Historic Downtown Event Venue
Melrose Knitting Mall is a historic venue located in downtown Raleigh, NC. Originally built in 1903, this building sat mostly vacant for most of the 20th century when the textile mill closed in 1930. The event space at Melrose Knitting Mall is an elegant banquet hall that is awash in natural light. This sunlight streams in through 24 large, arched windows set into the exposed brick walls and sparkles off of two rows of crystal chandeliers. Above the festivities, rough cut beams add to the rustic ambiance, while dancing and dining takes place on rich hardwood floors. A custom bar rounds out a sophisticated industrial-style lounge. Couples who choose to wed in this venue will be enchanted by the chic aesthetic that these stunning features create. Weddings at Melrose Knitting Mill are supported by the venue's experienced event planners. They offer a range of packages to suit each couple's unique needs, from day-of coordination to full-service planning.Catering for events held at Melrose is taken care of by the on-site team at the ground floor's Mulino Italian Kitchen. To-be-weds can also choose from a range of signature cocktails to put their own stamp on a toast. China, silverware, and glassware are all supplied by the venue, as well as banquet servers to help the reception run smoothly.
