Why we chose Cary & The Mayton
We put a lot of thought into where we wanted to get married because we know that half the fun of a wedding weekend is getting to explore, relax, and hang out where you’re staying.
We didn’t just want a beautiful venue – we wanted the whole experience to be amazing from start to finish. That’s why we chose to stay at an incredible hotel right in the heart of Downtown Cary, and we hope you’ll stay and explore with us!
The Mayton is right next to an incredible park with plenty of spots to sit, sip, and stroll, and it’s walking distance to some of the best restaurants, bars, and local gems in the area. We hope you’ll love it as much as we do!
