Let me start by saying Alexander Homestead is amazing!!! Anyone who gets married at this venue is first of all, lucky to have found an open date/time, and second, is sure to create lasting beautiful memories.

My wife and I originally decided to get married at the courthouse, and then plan a full wedding in a year or so. But, I just couldn’t get over the fact that if we married at the courthouse, my future wife would have to go through a metal detector, and be searched, before exchanging our vows to each other :/. Thus, I decided to secretly find a venue, and plan a small suitable wedding myself (ONLY 10 days before the marriage date!).

When I googled “wedding venues” in charlotte, the first place that came up was Alexander Homestead based on the numerous positive reviews. So, I decided to give them a call.

I immediately was impressed by the knowledge of their representative, as well as how helpful she was. As a result, I ended up scheduling a time to meet at the location that day. To make a long story short, I was blown away by the venue, and the surrounding grounds, and booked the date and time immediately.

From that point, I was assigned a wedding coordinator (Christi) who was extremely helpful, and enthusiastic, given I was groom basically planning a full out surprise wedding for my bride. She helped me come up with design ideas, photographer options, videographer options, cake options, and flower options. It was basically a one stop shop that fulfilled all of my planning needs.

In short, I was tasked with planning a wedding in 10 days, and with the help of the Alexander Homestead staff, I was able to plan, and finalize, an entire AMAZING wedding in just 3 days!!!!

Don’t believe me? Too much for your brain to handle? Check out the video: https://vimeo.com/114666762 (Grab some tissue).

The Alexander Homestead receives my HIGHEST regards, and you’d be lucky to make this the venue where you make a lifetime memory.

Kind Regards,
Loren Smith

Alexander Homestead was awesome. I had a wedding of ~50 people. The place was beautiful. The food was delicious. The staff was professional and made the planning process much easier. There was an unexpected thunderstorm right at my ceremony. They worked very efficiently to move everything indoor. All my guests had a good time.

Alexander Homestead exceeded our expectations!! We had our wedding reception at Homestead and it was BEAUTIFUL! We had a lot of out of town guests, and they could not get over how incredible the venue was.

Right before we got engaged, my parents found Homestead and right after we got engaged they went to the venue (I was living out of town). They face timed me and we loved it SO much that they booked it before I even saw it in person!

They do a wonderful job and accommodated exactly what we wanted to do. Especially considering we had a short engagement (just over 5 months), they made it possible! Everyone says things will always go wrong on your big day, but our day was absolutely perfect--big thanks to Homestead!!
