MAIN Party Ideas Weddings Wedding Receptions North Carolina

Planning a wedding and reception with warm southern charm in North Carolina? Whether it's formal or casual, indoor or outdoor, North Carolina has everything you need to make your wedding one to remember.

From Charlotte to Raleigh Durham — and indeed throughout the North Carolina — you'll find some of America's top choices in hotels and resorts, country clubs, catering and reception halls.

However, also keep in mind unusual NC reception venues like historic manors, museums, art galleries, parks and gardens, and even boat cruises. While traditional venues like hotel ballrooms have staff with the most experience in pulling off a fancy wedding reception "package", the extra effort in finding a venue that reflects your unique style may be well worth it.

If choosing out-of-the-ordinary locations that offer wedding reception space, be prepared to work with an event coordinator who has experience in connecting you with trusted outside vendors.

These might include everything from caterers to local DJs or limo services, or even the expert advice of a wedding planner on staff.

If this is the case, don't be afraid to express what you want, but then sit back and let them guide you to the wedding reception of your dreams!
