Cary Hill 1741

Make your event historic!

Cary Hill 1741 is an private estate, lovingly maintained for over 275 years, that specializes in intimate weddings, private parties and country retreats.  Our classic 18th century manor house was purchased by Kip Kephart in 1958 and he set to work refurbishing and decorating with colonial works of art and antiques, providing an environment that honors our history while setting an incredible backdrop for your wedding day.  This classic setting is also fused with an eclectic modern vibe, creating an atmosphere that is perfect for any wedding.
