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.

The Ballantyne Hotel is such an incredible wedding venue!

The Ballantyne Hotel is such an incredible wedding venue! As a wedding videographer, I really appreciate how convenient it is for the bride, groom, and their families—everything you need is right there in one place, which makes the whole day so smooth and stress-free. The spaces are beautiful, the staff is attentive, and the overall experience for both couples and vendors is top-notch.
I absolutely love filming here and would recommend it to any couple.

My Dream Wedding

From start to finish my wedding at the Ballantyne was a dream come true. It took a bit to time to figure out where we wanted our wedding, they have so many options! My wedding was everything I wanted, the food was great as was the service. My friends and family loved staying at the hotel, we all did a spa day the day before which was perfect.

Beautiful venue and wonderful staff

Jon and I got married here on 10/1 and we cannot thank the Ballantyne and their staff enough for the wonderful experience. They went the extra mile to make sure our day went smoothly and felt special! Highly recommend The Ballantyne.

Awesome Venue!

The Ballantyne Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed how easy they made the whole process and we had an amazing time. What we enjoyed the most was that guests were able to stay on site which made the whole weekend so much fun! All our family and friends were staying in the same resort which made the weekend that much more exciting. All the food was delicious and portion sizes were perfect. Our guests were full of compliments over the cocktail hour and dinner selections! The staff working our wedding were also fantastic, they did an excellent job in ensuring all guests received the proper dinner entrée and were very courteous! If we were to do it all over again, we would still choose Ballantyne for our wedding ceremony and reception! It was an incredible weekend!

The Lodge at Ballantyne was everything I wanted and more!

I decided to have my wedding at The Lodge at Ballantyne. I could not have asked for a more perfect experience! I wanted a weekend retreat that felt personal and intimate, and that is exactly what I got. Our party had the whole Lodge from Friday evening to Sunday morning, which allowed me to slow down and take in the whole experience. The food was beyond incredible and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We booked Hannah as our day-of-coordinator and it was the best decision ever. She is extremely friendly, prompt in her responses, anticipated all of our needs, and was extremely detail oriented. I did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day. I could not be more grateful for the Ballantyne and it's staff. I strongly recommend this venue (and Hannah) to anyone and everyone!

Amazing experience for our Son's wedding weekend!

We recently hosted our family & friends for my son's wedding at the Ballantyne Resort. The wedding took place in Rock Hill, SC which is about 20 minutes south of Ballantyne. Our guests enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, wonderful service, golf, spa and dinning during the weekend at the Ballantyne Resort. Emily Brandewie, our Catering Sales Manager was a joy to work with from the very beginning - always responsive and extremely helpful in getting our family rooms and hospitality suite all set up. I would recommend 100% the Ballantyne Team to make your wedding a dream come true.

Our Indian Wedding Reception at The Ballantyne

The Ballantyne Hotel is obviously a beautiful location, but what really makes this the perfect event venue is the staff. From booking to planning to the day-of staff, we were beyond impressed by how warm, welcoming the staff there handled our wedding planning process.

We worked with Emily in sales and Rebecca in events and have nothing but high praise for both of them! They were such a dream to work with and ensured our 250 person event ran smoothly. They're so good at making sure everything has been thought out logistically and really work with you to make your creative ideas come to life.

Being a food blogger, I was especially excited to get the chance to create a custom food menu with the culinary team. Our guests were excited and delighted by our wedding menu :)

I would HIGHLY recommend The Ballantyne Hotel for your wedding or event!

Rescheduled - PERFECT weekend!

The Lodge at Ballantyne was just simply amazing. The group fit perfectly in the space and we partied the night away! We initially set everything up with Dea, and she was so wonderful to work with as we were trying to schedule quickly, having had cancelled another location due to a hurricane. Then I worked with Natalia and she was simply amazing. Not only was she knowledgeable, but she was fun to be around, and so sweet. I could not have asked for a better team!! The Lodge was just what we were looking for, something intimate where we could have everyone together for the weekend. Thank you Ballantyne!

What could I say to really provide a lasting impact on anyone who reads this? If you are considering the Ballantyne- look NO further. Dee and Allison are the upper echelon of those in their profession, and the southern charm that comes with the Ballantyne is unbeatable. My guests were amazed with the Ballantyne’s top notch organization, the impeccable food and the beautiful ambiance. I couldn’t have asked for more from the Ballantyne (except for maybe more of their amazing food). I cannot wait to for my husband and I to go back and just take it all in! You will not be disappointed with the Ballantyne!
