Franklinton Wedding Venue — Scarborough House

Couples planning a wedding in Franklinton, North Carolina looking for a historic private estate find Scarborough House approximately eighty miles east in Stantonsburg, NC. The drive runs about ninety-five minutes via US-1 South to I-540 East to I-87 / US-264 East, with no tolls. The estate is the oldest home in Wilson County, built in 1821, and offers a private weekend buyout that runs Friday afternoon through Sunday morning for $10,500. Thirteen private bedrooms across five separate buildings sleep 28 overnight guests in standard bedroom beds, plus a bonus twin bed for 29 fixed overnight bed spaces, so the bridal party and immediate family stay on-property rather than scattering to hotels.

Five outdoor ceremony sites and the covered open-air Magnolia Pavilion plus patio — accommodating around 250 event guests subject to venue review — mean the full wedding weekend, from the Friday rehearsal dinner through the Sunday farewell brunch, happens inside one gate on one property. Franklinton couples typically route their wedding party west through Franklin County and out along US-264 on Friday afternoon. All-inclusive micro weddings for up to thirty event guests start at $5,500. No required vendor list and no food and beverage minimum.
