All In One Place

In an area where most venues only provide the space and maybe tables and chairs, the Carolina Club stands out as an all in one place venue.

As a very busy bride, I did not have the time to manage a ton of contracts and vendors. By going with the Carolina Club I was able to have so much of the work taken care of for me. In addition, when I did the price comparisons, the Carolina Club, as an almost all inclusive venue, was the same if not cheaper than the venues where you bring in everything yourself.

In addition to the venue (which is gorgeous), the Carolina Club has event planners who help you all along the way. They help you understand what tasks you need to do when and what decisions need to be made, even if you would have never thought you had to decide how you wanted your napkin folded :)

After our wedding, I received so many compliments about the Carolina Club and specifically the food. One guest told me it was the best filet mignon they had ever had.

Overall this venue was perfect for this busy bride and our guests had an amazing time in this beautiful space.

Outstanding!

Our experience with The Carolina Club was absolutely wonderful. Every aspect of the planning process was easy with Camille ZarZar. She was excellent at communicating and bringing our vision to life. Her genuine enthusiasm and knowledge for the job was evident in all things. Our reception is something we not only continue to talk about but something our guests continue to talk about. They rave about how amazing the food and drinks were; how warm the staff was; how comfortable the venue was for dancing, socializing, and celebrating. Choosing The Carolina Club was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning. I cannot recommend it (and Camille!) enough.

Highly recommend the Carolina Club

This venue was beautiful, the food was excellent, (even better than we anticipated), and we loved the location, but what truly made the difference was that the event coordinator was extraordinarily responsive, helpful, friendly, and accommodating from the very first visit to the week after the event when we came back to pick up belongings. Working with Camille was like having an additional wedding planner at our fingertips. We couldn't have been more pleased!
