Can we use our own planner and vendors?
Absolutely. You’re welcome to work with the planner and vendors of your choice. We do require that couples work with a professional planner to ensure the day runs smoothly, and that any alcohol service be provided by a licensed, insured bartender.
Why should we choose Watergrass?
If you're looking for an event space that combines convenience with genuine local character, you're going to love Watergrass. Our barn was built a century ago, and our farmhouse is even older, dating back to 1840. They are deeply rooted in their surroundings and imbued with history—while standing just ten minutes from the modern conveniences of downtown Chapel Hill. But don't take our word for it: schedule a visit and see for yourself!
