At Scarborough House, we believe your wedding should look, feel, and flow exactly the way you’ve always imagined. With four distinct lodging spaces that sleep up to 24 guests and multiple ceremony and reception settings across the property, you’re free to create a weekend that reflects your story — not someone else’s template.
From the historic house’s Southern charm to the poolside glow under string lights, every corner invites creativity, intimacy, and connection. This isn’t a venue that tells you how to celebrate — it’s one that says, “Go ahead, make it yours.”
Most brides tell us they want something different — not another cookie-cutter ballroom, not another timeline that feels rushed. And deep down, you probably feel that too. You don’t want rules; you want freedom with structure, beauty with purpose, space with soul. That’s exactly what we designed here.
Because when you walk through the doors of Scarborough House, it’s not about renting a venue — it’s about writing the chapter where your family and friends gather, laugh, and remember why they came together in the first place.
The Guest House at Scarborough House Resort is a recently updated, beautifully appointed, and masterfully decorated two-bedroom, two-bathroom home that blends comfort and convenience in the heart of the property. Just steps from the main reception area—where we’ve hosted weddings for up to 300 guests—this charming space offers a peaceful retreat after a night of celebration. Whether you’re the newly married couple looking for a romantic place to unwind, or you’re hosting out-of-town parents or grandparents who want to be close to the action, the Guest House is perfectly suited.
With elegant furnishings, cozy beds, and modern amenities, the space feels like home but with all the perks of a resort. It’s ideal for weekend stays, allowing you to soak up extra time with loved ones before and after your big day. Imagine waking up the morning after your wedding and walking out to coffee with family, laughter in the air, and no rush to pack up or head out. That’s the magic of Scarborough House. This is more than just a venue—it’s an experience designed to create unforgettable moments, from the first toast to the final goodbye.
The outdoor spaces at Scarborough House Resort offer a truly magical backdrop for your event or weekend getaway.

Whether you’re soaking in the views from the pool deck—where deer are often seen grazing nearby—or enjoying the breeze from a rocking chair, nature is always part of the experience here.
Take a dip in the pool and then sunbathe while listening to birdsong or laughter in the distance. Host a cookout, dance, or unwind under our expansive covered pavilion, complete with a built-in bar and space for lawn games.
