  Burning Coal Theatre Company makes its home in the historic Murphey School Auditorium in downtown Raleigh, a former schoolhouse the company restored and reopened in 2008 after a $1.5 million renovation.

The auditorium is available to rent for weddings, receptions, performances, meetings, and presentations. Its adaptable open floor and historic character suit everything from wedding celebrations to multi-day corporate workshops, and the theatre's staff work with renters on lighting and mood to shape the room for each phase of an event.

  • 1 Historic Space

  The Stockroom at 230 occupies the second floor of the historic Carolina Trust Building on Fayetteville Street in the heart of downtown Raleigh. The building dates to 1902, and the venue's name traces directly to its past: McLellan's Dime Store operated in the building from 1920, using the upper floors as stockrooms — a history the space now wears as a point of distinction. At 4,748 square feet, the room combines exposed brick walls, warm hardwood floors, and lofty lattice ceilings strung with market lighting. Expansive windows bring in natural light throughout the day, while a floor-to-ceiling chalkboard wall and a handcrafted live-edge wooden bar give the space its character. The venue seats 50 to 175 guests for receptions with a dance floor and accommodates up to 275 for cocktail-style events. The Stockroom at 230 hosts wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate meetings, speaking engagements, and social gatherings.

  Second Empire Restaurant and Tavern occupies the historic Dodd-Hinsdale House at 330 Hillsborough Street in downtown Raleigh — an 1879 Second Empire Victorian property originally built for Mayor William H. Dodd, featuring fourteen-foot ceilings and deep bay windows. After the Hinsdale family held the estate for nearly ninety years, the building fell into disrepair following John Hinsdale's death in 1971. The Reynolds family acquired and fully restored the property in the mid-1990s, reopening it as a fine dining destination. The restaurant has earned the DiRoNa award twice, the AAA Four Diamond Award three times, and the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for eight consecutive years. Executive Chef Daniel Schurr leads the kitchen. The venue hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, and private events across several spaces: formal dining rooms on the main floor, the casual Tavern downstairs with a climate-controlled wine cellar holding more than 250 labels, a glassed Atrium seating 42, and an intimate Chef's Table for up to four guests dining exclusively with the chef inside the kitchen itself.

  The Bradford

  523 Pea Ridge Rd, New Hill, NC 27562, USA

  NESTLED ON 12 ACRES IN THE QUAINT TOWN OF NEW HILL, THE BRADFORD WAS INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO EMBRACE THE COUNTRYSIDE OF EUROPE WHILE EMBODYING THE SERENITY OF HOME. IT IS A PLACE WHERE EFFORTLESS ELEGANCE MEETS APPROACHABLE LUXURY. AN EVENT AT THE BRADFORD IS NOT JUST A DAY OR A SINGLE MOMENT. IT IS A UNIQUELY TAILORED EXPERIENCE. The Bradford began on a paper napkin during lunch at Bear Rock Cafe while planning Dana's wedding. I know it sounds like every other venue start up...but that's really how it happened! Our original sketch looked something like a warehouse - nothing like our plans today. We decided then that if we were going to open a venue we should really learn more about the event planning process from a planner's perspective not just a bride's. Thus C and D began! After 6 years of planning events, we decided that we were ready to pursue our first dream of opening a venue. We searched high and low for the perfect piece of property (one that had enough space and perk was rather difficult to find). We eventually stumbled upon this little gem in New Hill and started the process of seeing if it would fit our needs. It took us 6 months to purchase, and go through the right avenues with county, 1 year to get financing, and in 2013 we started building! Our first event was August of 2014 and as they say, the rest is history! A lot of people ask if this was a historic home, or a family home - and the answer is no! We just built it to look old and historic. We put every thing we owned into this property and took a massive leap of faith- and we are so grateful we did! We love hosting events and love seeing our clients get married here and have the most perfect day. It is truly our dream job and we are so grateful for all the clients past and present that fell in the love with the property much like we did. WE CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU AND HOST YOUR PERFECT EVENT!
