Cadillac Service Garage 
Rating: 5.0 (21 reviews)
Greensboro, NC
  • Up to 225 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,600

Cadillac Service Garage is located in the heart of downtown Greensboro. As we renovated this historic 1921 Cadillac Dealership, we respected its character and kept the exposed brick walls, original black & white marble Showroom floor and lofty 30' ceilings with skylights. We added only "real" materials like concrete, brick, steel, reclaimed wood and glass in bringing the old building back to life as a wedding venue. The result is a truly unique, handcrafted, industrial urban-renewal work of art! Cadillac Service Garage features a private Terrace Courtyard, gorgeous architectural features, industrial texture and a Wandering Garden for photography, multiple indoor & outdoor ceremony locations, two large, well-appointed private suites with early access, two built-in bars, a built-in stage, on-site parking, custom-built farm tables & Chiavari chairs, and custom lighting that includes permanent (indoor & outdoor) festoon string lights.

Cannot say enough good things about Cadillac and their entire team — from start to finish everything was incredible, from the planning to the execution, every little detail was perfection. The space itself is absolutely stunning and is the perfect “blank slate” to add your own personality to. The outdoor space is amazing, the bridal suites are gorgeous, the venue is spacious but still feels intimate. Truly don’t have a bad word to say! Can’t imagine getting married anywhere else. 3

From the moment my husband and I first reached out to Belle Vue Wilmington, we were impressed by their fantastic communication style. Ray was incredibly easy to work with, providing thorough and friendly guidance throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, his attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs made the experience truly seamless and stress-free. The venue itself was simply stunning - a beautiful, intimate, and romantic space that felt so elegant and special. Ray is one of the most amazing human beings I've ever met, and he and the Belle Vue team made our wedding day a truly magical experience. I give Ray and Belle Vue 1000 stars and would recommend them to any couple in a heartbeat.

Highland is definitely the best venue in Asheville! The rooftop has beautiful mountain views, the barrel room has a great skylight and hanging greenery, and the reception space can be made into whatever you want it to be. We used all three spaces for our wedding and it has great flow and plenty of space for a larger guest count. Erin & Bailey were both extremely helpful throughout the entire process from touring/initial questions to all the tiny details leading up to the big day. Our wedding was scheduled shortly after the hurricane in fall 2024, and we were so passionate about having it at Highland that we rescheduled to 6 months later, and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Amazing staff, excellent draft beer, convenient to downtown, and a beautiful space; we can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

We believe that celebrating life and hosting is one of the greatest joys imaginable. Our lives take us in so many different directions, that finding the time, much less the space to be together feels impossible. When events can be firmly put on the calendar, you have achieved an amazing feat. Gathering so many people with different lives and schedules for one night is a monumental task. We have an incredibly large family ourselves so every birthday and holiday feels like a massive event. Once you nail down the date, we want to be the space where you can host your loved ones. Where you can share food and drink, and create a memory that will stay with them for a lifetime. We would be honored if you could create those memories with us. We created this space with our family in mind and we hope we can share it with yours

I have photographed with Klarie on numerous occasions, including restaurant photos, family portraits, and photography of her own events. Every time, Klarie has been such a joy to work with and so easy to communicate with, so I have no doubt that clients will be in good hands planning their events here! As a wedding and event photographer, there are many things I look for in a venue which can set it apart as deserving of a recommendation. After touring Suenos, it's very clear that Klarie put a lot of thought and intention into every aspect of the venue's design. Having an outdoor space which is covered is a very smart thing with our NC weather, and having a barn-style indoor space with so many windows allows for beautiful ambient light even when indoors. The indoor bathrooms in the barn are some of the nicest venue bathrooms I've seen, and it's great to have outdoor bathrooms just a few steps away as well. Because the venue is so far off the road and set back against the treeline, the entire space feels very peaceful and secluded, while still being easily accessible. And I absolutely adore the cottage (and it's bathtub!) which would be perfect for getting ready photos. Klarie has an exceptional eye for decor and design, so I love that the spaces can be tailored to fit each of her events. Each of the venue spaces as well as the property itself feels spacious, offers a huge variety of photo backdrops perfect for any season, and has fantastic light both during the day and once the sun has set. I look forward to getting to photograph here!

We love this brewery and have been visiting as normal customers for years. The event was mildly disapointing though - it was pretty clear that they did not prioritize the event or even communicate between team members. I emailed my main contact with my specific grievances; at the end of the day, the event was fine. We had a good time and it all ended well, they could have just done a much better at communicating, preparing and honestly caring.

We loved having our big day at Weaver House. We used their full planning services and their catering. Alexandra is very easy to work with and is that calming presence on your wedding day! The venue itself if beautiful - we picked it partly because of the gardens outside since we love the outdoors and love spending time at our local arboretum. The catering was amazing as well - Chef Joey and Chef Brit take time to learn what you and your partner like and can put those spins on dishes you choose. The value is also great for the Western North Carolina area. We are so glad we kept our wedding in WNC after Helene and could support a wonderful space that truly wanted our day to be what we envisioned.

While the venue pricing didn't include a lot of additional things (i.e. room set up/flip, room design, decor, coordination is all extra) , it was still worth the cost and has so many amazing spots for photos! The vibes are amazing and the bridal suite is fantastic for getting ready! We loved celebrating our special day at this venue!

Chatham Station was the perfect venue for my husband and I. We were on the search for a venue that had an indoor/outdoor feel as well as convenient for our guests staying in downtown Cary. Chatham Station answered all of that. The venue has beautiful garage doors that we kept open throughout our wedding to keep that indoor/outdoor feel during the night. It is located in downtown Cary, which is walkable from the Mayton as well as a short Uber or drive to many hotels in the area. The venue is gorgeous on its own with its natural light and exposed brick and does not need a lot of decor or florals to make it beautiful. We had great communication and service from the owners and the staff of the venue who helped make our day perfect. I couldn’t recommend this venue enough.
