Our dream wedding

I cannot say enough about Grace Wedding and Event Center!! I knew from the moment I walked inside the venue to meeting the owner, Carlyn, that this was where I wanted to get married. From the beginning, Carlyn was so welcoming and personable. I felt as if I was talking to a friend. She is truly one of a kind and goes above and beyond to give you the wedding of your dreams.
Not only was the venue affordable but this is definitely a one stop shop! There was tons of decorations to choose from to help take that stress off of planning and everything is simply beautiful!! Our guest loved the food, the bar and staff service, and that everything was in one place. We had a fairly large wedding (150+) and Carlyn and her staff were able to handle it with ease! Everything was simply beautiful and elegant. I could go on and on but this place is truly a gem and you will not be disappointed to have your wedding here.

Absolutely LOVED Grace Wedding & Event Center!!

I have attended 4 weddings at both Grace Wedding & Event Center locations! 3 at their Statesville location and 1 at their Gastonia location. I got married at the Statesville location back in Sept 2021. I will always recommend this venue to any couples looking to get married. The venue is so beautiful - very classy & elegant with all the chandeliers and white drapes. They provide all the decorations + set up/break down. All you have to do is show up & get married! The owner, Carlyn, goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for your day! She also let me take my bridals at their Gastonia location. The venue provides catering - delish! We had so many compliments of our meal! I could go on and on about this venue & the staff! Love everything about Grace Wedding & Events Center ❤️

Amazing venue and staff

First time I walked into Grace (after visiting many venues) I knew it was my dream venue. After talking with Carlyn I was definitely sold on this location. Carlyn and the staff made my wedding stress free and kept my mind at ease. The venue is beautiful and the food was delicious. If you want a beautiful and stress free wedding, Grace is definitely the place for you.

This place is awesome

I was the DJ for a wedding on 5/18/19, it was beautiful. This full service venue offered uplighting, a custom monogram gobo, catering and a Full bar! talk about one stop shop, this beautiful venue is just a short drive outside of Charlotte and is now one of my favorites. A bride couldn't go wrong by selecting this beautiful venue.

The first time I walked into Grace I knew it was the place. Then once I met Carlyn everything was confirmed. She is so such a sweet soul. She has a heart for people and she loves what she does. Grace and the staff takes a lot of stress off the bride. It’s a one stop shop. All the decorations you could ever dream of at your fingertips without an additional cost. If you get “anxious” - Caryln is a phone call or text away and after you speak to her, all your anxiety will cease. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. She will make your day everything you dreamed and more without going in debt!

To say it was a great experience is an understatement. The place is gorgeous, the staff is terrific, the food - amazing. My guests think we spent a small fortune for the wedding of our dreams but we didn’t. They have have so many options available and keep your budget in mind. Not to mention they were the most affordable venue I checked into. They have truly made it easy for the bride. Lots of decor onsite to choose from at no extra cost. Mix and match with your own to truly make it unique. Set up and clean up is included in the price. And let me talk about the food. My guests raved about how delicious it was. If you want a professional and awesome experience then definitely go with these guys. You won’t be disappointed.
