The best wedding venue in all of Durham!

Royal Ashburn Golf Club is the best wedding venue in all of Durham! My husband and I had our wedding there in Sept 2024 - leading up to the wedding, our wedding coordinator Sowmya went above and beyond to quickly answer any and all of our questions and requests including making sure the sky-lights were cleaned and the railing of the outdoor stairs were freshly painted! Their outdoor ceremony spaces are absolutely stunning. It did unfortunately rain on our wedding day but Sowmya made sure we didn't stress in the slightest and had the ceremony set up in one of their indoor locations which ended up looking absolutely beautiful and felt so intimate considering we had over 170 guests! The entire staff at Royal Ashburn made sure that my husband and I didn't have to lift a finger on the day of our wedding - making sure all our vendors were in the right place, helping guide the groomsmen on where to usher people, assisting our bridal party with their walk down the aisle, making sure we were fed and hydrated throughout the day and kept ON TIME with all the events of the day so I didn't have to worry. They even made sure to remind us about sunset photos during dinner service so we didn't miss out on golden hour! Everyone boasted about how delicious their meals were and that they were all served hot, there were no awkward delays in dinner service and they also were amazing at substituting for food allergies as we had quite a few guests with gluten allergies. One of the waitstaff even asked one of our guests that had a gluten and dairy allergy if they had tried the carrot cake from the dessert table (which was gluten and lactose free) and when our guest said no, the waitstaff hand delivered a slice to her and the guest said it was delicious! This just goes to show you that the entire team goes above and beyond and cares about all the little details which, as a detail oriented person, is such a relief when you're planning and organizing a huge event like a wedding.

We also had our rehearsal dinner at their restaurant Farm and Founder the day before the wedding and they went above and beyond for this as well. The food was excellent and they even did custom off-menu cheesy garlic bread for the kiddos! If you are considering Royal Ashburn for your wedding venue then look no further - the venue is absolutely perfect in everyway. The team at Royal Ashburn will take the absolute best care of you, your spouse-to-be and all of your wonderful guests.

Best day of our lives

We had the best wedding day, literally the best day of our lives. Shout out to Shweta and Janene for dealing with my endless emails. Our original venue coordinator left the venue and once Shweta was on board she handled our wedding so effortlessly. From daily emails to the day of we were in good hands. The grounds are beautiful and we got the best photos! Ill attach one! Food was great, guests loved it! Highly recommend :)

A Common Thread Amongst Reviews Here

If you do a CTRL+F search while looking through the reviews of the Royal Ashburn on here, there's one word that comes up more than any other: "Sowmya". And for very good reasons.

We didn't look at reviews too closely when selecting a venue, we toured a dozen or so local ones, however. We immediately fell in love with the Compton Room and the solarium. We got lucky that Sowmya was working that day.

We planned our wedding for over two years, and in that time Sowmya answered every email and every question we had, often within minutes or hours. The day of our event, December 7th, 2024, we couldn't have asked for a more attentive and thoughtful coordinator throughout the day's events. In fact, we want to shout out all the staff from those serving dinner, pouring drinks and cooking up one of the best meals we've had anywhere. Everything was flawless, even the weather!

Best Wedding Venue

We picked Royal Ashburn Golf Club for our venue simply because we were hooked the minute we stepped foot during the Spring Wedding Show. Sowmya was a warm and welcoming host and my fiancé and I are so glad she was our wedding day coordinator! From the very first email, Sowmya was always there for us and answered all the questions we had. We chose the Cedar Garden and Compton Hall as our wedding day spaces for our September 21st wedding day. Everything was perfect, the Cedar garden is your perfect spot for an outdoor wedding and the Compton Hall’s solarium is truly the icing on top! Sowmya ensured that everything went smoothly on the day of our wedding and we were able to pull off a very successful wedding all thanks to her and the wonderful staff at Royal Ashburn. We were hosting a mixed wedding (Indian and North American) and food was a big priority for us. From the menu tasting for the North American food to a special tasting for the South Asian food, Sowmya made sure we were 100% satisfied with everything and on the day off, the staff pulled of the most seamless wedding buffet that our families couldn’t stop raving about. If you want a professional, kind, and caring venue, then Royal Ashburn should be on top of your list!

Wonderful Venue

Highly recommend the venue to anyone looking to get married and hosting an event. We had our wedding at The Royal Ashburn and could not be any more happier for how everything turned out. The event planners Shweta and Sowmya were very professional and reliable. The guests complimented the meals the venue offers, with many scenic locations for photos. Those looking to plan a wedding here will be extremely pleased with the end result.

Perfect!!!

Where to begin. Royal Ashburn Golf Club was so amazing to work with, from the day we booked our tour to the day of our wedding. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and went out of their way to help us with every single detail of the day. Sowmya as our venue coordinator went above and beyond helping us, and ensured our day went absolutely perfectly. From the ceremony space, the grounds, reception space and sun room, it was absolutely beautiful. The food was amazing, and service staff were attentive and friendly. I absolutely recommend Royal Ashburn as a place to get married. A perfect one stop shop; ceremony space, cocktail hour area, photo opportunities, and massive reception space to comfortably fit all guests.

Laane Wedding

We just had our wedding here this past weekend and it was magical! The whole process from start to finish was so easy and enjoyable. We started with a coordinator who ended up leaving but Shweta stepped in seamlessly and made the transition unnoticeable. She was organized, caring and helped a ton when things maybe didn't go as planned. A big shout to Mike also who has amazing customer service skills and really went above and beyond for both me and my husband. Great food, great landscape, and great staff. Highly recommend for weddings ... hubby says the golf course is great as well!

Beautiful venue and amazing staff

The Royal Ashburn was incredible. The grounds were gorgeous, we got lovely photos. We had our ceremony in the Cedar garden and our reception in the Compton room. The staff was amazing. Sownya, our coordinator was so sweet, kind and helpful. She kept me well fed and hydrated the whole day. They were on top of everything and made sure our day went smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything.
They had very decent pricing and were very accommodating. We're hoping to celebrate our anniversary there next year.

Best Wedding Venue

My husband and I got married at the Royal Ashburn on June 15, 2024. The Royal Ashburn is a fantastic venue to get married at, we had our ceremony in the Cedar gardens and our reception in the Compton Room. From the rolling greens and gorgeous views to the beautiful reception rooms, you can't go wrong. The food is amazing, the staff is great, our venue coordinator Sowmya was truly the star in making the wedding day a stress free and fun experience.


From the initial consultation and viewing to the last minute on our wedding night, Sowmya was available to answer my many many questions (within hours of me emailing her) and to help our wedding vision come to life.
Sowmya went far above and beyond what I expected from our venue coordinator. Her energy is so positive and she’s always got a smile on her face. She was there to guide us through the ceremony, and then was with us throughout the cocktail and reception to make sure we were hydrated and fed. I cannot thank her enough.

Now for the photos - there are SO MANY amazing photo spots on this golf course. We have the most incredible photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Thank you to all the staff at the Royal Ashburn for making our wedding day amazing, and a special thanks to Sowmya for being by our side every step of the way.

Best Day Of Our Lives!

The Royal Ashburn was amazing at everything they did and provided. The absolute highlight was the thought and patience they put in for our day. The forecast called for rain all day and was forecasted to stop at the start of our reception. This would have definitely lead us to hold the ceremony indoors -- but Sowmya & the staff at Ashburn kept a close eye on the forecast and updated us every so often with any potential good news. It was awesome to hear from Ashburn that the rain was letting up 2 hours before the ceremony and that we were given the green light to go ahead and continue with the outdoor ceremony. While my husband and I were doing our first look, the Ashburn staff, with the help of our florist, were quick to set up everything in such a short window, and made cedar gardens look absolutely stunning. Our guests weren't even kept waiting for a second, nor would they have known that it had rained in the morning, as the grass had dried up so quick. The flexibility Ashburn gave us in allowing us to wait out the morning and not force us to make the call the night before, or at 9AM was so appreciated, and made our day feel so personalized which showed how much Ashburn cares about their couples.
Everything after that was just perfect. Ashburn took care of us the whole way through and managed everything with experience and professionalism. We had glowing reviews from all our guests after the day about how amazing the day was, as well as how amazing the staff were.
Ashburn was also great to work with throughout the process. They were happy to answer all our questions during a year of planning and walked through things we hadn't thought to ask. A huge thanks goes out to Sowmya, our coordinator, for all her hard work! You made our day unforgettable in all the best ways possible. Thank you!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
