Alexander Homestead
My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Alexander Homestead, and we can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we toured the venue, we were blown away by its beauty and elegance. The staff were incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of and that our day went off without a hitch. The ceremony space was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and the perfect ambiance. The reception hall was just as impressive—spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a flawless evening.
The food was exceptional, with so many guests commenting on how delicious it was, and the service was impeccable. Every step of the planning process was made easier by the venue's team, who were supportive, organized, and genuinely excited to help us bring our vision to life. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate such an important day. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines luxury, beauty, and top-notch service, Alexander Homestead is the place to go! Thank you for making our day truly unforgettable!
Carolann and Joy are extremely experienced and knowledgable event coordinators who know how to handle anything and everything. The entire property is manicured beautifully and all the staff are professional, well dressed, and extremely kind. The owner Tirzah is so passionate about her work and so is her whole team. All of my guests LOVED the venue and had the best time. AH made planning my wedding so easy and I’m so thankful I had them during this process.
AH was the venue of our dreams. They were super thorough in providing great vendors, providing support, amazing communication (including answering 500 questions throughout the process), easing nerves for any hiccups on the day of the wedding and advocating for us. One of the most complimented things we heard from our guests was how beautiful the venue was, and how large and filling the food portions were, especially for a wedding!
We had the best wedding!! Our day was perfect, Danielle our coordinator, made sure everything ran smoothly. Loved working with this team!
Alexander Homestead is amazing. Their in-house planner and coordinator (Carolann) is incredible: extremely professional, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. They were receptive and respectful of our (many) requests and questions and guided us through the planning process seamlessly. They executed everything flawlessly on the big day and handled every detail, allowing us to truly enjoy our celebration. If you're looking for a stunning venue and an amazing planning experience, this is the place to be!
From beginning to end our experience was flawless. Nicole was our first point of contact and was so helpful throughout the tour and booking process. Carolann, our wedding coordinator was heaven-sent, she had great attention to detail and was always a step ahead. The entire wedding day flowed seamlessly and everyone in their staff went above and beyond.
Bonus points: the food was to die for and the venue photographs beautifully.
Alexander Homestead was the perfect wedding venue. I've passed by the main home seen from Sharon Amity all of my life and never knew one of Charlotte's best kept secret wedding venues was right in its backyard. After scheduling a tour and meeting the wonderful staff, we were blown away by the property and people. AH provides an in-service wedding planner, which was one of best things about booking them. Carolann and Danielle were incredible, provided us email/text reminders when milestones approached, and gave us confidence knowing we were going to be in great hands. They were fantastic to work with.
AH also provided in-house vendors, which was convenient. While you could choose to use an outside vendor (for a fee), we ended up going with almost all of their in-house vendors and services, because they were cost-effective and provided great service. From the DJ, Flowers, and the officiant, they were all awesome to work with.
On the wedding day itself, the wedding planners/staff made sure everything ran smoothly, and we can definitely say we were able to just enjoy our wedding day and not worry due to the amazing staff.
The property and venue is so scenic, from the gazebo and the main garden area to the barn yard/reception area, it made our wedding day so picturesque. Couldn't have asked for a better day.
We can't recommend Alexander Homestead enough for your wedding venue needs. 5/5
Carolann and the rest of the Alexander Homestead team took my fiance and I's dream and went above and beyond. Every little detail was thought out and planned so that the two of us had the most enjoyable, stress-free day. The venue is stunning and they have a plethora of amazing vendors to choose from. Carolann specifically stayed on her feet the entirety of our wedding always getting us what we needed before we could even ask! What stood out to my husband and I specifically was the second we got back down the aisle after saying 'I do,' the AH team had water and snacks for us which was much needed and appreciated!
Alexander Homestead was the perfect place for our wedding. From the start everyone was wonderful and the communication was fantastic. The venue being all inclusive was even better. The venue reached out to the vendors to inform the we booked, then the vendors reached out to me to begin scheduling meetings. It took so much weight off my shoulders. They day off the wedding was phenomenal. Danielle was our coordinator on site from the time we arrived to the time we left. She was there when we needed, and seemed to anticipate my needs before I could even verbalize them. She unbelievably nice and wholesome all day long. The day was perfect from start to finish and I attribute all that to Danielle. I've never had a more stress free day in my life. The venue was decorated beautifully. It was literally a wedding out of a dream. I have had multiple guests tell me the food was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. And the people who need accommodations for dietary restrictions said they were accommodated perfectly. If I had to do the day over I would not change a thing. It's been almost two weeks and my Husband and I still talk about how perfect the day was and how wonderful Danielle was to us. We loved every minute of it and would recommend Alexander Homestead to anyone getting married.
As mother of the bride I so appreciated Alexander Homestead! Tirzah and Carolann were amazing. I honestly felt like a guest and not the one throwing the party. AH took care of every detail, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. This was a beautiful venue and I highly recommend Alexander Homestead.
Danielle did an amazing job as the day of event coordinator. She truly brought all of the vendors together and made our wedding a seamless experience. The grounds were gorgeous with everything blooming.
My husband and I recently got married here and we could not recommend it enough! We had been to Alexander Homestead a few years ago for a friend’s wedding and really enjoyed the scenery and location. Alexander Homestead was the only venue we toured and it was an easy selection because they had everything we needed. We loved that mostly everything was done in house and that we just got to focus on the fun stuff. The team at Alexander Homestead have it down to a science and every single person there is amazing at what they do. Danielle was our day of coordinator and planner and she was phenomenal. From answering allll the anxious bride questions, getting us all where we needed to go, to fixing my bustle when it broke all throughout the night, Danielle and Alexander Homestead made our night one we won’t forget. Our guests also were raving about how wonderful of a venue it was and how nice the experience was as a guest. They truly make the experience amazing and they say they want you to feel like a “guest” at your own wedding, and we sure did.

Carolann and the team at Alexander Homestead were absolutely incredible throughout our entire wedding process! My husband and I got married just over one week ago and the experience felt flawless and better than we could have imagined. Carolann, our planner and day-of coordinator, truly deserves SO much recognition for her hard work. During the planning process, she was always quick to respond with a friendly and informative answer, and even made planning a wedding from a different state feel like a breeze! During the rehearsal and day of our wedding, she ensured everything ran smoothly, especially when it poured rain 30 minutes before our ceremony and she coordinated the rain plan set-up, which we ultimately did not need to use as we lucked out and it stopped raining and we were able to hold our ceremony in the BEAUTIFUL garden! The entire event flowed so beautifully, and I cannot recommend our experience with Alexander Homestead enough! The garden and barn spaces are stunning, the food was delicious, the in-house vendors they recommended (Mint Hill Flower Market, Sweet It Is!, Rick Bovey, and All the Right Grooves) were all amazing to work with, and of course the staff at Alexander Homestead was wonderful. Our wedding day was better than we could have dreamed, and we are so grateful we chose Alexander Homestead for our special day! (Photos taken by our wonderful photographer, Savvy Leigh Photography)
Alexander Homestead did a fantastic job with our wedding and I would definitely recommend them!
I cannot write a review GLOWING enough to fully capture how phenomenal our wedding day at Alexander Homestead was. I was a spring 2024 bride and was finishing up graduate school at the same time - and I really believe managing both things at once was only possible thanks to the amazing staff and vendors available through Alexander Homestead!
Carolann made the entire process SO simple and stress-free. Throughout all of planning, I felt like we just got to make the "fun decisions" without any of the stress, and that's thanks to the care that Carolann put into planning our day! I never felt worried whether things would go smoothly because of the expertise the AH team and vendors brought to the event. AH shares that they hope to make the wedding couple feel like guests at their own wedding, and that was absolutely the case for us.
The gardens were gorgeous, the food was amazing, the service was quick and professional, and all communications throughout the entire process were clear and timely. I recommend getting married here without hesitation! Big, lifelong thank you to Carolann and the AH team for ALL they did to make our wedding day so beautiful!
We had a Saturday brunch wedding here March 23rd and it was like a freaking fairy tale! My husband and I got engaged in January and decided to be married by March. AH takes care of EVERYTHING and not just mediocre vendors, they use high end, best of the best folks and I could not have had a more perfect and magical day with only 2 months of planning. It was raining during our ceremony and our coordinator Carolann gave the sweetest pep talk to our friends and family who charged to their seats in the rain like a Braveheart battle with cheers and all. The venue provided umbrellas and the rain stopped just in time for the actual ceremony. The grounds are gorgeous, the pictures are pretty but let me tell you, in person it's stunning. The florist they use should be in magazines, and I'm not kidding when I tell you at ALL of our guest went out of their way to tell us how GOOD the food was (which is so hard in the wedding space you know?!). Carolann had recommended we use their DJ and we opted to hire our own... honestly my only regret, and she did warn me! USE who they recommend, the vendors are all top notch and highly talented. My mom had coordinated the Tiger Mascot showing up (my Dad passed a few years ago but was the mascot at Clemson) to escort me down the aisle and was going to surprise me right before I walked by Carolann suggested doing a "first look" of sorts and I'm so glad she did because I bawled my eyes out. By ceremony time I was back fresh. Carolann is an actual talented goddess at this stuff and the AH staff are incredibly kind and helpful. You'd be silly to go anywhere else!
Our special day was March 15 and the team at Alexander Homestead Weddings made it the most smooth and stress free event. The hands-on and tentative staff made it so I could marry the love of my life and just enjoy the moment without having to be stressed. Definitely the best experience I could have asked for. The owner tirzah was truly a treat and has so much experience to guide us with creative input to make it truly special.
I wish I could leave ten stars.
I had the pleasure of taking photos for a March wedding. The weather was dicey and it misted ALL day, but the bride was determined to have an outside wedding. So the staff was prepared with umbrellas and towels to dry the seats. The rain stopped JUST in time.
The venue itself is gorgeous (and I was so excited to see tulips blooming). Their lead planner, Carolanne, was so friendly and professional and made sure that not only the bride, groom, their family and guests were taken care of but also checked in on me several times to make sure I didn’t need anything.
She made sure I was served lunch (and their in house catering made an AMAZING breakfast buffet - I’ve never had better shrimp and grits even on the coast) and the staff checked in on me while I was eating to make sure I was taken care of. I can promise you a venue who takes care of other vendors takes care of their clients even better.
The venue and lead planned were also in on a BIG surprise for the bride and we stayed in contact all day to pull it off seamlessly.
I can not say enough good things about the venue itself - from the gorgeous bridal suite and the cool and comfortable grooms cabin that allowed both the bride and groom to get ready with room for their friends to hang out to the absolutely stunning property.
Every staff member was polite and friendly. Their lead planner is an absolute pro (and had a timeline that flowed perfectly even with a last minute surprise from The Clemson Tiger and dicey weather).
11/10 recommend and I would absolutely get married here myself. I hope to be back soon. As nice as it was - it’s also incredibly photogenic! Win win in wedding photography world.
PS - you have to see the surprise the planner helped the mom pull off for the bride;

I don't think there's enough we could say about how incredible it was working with Alexander Homestead to make the wedding of our dreams into a reality. From the first meeting where they truly took an interest in our wedding vision, to wedding day where they made sure we felt like a guest. As someone who planned their wedding while also being a full time graduate student, I never had to stress about the small stuff because they had it taken care of. I feel so lucky to have found them, and would recommend them to anyone!
We held our reception at AH in November and it was a fabulous experience! Danielle and the whole staff made everything totally stress free; we did not worry about a single thing! We were able to focus on the party and celebrating our big day and our guests loved the atmosphere!
My wedding was seamless because of Alexander Homestead! The venue was beautiful and the team perfectly crafted our vision. Our coordinator Carolann was fantastic! We highly recommend having your wedding here! Not only was the space beautiful, but everyone who works there is helpful and kind during such an important time!
The venue is rustic and elegant which is exactly the mix we wanted. The outdoor space is gorgeous!! We even had our wedding in December and it was still perfect for pictures! They have tons of vendors they recommend that were also professional and did a phenomenal job! Alexander Homestead made our day magical and stress free!
As soon as my husband and I got engaged, we were immediately faced with this question, “Have you picked a date?!” It was exciting, but stressful to pick a wedding venue and choose a wedding date. AS SOON AS we toured the Alexander Homestead (with Nicole) we could instantly see ourselves getting married there.
We were impressed with EVERY vendor! It was chilling – the thought of getting married on a historic property in a garden with a string quartet was a dream come true!
From the start, their communication with me was personal and professional - a big thank you to Carolann for curbing my worries and holding my hand every step of the way! To secure this venue in our timeframe, we got married on a Monday evening in October 2022 and that turned out to be the best decision ever! By getting married on a Monday, it increased our vendor availability and made it more cost effective. This also gave our all our guests (98) time to come in the weekend prior. We held a welcome party on Saturday (at Optimist Hall) followed by a brewery night (at 4001 Yancey) that evening. On Sunday, we had our rehearsal in the afternoon at the AH and brought all our décor. Carolann walked us through the rehearsal so we would all know what to expect and where to go during the wedding ceremony. Sunday evening, we had our rehearsal dinner (at Rooster’s South Park) and a private rooftop soiree (at Le Meridien) Sunday night! By the time it came to our wedding day – I had already visited with most of my guests and could truly just focus on marrying my best friend and enjoying our wedding day the AH team worked so hard to put together for us both!
We choose to have a live quartet (Musically Yours - recommended by the HA team) during our ceremony and garden party which created the ultimate romantic garden vibe I wanted. Randall and Jayne Sprinkle (Musically Yours) worked with Scott and I to pick music that was meaningful to us – hearing them play during our wedding was just SO special to me!
After our wedding ceremony, Scott and I joined our photographer in the reception barn so we could have our first moments as husband and wife together, take a breath, have a snack, and see our wedding cake and table decorations before our guests filled the room. I am so glad we did this – it also gave me time to take off my heels and put my flats on! No matter where you get married – wear comfortable shoes and make sure you carve out some time for you and your spouse!
There is NO bad place to take a photo at this venue and our photographer (Haylie Noelle Photography) and videographer (Shamus Coneys) captured all the beautiful details of the Alexander Homestead in our wedding photos/videos. We used Rose Transportation to drop off/pick up all our guests. It was so convenient to have everything for our wedding at one location (this can be a BIG time saver too).
We were recommended to use their DJ (“All The Right Grooves”) and we are SO glad we did!! Jill was fantastic to work with and brought big energy to our reception!! The AH venue had everything that was important to us, and the AH team was able to bring our wedding day vision to life! Carolann was the best wedding day coordinator I could have asked for – she was always within eye gaze and made sure every transition and part of the wedding went smoothly.
Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, and I will be FOREVER GRATEFUL to every hand and heart that went into making our wedding day perfect for the two of us.
I can’t say enough of what a wonderful venue AH is!!!!
Our son and daughter in law were married at Alexander Homestead in October. They made most of the plans and though we were involved in the ceremony and reception, we were not so much involved in planning. However we were amazed how well everything ran. AH staff was completely “on it”… every detail completely tended to with an exceptional coordinator!! Thousand stars for this place !!!
(Also we were guests just 3 weeks later and same… it was amazing … from food to DJ to set up etc. we had a blast )
We recently got married at Alexander Homestead November 4th and honestly, the process couldn’t have been easier. This is definitely a place to go if you don’t want to hire a wedding planner because they’ve got it covered. That being said, they do give you the option to make it your own as much as possible so you don’t feel like you’ve got a cookie cutter wedding. The staff also goes above and beyond to make sure you feel heard and reassured. As much of a ball of nerves I was, I had ALOT of questions and our coordinator, Danielle, answered all of them… probably twice lol. The venue is stunning and it can accommodate both large and small weddings. lastly, they are open and honest about pricing from the very beginning. There was never any surprise costs at the end. We knew all the costs (including tax) from the initial appointment with the venue. I highly recommend this place to any couple who wants easy wedding planning. They’ve got a perfect location in the city, amazing staff, and Beautiful venue!!
We held our son’s wedding at Alexander Homestead. This wasn’t our first wedding in the family and wow- what an amazing experience! The venue is not only stunning but can be as little or as much of a one stop experience as you would like and at comparable or sometimes lower pricing than you could get on your own. First, you aren’t wasting resources trying to make a banquet room presentable as the grounds and facilities are absolutely stunning. They allow a bridal session before the wedding so that is an added bonus. Pictures and social media posts were gorgeous. Our planner made everything run smoothly and alleviated stress while making sure things ran smoothly down to every detail! Food was fantastic and what a presentation to have the barn doors open and close for the buffet! We had misting rain in the morning and that would have been no issue had it continued. I just can’t rave enough! And literally every guest commented on the venue and the staff! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this gem!
Alexander Homestead brought our dream wedding to life! We were looking for a venue that was all-inclusive and that would handle the heavy lifting and Alexander Homestead is the perfect venue if this is what you are looking for! The venue takes care of everything from the napkins, tables, and decor to the food and ceremony. The best perk of working with Alexander Homestead is having your own wedding coordinator/event manager that handles everything for you leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding. Our even manager was Carolann and she was fantastic! She was a pleasure to work with and made sure that our wedding went off without a hitch! We are truly grateful for the work she put into into making our wedding day so special.
Alexander Homestead and their amazing team made our day so amazing. Planning and meeting with them was super easy and they were flexible with our schedule. Their preferred vendors that we chose to use were amazing (DJ and catering) and I’m sure the others they recommend are great too. We did a lot of DIY for our event and they were very accommodating with that choice. Our day of coordinator was amazing and the day of was an absolute dream come true. We really felt like guests at our own wedding and we got so many complements from our guests about how amazing and beautiful the venue was. Pricing for the event felt very fair compared to some of the options out there especially considering everything that is included. They are very upfront with costs at before anything gets signed so I definitely recommend at least doing a tour and hearing what they have to offer. I also recommend this if you’re not a big planner since they do so much of that for you.
We were SO happy we chose this venue for our wedding! Carolann was incredible to work with. She was very easygoing and flexible and helpful throughout the process with amazing communication. The whole team is wonderful and super friendly as well, the planning process is very straightforward and organized, and our actual wedding day was an absolute dream. We were able to completely relax during the wedding day and everything was perfect, our families said it was so well put together too and they were all able to enjoy themselves just as much as we did! We highly recommend choosing here, we appreciated them so much, and you will not regret this stunning venue! :))) THANK YOU!
The best experience we could have ever asked for! After looking at over 10 different venues in the Charlotte area we came across Alexander Homestead and fell in love with the venue, wedding planning process, and incredible staff. Carolanne was our planning and day of coordinator and took care of every detail and more, making the wedding planning process as stress free as possible. She is absolutely fantastic and so wonderful to work with! We wouldn’t have changed a thing - cannot say enough about how much we love this venue and team!
Couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding! AH was so friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our entire wedding process. Every question (and I have a LOT of them) was answered with patience and kindness, every single detail we asked for was accommodated, and on the day of - everything went smoothly thanks to our coordinator, Danielle. She said the goal was to make us feel like guests at our own wedding and we absolutely did. We've been getting constant compliments and questions from people about how we found our venue. Couldn't recommend a better spot for your wedding!
I was the photographer for a wedding at AH last weekend and while this was my first time photographing a wedding there, I surely hope it is not my last! The team at AH was fantastic to work with, and Danielle was extremely accommodating, and the entire experience as a vendor was great.
I can’t express enough how much I love Alexander Homestead! I fell in love with the venue the moment I saw it. It is a hidden gem in Charlotte. Carolann, my wedding coordinator is absolutely phenomenal and her and her staff blew everyone away at the wedding! I got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the staff were; they took care of everything and made the night truly wonderful and a dream come true! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone! They also do events throughout the year, including a Christmas event. They allow couples to come to events even after they get married. They want everyone to feel welcome and like part of the family. Thank you for making my dream come true and for such a wonderful venue, there really is nothing else like it!
Alexander Homestead is the WHOLE PACKAGE. It's a beautiful venue that holds the ceremony and reception at the same place. It's one less thing you have to worry about when you have a lot of guests. It was a perfect hybrid of indoor-outdoor. The grounds are kept beautifully with flowers and a small stream.
The historic houses on the property are gorgeous without taking attention away from the wedding itself. I was able to rent the bridal suite in the morning to get ready with my bridesmaids and the moms, then have an evening ceremony and reception. The house was clean and ready to go when we got there. Water and pastries were provided. Plenty of hooks for hangers, a space for hair and makeup, and our own bathroom.
The partner vendors was one of the best parts of AH. Our florist, baker for the cake, and DJ were partners with the venue and went beyond expectations. The flowers with Pink Petunia were gorgeous and perfectly matched our colors (blue and purple flowers are hard to come by). The flowers at the altar and for the centerpieces were stunning. The cake by Sweet It Is was just as pretty and so delicious. Lori nailed the look we wanted and the cake was moist and not overly-sweet. Bethany brought the energy throughout the whole night from announcing our grand entrance to choosing the perfect songs to keep everyone on the dancefloor. She also did an amazing job going on the fly with some of our announcement requests. Dinner was done by AH and was plated, so no one had to get up. The staff did an amazing job not only getting plates in and out, but the food was so delicious.
The Alexander Homestead team from Rick, our officiant with the perfect rendition of our "love story", to Danielle, our day-of-coordinator, made the perfect day. Everything ran so smoothly. Danielle was on top of everything and covered everything I missed. She had the perfect balance of a commanding presence and the gentle touch to keep things moving forward. She answered all of my questions, got all of our decor that we brought set up for us, and got last second snags taken care of within minutes. Also a huge thank you to Carolann for helping us plan during the year leading up to the wedding. My husband and I are both in the military and had to do all of our meetings virtually with the venue and all of the vendors. With us in three different time zones, AH and the vendors were able to make it work, and I couldn't be more thankful. I've gotten so many compliments on the ceremony, reception, the venue, the service, and the whole experience from friends and family.
I'm usually one to say, "I wish ___ had gone differently," but I can whole-heartedly say that the AH team made our wedding day perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you guys so much for making this a special day for us to look fondly on.
My husband and I had a great experience using Alexander Homestead for our wedding. Danielle and the staff were so helpful and friendly which made our stress levels reduce significantly. They made planning a wedding, while maintaining our busy life style, practical with limited stress.
As a wedding photographer, I love working with Alexander Homestead and their whole team. Everyone is great at communicating before, during and post-wedding. The property itself is stunning and always so perfectly maintained. If you're a couple looking for a gorgeous garden wedding - this is the venue for you. I always love when I book a couple who is getting married at Alexander Homestead!
What a fantastic wedding venue! Danielle and her team are absolutely first class and they made planning my daughter’s wedding so easy and stress free. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we stepped on the beautiful grounds and our families did too. Everything was just perfect and we couldn’t ask for anything better. A huge thank you to Danielle and everyone at the Alexander Homestead for making us feel so welcome and taking care of every little detail. Alexander Homestead will always have a special place in our family’s hearts. Love and thanks! Beth Sharpe, Mother of the Bride
We are incredibly grateful to Alexander Homestead for making our dream wedding a reality on April 22, 2023. Planning remotely from Seattle, our brunch wedding was nothing short of perfection. The team's impeccable communication, responsiveness, and attention to detail made us feel involved and supported throughout the entire process.
We were fortunate to work closely with Carolann, our exceptional event planner. Despite the physical distance, she made us feel like her top priority from day one. Her professionalism, warmth, and meticulous attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our wedding planning journey. Carolann's expertise and personal touch ensured that our vision came to life flawlessly.
The Alexander Homestead team perfectly blended their expertise, honed from countless weddings, with a genuine personal touch that made us feel like the only couple in the world.
It's easy to imagine that in such a popular venue, one might feel like just another couple in a long line of weddings being churned out every year- that was my fear. However, that was not the experience with AH. We were treated with the utmost care and individuality, as if our celebration was the pinnacle of their day. We never felt like just another event on their calendar. They never failed to listen attentively to our ideas and preferences, making us feel truly special and ensuring that our wedding was uniquely tailored to us.
The venue is just as breathtaking in person as it looks in pictures. The beautifully manicured gardens, charming details, and elegant architecture created a romantic ambiance that was picture perfect. The moment our guests arrived, they were captivated by the venue's timeless beauty. It provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception.
Throughout the entire event, the staff at Alexander Homestead worked tirelessly to ensure that everything ran smoothly. They anticipated our needs before we even realized them ourselves. The professionalism, friendliness, and expertise of the team were truly remarkable, making us feel like royalty on our special day.
The venue exceeded our expectations in every way, leaving us with cherished memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. We cannot express enough gratitude to the entire team at Alexander Homestead for their commitment to excellence and their passion for creating unforgettable memories. Our brunch wedding was nothing short of perfection, and we wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking to create their own dream wedding.
We just had our reception at AH a couple of weeks ago on 4/30 and we can't say enough about how grateful we are to have chosen AH and their partner vendors! They truly made our wedding day perfect! We had a lot of logistics involved in our big day, as we got ready in the AH bridal suite/grooms cabin that morning, had the ceremony at our nearby church, and then returned to AH for our garden party/reception. Carolann, Sharon Elisabeth Photography, Jody from Pink Petunia, the team at Sweet It Is, and Bethany at All the Right Grooves all coordinated our day so seamlessly that there was zero stress and so much joy! We've had SO many of our guests comment on how beautiful and how much fun our wedding/reception was and that is certainly due to the professionalism of Carolann and the AH team. I would highly recommend going with as many of AH's recommended partner vendors as possible, as they are all exceptional. My husband and I did a few unique things at our reception (including reading our vows since we could not do this during our Orthodox ceremony) and Carolann and the team were so very helpful in making our vision happen perfectly! You will not regret your decision to go with AH. They truly do make the wedding planning process so simple, fun, and customized to fit you! We are proud to be part of the AH family.
Alexander Homestead was amazing!!!! Carolann catered to all my daughter’s needs on her wedding day. She was thorough and always attentive to not only my daughter , but everyone in the wedding and the guest and she always did everything with a smile!
My daughter was married at this venue this past Saturday. The entire experience was fabulous from the planning meeting until we were loading everything in my car after the bride and groom left on their wedding night. They know what they are doing and anticipate every detail. I am a very organized person with a strong planning background and Carolann was always a step ahead of me. Throughout the planning process my daughter and I kept thinking we were missing something that we should be stressed about because it just seemed too seamless. But it really was and the wedding was everything my daughter had dreamed of and was the best day of her entire life! And on top of that, the place is absolutely gorgeous!!
I wish we (my husband and I) could rate 6 stars to this venue, and, even if we could, is not enough for the Amazing service and great staff of Alexander Homestead.
The place is gorgeous, the staff is super friendly, they take care of every little and single detail for you, so you don't have to worry at all in your Special Day.
Don't look anywhere else, this is the Perfect Venue for you; beautiful, good and affordable!!!
We got married here on April 29, 2023. We can’t say enough great things about Alexander Homestead. They do a fantastic job of making you feel like a guest at your own wedding. Once we got to the venue day of the wedding we did not have to worry about anything. Carolann and our day of coordinator, Danielle, were very helpful answering all of our questions and concerns throughout the whole process. Danielle made our wedding day so easy and stress free. We would highly recommend getting married here. All of the partner vendors were amazing. The venue is so beautiful and stunning any time of the year. Many of our guest said this was the best wedding venue they have been to.
We had our wedding yesterday. I can’t say enough about this venue and the team that works here. Our whole engagement was stress free due to the all inclusive nature. Every question I had was answered promptly during the whole planning period. Our coordinator Carolann made this the most beautiful day and everything we hoped for and more! I don’t think one thing went wrong the whole day. It was simply the best day ever and our guests can’t stop speaking about how beautiful the space was!
We had the best experience having our wedding at Alexander Homestead, I can’t imagine it being any other way. My husband and I toured the venue in January 2023 and instantly fell in love. We originally went into the wedding planning process looking for a fall 2024 date. Alexander Homestead had an available date in April 2023 and the team was able to make our wedding happen within 3 months. When they say “stress-free” it really is. Carolann is an amazing event manager and she had every detail taken care of. There was a 90% chance of rain in the forecast for our big day and she went through our options for the rain plan and we were confident in trusting her that we would have a beautiful ceremony - and it was! We used the partner vendors and it was so incredible to connect with them and move forward with our details. We had a wonderful experience working with Nicole during the site tour and sales portion to make sure that we knew all of our options so we could make the best selections for us. Thank you to the entire Alexander Homestead event team for creating the memories that will last a lifetime!
Highly recommend booking Alexander Homestead as your wedding venue! Planning was easy even though we live out of state, and Carolann was so helpful in answering all of our questions and planning each detail along the way. She was a godsend on the day of, too - always making sure we had everything we needed and calming our nerves about the small stuff!! The grounds are stunning and the blooming gardens were the cherry on top for our wedding photos.
I cannot say enough great things about Alexander Homestead! This was the first venue my husband and I looked at, and we were in love with it from the moment we arrived. Carolann and her staff are the best in the business. It ended up raining on our wedding day and Carolann went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. I was a little hesitant about the rain plan (because I loved the gardens and really wanted an outdoor ceremony) but Carolann reassured me at every step of the way and made sure the indoor Pool ceremony was just as beautiful as an outdoor ceremony would’ve been. They have the best partner vendors and make the wedding planning process as easy and stress free as possible.
Carolann and staff were absolutely amazing. The planning process was seamless. Venue is beautiful and the brunch was delicious! Our wedding was perfect and I have zero complaints!! Glad we chose this as our venue. 10/10 recommend.
Carolann and the staff of Alexander Homestead are top notch. We held a fundraising event (not a wedding) at this venue and could not have been happier. The indoor and outdoor spaces are gorgeous, the food was delicious, every detail was handled, the staff is responsive, knowledgeable and great to work with. We did not have to worry about a thing. I would choose Alexander Homestead for a wedding or another event without hesitation. Thanks to the staff of AH for helping us host a great event!! We would love to work with you again.
Carolann, I want to take a moment and let you know you are amazing. This wedding was absolutely perfect. I am the Aunt of the Bride. We traveled from Georgia to spend a wonderful weekend that you made possible. I’ve never seen my sister so calm and knowing she was stress free made me happy. She had nothing but praise for you and the entire team. I am thankful for your hard work.
As a guest and a very proud Aunt I want to say thank you. The cake was so delicious, we loved the DJ and the photographers were so patient and fun to be with. I can’t give enough praise for AH. Thank you
As mother of the bride (who lives in another state), there is no way I can adequately express in one paragraph what an incredible experience we, our families and guests had at AH! Our daughter and her fiance' toured many venues in the area and not one was as organized or responsive as AH. From that initial tour to the grand exit, every aspect of AH was perfection. After the first meeting with the event coordinator, Carolann, we knew we were in capable hands, and we breathed a sigh of relief! She was always available to our daughter and to us, and quick to respond to our questions and requests. She checked in regularly with our daughter from the beginning, and even more so as the wedding drew closer. She helped with recommendations and ideas, but was never pushy. She was patient, kind, and lots of fun, too! She ran everyone through a quick, efficient rehearsal the day before, and we all felt confident that we'd be in the right spots the next day. Our daughter felt every AH vendor she worked with(baker, florist, dj and photographer) was professional and helpful to her. Being new to town, she and her fiance' hadn't established a church home yet, so AH's minister met with them in advance, got to know them, gave them pre-marital counseling, and on wedding day officiated a special and personalized (even crowd-pleasing) ceremony! The bridal dressing suite for the girls was spacious and well-appointed. The grounds were breathtakingly beautiful for the ceremony outside, and the reception hall was equally lovely. We loved the variety of selections for both food and beverages. Our guests enjoyed spritzers and appetizers in the garden while they waited for the bridal party and family to take pictures. At the reception, the dinner buffet was plentiful, delicious, and hot (the plates had even been warmed!). We also enjoyed stepping outside to the firepit when we weren't on the dance floor. The flow with which Carolann and the DJ moved the program from one moment to the next was flawless, and the staff could not do enough for us and our guests. They ALL seemed happy to be there and made us feel they were celebrating with us! We felt honored and special to be treated so kindly. So many of our guests commented that the bride and groom looked happy and stress-free, and they were! Truly the only negative thing we could say was that we were sorry it had to end! Our daughter and her husband had a beautiful ceremony and a blast with their friends and family. What a wonderful start to married life! This mama (and her dad) sends heartfelt love and thanks to Carolann and the team at Alexander Homestead - You are a blessing to those who begin their "forevers" in your sanctuary!
Alexander Homestead is not only a beautiful venue, but is made up of owners and team members who are professional, organized, and welcoming! They provide top notch service to clients and are committed to charitably serving the surrounding community! I can’t recommend this venue enough!!
A great venue!
The Alexander Homestead team goes above & beyond for you. I highly recommend Alexander Homestead for your wedding! <3
Thomas and I used Alexander Homestead for our reception venue following our ceremony at our church. It was seamlessly smooth, nothing but fun, and the time went by so quickly! They took care of everything we asked for and anticipated all of our needs throughout the evening. We were able to sit back and enjoy our party without worrying about anything!
My wedding was amazing! There was a bit of a HURRICANE scare but Joy had us on track for any situation. The weather ended up clearing out and we enjoyed every aspect of what Alexander Homestead had to offer. My guest LOVED the venue and we could not have asked for a better venue and day of planner with Joy. We also used delish cakery which is a preferred vendor of AH and the cake was beyond the best! You will not be disappointed with AH! Book now!
Working with the team at Alexander Homestead has been wonderful from the start. We contracted with AH in 2021 for our 2022 wedding, and each person we've worked with over the past year has been so gracious, patient, and genuine, and each member truly went above and beyond to make the day as lovely as it was and made us feel so special - including their partnered vendors that we worked with (Delish, All the Right Grooves, & Pink Petunia). Carolann was our fantastic coordinator, and even with all the tiny details we thought of as the day got closer (and the many emails), she made sure to make it all happen. There were so many details that we didn't even have to think about that were completely handled by Carolann & the AH team, and it made our already-chaotic year feel much less stressful.
Our biggest fear about working with an all-inclusive venue was feeling like our day would be "cookie cutter," but the AH team was more than happy to integrate all the tiny things we wanted to do to customize our day. It was truly a perfect blend of traditional + personalized. We are incredibly grateful.
Additionally, a month before the wedding, they announced a bridal suite package that let us get ready on-site, and I am so grateful it worked out that way. The weeks leading up to the announcement, my biggest stressor was trying to find a reasonably priced nice hotel to get ready at, figuring out transportation + timing, and figuring out how my friends that joined me for the morning of would get back to their cars after the night was done. Getting ready on-site the morning of made everything 1000% easier for us, and it let us truly relax and not be stressed for time since we didn't have to plan around travel times, traffic, transportation service delays, etc..
The only thing we wish could be different would be that we wish the buffet could stay open for longer. We were only halfway through our meals and they were already announcing they were closing soon, so we & our guests felt a little rushed. However, we were a little bit behind on schedule because of photo/video, so we understand that they needed to keep the schedule moving! But otherwise, we were extremely happy with everything (and the food was fantastic). All of our guests were extremely impressed with how smoothly the timeline occurred on their end, and everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you, AH, for making our wedding day a truly special celebration!
Carolann and the whole AH family made our wedding so magical! They handled the rain and change of plans with grace and made sure our day was just as special inside as it would have been out. They made everything so easy and we were able to truly enjoy our day knowing that Carolann had it all under control. Our guests were constantly saying how smoothly things were running and that it was one of the most well organized weddings they had been to. We cannot thank or recommend Alexander Homestead enough! ❤️
We are so beyond grateful for Alexander Homestead and their amazing team. My husband and I were married at this stunning storybook garden venue in September and it was everything and more then we ever dreamed. They helped us through every step of the way and made sure everything was perfect on our special day. Down to the last detail. They were so incredibly supportive through every twist and turn of wedding planning and brought so much relief through every stressful decision. It is evident that they put their entire hearts into their work. I can wholeheartedly say you will be in the best hands. Trusting Alexander Homestead’s team with our wedding was the best decision we could have ever made! Thank you to everyone from this beautiful team that played a part in helping Adin & I have our new beginning. Words fail to express how much it all means. A million thank you’s to our day-of-coordinator Carolann for your guidance, kindness, patience through the entire process. You’re AMAZING. Thank you so much to Tirzah💜, Nicole💜, Danielle💜, our awe-inspiring Florist, Jody with Pink Petunia Designs 🦋🌸, our DJ, All the Right Grooves 🎼 , and to EVERYONE and every department that helped make our day as special as it was.
-Elyani & Adin Garcia
I could not have asked for a better venue and staff. Everyone at Alexander helped to make my day so beautiful, absolutely perfect, and a day I will never forget. The entire process was very easy from the get-go and all of the staff made sure I was completely happy with every decision - they are all very responsive, patient, and personable. I would like to give a huge compliment to Joy Greer. She is a TOTAL rockstar. She talked me through every question (silly or not), made sure I was happy with every decision, she knew my family and bridal party by name, and remained calm, cool, and collected through it all. She absolutely was a MAJOR part in making this day the best of our lives. The entire staff was so polite, fun, and had smiles on their faces the entire night. I got so many compliments from friends and family about all of the staff here as well as how beautiful the venue was in general. I had a vision for this day and Alexander Homestead exceeded my expectations. I wish I could relive that night just one more time. I could not recommend this place more.
Alexander Homestead is a beautiful rustic venue, with a beautiful garden and barn. Danielle Dolson coordinated the day perfectly. As a bride I was calm, cool and collected and able to enjoy the day. All the guests loved the food and had an amazing time. The vendors are amazing too!!!
Aryn Keogh at Delish Cakery made the day delicious.
Jody Watson at Pink Petunia made the day beautiful.
Jill Phillips at All the Right Grooves DJ Services made it a party.
Sharon Albright captured memories we will cherish forever.
It was the best day ever, thank you all so much!!!
