About this venue

The Morehead Inn is a historic wedding venue nestled in the picturesque Dilworth neighborhood of Charlotte, NC. The estate was built in 1917 by London architect William Peeps for C.C. Coddington, who brought the first Buick south of the Mason-Dixon line. Now a renovated boutique hotel as well as an event space, the manor combines retro charm with modern comfort. It welcomes couples through its splendid doors to celebrate their romantic day, surrounded by Southern hospitality.

For your ceremony and reception, you will have access to The Morehead Inn’s distinct event spaces. Exchange your vows in the secluded courtyard or gardens, or take advantage of the tastefully-furnished indoor locations and sweeping staircase. These include the Tea Room, Library, Main Floor, and the Front Patio. Each of these rooms features breathtaking chandeliers, antique furniture, intimate fireplaces, and elegant vintage accents. The property also comes with twelve luxurious overnight accommodations where you and your guests can relax and rejuvenate over the wedding weekend. These suites boast four-poster beds, eco-friendly amenities, WiFi, cable tv, plush robes, and linens.

We work with Something Classic as the exclusive providers of all catering, bar, and rental needs. We will work with you to create a completely customized experience, as we believe your wedding day should reflect your unique love story! We will build a custom menu, layout, and experience for you and your guests. Each wedding hosted with us includes access to our inventory of tables and chairs, as well as beautiful china, glassware, and utensils for your place settings. Our venue host will assist you every step of the way to ensure your day is everything you are dreaming!

Wedding at The Morehead Inn

We cannot recommend The Morehead Inn enough for a wedding or special event! From the very beginning, the planning process was incredibly easy, and the team made everything we envisioned come to life. A special thank you to Brooke, whose excitement, responsiveness, and guidance were a huge part of why we chose this venue. She was wonderful to work with and helped bring our vision together seamlessly.
One of the biggest advantages of choosing Morehead Inn is how seamless they make the wedding planning process. Their catering partner, Something Classic, was absolutely amazing, and the bartenders and event staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They also make day-of rentals, such as linens and other event details, incredibly convenient, which took so much stress out of planning.
The venue itself is also absolutely stunning. We knew from the moment we walked through the doors that it was something special. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the greenery provides the perfect backdrop for a wedding.
Having our family stay at the inn was such a convenient and memorable part of the experience. Everyone loved their rooms and said they felt like royalty. On the wedding day, we had over 30 people getting ready on-site, and the staff was incredibly accommodating to every need. We felt so welcomed and cared for throughout the entire weekend. We especially want to recognize Hannah for her help with check-in and day-of support.
The delicious breakfasts each morning were another highlight and truly added to the overall wedding weekend experience. Every detail exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful we chose Morehead Inn for our special day.

Baby Brunch

The Morehead Inn did an excellent job for our recent brunch. Brooke made great recommendations, communicated well and made sure every detail was covered in advance. Carol, Mary and Diamond executed beautifully the day of ensuring that the room was beautiful, the food was excellent and the service exemplary. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, Quiet venue in heart of Charlotte

We had our wedding this month at the Morehead Inn, and it was such a dream. Logistically for us, it was so convenient because it's in the center of Charlotte - so easy for traveling guests via airport, and about a 5 min drive from where we live. It's not at all busy like you'd expect, but quiet and tucked away from the city.

It's unique, and is exactly what I wanted in terms of not having a rustic barn wedding, and it really only needed minimal decor as everything there was so ornate and full of character. They offer the unique opportunity to rent the entire Inn for the weekend to really take advantage of spending time with family and bridal party leading up to the wedding. We LOVED this.

The staff is lovely, and so helpful. Brooke Parker works as the event director there, and was there to help us with all our logistical questions and catering/rental questions. She is AMAZING. So kind, and obviously really enjoys her job there. She was attentive and together with my coordinators, they made a dream team in making my vision come to life.

Something that I didn't really consider as I first started my search for venues was what is offered along with just the basics of a venue. The Inn has a catering service - Something Classic, that they work with exclusively, as well as a bartending service. This may be an annoyance to some brides but I found it extremely helpful because it eliminated my searching for extra vendors. Both vendors were amazing, and the catering was actually delicious. I really could go on and on but to keep it short, I can't reccomend the Morehead Inn enough as a wedding venue. You will not be disappointed!

Perfect Wedding Venue!

The Morehead Inn was the PERFECT venue for our wedding!! I cannot say enough great things - As we had a smaller guest count and were looking for an already beautiful space that didn't need much decor, this place instantly caught our eye. We also loved that the Inn was located in such a central location! Our favorite thing was that we were able to stay on location with immediate family & friends, which made a world of a difference especially on our wedding day!

The venue and events director Brooke was absolutely amazing, and we cannot thank her enough for everything she did to help make sure our wedding day was perfect! The service during the wedding was also great! Honestly no complaints & if you are looking for a beautiful venue with great service - you must check out the Morehead :)

Incredible! Beautiful Wedding

Our wedding weekend at the Morehead Inn was magic! We secured the entire 12 rooms at the Inn for Friday night through Sunday which gave our immediate family members a chance to leisurely visit in a quality way. It was like having a huge house all to ourselves through the entire weekend.

The atmosphere, food, service, and support were stellar. From the planning phase through execution, Brooke exceeded expectations in every way. She was available, responsive, patient and an absolute gem to work with. Matthew, Sarah and all the support staff at the Inn were attentive to our every need. The wait staff at the reception dinner were so professional and we had many compliments on the food which was fantastic- very rare at weddings.

From the Welcome Party on the patio on Friday evening, rehearsal dinner in the private dining room, the ceremony at the fireplace, to the cocktail hour on the patio off of the tearoom-- the Inn accommodated our needs perfectly. Our first look was in the gorgeous library. The character of the Morehead is beautiful, but the grand staircase for the bridal and newlywed entry truly enhanced our event.

We had 57 people at the wedding which was the perfect size for the inside ceremony and dinner (we didn't want to rely on the weather for an outside event). The Morehead is masterful at flipping the room with no problems whatsoever. I was concerned about the dance floor being separate from the dining area, but it actually gave guests a place to relax and get a break from the music. We chose a checkerboard dance floor with a beautiful Montgomery bar which enhanced the architectural details of the Inn.

If you want a gorgeous, classic, intimate, southern venue full of character- then the Morehead Inn is your place. Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful event. Thank you Morehead Inn!

Incredible experience, highly recommend!

We recently had our 60-person wedding at the Morehead Inn, and the exprience was nothing short of incredible! The entire planning experience with the Inn was easy and stress-free thanks to the Brooke with the MHI. Brooke is responsive, attentive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her and the team at the MHI made our wedding day as smooth as possible, and even executed a flip inside the main room during the night for our dinner. The Inn itself is stunning, and we received so many compliments on the building, catering team, and rentals that were coordinated with the Inn. If you are looking for a venue of this size, we HIGHLY recommend the Morehead Inn!

We recently had our 60-person wedding at the Morehead Inn and have nothing but amazing things to say about it. First off, Brooke - their events director - is incredible at her job and a lovely person to work with. We had no worries about the day thanks to her and the Morehead team and the venue was unbelievably beautiful and well prepared for our event and guests. We’re so happy we chose the Morehead Inn for our wedding.
