We are so happy we chose the Union Exchange to host our wedding in November of 2025. It was a beautiful day with beautiful weather. The venue is something else, so many magical pla...
ces to choose from for the ceremony, cocktail and reception. They have lots of package options and add ons available. It was such a plus to stay on property the night before and night of for family and guests. The team at the UE were so lovely and helpful throughout the process. We live in Florida so they were great in helping us navigate being far away. Our guests are still talking about our special day saying it was their favorite wedding to date 💕 Highly recommend the Union Exchange for any event!
I cannot say enough good things about the Union Exchange!! My husband and I got married there this past September and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everyone who ...
works there treats you like family and truly cares. They went above and beyond and I’m so happy we chose the Union Exchange for our venue. The venue itself is also gorgeous! Excited to continue to visit for years to come :)
I had the absolute pleasure of doing flowers at the Union Exchange for a recent wedding and was absolutely blown away by this venue. Not only is the venue and property breathtaking...
- the pine tree forest is an absolute dream- but the team behind it is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. The level of detail and dedication they put into making sure everything is beautiful and just right for the couple is like nothing I’ve seen. I got to work close to Kelly on the day of and everything she prepared she went above and beyond for. I cannot recommend this venue and team enough. If you want to get married in a beautiful space with a family owned business who treat every day like the most important day, The Union Exchange is the place.
Me & my husband chose The Union Exchange as our wedding venue and we couldn't have picked a better one! The staff are SO lovely (massive shoutout to Kelly & Kacie!) and they were s...
o flexible with us and really put in the extra effort to make sure our day was perfect. Not only are the staff here excellent at their jobs, they are also such wonderful kindhearted people too. We felt INSTANTLY welcomed the first time we ever visited & that is ultimately what lead us to choosing this place to get married.
My family stayed in the big AirBNB at the front of the venue and it's such a great space for larger parties! Very modern but with a rustic twist and has everything you need. Also the animals are ADORABLE!
Myself and my husband stayed in one of the little cabins near the lake and we both loved it so much that we will be coming back every year to celebrate our anniversary! They are so cosy but very clean, we loved sitting on the chairs at the front and watching all the geese go by. Special shoutout to the candles here, the "Market Mornings" candle was a nice addition to our cabin and we even bought one to take home with us to remember this by.
Even though we were here for our wedding, I know they do so many cool events which are perfect for all ages, we will definitely be back in future! I cannot recommend this beautiful place more <3
Our wedding day was more than what we could have imagined thanks to the Exchange. Having our wedding at the Exchange made the whole day an experience - ceremony in the pine grove,...
cocktail hour in their outdoor bar, reception in the main barn, and the party on the patio. The houses on the property were also great to host family and to have a place to get ready. The staff is so responsive with planning and made it such a breeze.
The icing on top of everything - we added their ice cream option as our dessert and it was a hit for our summer wedding!
One of our favorite days at one of our favorite places!
The union exchange is an absolutely amazing place to have your wedding! The property is gorgeous. The Airbnb's that come with the property are also very nice as well. Kelly and her...
family really know how to truly make you feel welcomed and loved throughout the whole wedding process. I enjoyed every minute of having my wedding here. I would 100% recommend this venue to anybody!
The UE was everything we looked for and could have dreamed of. So many different locations on the farm to choose from for a ceremony. They work together with you to meet all of you...
r needs. The setting is phenomenal and such a variety of of settings to choose from all within one place. They provide on site housing for some of your guests from out of town which is incredible. This family run company truly cares about your big day and wants everything to go perfectly and works hard to do so. They are a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a venue that is ADA accessible, rest full of event/wedding needs, will go the extra mile to make your big day everything you dreamed it would be.
Looking to get married near the Charlotte area? The Union Exchange should be your only choice. The venue is stunning and it offers breathtaking sceneries. That is not the best part...
though. Kelly and team are incredible. They were there every step of the way and made sure our day was perfect. From answering our many questions at the drop of the hat, to driving us around the property in the golf cart, the staff is superior. It's hard to put in words how much we appreciate what the staff did for us.
The Union Exchange is an absolute dream! It’s got the small town, family oriented, classic feel that was perfect for my micro wedding.
Every staff member I encountered were so p...
olite, thoughtful and helpful! All of my questions were answered in a timely manner and staff continued to check in to make sure everything was going well.
The venue is spacious which provided me with multiple options for the ceremony of my choice and even more options for pictures after my ceremony. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue experience. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for a venue in the area.
