond offers couples a peaceful, open-air setting that feels both rustic and elegant.
The Gathering Place
Celebrate together
Rustic charm meets modern comfort at Holly Forest’s signature event building. With space to seat up to 150 guests, wide openings, and a warm, open interior, it’s the heart of every celebration.
Perfect for dinner, dancing, and late-night laughter, The Gathering Place keeps the entire wedding experience connected in one beautiful setting.
Just steps from the meadow and ceremony sites, it offers both convenience and character — a versatile canvas that can be dressed up for elegance or kept simple to let the natural wood shine.
