ughtful in helping bring our vision to life.
The reception space was the perfect size for our 115-person guest list, feeling spacious without losing that warm, intimate atmosphere. The newly updated outdoor patio was an ideal ceremony location, and the golf course provided a stunning backdrop for our photos. There are so many picturesque spots throughout the property, both indoors and outdoors, that made our photo gallery absolutely beautiful.
Overall, Longview exceeded every expectation — from the gorgeous grounds to the exceptional food and the kind, professional staff. It’s truly a breathtaking venue, and we’re so grateful we chose it for our wedding day.

Our venue was absolutely incredible from start to finish! After having a really disappointing experience with Champagne Manor and needing to find a new venue, we were nervous about...
starting over — but this team completely turned everything around for us. Their communication, organization, and kindness made the entire process so smooth and stress-free. They truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and that we felt supported every step of the way. Our wedding day ran flawlessly, and it was everything we could have hoped for (and more). We are so grateful to the entire team for making our dream wedding come to life!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Club at Longview and it was everything we dreamed of and more. Our day was perfect from beginning to end! From the moment...
we toured the space, we were blown away by the beautiful setting, including the beautiful green lawns, indoor decor, outdoor patio and lounges. The venue itself was stunning and required minimal decoration because it was already so picturesque.
The staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Shelby was incredibly responsive, organized, and supportive every step of the way. They made sure the day ran smoothly and handled any last-minute changes without stress.
Our guests are still raving about the food, atmosphere, and overall experience. The combination of ambience, scenery, decor, parking and everything the venue entails made this venue the perfect fit for us!
We can’t recommend The Club at Longview enough to future couples. It was truly a magical place to start our next chapter!

I was in the market for an all-inclusive venue, especially because my engagement was just shy of 3 months. The staff were PHENOMINAL. They communicated clearly and professionally. ...
I didn't want to have to think too much about table decorations - they handled it all to perfection. We used sheet cakes from Publix. The staff decorated an entire side room with lights and cloth to build a "tower" of the pre-sliced cake. This took sheet cake from kid birthday to grand elegance. The catering was SCRUMPTIOUS. The room flip was timely. The venue itself is as beautiful as pictures show. The staff - masterclass on hospitality. The housekeeper greeted the bridesmaids and I first thing in the morning to give us her card; which had her name, number, and Wi-Fi password if we needed anything at all during the day. The waitstaff looked so happy as they served - not flustered or stressed. I just cannot recommend this venue enough. They make you feel more than just a customer, but truly seek to make your day beautiful, stress free, and to your vision. They went above and beyond in the big pieces and the small details.

Longview and Shelby created the wedding of my dreams!!! We worked together for a year and they made the planning process a breeze. Shelby was so creative, quick to respond to text/...
emails, and so accommodating. The venue is stunning, the food is amazing, and my guests could not stop talking about my wedding being the best one they have ever been to. I would recommend Longview to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Most importantly, they are honest and we felt so comfortable working with them. They never over promised, no surprise expenses, and delivered exactly what I asked for. 10/10!!!

rateful to the leadership of previous GM Steve Windham and leadership and coordination of Director of Catering Julie Neff who with our planner kept our event stress free!
The FOOD was DELICIOUS prepared by Longview's chef with amazing stationed and passed appetizers for cocktail hour, going right into a warm, delicious sit-down meal of filet, salmon and chicken. The meats and garlic mashed potatoes were a favorite of all and sincere thank you to Nancy Cole, Food and Beverage Events Manager as well as Misa and Audrey the banquet captains for the SERVICE were impeccable, with waters constantly filled, dishes cleared quickly. An additional call out to the amazing six bartenders as they kept the beverages flowing and everyone had a wonderful time.
Last, the DECOR of the club itself is iconic. One step in time with the old world feel of a castle with beautiful dark wood, a cathedral-like ceiling, circular wood staircase and stone fireplaces was perfect for our backdrop of candles, greenery and white flowers. The wrap around outside patio was perfect for the outside seating area and additional bars for cocktail hour overlooking a majestic fountain and golf course pond.
Again, a HUGE thank you to Steve and Julie

I’m so glad we chose the Club at Longview as the place for our wedding ceremony & reception! Here are some reasons you should consider it as your venue:
The picture opportunities!...
! My favorites were the grand spiral staircase (exquisite for wedding dress flowing down the stairs), the upstairs board room (the perfect place for hair/makeup getting done and first looks), pictures from the grass with the venue in the background (looks like a castle), and the gorgeous large windows that bring some incredible natural light into the venue. Also, our grand exit with the sparklers was perfect - there’s a beautiful wrap around driveway for the getaway car.
I always thought I strictly wanted an indoor venue, but I was grateful for the incredible outdoor photo opportunities, even in hot weather. I like that you have the choice of indoor or outdoor, and the photo/video team can be creative with the shots. My favorite was the drone video footage as we stood on the balcony of this beautiful venue and it zoomed out to show the gorgeous green landscape! We chose to do the ceremony inside (cozy fireplace background), cocktail hour and photos with family outside, then we came back in to have it beautifully set up with a dance floor for the reception.
So many fantastic dining options for your guests; the three entrees we chose were the fennel & garlic pork chop, joyce farm chicken breast, and seared salmon with the roasted vegetable medley and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Came with side salad, rolls, and appetizers (a long list to choose from). The flavor was exceptional. I’m grateful we did not need to find an outside caterer or worry about setup; so much was included in our experience and it was worth the cost.
It is on a golf course, but rest assured - if you rent out the venue and especially if you have the wedding in the evening, there’s no need to worry about golfers in the background of the pictures or anything like that. Our area was closed off to any club members. I liked the gated entrance with security; I knew all wedding guests would be on my list.
Finally, Julie was a wonderful contact for us at the venue and was so kind in answering all of our questions. I’m the type to have lists of questions and concerns, especially for something as significant as my wedding day, and she made sure to address all of them.
Our friends continue to tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. We are thrilled that we got to have our special day at such an incredible location.

ble to answer any questions schedule anything we needed. The place offered everything but the and cake, made it so easy for us. They were still flexible with whatever I chose to bring in terms of decor.
Plan was to have the ceremony outdoors and reception indoors in June. But it rained and the day still went seamlessly since everything went indoors. The pictures came out beautiful since everything view is exceptional.
I will recommend this location over and over again.

Our wedding at The Club at Longview was nothing short of enchanting – a true fairytale come to life! It is with the utmost enthusiasm that we wholeheartedly recommend this remarka...
ble venue to couples seeking a dreamlike wedding experience.
Driving through the gates and catching the first glimpse of the meticulously manicured golf course took our breath away. As we approached the chateau-style venue, the anticipation only grew, and the views remained breathtaking. The sheer beauty of the surroundings set an idyllic stage for our special day, and we knew we were in for a treat.
Stepping into the main entrance, we were welcomed by the grandeur of vaulted ceilings that seemed to touch the heavens, and a spiral staircase that evoked the magic of a fairytale. This majestic setting served as the backdrop for some of our most cherished wedding photos, capturing the essence of our love story. The architectural design of the entire space exuded a classic warmth that resonated with our hearts.
The space was exquisitely adorned, and every detail was thoughtfully curated, allowing us to have our wedding day with unwavering confidence.
The food was an absolute delight, and nobody could stop talking about it. The fish and filet mignon (please give me the red wine reduction recipe!) were nothing short of exquisite, a true testament to the culinary prowess of the venue's team. The efficiency with which the food was served to our 70 guests left us amazed, ensuring that everyone was catered to with the utmost care. They took plenty of extra care to ensure that we could provide a kosher experience to some of our guests that required it. The reception was a resounding success, with guests showering us with positive comments and creating memories that will be cherished forever.
Our heartfelt recommendation for The Club at Longview comes from a place of deep appreciation for the exceptional experience they provided us on our wedding day. The venue's timeless charm, impeccable service, and culinary excellence combine to create an unparalleled wedding destination. If you're seeking a venue that encapsulates romance, beauty, and an unforgettable atmosphere, The Club at Longview is unquestionably the perfect choice.
Thank you so much to the team that worked together to make our wedding special!

The Club at Longview was the perfect venue for our wedding – we cannot recommend it enough! After looking at several venues in the Charlotte area, we were sold after out first visi...
t at Longview. The views are breathtaking as you drive through the gates, past the perfectly groomed golf course, up to the castle-like venue.
When you walk in the main entrance, you are greeted with vaulted ceilings and a spiral staircase that makes you feel like you are in a fairytale. We took pictures here on our wedding day and they turned out amazing! The architecture of the entire space has a very classic and warm feeling to it. We visited other country clubs and they felt too corporate/modern to us.
Aside from the space being a homerun, Julie and the staff at Longview were fantastic. We had a few meetings with Julie ahead of the wedding where she walked us through all the details. She made it a seamless process and took care of practically everything (setting up tables, chairs, name cards, plates, table arrangements, etc) so we could focus on all the other details of the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch. The space was perfectly decorated, the food was fantastic (especially the short ribs & filet), and came out quickly for our 150 guests! We loved the appetizers and late-night bites that were offered as part of the package.
Thank you to the Club at Longview for giving us a day we will never forget!

This venue double booked our ceremony space with a golf tournament that they forgot to mention to us until 3 months before the wedding. Our family is flying in from far away so obv...
iously we cant change the date and they refused to give us additional funds to help us change to a new venue that met our expectations. The venues were slim pickings since the date is so close and we ended up having to pay way more than what we budgeted for. I do not recommend this venue even though it is beautiful, their organization of events is horrendous. We booked this venue back in November 2022 and they didn’t tell us about the other event until june 2023, 3 months before the wedding.. Here is some of the email that we received after this occurrence.
“Thank you for being understanding and handling this with such grace. As we discussed, we attempted to move the Longview tournament dates to 8.31-9.2.23, and unfortunately, we were unsuccessful. We explored the possibility of having the wedding on Thursday or Monday, but the dates were not ideal due to travel. We also discussed having the wedding on Saturday, September 2, 2023, at the Providence Country Club and your clients did not want to pursue this venue because they felt it was outdated.
Words can’t express how awful we feel. We strive to ensure all our events receive the quality and attention it deserves. Stephany and Rodney would not have the Longview experience due to this other event.”
A week after this issue occurred the big boss of the company called and told me that the event will go as planned and pretended like nothing happened. We already found another venue at this point and our trust in this company has dissipated. Please do not make the same mistake as us.
