Bridal Parties & the Like: Downtown Raleigh

April 1, 2009 lisa.jeffries

I have been been bouncing around the idea of starting a website or blog dedicated to being the most awesome bridesmaid you can be… ever. You know, something to the tune of “winggirls.com”.

Why? Because I get asked questions like this on a weekly, if not daily, basis.

“Hey Lisa – Where should I plan a bridal party in Raleigh for about 20-30 guests?“
Here are a few of my recommendations:
Amra’s {http://amrasraleigh.com/}
Super trendy upscale decor, great wine selection, and catering available from Tobacco Road.
On Glenwood

Tobacco Road {http://tobaccoroadsportscafe.com/about/index.html}
Dining room or private room reservation. Great food, full bar, and a very attentive and friendly staff.
On Glenwood

Metro Café {http://www.wix.com/metrocafeandlounge/metrocoffee}
The girls from the E. Riley-soon-to-be-Dorn team and I hosted one here recently. They let us bring in our own food (great budget saver) and were SO nice.
City Market

Peche de Chocolat {http://www.pechechocolat.com/}
A chocolate and wine bar that has just relocated from City Market to Glenwood, too. Laura is the owner, she’s awesome.

The Oxford – {http://oxfordraleigh.com/}
For a large party, you can likely reserve the area “under the stars” that stayed after the conversion from Yancey’s to The Oxford. Great food, full bar.
Fayetteville Street


All of these suggestions are in Downtown Raleigh. Each website should have an email address or a contact page for you or whoever is planning your party to contact each venue about hosting the event there.

If anyone reading wants some options in Cary or any other parts of town, just shoot me an email or leave a comment!

Any other Downtown suggestions from my fellow Raleigh kids?
