Your wedding dream can become a reality at the
1812 Hitching Post.
We're skilled at coordination, set-up, and clean-up so you just
show up and get married for the most relaxed and enjoyable wedding
possible. The 1812 Hitching Post can be styled from casual
to formal to suit your personal style of elegance. You make
the choices and send us the ideas; we make them into
reality! We can also custom create a wedding design
exclusively for you.
If you've been touring our web site, you've already
realized that we're different than any other wedding/reception
location. It takes special people to deliver this
combination to you. We challenge you to find anything else
quite like us in this country!
At
the 1812 Hitching Post, we realize your wedding is one of the most
important days of your life and that you want to be sure those
taking care of you and your guests have commitment and passion to
work with each other and toward the goal of your successful
event. Our qualified staff and preferred vendors have
earned their trust with us and share our commitment to
you.
Some
couples choose to bring outside vendors. We have found the
best and most cost-effective weddings are those that have us
provide most of the services needed for the event. Our
preferred vendors have proven their reliability to us and their
commitment to satisfying the families who choose the 1812 Hitching
Post. Ask Wendy for more information.

At the 1812 Hitching
Post, we specialize in freshly made, never frozen cakes in popular
flavor choices. Cakes are with buttercream icing - we can
make it extra creamy and light if that is your preference.
Cakes are designed and decorated by professional designer, Patrick
Waldron. Fondant decorations are available.
Every
bride has her own style. We encourage you to be as creative
and include personal items with meaning from your home, if you
desire. You may bring your own centerpieces and aisle decor
for us to set-up for you or let us create decor from your
ideas.

Food and Beverage
You
want your guests to enjoy every bite of the food served at your
wedding. We love food that is fresh and tasty. How
many weddings have you attended where people rave about the food?
You'll taste how much we care in every dish that is served.
We use our antique silver and crystal for a lovely presentation.
At the 1812 Hitching Post, we have several standard buffet options
which give you and your guests a wide variety of foods in
unlimited quantities at an affordable price. We also
customize menus frequently to include anything you and your
friends and family would find enjoyable. Our goal is to
please you. We offer our menus as suggestions but are happy
to include all types of meal service. Some popular choices
include outdoor roast pork (luau), Italian dinner, surf and turf
(steak and shrimp), and grilled chicken or barbeque. We also
have consultants available to ensure your ethnic selections are
authentically prepared.
We also
offer rehearsal dinners, holiday parties, receptions or ceremonies
only, and family reunions.
Music
Choosing the right sounds for your
wedding can enhance your event considerably. Music helps
create magic. Every event at the 1812 Hitching Post includes
personally coordinated music. Our in-house DJ will plan your
music selections with you via email, phone, or in person.
We can provide microphones and technical support for family or
friends whom you wish to have participate in your ceremony.
We can also help you arrange for live musicians, if you choose.
It's just over an hour to the airports at
Greensboro or Charlotte in North Carolina. We can arrange a
limo from our door to your hotel or destination airport.
Choosing a horse and carriage provided by Classic Carriages is a
popular option at the 1812 Hitching Post. We'll arrange for
your arrival by carriage, departure by carriage, and/or guest
rides. We'll show you a DVD of all the options when you
