Charlotte
A garden ceremony with a ballroom reception
Wedgewood publishes capacity for 220 guests, a garden pavilion, and a ballroom. Its packages vary in included services.
Ask before booking: Your package tier, ceremony and venue fees, the 22% administrative fee, taxes, and guest minimums.
Charlotte
A large seated hotel reception
The hotel's published chart lists 400 dinner guests or 500 reception guests for the Ballantyne Ballroom. A standing reception limit is not a seated wedding limit.
Ask before booking: Capacity after your stage and dance floor, food and beverage minimums, and hotel room-block terms.
Charlotte
A smaller hotel ballroom than Ballantyne Ballroom
Fairway Ballroom is listed for 180 dinner guests or 200 reception guests. Compare the exact room on your contract instead of a hotel-wide capacity number.
Ask before booking: Room dimensions, ceremony location, weather backup, and whether other events share the property.
Charlotte · Dilworth
A historic inn with overnight rooms
The Morehead Inn describes a historic Dilworth property with twelve guest rooms. Room count does not establish event capacity; request the layout for your celebration.
Ask before booking: Required room reservations, catering arrangements, seated capacity, and the indoor weather plan.
Harrisburg · outside Charlotte
A lakeside estate for a larger guest list
Wedgewood lists capacity for 280 guests, woodland and lakeside ceremony sites, and a ballroom with vaulted ceilings.

Gastonia · outside Charlotte
A mansion and formal garden
Wedgewood lists capacity for 200 guests, a formal garden, ballroom, and getting-ready spaces. This property is in Gastonia, so plan guest transport around that address.

This is an editorial comparison based on published venue information, not a ranking from site visits. Availability, layouts, package terms, and prices must be confirmed for your date.
These venues are in nearby towns. Check the town on each listing when planning guest travel.
Compare seated capacity, venue style, and the ceremony location before booking a tour. Ask each venue for a written quote covering your date, catering rules, rentals, staffing, and an indoor rain plan. Listing price bands help you compare; confirm current prices and availability directly with the venue.
