    Beautiful and elegant

    Everything came out gorgeous. They provide the food and alcohol so it helps when trying to find caterers and stuff like that

    Wonderful from the Beginning!

    Kate was so wonderful to work with. I have never planned anything this big and never married so I was completely lost but she guided us through the whole thing! The servers were also amazing and the food was phenomenal! It was everything I wanted it to be and more. I cannot thank Kate and the Club for all their hard work making our day so special!

    The perfect location for my December wedding!

    Carolina Trace did such a great job with our wedding! My December wedding was beautiful, thanks to CTCC. I originally wasn't sure about having my wedding in Sanford since I'm from Raleigh and wanted somewhere more local, but everything that this country club had to offer was too good to pass up. I fell in love with the venue from the moment that I toured it-- it truly is a hidden gem! Even though it is a shared club (with the members), we basically had the place to ourselves for the wedding. We had the ceremony in the hearthstone room and the reception in the ballroom and it turned out perfectly! We also got pictures outside, which were beautiful near the lake and outside on the patio. We had the steak and salmon for the food and an open bar. The food was delicious, and the drinks were great too. Overall we were very happy with the value and service that Carolina Trace provided!

    Wonderful memories of a very special day.

    Ellen was a joy to work with and helped plan a lovely sit-down luncheon to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. Social distancing was strictly observed by the way the tables were set in the Heartstone Room. We even had 2 tables on the outside patio, complete with linen tableclothes and napkins. We had many compliments on the meal as well as the 2 young ladies that served us. The price for everything was more than fair, and Ellen was there the entire time to oversee things. She even made sure that the walls of the outside patio were freshly washed. It was truly a very special day with many wonderful memories.

    Awesome venue

    Beautiful community! Ellen was such a pleasure to work with. She made the process as smooth as possible. The food they served was great. Good selection of choices to choose from as well. I would definitely recommend this place for a wedding or any event.

    Beautiful and so much fun!

    Carolina Trace was a beautiful venue to have our wedding last weekend. Ellen and her team did a phenomenal job! Ellen was very professional, responsive, flexible, and accommodating to all of our needs to make our day extra special. The food was amazing and being able to taste it before hand was definitely a great perk. We had severe thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and hail during our ceremony which prevented it from being outside but having the flexibility to be indoors was awesome. It turned out beautiful anyway! If you need a wedding venue then definitely look into Carolina Trace!

    Gorgeous venue

    Carolina Trace was recommended to us by a friend after we started our venue search and we are so happy that we arranged a meeting with them! The venue and the grounds are absolutely beautiful! The lake lawn where outdoor ceremonies are held is full of natural greenery and seasonal flowers so outdoor decor is not needed! The food is also excellent, and there are many options to choose from. We loved working with Ellen, the coordinator, and found all the other staff to be very friendly and accommodating. I had no issues with the “flow” of our day, which was my biggest fear as a bride who planned the entire wedding! I highly recommend Carolina Trace as a wedding venue- and my husband and groomsmen really enjoyed the golf course as well!

    We chose this venue at the last minute due to COVID. The staff was extremely helpful. Dealing with Ellen was a pleasure. Would definitely recommend. It was absolutely beautiful!

    great venue!

    When looking for a venue, we wanted something that took a lot of the stress out of the planning. We also wanted an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, with a single location. Carolina Trace checked all those boxes! Being a country club, they serve as the caterer, coordinator, and venue, with all "extras" like tables and chairs and linens being included. This takes so much of the stress out of wedding planning and their inclusive package is reasonably priced for everything you get! Not to mention, the garden ceremony location and ballroom are gorgeous for a classic, timeless wedding. They have a multi-purpose room that serves as the bridal suite, which isn't huge but was plenty for my wedding party. If you want a stress-free experience and a beautiful outdoor venue, look no further!

    Victoria equal heart eyes

    From the moment we started looking at venues. She was our first stop. She was so nice, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Such a sweet person. I was so confident in her that before we left CTCC I knew this would be the place. We looked at other venues and nothing compared.

    Beautiful venue!

    I have been working with Ellen planning my wedding at Carolina Trace Country club and I couldn't be happier. Ellen is so great, knowledgeable, and responsive. I'm so looking forward to my wedding in May 2020. The outdoor setting at this place is spectacular and I can't wait to have pictures taken there. The venue is perfect as it can accommodate both big and small weddings. Thank you Ellen!

    Ellen was very patient and responsive the entire time. Due to Covid, I couldn't have the wedding I wanted, but Carolina Trace helped to make this event more than special!

    Ester wedding

    This was the most helpful and understanding group of people. Victoria Harper and her people were great. My guests raved about the food and how willing everyone was to do anything and everything that was asked. I can't state how much it meant to my family.

    Great venue

    Carolina Trace is a great and affordable venue in the Sanford area. I really enjoyed having my big day at this venue because it was very organized and beautiful. When we arrived to the venue, they had placed all decorations on each table and made it easy and less stressful. Victoria was great and I really appreciate her professionalism, organization, and kindness. I really appreciate Victoria during the process and she always kept up with us to make sure our needs were met.

    Thank you Victoria!!

    The venue: Carolina Trace is a hidden gem! It was the perfect venue to have my wedding and reception. We loved the idea of having both the wedding and reception in the same place. The property is picturesque and made for beautiful photos.

    Planner & Staff: Victoria, was a tremendous help to us with everything. She was very professional, dependable and she really knew her stuff when it came to planning. She was responsive and flexible with last minute changes and we were really blessed to have her a part of our day. She made sure we stayed on track with the timeline and didn’t mind taking on the task of giving orders when we were busy trying to get ourselves in order. She and the staff (especially Ashleylynn) went above and beyond to keep the wedding party on time and ensured all of our desires were met. I actually miss working with her, and it was a really good time. We would highly recommend Carolina Trace to any couple planning their wedding in North Carolina.

    Food & Fun: The food was delicious, all of our guests are still raving about the food. There were no more appetizers left to go around. So many people have said it has either been the best wedding they had ever been to or that the food has been the best they’ve ever had at a wedding. Everything came out perfect for our special day. It was a great feeling to stand back at the end of the night and see everyone enjoying themselves so much.
