Banquet Hall Wedding Venues in Gastonia

We could not be more thrilled with our experience at Homestead Events at the Loray Mill — it was truly the perfect venue for our wedding. From the stunning natural beauty of the space to the warm, welcoming atmosphere, every inch of this venue felt magical. But what truly set it apart was the incredible staff, especially Stacy, who is nothing short of a miracle worker! From the moment we started working with her, Stacy was right there with us — answering every question, calming every concern, and thinking ten steps ahead at all times. She left nothing unturned. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made the planning process feel so much smoother than we ever imagined. By the time our wedding day rolled around, we didn’t feel stressed or unsure — we felt ready, because we knew Stacy had everything handled. There wasn’t a single moment of second-guessing or worry over the little things. She had already taken care of them. What makes it even more special is that we didn’t just find a venue coordinator — we truly felt like we found a friend in Stacy. Her kindness, patience, and passion for what she does shine through in every interaction. If you're looking for a breathtaking venue with an exceptional team who truly cares about your big day, look no further than Homestead Events at the Loray Mill. I would recommend them a thousand times over. Thank you, Stacy and the entire team, for giving us the day of our dreams!

Our Bible fellowship group of approximately 225 people recently held a three day event here. Everything about our event was handled to perfection. We worked with the director of sales and catering, Ivy Honeycutt. She was extremely accommodating for our specific requests and spent time showing us around their beautiful facility and then helping us design the room setup and our meal planning. Each day of our event, the meals were delicious and way beyond our expectations! The buffet was arranged artfully with polished stainless steel chafing dishes, china plates and cloth-wrapped silverware. The wait staff was very nice and attentive, alway keeping the food filled and removing our plates promptly as each one finished. There was also plenty of good quality tea and coffee. We highly recommend this conference center and we will definitely return!
