Country Club of the Carolinas

the experience a breeze! The venue included everything we could have ever wanted (in-house coordinator, appetizers, main course, champagne toast, bar service, waiters, silverware/place settings, easels/lanterns/candelabras/other decorations, etc.), and they set up and tore down for us! Pam had worked previously with almost all of our vendors, and she made sure that the evening went by without a single hitch. The food was ridiculously good (our friends are still raving), and the Christmas decorations that were already set up made it so that any flowers we added were just icing on the cake! I know we're biased, but this was absolutely the best wedding my husband and I have ever been to. We can't wait to recommend Firethorne to all of our friends!!

bridal party was great, and the staff is top notch. The food and drink packages are a great deal as well! Can't recommend enough.

erything ran smoothly. She has been with Firethorne for a long time and knows all the ins and outs of that place! The outdoor ceremony was set up perfectly by Firethorne staff. The grounds were beautiful for pictures. The veranda was an awesome spot for cocktail hour. The indoor reception area was spacious and beautiful. We hardly needed any decor. The dance floor was a large permanent fixture. It was a bit costly at around 14K for 140 guests, but I was very pleased with everything. The food, which was buffet style, was delicious as well. Many people commented on how great the food was. I would definitely recommend this venue for a picturesque outdoor wedding and indoor reception. If you want things done right (and I am a perfectionist), Firethorne is the place for you!

s THE BEST. Leading up to the wedding she was always available to answer questions about the space and the planning process. Having her on site the day of the wedding to organize all of the set up, keep everyone on time (staff, vendors, and wedding party) and even tell us when to walk down the aisle made for the most stress free day I have ever had! I cannot think of a single thing that slipped by her, and it was so nice to have someone handling all of the questions that normally would be getting asked of the bride. The rest of the Firethorne staff was also incredibly friendly, professional, and fun, and the food was AMAZING. Firethorne Country Club is definitely the place to book if you want a beautiful and stress free wedding!

ideas. We wanted a place that was inviting, where people would feel comfortable, had great food, and great service. Firethorne did not disappoint. If you want a rustic country club feel with great food, fantastic service, and an amazing event coordinator this is the place to go!

rked hard to make sure everything went off without a hitch. And every single person who worked at Firethorne that day was kind and incredibly helpful, from the servers to the bartenders to the kitchen staff. You really can't ask for a better venue than Firethorne. It was absolutely beautiful and makes for incredible pictures. To top it off, the food is fantastic. We have received nothing but compliments from friends and family who attended our wedding. I would recommend this place to anyone planning a wedding in Charlotte. I felt it was reasonably priced for everything that was included. It was also so nice to not have to worry about hiring vendors for food and drinks. Thanks again to Pam and her wonderful team at Firethorne! Our day went perfectly because of you all!

use of all of her work! Multiple guests commented on how awesome the venue was.

icious! Best of all is PAM! She was like getting a wedding planner for free. She helped me with everything and coordinated the entire day. AND for all this the pricing was very reasonable.

ure everything runs smoothly. Our night was flawless. The space is great and they know how to make the most of it. The outdoor space is amazing for pictures and for overflow of the party. The huge bar is an asset for big parties. The plated meal was smooth, and the food was delicious. Very impressed and happy with my choice for my wedding in August 2012.

I visited my 31st potential venue. FireThorne Country Club. I knew that this was the venue for me. Even, my fiance (now Husband).... was excited about this venue. We met up with Pam Hart. There's only one word to sum up Pam..... AMAZING! Not only was my husband and I in love with the venue, but we absolutely loved Pam. Pam was so flexible and her customer service is the best that I had ever experienced in life. I was a bride that had a million and one questions, and Pam was always responsive. I thought that I was the only wedding that they had planned all year. At least that's how you feel. She allowed me to make tweaks to the meal. Speaking of the meal.... The cocktail hour and reception food was soooo good. I am getting hungry just thinking about it now. lol I plan on putting a gallery of pictures from the wedding on to a website. Brides, feel free to email me thru wedding wire and i would be more than happy to show you my setup for the wedding. My wedding was the most magical day ever. FireThorne County Club and Pam Hart (and my husband) were the key components in making that day special!!!!

oney saver!) but if you do want to do any decor they have a huge supply closet filled with tons of vases/candles/etc. that are leftover from previous weddings that you can use any or all of - for free! The event director is so laid back and easy to work with. She and her staff take all the worry and stress out of planning an amazing event! The bar area is gorgeous and opens to a patio overlooking the golf course. Perfect for cocktail hour before dinner with a great sunset view. AMAZING photography places everywhere! Very fairy tale like stone staircase and arches. Inside is open with high wooden arches. Playroom upstairs for children, etc. or could be used for bridal room. Prices were very reasonable and the menu is able to be extremely customized. My husband is from India and his family has very specific dietary restrictions. We wanted a mix of classic Indian dishes but also options for non-adventurous eaters. We sent a list of recipes and came in for a tasting. The Italian chef did an awesome job at pulling off Indian dishes that the in-laws said tasted like home! They even made a separate dish for his mom accommodating her dietary needs. They don't have valet parking but have a drop off area at the door and tons of parking close by. Coat check room and assistant. Wait staff was great. Everything went so smoothly and seamlessly. I definitely recommend everything about this place for a wedding reception. I didn't do my ceremony there because I wanted a church. But they have a beautiful set up for an outdoor wedding. You do not need to be a member of the club to use the facility. And your guests can get discounted rates if anyone wants to play a round of golf! Great activity for the guys and dads while the girls are doing spa activities and getting ready!

bar service were great. Pam (the director) and your staff did a wonderful job. Thank you and please let your staff know that they performed in an extraordinary manner. We look forward to having future events at the Firethorne.

statement, stone fireplace. They have an absolute gorgeous stone staircase leading down to the outside gazebo, where any bride would feel incredible walking into her wedding ceremony. The staff was very friendly, which I didn’t realize how important that was until I recently went to another a country club wedding and they weren’t friendly at all. They worked with me on every detail such as picking out the food, drinks, cake stands, and lots of décor they had available for me to use such as table cloths and centerpieces. This Country Club really stands out from the others because it has a warm and cozy feel, but still maintains its modern feel. I loved this place for our ceremony and reception and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to get married.
