Lincolnton, NC
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Hartsoe Farm, LLC aims to offer our clients a stress-free Wedding/Event of their choice while providing excellent service. Indian Creek runs along the back side of our property. There is nothing more peaceful than the sound of water streaming in the background during your Wedding.

Hartsoe Farms was phenominal. They far exceeded my expectations. When we booked our wedding, Kasey Hartsoe showed us a book of decorations to choose from. She helped me customize my tables based off my color choices and she put the flowers and decorations together. During the process after I left, she sent me pictures until I was satisfied with the results. I love that they set up and tear down for the clients! When we took our photos, there were so many locations to choose from. Its so peaceful and beautiful out there on the farm. Since our wedding almost two years ago there have been numerous improvements to the property. The shelter is now closed in with a beautiful gray wood on the exterior and a brown rustic look on the inside. The beautiful fairy lights make you feel transported. They also built a beautiful bridge you can take pictures on or walk over into the woods where there is alsp a bench to take pictures or get away for a private moment to speak as newly weds. I particularly like The Lounge where you can get ready or do touch ups before your event. The "Bridal" suite is elegant with many places to sit and a bar in the bathroom to do your make up. The "Grooms" suite is very manly, and well decorated. They provide wine glasses and whisky glasses for a sophisticated look in photos and for your guests in the bridal/groom lounge. They also added some out door bathrooms so your guests dont have to go all the way into the Lounge. They also do your music for you if you send a playlist. Overall, I can't believe this location is as cheap as it is with the services provided. If i could give 11/10 stars I would!! Thanks Hartsoe Farms for the perfect wedding!

Welcome to The Rafters at Historic St. Mark's where modern elegance meets 1800s charm. The Rafters is your ideal wedding destination. Our multi building campus sits just minutes from Uptown Charlotte, yet feels worlds away tucked into 13 secluded acres of century old trees. With everything you need from getting ready suites to the church to the reception, The Rafters can accommodate your special day without you or guests needing to travel elsewhere. Crafted with southern charm and offering modern amenities, our exposed beam reception hall wraps you and your guests in grandeur and beauty befitting the occasion. When you book The Rafters, the campus and all buildings are yours for the duration of your event. No need to clear out of our ready suites early. We only have one event per day, so when it's yours, it's all about you. We have packages to suit most needs, and even have an in house caterer available for you if you'd like. All are welcome in our space.

First, it’s beautiful. We did our ceremony at a Catholic church down the street and had our reception at the Rafters, but my favorite photos are by far the ones we took in front of the St Mark’s chapel- it’s so romantic! As a reception venue, it is very reasonably priced, and has everything you could need. We got ready in the adorable carriage house, and we also did my bridal shoot there a few weeks before the wedding- they turned out beautifully. Also, if you book with their caterer (The Flyin’ Lions), you get a discount AND support a good cause! But that’s not even the best part: their food is AMAZING. I am literally still dreaming about the salmon and mashed potatoes from my wedding day, and so many guests told me how much they loved the food. The taste testing was fun too, they have a ton of options! Also, Allison is the best coordinator EVER. You will love working with her, and every vendor I hired that had worked with her before told me the same thing! She is so personable and really gets to know you, and she will bend over backwards to help you with whatever you need. She is fantastic with communication; her responsiveness and helpfulness alone reduced my wedding planning stress. I also loved the preferred vendor list Allison provided; it made it a lot easier to narrow down our vendor choices! Allison and Debbie (from Flyin’ Lions) made our wedding and all the months leading up to it so special and wonderful; we cannot recommend them enough!
