Things To Do

Make it a weekend getaway!

We know this is a destination for many of our guests, and we’re so excited to share a place that means a lot to us. If you’re looking to make a weekend out of it, Charlotte and the surrounding area (including Rock Hill!) is a perfect spot for a fun, easy getaway. The region is known for its mix of beautiful outdoor spaces, adventurous activities, great food, and vibrant nightlife. There’s something for everyone! Here are some of our favorite local highlights:

U.S. National Whitewater Center

5000 Whitewater Center Parkway, Charlotte, NC 28214

An absolute must for adventure lovers. There’s whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, ziplining, mountain biking, and more. They also host outdoor yoga and live music on weekends. Great for a group outing or just spending a few hours in nature with a bit of a thrill.

Freedom Park

1908 East Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28203

A peaceful, scenic spot just outside of Uptown Charlotte. Think Central Park vibes with walking trails, a lake, picnic spots, and plenty of space to just relax or toss a frisbee.

South Park Mall

4400 Sharon Road, Charlotte, NC 28211

SouthPark Mall is Charlotte’s high-end shopping hub with everything from Nordstrom to local boutiques and great restaurants.

Breweries We Love

Charlotte has an awesome craft beer scene, and here are a few spots we’d recommend checking out:

Sycamore

2151 Hawkins Street, Charlotte, NC 28203

Huge outdoor space, live music, great beer variety, and a fun, social atmosphere.

NoDa Brewing Company

150 West 32nd Street, Charlotte, NC 28206

A local favorite with creative small-batch brews and a laid-back taproom vibe.

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery & Biergarten

4150 Yancey Road, Charlotte, NC 28217

German-style beer garden vibes with fantastic food and wide open outdoor seating.

We hope you’ll enjoy exploring the area and turning the wedding weekend into a mini-vacation!
