"My favorite part about The Rafters at Historic St. Mark's is the fact that this beautiful church is right there, just steps away from the gorgeous venue. No time is wasted traveling from one spot to another, everything we could want is right here." ~Mallory, bride
(We couldn't agree more...) ♥️

The Rafters had the honor of hosting author Dr. David Walker yesterday while he was interviewed for his newest book. We love our tin roof, but it made for some big interruptions during the storms!

The Groom's Den: We can't forget about our guys! The guys can hang out and relax in our Groom's Den in Founder's Hall. They have Foosball, Co****le, poker, air hockey, darts, chess, TV, a refrigerator, couches, and leather lounge chairs to entertain them while they wait for the big moment to arrive.

Bridal Suite: Ok, the important stuff...the suites! Our Bridal Suite is found in the Parish House, a 7 room 2 bath house also on the historic registry. It has a large front porch looking out over the grounds toward the church, complete with comfy wicker furniture and an old fashioned swing just out front. The Bridal Suite has everything you need to relax and get ready for your big day! There is even a nursery for your guests should little ones get tired during the reception...and just 10 steps away from the reception hall!

The Rafters stunning windows, created by artist Jennifer Macon Dickson, are paned on both sides to be equally as beautiful on the outside as on the inside. They mirror the stained glass windows of our historic church and represent those in the room becoming one with the Holy Spirit. Much attention to detail and history was paid in the design of this venue.
