Melrose Knitting Mill


A Wedding Ceremony at The Rickhouse

A Historic Gem with Modern Appeal

Melrose Knitting Mill isn't your average wedding venue. Housed in a beautifully renovated former textile mill, this venue exudes a unique industrial-chic vibe that's hard to find elsewhere. The exposed brick walls, soaring wooden beams, and large windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere that's both rustic and refined.

Here's why couples (and DJs!) love it:

  • Unique Atmosphere: The building's history is palpable, giving your wedding a sense of character and depth that newer venues simply can't replicate.

  • Versatile Space: Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Melrose Knitting Mill can accommodate your needs. The open floor plan can be easily customized to create different areas for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We love how we are front and center of the dance floor and every single wedding we have is a wild dance party!

  • Downtown Location: Situated in the heart of downtown Raleigh, the venue offers easy access to hotels, restaurants, and other attractions. This is a major plus for out-of-town guests!

  • Stunning Photo Opportunities: From the exposed brick walls to the picturesque pool area downstairs at Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar, Melrose Knitting Mill provides a plethora of backdrops for your wedding photos.
