The Club has two distinct ballrooms. The Mecklenburg Room features east and west atriums with mountain vistas to the west and the city square to the east. The Queen Charlotte Ballroom, a favorite for weddings, features crystal chandeliers, 30-foot ceilings, and expansive windows revealing striking panoramic views.

Charlotte City Club has an established reputation for culinary excellence, and each dish reflects our commitment to the finest local ingredients. We’ll work with you throughout your planning to create a custom menu, choose the perfect wine pairings, or develop a signature drink. The end result: unforgettable fare unmatched in flavor or presentation.

Why We Love Charlotte City Club

First of all, it's in Uptown Charlotte NC - so the opportunities for photographs utilizing the city abound!  Second, the amenities and the staff are amazing and do a fantastic job catering to the bride and groom and the event making sure everything goes off seamlessly.  Selfishly for us, they really go out of their way to make sure we have opportunities and liberties to perform our craft - and they feed us REAL food.  That's big with me.  We like being fed while working the night away.
