Eric & Hope
Things To Do & Places To Eat
Coco the Director, City Center
CAFFEINE, CONNECTION, & COMPETITION...with Hope still in grad school, coffeehouse visits were a frequent stop for us. Often times we could be found studying or maybe just sipping sweet and playing for keeps. Our favorite board games and puzzles await you at our favorite coffeehouse.
Discovery Place Science
SCIENCE MEETS SWEETHEARTS...While Eric was landing his feet in Charlotte, Hope was still "science-ing" away at Wake Forest University. Of course, Hope shared her findings with Eric by phone each night and he patiently supported her "discoveries".
Charlotte IMAX Dome Theatre at Discovery Place Science
EPIC LOVE...EPIC SCREEN...Over our 3 1/2 years of dating, we have made a "cinematic connection" and our romance has scaled to new heights.
Nascar Hall of Fame
LONG DISTANCE DATING ...We spent our first year dating in different states. Our love was fueled by gas station pit stops and shared playlists.
Freedom Park
Want to join the Bride & Groom for a run or just want to take an evening stroll around the lake, let us know. Freedom Park is one of Charlottes gems, it’s also BEAUTIFUL during Fall!
ArtWalks CLT - Charlotte center city
FINDING BEAUTY WHILE PAINTING THEIR OWN MEMORIES...Charlotte is full of beauty, whether it be the ballet, symphony, or walking down the street, Charlotte has it all. Our reception venue is near the home of the CLT Symphony and adjoins the new Charlotte Theater. We can't wait to dance the night away with all of you!
Escape Tactic Escape Room
ESCAPE WITH US...We cannot wait to escape into married life. For now though, we are so happy that you chose to celebrate the escape with us. "Unlock" some fun today at an escape room.
Puttery
"Putting" LOVE FIRST....we may not be golfers, but we surely found "hole in one happiness". Before you "swing" into fun at our reception, enjoy a visit to Puttery.
Topgolf Charlotte - Southwest
"FORE" Love....No need to buy those golf clubs because we have found the "top tier" of love and it's "driving our happiness". Enjoy a drive or two before swinging on the dance floor at our reception.
KID CASHEW
One of the best meals you could have in Charlotte and one of our favorite spots in the heart of Dilworth, the area we will soon call home. You have to try the Chilled Wood-Fired Beets!
Mama Ricotta's
Looking for a great dinner spot, maybe craving Italian...this is a must try place. We highly recommend picking up a pizza and take it Freedom Park for a picnic!
Angeline's
One of our favorite dates nights in the city included dinner at Angeline's. The cuisine is traditional Italian with a southern twist and the Whipped Ricotta might just make you want to move to Charlotte!
Optimist Hall
For our Atlanta folks, this is the Ponce City Market of Charlotte...fun food, great shops, and a nice space for kids to run around!
Ruby Sunshine
Amazing brunch spot, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, they have patio and indoor seating!
The Asbury
Top 10 upscale brunch spot in all of Charlotte, its actually right across the street from our reception venue!
