    Our dream wedding

    I cannot say enough about Grace Wedding and Event Center!! I knew from the moment I walked inside the venue to meeting the owner, Carlyn, that this was where I wanted to get married. From the beginning, Carlyn was so welcoming and personable. I felt as if I was talking to a friend. She is truly one of a kind and goes above and beyond to give you the wedding of your dreams.
    Not only was the venue affordable but this is definitely a one stop shop! There was tons of decorations to choose from to help take that stress off of planning and everything is simply beautiful!! Our guest loved the food, the bar and staff service, and that everything was in one place. We had a fairly large wedding (150+) and Carlyn and her staff were able to handle it with ease! Everything was simply beautiful and elegant. I could go on and on but this place is truly a gem and you will not be disappointed to have your wedding here.

    Absolutely LOVED Grace Wedding & Event Center!!

    I have attended 4 weddings at both Grace Wedding & Event Center locations! 3 at their Statesville location and 1 at their Gastonia location. I got married at the Statesville location back in Sept 2021. I will always recommend this venue to any couples looking to get married. The venue is so beautiful - very classy & elegant with all the chandeliers and white drapes. They provide all the decorations + set up/break down. All you have to do is show up & get married! The owner, Carlyn, goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for your day! She also let me take my bridals at their Gastonia location. The venue provides catering - delish! We had so many compliments of our meal! I could go on and on about this venue & the staff! Love everything about Grace Wedding & Events Center ❤️

    This place is awesome

    I was the DJ for a wedding on 5/18/19, it was beautiful. This full service venue offered uplighting, a custom monogram gobo, catering and a Full bar! talk about one stop shop, this beautiful venue is just a short drive outside of Charlotte and is now one of my favorites. A bride couldn't go wrong by selecting this beautiful venue.

    Amazing venue and staff

    First time I walked into Grace (after visiting many venues) I knew it was my dream venue. After talking with Carlyn I was definitely sold on this location. Carlyn and the staff made my wedding stress free and kept my mind at ease. The venue is beautiful and the food was delicious. If you want a beautiful and stress free wedding, Grace is definitely the place for you.

She’s genuine and sweet! The food!! All of the food was great!! My guest wanted seconds and that almost never happens at a wedding! Overall I had a fairytale wedding.

    The first time I walked into Grace I knew it was the place. Then once I met Carlyn everything was confirmed. She is so such a sweet soul. She has a heart for people and she loves what she does. Grace and the staff takes a lot of stress off the bride. It’s a one stop shop. All the decorations you could ever dream of at your fingertips without an additional cost. If you get “anxious” - Caryln is a phone call or text away and after you speak to her, all your anxiety will cease. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. She will make your day everything you dreamed and more without going in debt!

    To say it was a great experience is an understatement. The place is gorgeous, the staff is terrific, the food - amazing. My guests think we spent a small fortune for the wedding of our dreams but we didn’t. They have have so many options available and keep your budget in mind. Not to mention they were the most affordable venue I checked into. They have truly made it easy for the bride. Lots of decor onsite to choose from at no extra cost. Mix and match with your own to truly make it unique. Set up and clean up is included in the price. And let me talk about the food. My guests raved about how delicious it was. If you want a professional and awesome experience then definitely go with these guys. You won’t be disappointed.

    Overall best decision my wife and I made throughout our process. We were So happy with our wedding this past weekend 9-3-16. Everything went very well and Caryln was there every step of the way to guide us. She also provided everything we needed in house and very reasonably priced. If you are within an Hour of this amazing venue and have a wedding coming up you'd really be selling yourself short to not check them out. 10 out of 10. My wife and I are so greatful.

    We got married at Grace on 08/06/2016. After walking into the venue for the first time it truly felt like a dream come true extremely magical venue Carlyn and her husband have done an amazing job decorating and making the place really feel like grace. Carlyn made my wedding experience stress free. She was always there as a planner and a friend making me feel confident and beautiful. She handled the decoration and the food she stated that she only wants her brides to walk in with their wedding dress. She is such an amazing person with a beautiful heart. Not only did we do business with her and her husband we created a lifetime friendship. Choose grace!!!!!!!!! You will not be disappointed. My husband and I will forever remember our day full of love peace and happiness. Thank you Caryln!!!!!!!

    My husband and I used Grace Events for our wedding ceremony and reception and I could not have been more lucky to find Carlyn and her staff. They are absolutely terrific! Professional, helpful, sweet, caring, supportive, and help/guide you through every step along the way. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a wedding in the area. I was truly able to have the wedding of my dreams because of Grace Events. The food is outstanding and the wedding decor is elegant and beautiful. Thank you so much to Carlyn and her staff for everything they did for us!!!

    It was the wedding of my dreams! I could not have been more pleased with Carlyn and her team! She was just a text away with any questions I had during the process. One reason I chose Grace Wedding and Event Center was how they do almost everything there and I wouldn't have to deal with a lot of vendors. They do not up charge for every little detail and she let us use anything we wanted of hers for decor which helped save money. They set up and cleaned up everything at the end of the night was a huge bonus. I feel like I gained a new friend through this process as well. This place, food, and staff go above and beyond to make sure your day is amazing.

    Carlyn & Josh are an amazing couple that always put the bride & groom first above everything else. They were helpful from the moment we met them & made our day perfect. The minute I walked into the venue, I knew it was the one. Not only has Carlyn been there for us for the wedding, but she has become a friend. I could not have asked for a more perfect day and it is all because of Carlyn, Josh & their amazing team. I am so thankful for them & the perfect, memorable day we had.

    This is Brittany continuing from my past review! I wanted to add that after my mom was upset, Carlyn being the person she is was getting equally upset while at the same time being as optimistic as possible and actually called a friend to be a backup photographer for the wedding and at a very affordable price! This photographer was actually there within 15 minutes of the call and was just as friendly and professional as Carlyn! We actually walked to a building for photos after the ceremony and soon after we got back to the reception my husband left his glasses. He explained this to Carlyn and how he will go back really quickly to get them and Carlyn told him not to worry and to sit down for the dinner and actually came back with his glasses! They made sure we were well taken care of and if she wasn't checking on us, her husband and helpers were! They generally care about their customers and the real reason I wanted to make this review is because I want people to understand that you're not just hiring a vendor, you're making friends in the process! Oh and did I mention that we forgot our garter and Carlyn actually made us one last second so that we had one to throw? Seriously a life saver! So please, if you want someone who will not only give you the best wedding of your life, but also make sure that whatever goes wrong, she's prepared for it FOR you then please go with this venue. This is a BEAUTIFUL place that is run by some pretty AMAZING people and they truly are a blessing to me and my husband. I just hope this review done them some real justice!

    First I must stay this will possibly be a long review, but I wanted to do Carlyn justice for all she has done for me and my husband. Me and my husband had to plan two weddings in a very short amount of time(literally less than 6 months of full planning) mainly because he is both Indian and from Trinidad. We wanted to honor both cultures so we through a traditional Hindu wedding in Canada(he moved there from Trinidad when he was still a young teen) and a traditional Christian wedding here, in North Carolina where I am from. Basically, we were stressed! In saying this, I want to express just how much of a God send Carlyn truly was! Not only was she flexible with us, knowing all the things we were busy doing, she also was more than prepared for anything and everything that could go wrong. She had decorations that she allows her brides to use for their weddings(crossing off having to find a lot of that stuff was a good stress reliever) and she goes above and beyond making the place look and feel perfect for the wedding day. She caters her own place(with the help of her wonderful husband) and the food was absolutely amazing and she even made us a little plate to take home with us which really came in handy at the end of the night. All in all, she exceeded the expectations I had. Now, after stating all of this I wanted to say the real reason why I felt the urge to take my time with this review. In the beginning I was soo stressed the morning of my wedding because my Photographer decided to basically flunk on me. He ignored my calls and texts and only answered when my mother(I was already getting ready at the time) called him from the makeup artists phone. He was rude on top of being late and it really put all of us in a sour mood. I hate confrontations and breaking commitments so I still decided to try and stay with him, but my mother wasn't having it. This will be continued in another comment because not enough room!

    We had our wedding at Grace 3 weeks ago, and couldn't have asked for a better venue or experience! Carlyn and Josh are a wonderful couple, and will go to any lengths to help you plan one of the most important days of your life!! We had so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was, the food, and the overall experience. Everyone was so pleased with everything and so were Nicholas and I! We strongly recommend everyone who is looking for a venue or to hold a reception to give this place a look! It is absolutely beautiful, and is the best place around, hands down! We love Grace and josh and Carlyn for making our day so memorable for us! ?

    My husband and I enjoyed the planning process from start to finish because of Carlyn and Josh at Grace. They made it so easy to relax and enjoy it all. The planning with Carlyn was fun, creative, relaxing and everything we would have hoped for. We visited other locations while searching for a venue in the early planning and once I met Carlyn and saw the venue, I was in love and sold. We knew that was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding. We can not say enough great thing about both of them, the staff, and the caterer. The service was impeccable, the food was outstanding, you get more then your moneys worth and everyone had a great time. We highly recommend Grace Wedding and Events as the perfect place to host your special event!

    We had an amazing experience at Grace! Carlyn and her husband go above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of and are some of the kindest people I have ever met. They decorated everything so beautifully and I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding :) I would recommend them to anyone! They even met us on our way out to our honeymoon with a huge container of food leftover for us to have. They think of everything! Love them!

    I have never met two nicer people than these owners. They were so great at making sure everything was perfect and incredibly flexible with scheduling. The reception was phenomenal and everything look beautiful. The food was amazing as well. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a venue. You will certainly not regret it.
