    The best place ever

    I found the Lumen House on instagram and knew I had to tour. When my fiancé and I toured, they had him stand under the arch and me walk toward him, and after that (and some happy tears), I was sold. The venue speaks for itself. It is gorgeous, thoughtfully designed, and perfect just as is, or all out decorated. Britt is the most amazing person. When it started pouring minutes before ceremony time, she was soaking wet helping get everything moved into the greenhouse. She came to me with giant umbrellas and made sure to get me into my ceremony dry. It all worked out perfectly and was better than anything I could have imagined. She even made sure to give us graham crackers to feed the cows with, making the perfect photo opportunity. You can tell that the team put their heart and soul into this place, and it shows. What they have created in a venue is so special and I couldn't imagine my wedding day being anywhere else.

    A dream to work with

    From our first conversation with the Lumen House team, we knew we had found the right venue for our wedding. Despite living in New York and planning our celebration in Charlotte, they made the long-distance process feel seamless through extra Zoom calls and crystal-clear communication that made us feel heard every step of the way. When my wedding coordinator had a family emergency and couldn't attend our rehearsal, the Lumen House staff stepped in without hesitation and ran the entire rehearsal so flawlessly that our guests never knew anything was different. Beyond the logistics, their thoughtful recommendations—like connecting us with a florist they trusted—showed they genuinely cared about making our day special. The space itself is stunning and intimate, perfect for our guest count of 112, and vendors we worked with raved about how easy they were to collaborate with. We can't thank the sweet ladies at Lumen House enough for turning our vision into a day we'll never forget.

    Bride

    We had our wedding here and it was the most incredible experience. In the months leading up, the venue was super responsive, answered all my questions and helped me as I planned. On the wedding day, Izzy (the venue rep) was there at 10am right when we arrived. She made sure everything was setup perfectly. She worked with our coordinator and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of. It was the most perfect day and i would rebook them every time if i had to do it over again.

    AVOID AT ALL COST - DO NOT RUIN YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAY

    Based on our personal experience, I would strongly recommend being very cautious before booking this venue. During the initial walkthrough, the venue appeared professional and welcoming, and we were led to believe it would be an ideal place for our wedding. Unfortunately, our experience after signing the contract was very different. We encountered significant challenges regarding communication, flexibility, and the handling of our deposit, which was not returned despite ongoing disputes. We felt considerable pressure to use the venue’s preferred vendors. When we chose to bring in outside vendors, multiple vendors later shared with us that they had difficult interactions with the venue’s management team. These challenges contributed to unnecessary stress leading up to and during our wedding. In our experience, communication from the owner and management continued even during our honeymoon and afterward, raising concerns and issues that we believed had already been addressed or were unsupported. Some claims made by the venue did not align with our own documentation. Fortunately, we had extensive photo and video coverage of the event, which helped us verify what actually occurred. As a couple and family of color, we felt uncomfortable with certain interactions and how situations were handled. While this was our personal experience, it significantly affected how we remember our wedding day. Prospective couples should also be aware that social media content may not fully reflect the operational or management experience. We encourage anyone considering this venue to ask detailed questions, carefully review contracts, and speak directly with past clients like me and vendors before committing. If anyone is considering booking this venue, willing to share our experience, including documented communication, so they can make an informed decision. Lastly, they reached out to take money from the decorator's insurance company without keeping us in the loop even after telling us we need to use our insurance to cover alleged repair costs for pre-existing damages in their venue.

    From Vision to Reality at Lumen House

    When my husband and I booked this venue for our wedding, the property was still under construction and existed only as a vision brought to life through renderings. Looking back, I’m so grateful we trusted that vision because we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect location! This venue offers a timeless, romantic setting that truly enhances the vision for your wedding day. Its design, private location, and intimate layout made it the ideal spot for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. What truly set it apart, though, was the incredible team at Lumen House. Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we first toured the property to the final moments of our wedding day, it felt like they were genuinely rooting for us, and they treated us like family. If you’re considering a venue, book with Lumen House—you won’t regret it!
