Best Day Ever

We had our wedding at the Ballantyne and it was absolutely phenomenal. The venue is gorgeous, the staff is kind, and Claudia Long made the event planning process easy and fun! We truly had the best day and would do it over and over again if we could.

I am still in awe of the incredible service my family and I received from Dee Wood, Ashley Faulkenberry and the entire staff at The Ballantyne Hotel!! My wedding was beyond exceptional! No question went unanswered, no concern went unaddressed and no request was unmet!!! From the delicious menu to our stay, anything we requested, Ashley made sure we got it!! Ashley even fixed my wedding dress bustle before the reception!!! There is no better venue than The Ballantyne Hotel! The food was phenomenal and prepared to perfection and our honeymoon suite was decorated with roses and included wine, chocolate covered strawberries and the sweetest, congratulatory note! It was truly a dream come true!!

This hotel was stunning! From the minute we walked in, we knew this was the venue for us. The staff, the grounds, the entire hotel was just picture perfect! Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. Truly, hospitality at its finest. The BEST Event Manager to work with was Alli Hall as she was always there to answer any questions and guides us through the entire process of planning a wedding. Everything was beautiful and I couldn't have been happier with choosing the Ballantyne to host my most memorable day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
