I gave up on a Charlotte location and went with Lake Lure You may have to go a lil outside of Charlotte but best of luck to you! Its always the tax and gratuity and all those hidden costs!
Hello C/D family. My girlfriend and I are planning a wedding and trying to do so on a budget. If you know of any caterers that offer reasonable prices that will help. Also, wedding planners will be nice as well. Pretty much if you any advice or contacts for everything that will be nice. We're looking at 200 people for the reception. Thanks to all who can assist.
They rent the industrial kitchen and office space from St. Peter's Episcopal so they might have some advise for that space or others.
My gf was actually talking about them. I will definitely look at them. We will more than likely have the ceremony at my church and just need a venue for the reception. My budget is for a maximum of $10k.

Start with the Gastonia Conference Center. It's brand new & a lovely building. If it's not during the DNC they would probably work with you.
A good bet for an inexpensive reception is a restaurant, rather than a private place that rents out for banquest/special events. Then you won't get charged for every plate, glass, fork, spoon, etc.
My fiance and I thought about Pewter Rose, located on South Blvd near East Blvd. It's a very pretty restaurant (wouldn't need much in terms of decoration), they will close the entire restaurant for private parties, and their rates are reasonable. There might even be room for dancing/DJ. Maybe worth checking out.
Thanks for the suggestions. We've skimmed down to 150 guests and want to keep everything below $7k. If the reception were at a restaurant, would that be possible?

I am going to give you news you probably dont want to hear but no, you can not do a wedding for 150 people for $7k. Not at a venue, not at a restuarant, btu maybe in someone's backyard. Catering food will be almost $5k just for the food. That's not icluding liquor if you were going to have drinks. That doesnt include her dress, dress alterations, tux rental, hair/makeup, decorations, boquets, centerpieces, weddings bands, guest book, flower girl basket, favors, etc. I am in the same boat.
