Alexander Homestead was the perfect wedding venue. I've passed by the main home seen from Sharon Amity all of my life and never knew one of Charlotte's best kept secret wedding venues was right in its backyard. After scheduling a tour and meeting the wonderful staff, we were blown away by the property and people. AH provides an in-service wedding planner, which was one of best things about booking them. Carolann and Danielle were incredible, provided us email/text reminders when milestones approached, and gave us confidence knowing we were going to be in great hands. They were fantastic to work with.
AH also provided in-house vendors, which was convenient. While you could choose to use an outside vendor (for a fee), we ended up going with almost all of their in-house vendors and services, because they were cost-effective and provided great service. From the DJ, Flowers, and the officiant, they were all awesome to work with.
On the wedding day itself, the wedding planners/staff made sure everything ran smoothly, and we can definitely say we were able to just enjoy our wedding day and not worry due to the amazing staff.
The property and venue is so scenic, from the gazebo and the main garden area to the barn yard/reception area, it made our wedding day so picturesque. Couldn't have asked for a better day.
We can't recommend Alexander Homestead enough for your wedding venue needs. 5/5 -

The Most Beautiful Historic Home Venue
I wish I could leave ten stars.
I had the pleasure of taking photos for a March wedding. The weather was dicey and it misted ALL day, but the bride was determined to have an outside wedding. So the staff was prepared with umbrellas and towels to dry the seats. The rain stopped JUST in time.
The venue itself is gorgeous (and I was so excited to see tulips blooming). Their lead planner, Carolanne, was so friendly and professional and made sure that not only the bride, groom, their family and guests were taken care of but also checked in on me several times to make sure I didn’t need anything.
She made sure I was served lunch (and their in house catering made an AMAZING breakfast buffet - I’ve never had better shrimp and grits even on the coast) and the staff checked in on me while I was eating to make sure I was taken care of. I can promise you a venue who takes care of other vendors takes care of their clients even better.
The venue and lead planned were also in on a BIG surprise for the bride and we stayed in contact all day to pull it off seamlessly.
I can not say enough good things about the venue itself - from the gorgeous bridal suite and the cool and comfortable grooms cabin that allowed both the bride and groom to get ready with room for their friends to hang out to the absolutely stunning property.
Every staff member was polite and friendly. Their lead planner is an absolute pro (and had a timeline that flowed perfectly even with a last minute surprise from The Clemson Tiger and dicey weather).
11/10 recommend and I would absolutely get married here myself. I hope to be back soon. As nice as it was - it’s also incredibly photogenic! Win win in wedding photography world.
PS - you have to see the surprise the planner helped the mom pull off for the bride;

A beautiful experience
We recently got married at Alexander Homestead November 4th and honestly, the process couldn’t have been easier. This is definitely a place to go if you don’t want to hire a wedding planner because they’ve got it covered. That being said, they do give you the option to make it your own as much as possible so you don’t feel like you’ve got a cookie cutter wedding. The staff also goes above and beyond to make sure you feel heard and reassured. As much of a ball of nerves I was, I had ALOT of questions and our coordinator, Danielle, answered all of them… probably twice lol. The venue is stunning and it can accommodate both large and small weddings. lastly, they are open and honest about pricing from the very beginning. There was never any surprise costs at the end. We knew all the costs (including tax) from the initial appointment with the venue. I highly recommend this place to any couple who wants easy wedding planning. They’ve got a perfect location in the city, amazing staff, and Beautiful venue!! -

We held our son’s wedding at Alexander Homestead. This wasn’t our first wedding in the family and wow- what an amazing experience! The venue is not only stunning but can be as little or as much of a one stop experience as you would like and at comparable or sometimes lower pricing than you could get on your own. First, you aren’t wasting resources trying to make a banquet room presentable as the grounds and facilities are absolutely stunning. They allow a bridal session before the wedding so that is an added bonus. Pictures and social media posts were gorgeous. Our planner made everything run smoothly and alleviated stress while making sure things ran smoothly down to every detail! Food was fantastic and what a presentation to have the barn doors open and close for the buffet! We had misting rain in the morning and that would have been no issue had it continued. I just can’t rave enough! And literally every guest commented on the venue and the staff! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this gem! -

The Perfect Venue, Planning Process, & Team
The best experience we could have ever asked for! After looking at over 10 different venues in the Charlotte area we came across Alexander Homestead and fell in love with the venue, wedding planning process, and incredible staff. Carolanne was our planning and day of coordinator and took care of every detail and more, making the wedding planning process as stress free as possible. She is absolutely fantastic and so wonderful to work with! We wouldn’t have changed a thing - cannot say enough about how much we love this venue and team! -

The most amazing venue!!!
I cannot sing enough praises about Alexander Homestead and their entire staff! While it is typically used for a wedding venue and an amazing one at that, my team utilized their venue to host our company's 10 year anniversary celebration and man did it impress our team! It's a beautiful spot to spoil any group and their help from start to finish was 2nd to none! They coordinated everything and made it so easy for me to meet deadlines and not miss a beat! Thank you to Danielle, Carolann, Nicole, and the entire Alexander Homestead staff for spoiling our team for such a beautiful event! -

Reilly Sent on 05/18/2023TLDR: Amazing Venue
We are incredibly grateful to Alexander Homestead for making our dream wedding a reality on April 22, 2023. Planning remotely from Seattle, our brunch wedding was nothing short of perfection. The team's impeccable communication, responsiveness, and attention to detail made us feel involved and supported throughout the entire process.
We were fortunate to work closely with Carolann, our exceptional event planner. Despite the physical distance, she made us feel like her top priority from day one. Her professionalism, warmth, and meticulous attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our wedding planning journey. Carolann's expertise and personal touch ensured that our vision came to life flawlessly.
The Alexander Homestead team perfectly blended their expertise, honed from countless weddings, with a genuine personal touch that made us feel like the only couple in the world.
It's easy to imagine that in such a popular venue, one might feel like just another couple in a long line of weddings being churned out every year- that was my fear. However, that was not the experience with AH. We were treated with the utmost care and individuality, as if our celebration was the pinnacle of their day. We never felt like just another event on their calendar. They never failed to listen attentively to our ideas and preferences, making us feel truly special and ensuring that our wedding was uniquely tailored to us.
The venue is just as breathtaking in person as it looks in pictures. The beautifully manicured gardens, charming details, and elegant architecture created a romantic ambiance that was picture perfect. The moment our guests arrived, they were captivated by the venue's timeless beauty. It provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception.
Throughout the entire event, the staff at Alexander Homestead worked tirelessly to ensure that everything ran smoothly. They anticipated our needs before we even realized them ourselves. The professionalism, friendliness, and expertise of the team were truly remarkable, making us feel like royalty on our special day.
The venue exceeded our expectations in every way, leaving us with cherished memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. We cannot express enough gratitude to the entire team at Alexander Homestead for their commitment to excellence and their passion for creating unforgettable memories. Our brunch wedding was nothing short of perfection, and we wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking to create their own dream wedding. -

Thomas and I used Alexander Homestead for our reception venue following our ceremony at our church. It was seamlessly smooth, nothing but fun, and the time went by so quickly! They took care of everything we asked for and anticipated all of our needs throughout the evening. We were able to sit back and enjoy our party without worrying about anything! -

Fantastic through every step!
I almost feel that I missed out on all the stress and anxiety of planning our wedding, almost!
AH made our wedding planning a breeze! We felt guilty about not stressing throughout the whole process but are so absolutely grateful and appreciative for all of the help and support we received throughout our journey. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and all our guests were raving about the venue!! Highly, highly recommend!! -

10/10 experience!!
We truly couldn’t have picked a better place for our wedding! When we were looking at venue options, we immediately knew Alexander Homestead was *the one* during our tour and we cancelled the rest of the venue tours we had planned for later that week. Not only were the grounds stunning, but the AH staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and made it clear that they would take great care of us. We also loved that AH had a list of approved vendors who were familiar with the venue and had great reviews from other couples. Being able to book our florist (Pink Petunia), DJ (All the Right Grooves), and cake (Delish) all through AH made the process so much easier for us. Also, our day of coordinator, Tirzah, is THE BEST. Tirzah is professional, organized, kind, fun, and made sure that everything went smoothly during the weeks/days leading up to the wedding. On our wedding day, we were able to relax and just enjoy being completely in the moment because we knew Tirzah and the AH team had everything under control. The AH team truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing and our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how beautiful the venue was. After the wedding, people have asked us if there was anything that went wrong or if we would have changed anything… we feel so fortunate that we can honestly say “no, it was perfect!” We are so glad that we chose AH as our wedding venue and we can’t thank the AH team and their partner vendors enough for everything. If you are considering getting married at AH, our only advice would be to hurry up and lock in your date before it’s too late. You won’t regret it! -
