    Beautiful setting, professional staff

    We chose this venue for a couple of reasons, not the least of which was the enchantingly rustic setting (I can’t wait to see how our professional photos turned out!)...the staff was professional and very helpful; we really couldn’t have asked for s lovelier experience!

    Last minute wedding

    Stephanie and Alex were amazing!! They worked with me to customize my time and ceremony setup. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and so laid back. My family and new husband loved everything about it.

    The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery's reply:

    Thank you Sierra! You were such a gorgeous bride, and we loved having you here! Congrats on your big day and hope to see you around the brewery!

    Flexible, GREAT value!

    OMB was our first choice for wedding venue and we were SO fortunate to be able to reserve them. They were very flexible, attentive to our needs, and made a package that was tailored for us. Charlotte was available, easy to communicate with, and genuinely seemed eager and happy to work with us. Planning was really stress-free. The food was AMAZING! We got so many compliments on that, the beer, and the cider! OMB provided so many of the essentials - tables, chairs, table cloths, etc, even candle votives. This saved us so much in rental costs that we were able to afford an open bar and other amenities that otherwise would have been out of our budget.

    Our guests had nice, clean facilities available, the room was private to us but still accessible for our guests to hang out in the biergarten before the ceremony. Plus the landscaping and grounds are well taken care of - we took our pre-ceremony photos on site.

    PLENTY of free parking the day of, plus close to hotels and the airport for our out of town guests and near the light rail so they could conveniently get Uptown. We found our florist through OMB's recommended vendors too!

    We could not have asked for a more perfect place.

    Perfect for rehearsal dinner and welcome party!

    We loved the vibe, food, set up and ease we had in booking and working with OMB to make the Friday festivities for our wedding weekend a success! Would definitely recommend this space!

    A great venue!!

    We had our rehearsal dinner here before our wedding earlier this month and Olde Meck did a great job with everything! The food was great and they were so easy to work with in getting everything arranged well before the date! I would highly recommend them for any group event!!

    We booked The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery for our rehearsal dinner and wedding welcome party and the event could not have been more perfect! Their staff was so helpful to us during the entire planning process. They helped make menu recommendations and were endlessly patient with us. We had about 30 guests for the rehearsal dinner and 100 guests for the welcome party and their staff made the entire event run flawlessly. The food was good, the prices were reasonable, and we got so many compliments on our venue choice. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone else looking for a place to hold a special event. Thank you so much OMB!

    I recently had our rehearsal dinner at OMB. This was the perfect place for it. Especially when most were out of town guests for our wedding. This is a central location for everyone staying uptown with a short drive or uber to the venue.

    I chose this spot because of the decor and atmosphere. I wanted something fun, classy, and plenty of space for my guests. Everyone said how much they liked the venue and the food. Charlotte and Billeigh did a wonderful job from our first initial contact to the event. Questions were answered very timely and extremely supportive of our needs for the event.

    The setup was great with the festhalle we reserved. The displays were professional and the food was delicious. Our own bartenders with various different types of drinks from sodas, water, wine, and beer.

    The atmosphere allowed us to have a secluded area for our rehearsal dinner along with our outdoor private patio. All out of town guests were invited and many enjoyed the outdoor beer garden and live music as well.

    The pricing is extremely reasonable for the venue and food. You will not be disappointed. I highly suggest in looking at OMB for any event.

    We had our son and fiance's rehearsal dinner there this past weekend- and it couldn't have been more magical!! The setting was beautiful, the staff was very attentive, friendly and so accomodating and the food and beer/wine was delicious and plentiful!! The coordinators for OMB, both Charlotte and Billiegh were very helpful, very available and such a delight to work with! It couldn't have been better- and because they took care of everything, my husband and I were able to enjoy it and visit and meet new friends and family!!
    Their friends certainly enjoyed themselves and had a great time eating and drinking and getting reacquainted!
    It was perfect- magical and wonderful!! I can't say enough, it was just absolutely so much fun and such a great experience!

    Having my ceremony and reception at OMB was THE BEST! From the initial contact with Charlotte to reserve the venue to meeting with Kelly to plan our menu and details I always felt like their #1 priority. We used OMB's catering and got a ton of compliments from our guests. The bartenders and day-of staff were always attentive and quick to act. We couldn't have hoped for a better venue for our special day!

    This was such a good choice for our rehearsal dinner. We booked a small room and had dinner catered by Queen City Q, they brought a few of our favorite beers into the room so we could have them for as long as we had the room. Then after our dinner we invited all of our other guests to come and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick! We loved our rehearsal so much. OMB was awesome and if we did it over again we would absolutely choose them again!

    This was everything I was looking for in a wedding location. I had my ceremony and reception on site and it was beautiful. I wanted it simple and elegant. The staff was so hard-working and friendly. The main areas remain open to the public but I loved that relaxed casual feel. Not to mention it's amazing to walk around in a wedding dress while the entire pub shouts odes of congratulations. They supply plenty of chairs and tables. I also catered through them and the food was delicious, guests were complimenting the food and the venue itself. It's a great location if you're looking for everything in one place: ceremony, reception, and catering. The large room gets flipped from the ceremony to the reception and there's a cocktail room while people wait for the magical flip. I also love that there's a roped off area on the patio for the wedding. All in all, it was amazing.

    All I can say is, if you are looking for a beautiful location with a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place for your reception! They were willing to work with me on anything I wanted to do for my reception, and the gorgeous rooms for events are a lovely canvas for any decor! The coordinators and bartenders were professional and fun, and I couldn't have been more pleased!

    Great Venue and Food, Lacking levels of Service

    Held a private event here for 105 people. We got married earlier in the day and held a private event/reception with friends and family at OMB. The good: the booking process is painless and they have a variety of set up and food options. The venue itself and food are excellent. The bad: the level of service is poor and most (not all) of the staff did nothing to make the 3 hours we booked feel "special". Examples of poor customer service include:
    -running out of appetizers when not all 105 people ate or showed up. We paid per head.
    -event coordinator could not get music to work. There was a jack for my phone but he eventually could only get music from his phone to play
    -was directed to multiple areas to try and get cornhole boards for a few of my friends instead of staff being more helpful and taking care of that for us
    -Without going into too much detail, strictly enforced a policy and removed a guest without warning or questions asked. Guest was unaware of the rule and traveled in from out of town.
    - Ran out of one of the wines offered
    - when time was up staff looked annoyed and frustrated when we did not immediately vacate the room
