About

Our mission at Alexander Homestead is to produce seamless all-inclusive experiences. This is accomplished through our high level of expertise, top-rated vendor connections, transparency in pricing, and authentic connection to our clients.

A simple search for “venues near me” and it’s easy to become overwhelmed with all the choices. How do you know if a venue is the right fit for YOU? For some, it’s all about the bottom line, but how do you even know what that will be when no two venues price things the same way. In our 30 years of experience, we’ve sat across the table with thousands of couples, and we know what YOU need. Authenticity. Ease. Customization. Expertise. Fun. If you want to feel like a guest at your own wedding, we are the place for you.

Our 5-acre property includes a beautiful garden, modern indoor event space, pond with waterfall and stream, and an historic house built in 1903. The temperature-controlled barn can host seated weddings and events for up to 215. Alexander Homestead’s city location makes it easily accessible to all. Couples are attracted to ease of planning, but also the endless photo ops at the enchanting gazebo and throughout the garden.

Couples can learn much more about the value of our true all-inclusive venue on our website.

Picture Perfect Wedding in 2024

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

Perfect summer wedding reception venue

As a couple planning our wedding from out of state, we were looking for a venue that could really help us plan our wedding. The all-inclusive options from Alexander Homestead made our wedding planning so much easier. The team is quick to respond, and we always felt that we could ask even the most basic questions. Danielle was our day-of-coordinator, and she helped make sure that the whole day went perfectly. Some highlights: the garden was absolutely beautiful during the summer, the food was better than most other weddings we've been to, and their in-house and recommended vendors were better than we could have imagined. All in all, we would definitely recommend Alexander Homestead to anyone looking for a beautiful venue in the heart of Charlotte!! We had the perfect wedding reception

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;
