McAlister-Leftwich House

Two preserved 19th-century mansions in Greensboro's Fisher Park Historic District, joined into one venue — original fireplaces, pocket doors, wide-plank floors. A stately, classic room, and one of downtown's better-kept ceremony backdrops.

The property pairs two carefully restored historic homes with more than 150 years of combined history, tucked in the Fisher Park neighborhood near Proximity Hotel. Original fireplaces and wide-plank wood floors run throughout, with both indoor and landscaped outdoor ceremony options and an indoor backup always available. It seats up to 300 guests, with two private getting-ready suites included.

Period rooms with original wood floors and fireplaces need a gentler touch than an open barn or industrial space, and having two houses on one property means planning for whichever combination of indoor and outdoor spots you've chosen — including a same-day backup plan if the weather doesn't cooperate.
