    Perfect for us!

    I have catered many weddings here myself. It was my turn to get married and brakefield a riverwalk is my top choice. I love everything about this place. We rented a vintage car and it looked perfect with the stone exterior of the brakefield. Inside we love the groom Suite & the bridal suite. Our ceremony area was perfect outside and we can hear the babbling river, it was beautiful. The dining room was set up gorgeous and even the guest bathrooms are very pretty. It’s a very comfortable venue to work in and to have a wedding in! Kelly is amazing and always answered us quickly if we had any questions before our wedding. She made the planning with the venue and coordinating with vendors very easy. She is very kind and very sweet and I appreciate her so much! Allison her assistant is also very helpful and very kind. The bartender was awesome and treated all of our loved ones very well. It was finally my turn to get married and I am very pleased that we picked the Brakefield I recommend it 100% thank you so much Kelly you are the best! Our wedding was gorgeous!

    Brakefield is the best!

    Stop looking you have found your wedding venue! You should book the venue for Kelly’s expertise alone not to mention the gorgeous views, large open space and the ability to bring in any licensed vendors of your choosing. They made the day run smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for a better day! Thank you, thank you thank you!

    Nothing less than phenomenal!

    Brakefield was the first venue I looked at...and I wanted to explore my options so I looked at quite a few, but came back to what I fell in love with upon first glance. The venue is SO beautiful you don't need much, for additional decorations. The facility inside and out is stunning. The outside with the water back drop, breath taking.

    Kelly Sanders, the venue manager, is a GEM. You truly never know the customer service you will receive, but her customer service, prompt responses, professionalism, sweet demeanor, and interaction was amazing - and I had a COVID wedding (married July 9, 2020). Kelly went above and beyond to accommodate us with all of our needs. My guest have talked about how beautiful the venue is.

    Kelly you ROCK...thank you for making our events happy and memorable.

    Gorgeous Venue! Amazing venue.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk is a gorgeous venue with everything you need. I also had Kelly as my wedding coordinator and my wedding was perfect! I didn't have to worry about a thing. Thanks for everything! You all are amazing.

    Gorgeous Venue!

    This venue is just gorgeous! We held our reception outside, with the beautiful river view behind us. Pro is that this venue is so close to Rock Hill, yet you are also surrounded by nature. You can walk literally 2 min and take pictures right at the river. The interior is beautiful too. The way it is decorated looks amazing. We only brought flowers and kept the decorations that Brakefield has already set up. Further, working with venue manager Kelly made us feel very homey at the venue. She helped us with everything we needed to plan in advance and also on our wedding day. I would totally recommend this venue to everyone who is looking for an intimate, outdoorsy place.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! You and Brad were such a pleasure to work with. And it was my absolute pleasure to help make your day special! Congratulation to you both, the Brakefield crew wishes you the best of luck!

    The entire time we planned for our wedding went extremely smooth because the staff at Brakefield we’re always available to answer questions and wiling to make minor adjustments as the great day approached!

    Beautiful venue. I loved this venue because the owner built this venue with a bride in mind. She invested a lot in the decorating so that a lot of extra decorations would not need to do a whole lot.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Not sure who you are but, thanks for the cudos! We did our best to make it nice without breaking a brides budget! Merry Christmas and best wishes for a long happy marriage!

    Amazing Venue

    This venue couldn't have been any more perfect for my October 27th wedding. My guests are still gushing about how beautiful and perfect the venue was. Also, Kelly, the week-of coordinator, was AMAZING. I couldn't have possibly gotten through the day without her. She ran my wedding like a well-oiled machine. Love, love, love her - and Brakefield in general. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Melissa! Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure hosting your special day at Brakefield. You and your family were amazing to work with. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it. Good luck to you and Kyle! -Kelly

    Brakefield hosted our wedding on Friday September 14, during the scare of Hurricane Florence. In spite of all of the worry about weather leading up to the day, I can say that everything was AMAZING! During our wedding venue search, Brakefield was actually the place we visited last. As soon as I walked through the door, I fell in love! It literally looks like a small castle! I cannot say enough about the owner Carol and venue manager Kelly. Their professionalism is what really sold me. They happily answered any questions we had leading up to the day and made the entire process as smooth as possible. I would gladly refer them to any person planning an event in the Rock Hill/Charlotte area.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Shantal,

    We are so, so glad that Florence calmed considerably before your day. I wish we could have been outdoors for your ceremony but, you may have blown away!. At least the rain held off. Wishing you all the best and thank so much for letting us host your day. Super nice review and it is greatly appreciated!! Take Care!
    Sincerely,
    Carol and Kelly

    Brakefield at Riverwalk was an incredible venue for our wedding. The beauty of the surrounding scenery with the river in the background made all of our pictures look incredible without any effort. The decorations inside were elegant and allowed us to spend less time focusing on how to decorate our venue and instead focus on more important matters. The venue itself was built specifically for weddings, so the entire layout works wonderfully. Finally, Carol (the owner) was a treat to work with - completely professional and prompt with everything, helping remove a lot of stress as we approached our wedding date. The in house coordinator, Kelly, was everything we could have hoped for and more in a coordinator - friendly, professional, and yet not afraid to keep other vendors (and guests!) in line so that everything went smoothly. We hesitated a bit when deciding between several venues and could not be happier we chose Brakefield at Riverwalk.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Kelly and Camille,
    We hope married life is going great! This is certainly a rave review. Nothing better than getting it right and making our clients happy! Such a great move hiring Kelly to coordinate for you. She knows her stuff! I appreciate the nice things you said about me as well. It is always a pleasure to work with such nice people as you and your guests were. Wishing you a bright, prosperous future. Take good care!
    Sincerely,
    Carol

    Carol and Kelly at Brakefield were professional and responsive with any questions or concerns. My husband and I were married here May 6, 2018 and could not ask for anything more beautiful and perfect. They addressed all needs we had and were there to help but were not overwhelming or in the way. To be honest the venue cost was way more than we wanted to spend but at the end of the day it was everything we wanted and we got so many compliments on the space and what did with it. I would recommend this venue if you are looking for a charming elegant place overlooking the peaceful Catawba river.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Jessica,
    We are so very appreciative of all of your nice comments and certainly glad we earned a five star review! It was our pleasure to help make your day everything you wanted and we wish you both all the best in life together. Take good care, Carol & Kelly

    My fiancé and I fell in love with this venue as soon as we saw it! We had looked around at numerous other venues, but nothing compared to this one in price or beauty. It is absolutely stunning!! The owner Carol designed a beautiful venue, and you need very little if any decor. Both Carol & Kelly were awesome to work with. Very responsive & accommodating. It is tucked away in a beautiful area next to the river with a great view. We would totally recommend this venue!

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Ashley,
    We are really glad that you chose our venue and met your expectations. It is always nice to hear 5 star remarks! Good to know we know we are providing quality service to our clients. Thanks so much. Wishing you both the very best!
    Sincerely,
    Carol & Kelly

    Carol designed a stunning venue! Between the venue itself and the beautiful views it is the perfect location for any event. My fiance and I choose Brakefield for our wedding venue and we couldn't have been happier! Carol and Kelly are both wonderful people to work with! If you need any information they will be more than happy to get it for you. Any time I had to contact them they were quick to respond with the information I needed if not more. The venue speaks for itself, it is absolutely beautiful on the inside and out. We had our ceremony outside and the views were phenomenal and our reception inside. The venue on the inside doesn't even need decor, it's just beautiful as it is. I can't say enough good things about this venue, it's definitely worth a look you won't be disappointed!

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Vanessa,
    We can't say thank you enough for such a fabulous endorsement! It is our pleasure to have been your chosen venue. We are glad to have made your day special in all the ways we could. We wish you both the very best life has to offer! Best Regards, Carol & Kelly

    My husband and I hosted our wedding at Brakefield and we could not be more happier with our decision! Carol and Kelly will go above and beyond for you and make your vision a reality! Our wedding was a couple weeks ago and guests are still talking about it! It is such a great location for an affordable price and they work with you! I would recommend this venue time and time again and if your on the fence-get off because you do not need to look any further!!

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Stephanie,
    So glad you guys had a great day here at Brakefield. It is always nice to work with such lovely couples, of which your are one. Thanks so much and best wishes for a great future together!

    Mrs. Carol and her team are AMAZING - After my previous venue went out of business 3 weeks before the wedding I went on a crazy search to find a location that felt like it represented me. After several drive bys looking in windows at different locations from Charlotte to Gastonia I found and email The Brakefield. Mrs. Carol email right back and provided me with empathy and sympathy for my situation - THE ONLY vendor that really listen to me. I walked around her venue and realized that what had happen to me was supposed to happen - Mrs Carol's location is beautiful, breath taking for pictures and the energy I felt let me know this was the place for me.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Suzanna,

    It must have been kismet for sure. We are so glad that we were available for your wedding after the "trama" you endured. It was a lovely day and that you were happy is thanks enough. We certainly appreciate all the kindness of your comments. Take good care always!
    Sincerely, Carol

    This place is beautiful. When I saw this place, I knew right then this is where I was having my wedding. I am so excited for our big day. They have been very helpful with any questions I might have had and respond rather quickly when I email them.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Dear Tierra,
    Such a nice compliment you have paid and you haven't even had your wedding yet! We will do our very best to live up to the nice things and high standards we set for ourselves and our clients. See you soon!

    My daughter and I looked at 5 venues and chose Brakefield. Her wedding was June 17, 2016. We received a better rate as we booked a Friday rather than Saturday. Our guests have not stopped complimenting the venue and nothing could have made us happier than how everything turned out. It is such a beautiful place. It's immaculate, very well manicured landscaping, very elegant. Excellent wedding coordinator on site. We could not have done it without her. She had everything very well planned and timed, without it feeling like it was scheduled. The venue is so well decorated already that it was not a big task to add our personal touch to make it a beautiful wedding. Also, the freedom and flexibility to choose our vendors was really important as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    We are so glad that we met all of your expectations! We do our best to give our clients a great foundation to hold their personalized wedding day and it means so much to hear such a great review. Most appreciative and wishing you and your family the best always! Sincerely, Carol and Kelly

    Beautiful venue. Carol and Kelly were wonderful. In my opinion, the best venue in Rock Hill for a wedding. Even on a rainy day.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    Hi Eneida ad LaVar,
    We could not have been more honored to have been chosen for your wedding day! For you, and your professional DJ husband with Split Second Sound (fabulous) who knows all the venues around, you both picked Brakefield. High praise indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your day here. Best Always! Carol and Kelly

    The staff here are amazing! The day of my wedding it decided to downpour. I had my heart set on having the ceremony outside and wanted to wait to see if the rain would subside before the start of the ceremony. The staff waited until the last possible minute to set up chairs to see if the rain would stop. It didn't and we ended up having the ceremony on the covered patio. I really appreciate their willingness to work with me to help ease the stress of the wedding day.

    Brakefield at Riverwalk's reply:

    We are so glad that you had a great experience despite the rain! Your kind words mean so much. Thank you! Not sure who this bride is since it has done nothing but rain for weeks...but, Kelly and I wish you the very best life has to offer!

    If you're looking for a wedding venue, stop searching! Brakefield at Riverwalk is an excellent choice. It is picturesque and is gorgeous on the inside and out. The staff are easy to work with, very flexible, and makes you feel at home. My fiance and I visited other venues for our wedding, and we knew that we wouldn't be satisfied until we toured Brakefield. One tour is all that it took for us to make the decision. Brakefield at Riverwalk exceeded all of our expectations for our perfect wedding day!
