Rosa Lee Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding. Their communication was very quick, whether by email or text, which was so helpful during the planning process. Everything was clean and organized, and the price was very reasonable compared to other places, especially considering all that they offer. They made everything so smooth for us on the day, and we even got a complimentary breakfast basket! It was so convenient that they had a house on the property where we could have both our ceremony and reception. The house sleeps 12, so our bridal party was able to stay with us and get ready there as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Riverwood Manor, and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. The lakeside ceremony space exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the natural beauty of the grounds. The ceremony area sits perfectly nestled among mature trees that provide just the right amount of shade and create a magical, intimate atmosphere. The tranquil lake in the background offered a stunning backdrop for our photos. The staff at Riverwood Manor were exceptional from start to finish. Our coordinator, Sarah, guided us through the entire planning process with patience and expertise. On the day itself, the team worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. What truly sets Riverwood Manor apart is their attention to detail. The white ceremony arch was elegantly decorated just as we had envisioned, and the seating arrangement allowed all our guests to feel included in the moment. The natural aisle created by the chairs and trees made for a breathtaking entrance. The reception area was equally impressive, with ample space for dining and dancing. The catering team prepared a delicious meal that our guests are still raving about weeks later. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with professional service, Riverwood Manor delivers on all fronts. Our guests repeatedly told us it was the most beautiful wedding setting they had ever experienced, and we couldn't agree more. This hidden gem provided us with memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

We had the opportunity to work at Magnolia Woods two consecutive weekends. The first week with Jodie one of the owners and Amy the Office Manager. The next week with Heather the other owner and Chris the Day of Coordinator. They were all extremely professional and made sure our couples were very well taking care of. During the week before both events, we had an on-site visit and communicated by email with Amy. She was always prompt with her responses and very accommodating. Needless to say, the whole team for both weddings were equally accommodating. Magnolia Woods also provide off-site catering as well. I would highly recommend Magnolia Woods to anyone looking for a venue for any type of event. Awesome team of professionals, great location, delicious food, and a very nice facility.

LUXE marble floor and high ceiling creates a grand and modern look. The huge outdoor covered patio is the most unique in the Charlotte area. Being able to bring your own vendors saves a lot of money on alcohol and gives you control over what you want to do. I think Luxe is the best venue in Charlotte as long as your guest count is under 200.
