Excellent Experience with Founders Hall!

We can't say enough great things about Founders Hall!!! We chose this venue for our wedding reception, partially because of how breathtaking the space is (the high ceiling with uplighting at night and marble floors are just gorgeous!), and partially because they were the largest space in uptown Charlotte that could accommodate our 250 guest count! We were so impressed with Jenny and Mariah's responsiveness, hard work, and attention to detail in every step of the planning process (even down to the littlest details, like choosing the perfect colored table linens and pipe and drape). We were also pleased with how much we were able to get for our money with this venue - they included a lot of rentals in their base price, which several other venues did not offer to do.

The event itself was exactly the way we wanted it to be! We loved the food provided by Aria (Founders Hall's exclusive event caterer) and all of the service staff were kind and efficient as well. We would absolutely recommend this classic Charlotte venue to anyone looking to host a big, fun event with a classy uptown vibe - you won't be disappointed by Founders Hall!

Perfect Wedding Day

Choosing to have our wedding at Founders Hall was the best decision my husband and I made when planning our wedding. The space is breathtaking and seeing it all come together the day of the wedding was a fairytale for me. Jenny was our contact throughout the process - she was quick to respond and very accommodating to my husband and I, as well as to my in-laws. She even threw in the ivory drapes for us (we had booked before these were included) after having some last-minute cancellations, and this made the evening so much more beautiful and elegant. Mariah was there the day of the wedding to ensure everything went smoothly and did a fantastic job. The venue was priced very reasonably for its location in the heart of the city and its beauty. The food at Aria was spectacular and people are still commenting 3 weeks later about how good their meals were. We are so grateful to the Aria at Founders Hall staff for making our wedding the best day of our entire lives. Founders Hall will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we will be back to visit often. The photos are also so incredible in this space!

Founders Hall + Best Impressions Made My Wedding Dreams Come True!

Being a bride-to-be is stressful enough but throw in a global pandemic and the stress level triples. I am forever grateful for Abby Schwab, Founders Hall, and Best Impressions Catering for making my dream wedding come to life amidst the chaos.

Once we toured Founders Hall, I knew that no other venue would compare for our New Years Eve wedding. It is a stunning venue with little to no decorations needed as this event space comes to life on its own.

Abby was truly a dream to work with. She was incredibly responsive, attentive, and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or event.

The Best Impressions team was amazing from beginning to end. The food was spectacular and I kid you not, one of the servers was waiting at the door with hors d'eourves and drinks for my husband and I when we returned from taking pictures. They were so attentive and helpful, I was blown away.

If you're considering booking this venue for your upcoming wedding or event, I cannot recommend the team enough. You will not regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
