Heart of NC Weddings has partnered with LM Restaurants, the Raleigh-based, family-owned hospitality company behind Vidrio, to give you an inside look at each of its unique spaces, from its stylish Mezzanine to the spacious Main Banquet Room.
Wedding Celebrations at Vidrio in Downtown Raleigh
Vidrio is a sought-after downtown Raleigh event venue thanks to its colorful, eclectic decor and fantastic food and drink offerings. There are three primary event spaces that can each accommodate at least 65 standing guests, ideal for a mid-sized gathering. The entire second floor, complete with a bridal suite, can be reserved as the perfect downtown location for wedding ceremonies followed by a seamless reception. Additionally, the Library Room on the ground floor is a cozy setting for a rehearsal dinner or intimate celebration.
Reserving any space at Vidrio only requires a food and drink minimum rather than a traditional venue fee – plus linens, glassware, china and flatware are all provided!
Main Banquet Room
This primary second-floor event space is perfect for ceremonies of up to 120 guests, and receptions or rehearsal dinners of up to 80 seated or 125 standing. Its modern fireplace, textured walls and floor-to-ceiling art installation elevate the space to something both sophisticated and unforgettable. The wall of windows overlooking Vidrio’s ground-floor dining room can be closed to ensure privacy, or it can be opened to allow the joyous hum of conversation from the restaurant to float in.
Fiera Bar & Lounge
This eclectic bar and lounge offers a fun, lively atmosphere, with room for 50 seated guests or 75 standing. Its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking downtown Raleigh’s Glenwood South can be opened to give the illusion of an open-air cocktail hour. The unique lounge also serves as a romantic space for after-dinner dancing, complete with a fully-stocked bar.
Mezzanine
Vidrio’s Mezzanine, available as an add-on to the Main Banquet Room or Fiera Bar & Lounge, is one of Raleigh’s most colorful and memorable event spaces, featuring patterned tile floors, stone sculptures and offering unmatched views of the ground floor’s colorful blown-glass wall, as well as several other collaborative art installations by local creatives. The space can accommodate 40 seated guests or 65 standing, perfect for both cocktail hour and reception.
In-House Brunch & Wedding Catering at Vidrio
After the ceremony and reception wrap up, treat your guests to delicious brunch before they depart – decadent bites like pistachio baklava French toast and Moroccan beef sliders, plus classic cocktails like mimosas and bloody marys round out Vidrio’s weekend brunch menu.
“It’s not your typical brunch,” says LM Restaurants President Amber Moshakos.“It’s bold Mediterranean flavors, great cocktails and an energetic atmosphere designed to bring people together.”
Vidrio’s one-of-a-kind atmosphere and convenient on-site catering make for an ideal all-in-one experience. The venue’s catering team offers a variety of flavorful options, from passed hors d’oeuvres, family-style meals, chef stations and seasonal displays to customizable bar packages, allowing couples to personalize the culinary experience. Vidrio’s Mediterranean cuisine – think hearth-roasted salmon and braised bone-in lamb shank – is beloved by both regular patrons and wedding guests alike.
