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 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 your 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 polite, 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.
