Our company had our annual Holiday Party at The Main House Events, and it was the most perfect venue! The venue was warm and inviting, and had plenty of room for our roughly 100 person event. The caterers had easy access to the kitchen, music played throughout the whole venue, we had a separate bar area that guests could grab a drink and step away from the chaos for a moment, and the staff was extremely kind and responsive to our needs. We cannot wait to host our party here next year, and I will definitely keep them in mind for any functions I have coming up!
Holiday Party
I was lucky enough to find this Gem while trying to plan a retirement party for my mother . I live in NC and trying to plan a party states away was a massive challenge but the Venue and the lovely couple that own this venue were nothing but amazing ! They made the entire experience a breeze ! I would recommend this venue.
Retirement Party
We booked for a family Celebration of Life Event. Hosts Kourtney and James were very straightforward, communicative, and delivered as talked about. We very much enjoyed working with them, and appreciated their prompt and helpful responses. Their process and online hub was very clear and helpful. The House itself, was just as described in the video walkthroughs and beautiful -- just a really great space! Would use them again, for sure.
Celebration of Life
The Main House Events is amazing, we couldn’t pick a better venue to have my daughter’s graduation party. The owners and event coordinator were very friendly and accommodating. They were always helpful and guided me with any questions I had. The venue was beautiful, welcoming, cozy and very relaxing. From the moment I walked through the doors I knew this would be the place to host my daughter’s graduation party and future events. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Pickens for allowing us to rent your venue and for making my daughter’s grad party a success. If you are looking for a venue for your wedding, birthday, or grad party give them a call.

I had a masquerade ball at the Main House and it was an absolutely perfect setting for it. Mr. & Mrs. Pickens are wonderful folks to work with, making sure everything was as it should be.
