Perfect Venue For Our Rehearsal Party

Brittany and the entire staff at Foundation For The Carolinas made our son's rehearsal party a truly special event.
Brittany was with us every step of the way, from initial visit to help with packing up after the event.
The location, ambiance and suggestions during planning were spot on and helped to alleviate the logisitcs of planning a wedding party for out of town guests.
In one word...PERFECT!

So incredibly beautiful!

I recently hosted a workshop for professional event producers and obviously needed a space to impress. 220 North Tryon was absolutely the spot. Not only is it stunning (those windows! that light!!), the staff was so lovely to work with. Everything went as planned, my guests loved the space, and the images turned out so beautifully. Thank you so much for the service with a smile!

Beautiful, Unique Venue

We are so happy we had our wedding here! It is an absolutely beautiful venue and so many of our guests commented on that. The lighting was perfect, and the size of the venue suited the size of our party perfectly.

Natural Light and City Viewa

This venue is perfect for those wanting natural light without being outside and beautiful city views. This venue was perfect for the wedding style we envisioned because we got to have the beautiful natural light for our ceremony and partial reception. Then, some of our reception was able to be at night and we had the beautiful city lit up at night. The staff is very professional. Only complaint is the contract for the venue is a little vague on the dos and do nots. So, please inquire. Other than that I would recommend anyone have their wedding here.

As a wedding planner, and bride, I can say this venue is the best.

This is the most exquisite wedding venue tucked into the heart of Uptown, Charlotte! Different from other venues in the area, it offers multiple unique spaces within the building - each more beautiful than the next. During our cocktail hour, guests walked into the first-floor gallery, with its stunning art features, before heading to the fourth floor to the main ballroom which has a fantastic view of the city! The best part of the event was partnering with FFTC's Special Event Manager, Brittany Brathwaite, who was extremely consulted throughout the entire planning process.

Wedding at Foundation for the Carolinas 5.7.2022

You cannot go wrong with picking Foundation for the Carolinas for your wedding! First, the venue is absolutely stunning with multiple balconies over looking the city, a beautiful plant wall and floor to ceiling windows in the Solarium space. Second, the convenience cannot be beat - this is 10-15 minutes from the airport or a 5-10 minute walk from a light rail stop. Additionally, there are so many hotels within a quick walk which make this an ideal location for all guests. Finally, the staff at Foundations is absolutely fantastic. Brittany made our day run so smoothly and provided levity in stressful and emotional moments. She was also extremely responsive and provided great pieces of advice for our layout. Zerena was also helpful in the early planning stages as well. Once again, picking Foundations is a no brainer for a beautiful, convenient and well-run wedding in Uptown Charlotte.

No words... it was perfect!

This was the dreamiest location for my wedding reception! Every single room/patio of this venue was unique and stunning. Kayla and her crew took care of every last detail, making it so special for me, my husband, and my family. I wish I could do it all over again, and I wouldn't change a thing!! Thank you so much!
