This is the easy button!

Working with Danielle and the Alexander Homestead team made planning for a large event relatively simple. The team had vendor recommendations, checklists for decisions to make with simple “multiple choice” options so not to overwhelm me or the set-up team, and several free in-house rental items we could use for signage/décor.

The weekend of the wedding, Danielle was an incredible resource for set up, directing family members, keeping everyone hydrated, and overall keeping the day running smoothly. She coordinated the catering, beverage, and outside vendor teams with confidence and ease, so I never felt like I was having to check in on anyone.

The gardens were beautiful and well-maintained year-round, we were very relieved the weather cooperated for our big day so all the guests could enjoy the full space AH provided. Our guests had a great time and appreciated the flexibility to be inside or outside during the reception.

As far as flexibility on the planning front, my advice to brides is to be aware of what is included and what is provided at an additional cost. Overall we had a great experience with AH and would recommend them.

Look no further....

If I could give Alexander Homestead more than five stars, I would gift-wrap them in gold and hand-deliver them back to the team. ⭐️

From the very first planning meeting to the last dance of the night, we felt genuinely cared for. As two busy working professionals, the structure and support from Wedgewood Weddings & Events made our planning process feel manageable and bite-sized instead of overwhelming. Every step was organized, clear, and thoughtful. It allowed us to actually enjoy being engaged instead of drowning in spreadsheets.

Sarah, Virginia, and Savannah were phenomenal. Truly. They anticipated needs before we even voiced them, answered every question with patience, and made us feel like our wedding was the only one that mattered. On the day of, Savannah in particular took such intentional care of both me and Kevin. She checked in constantly, kept things flowing seamlessly, and made sure we were present instead of stressed.

As chefs and hotel people, service is everything to us. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The team followed our directions perfectly, respected our vision, and executed it beautifully. A moment that meant the world to us was watching the service staff go above and beyond to help my autistic nephew find something “safe” to eat during dinner. That kindness and awareness is not something you can train into people. It’s heart.

We also loved the intentional use of small businesses throughout the process. You can feel that Alexander Homestead values community and craftsmanship, and that matters.

Our day felt seamless, warm, and deeply cared for from start to finish. We walked away not just married, but genuinely grateful.

If you’re considering this venue, stop looking. You’ve found it. 💛

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Detail-Oriented!

Alexander Homestead is amazing. Their in-house planner and coordinator (Carolann) is incredible. They were receptive and respectful of our (many) requests and questions and guided us through the planning process seamlessly. They executed everything flawlessly on the big day and handled every detail, allowing us to truly enjoy our celebration. If you're looking for a stunning venue and an amazing planning experience, this is the place to be!

Best all-inclusive venue!

Alexander Homestead is the perfect all-inclusive venue. From the amazing staff to the beautiful venue, putting it all together for your big day. Being able to pick and choose from a list of venues within the area that all try to give you the best pricing around, one of the biggest blessings. As a planner, it was so nice to have someone always there to answer any questions I had, understand what I was trying to find or do and helping make sure it all looked perfect the day of the wedding. Being able to enjoy the day you spend so much time planning, plus it goes by so fast, you want to be able to enjoy and not have to do a thing. Carolann & Danielle were THE BEST! August 31, 2024 was one for the book & we can’t recommend a better venue.

Perfect summer wedding reception venue

As a couple planning our wedding from out of state, we were looking for a venue that could really help us plan our wedding. The all-inclusive options from Alexander Homestead made our wedding planning so much easier. The team is quick to respond, and we always felt that we could ask even the most basic questions. Danielle was our day-of-coordinator, and she helped make sure that the whole day went perfectly. Some highlights: the garden was absolutely beautiful during the summer, the food was better than most other weddings we've been to, and their in-house and recommended vendors were better than we could have imagined. All in all, we would definitely recommend Alexander Homestead to anyone looking for a beautiful venue in the heart of Charlotte!! We had the perfect wedding reception

Picture Perfect Wedding in 2024

Alexander Homestead was the perfect wedding venue. I've passed by the main home seen from Sharon Amity all of my life and never knew one of Charlotte's best kept secret wedding venues was right in its backyard. After scheduling a tour and meeting the wonderful staff, we were blown away by the property and people. AH provides an in-service wedding planner, which was one of best things about booking them. Carolann and Danielle were incredible, provided us email/text reminders when milestones approached, and gave us confidence knowing we were going to be in great hands. They were fantastic to work with.
AH also provided in-house vendors, which was convenient. While you could choose to use an outside vendor (for a fee), we ended up going with almost all of their in-house vendors and services, because they were cost-effective and provided great service. From the DJ, Flowers, and the officiant, they were all awesome to work with.
On the wedding day itself, the wedding planners/staff made sure everything ran smoothly, and we can definitely say we were able to just enjoy our wedding day and not worry due to the amazing staff.
The property and venue is so scenic, from the gazebo and the main garden area to the barn yard/reception area, it made our wedding day so picturesque. Couldn't have asked for a better day.
We can't recommend Alexander Homestead enough for your wedding venue needs. 5/5

The Most Beautiful Historic Home Venue

I wish I could leave ten stars.

I had the pleasure of taking photos for a March wedding. The weather was dicey and it misted ALL day, but the bride was determined to have an outside wedding. So the staff was prepared with umbrellas and towels to dry the seats. The rain stopped JUST in time.

The venue itself is gorgeous (and I was so excited to see tulips blooming). Their lead planner, Carolanne, was so friendly and professional and made sure that not only the bride, groom, their family and guests were taken care of but also checked in on me several times to make sure I didn’t need anything.

She made sure I was served lunch (and their in house catering made an AMAZING breakfast buffet - I’ve never had better shrimp and grits even on the coast) and the staff checked in on me while I was eating to make sure I was taken care of. I can promise you a venue who takes care of other vendors takes care of their clients even better.

The venue and lead planned were also in on a BIG surprise for the bride and we stayed in contact all day to pull it off seamlessly.

I can not say enough good things about the venue itself - from the gorgeous bridal suite and the cool and comfortable grooms cabin that allowed both the bride and groom to get ready with room for their friends to hang out to the absolutely stunning property.

Every staff member was polite and friendly. Their lead planner is an absolute pro (and had a timeline that flowed perfectly even with a last minute surprise from The Clemson Tiger and dicey weather).

11/10 recommend and I would absolutely get married here myself. I hope to be back soon. As nice as it was - it’s also incredibly photogenic! Win win in wedding photography world.


PS - you have to see the surprise the planner helped the mom pull off for the bride;

From a Mother’s perspective

I can’t say enough of what a wonderful venue AH is!!!!
Our son and daughter in law were married at Alexander Homestead in October. They made most of the plans and though we were involved in the ceremony and reception, we were not so much involved in planning. However we were amazed how well everything ran. AH staff was completely “on it”… every detail completely tended to with an exceptional coordinator!! Thousand stars for this place !!!
(Also we were guests just 3 weeks later and same… it was amazing … from food to DJ to set up etc. we had a blast )

A beautiful experience

We recently got married at Alexander Homestead November 4th and honestly, the process couldn’t have been easier. This is definitely a place to go if you don’t want to hire a wedding planner because they’ve got it covered. That being said, they do give you the option to make it your own as much as possible so you don’t feel like you’ve got a cookie cutter wedding. The staff also goes above and beyond to make sure you feel heard and reassured. As much of a ball of nerves I was, I had ALOT of questions and our coordinator, Danielle, answered all of them… probably twice lol. The venue is stunning and it can accommodate both large and small weddings. lastly, they are open and honest about pricing from the very beginning. There was never any surprise costs at the end. We knew all the costs (including tax) from the initial appointment with the venue. I highly recommend this place to any couple who wants easy wedding planning. They’ve got a perfect location in the city, amazing staff, and Beautiful venue!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
