Ballantyne Country Club

ful and she helped set up everything perfectly. Would recommend to any bride. Beautiful indoor and outdoor space!

love with it all over again once the space was all set up for our day. The whole staff at BCC was so great and ensured that our party had everything we needed the day of. We wanted to include a special thank you to everyone who helped set up our ceremony inside at the last second. The final row of chairs were being set up for the ceremony outside when a storm rolled in and forced us to change our plans. The team shifted focus and set up our dream ceremony inside the Great Room, all just 2 hours before the ceremony was set to begin. The two of us and our guests had a blast celebrating our marriage and BCC played a huge part in that. Thank you BCC!!

rofessional. The club was clean and decorated beautifully for the Holiday Season. A gorgeous property with a great staff. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING ALSO!

awn, to the verandas, to the lovely dining room and majestic hall when you first walk in. It rained on my wedding day but we were still able to get our fancy bridal party portraits on their gorgeous upper veranda. Secondly, their food is incredibly delicious and plentiful! My guests kept posting pictures of their meals and saying how full they were by the end of the night because the portions were generous and made by a GENIUS chef that really knows how to pare flavors together perfectly. Thirdly, I’ve never met a more professional, accommodating team than this one. The staff was on top of every single detail with multiple check ins leading up to my wedding, as well as throughout the day to make sure everything was as I envisioned it. I want to specifically mention Christina Egan for going above and beyond in coordinating all of the moving parts for my very intricate ceremony. She is truly a dream to work with. I am someone who tends to worry about every last detail and with her in charge, I never had to worry. For any obstacle that arose, she was there with multiple solutions. She is a true gem and example of the amazing team the BCC has. I truly recommend this venue and give kudos to the very hard working general manager John for having a dream team of people for a bride to work with in one of the biggest days of her life.

phone whenever we needed. The Ballantyne Country Club space itself is beautiful. Because we knew we wanted to have our ceremony and reception in the same place, it was important to us to have some sort of flow to the evening so people didn't feel like they were in one space for too long. This venue did just that! The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all held in different spaces. While we planned for the ceremony to be outside, moving it inside due to cold weather worked out even better than I could have imagined. The staff was accommodating to this switch and everything ran so seamlessly. I am forever grateful! Highly recommend :)

had so many great ideas, and has the most calming personality ever. There are so many beautiful spots to take pictures, the food is amazing, and there is plenty of room for dancing! My wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect.

dule and met with me multiple times to make sure my reception was perfect. Amanda coordinated with all of my other vendors for me, which was so sweet and relieved wedding stress. I have been in multiple weddings and never I repeat never have i been apart of one that ran absolutely perfect... but luckily mine did because of BCC! They even made my husband and I to go food when we left our wedding ceremony! The food was so delicious and had so many options for my wedding guests... My guests were raving about it! If you want a stress free wedding that is coordinated to perfection with delicious food — BOOK BCC!

ream! I cannot say enough good things about working with BCC! Amanda, the wedding coordinator, and her team are truly AMAZING!! They are sweet, professional, kind and so on top of everything! They removed all stress and my wedding was so gorgeous! Amanda and her team scheduled multiple appointments to make sure they understood my vision and were so detailed! The food was absolutely amazing! My guests are raving about how beautiful my venue was and how delicious the food was! BCC was the best decision I made for my wedding!!

Amanda and her staff carried out the plan without a flaw, being highly accommodating and receptive to suggestions and changes during the entire process. During the evening. Amanda and her staff kept all, including me, on "task" without being intrusive or"visible". All our guests mentioned this was probably the best wedding they’d experienced. That is indeed high praise from some with very high standards. The venue, staff service, organization of the evening and the food all received rave reviews. I couldn’t be more happy with the entire experience from start to finish. I honestly can not think of one thing I would change about the end result. Fabulous. I recommend considering the Ballantyne Country Club and Amanda wholeheartedly and without reservation. One happy FOB here.

really felt special when on-site for planning meetings (tour, tasting, rehearsal, etc). I can not say enough great things about Amanda and Christina, the CC's wedding planners. They ensured that the day itself was executed flawlessly which allowed for myself, my husband, and my family to focus on enjoying the day. They also added a number of wonderful touches like setting aside cocktail hour appetizers for my husband and I to enjoy alone before returning to the party to start the rehearsal. This might seem like something small, but in the moment means a lot. On top of the service, the culinary team is top notch. Our guests loved the food and the bar staff was great in working with us to have a number of local Charlotte beers from OMB, Sugar Creek and Sycamore. Getting married at the Ballantyne Country Club truly was one of the best decisions my husband and I made throughout our planning process, would recommend every time!

ils, they were so helpful in making sure we were happy with everything and that everything ran smoothly. They truly made the whole planning process stress-free and enjoyable.

at the beginning of November 2018 and it could not have been more perfect or more beautiful! She and her girls spent the day at BCC getting ready and enjoyed a fabulous lunch along with mimosas. The accommodations for doing hair, makeup and getting dressed were perfect. The wedding was outside on the green area and was absolutely gorgeous. The reception was on the upstairs patio, which provides a great view and plenty of space. The hors-d'oeuvres were delicious as were the drinks. The reception area for dinner and dancing was decorated flawlessly, and the food was fantastic. The entire day and night could not have been better. BCC is a great venue for your wedding but becomes a perfect venue with the hard work of Amanda McCleery and the rest of the staff. Planning the event was easy due to Amanda's expertise, energy, and hard work. Under her leadership, the entire staff worked very hard to accommodate all of our guests and provided us with excellent service. Amanda took care of every detail prior to and during the event. More importantly, she and the staff took great care of my daughter and her new husband for the entire evening. We did not have to do anything except enjoy this wonderful day! Many thanks to Amanda and the entire team!

have cocktail hour outside, come back inside for dinner, and go back outside for dancing. We received so many compliments from our guests of how beautiful the venue was, and how good the food was. Amanda was also AMAZING! She was very responsive to all my emails and questions, helped me with the room layout, reception timeline, and made sure everything at BCC went off without a hitch. Thanks BCC for my dream reception!

that, but being professional, fun, and POSITIVE! Special Thank yoU to Amanda, you'll know who she is! Your expertise, in not only weddings, but event planning, will always have us on Cloud 9. Cheers and God Bless :) Craig & Kelyn

r, and reception. Amanda was an amazing coordinator who went out of her way to customize the day for us and was extremely flexible and creative. Our guests raved about the food, decor, and service. We'd wholeheartedly recommend BCC and we can't imagine working with a better team.

autiful for our outdoor ceremony! Amanda, the events manager was remarkable and I cannot even imagine planning our wedding without her help. She was extremely accommodating , creative, patient, and was able to make all of our ideas come to life! Amanda really went above and beyond our expectations. We would choose BCC again every time!

send a special thanks to "all" connected to the club in providing an absolute incredible reception for my daughter Amanda. The professionalism and attention to detail that was exhibited by all staff members at the club was over the top !!! My wife and I are originally from New York and we wanted to provide my daughter with the closest thing to a "New York " wedding reception and I (and many the majority of the New Yorkers that were in attendance) can tell you that your organization hit the mark. The cocktail hour was great and everybody raved about the main courses of Salmon, Beef and Chicken-- well done !!! I would also like to acknowledge one particular individual, Amanda McCleery. We started working with Amanda over a year before the actual wedding and i can't tell you how impressed we all where. Her attention to detail was outstanding, everything that we discussed over the year leading up to the reception was well documented and spot on. We knew where we stood and did not experience any "surprises" throughout the process. Amanda's communication, particularly with my daughter, was timely clear and concise !! What we really appreciated most was her professionalism and warmth. She allowed us to present and discuss many details of the reception and interjected in a very professional manner, when asked or felt she needed to. We appreciated her warmth, she made us feel at ease and we felt like we where dealing with someone who really cared. Great job Amanda !!! Again, I want to thank your organization for being a part of my Daughter's special day and contributing in making her dream come true !!

smile... Detail upon details went into the planning of our daughters wedding... and then the weather turned... we suddenly needed a tent, umbrellas, more lighting and draping.... Again, nothing was too much for Amanda... If you want an elegant place to have an affair, and a fabulous team to work with, this is your place!

y. I always felt included in all of the decisions and Amanda would always be sure to ask me about my opinions and thoughts for my special day. The staff was so well organized that I did not have to worry about a thing; they took care of everything. My wedding was at the beginning of August and I still have family and friends raving about what a wonderful day it was. When I think back on my wedding, I wouldn't have changed a thing; everything was handled so professionally. Highly recommend Ballantyne Country Club for your special day!

tep from planning to making the wedding run smoothly and according to plan. She did all of the set up and I was in awe when I walked in. BCC wedding packages are a great deal. They included a wedding cake (which was gorgeous and delicious), champagne toast, linens, bartenders, and food. The food!! It was so good! And they were so nice to box up any dinners from no-show guests. I highly recommend having your wedding and/or reception at BCC ... you will not be disappointed!

d my guests were in awe with how the whole night went. I would most definitely recommend Ballantyne and Amanda! They were AMAZING!

e. Not only did the outdoor scenery provide the perfect setting for the outdoor ceremony, the building and the grounds provided for great pictures as well. The outside patio during cocktail hour was fantastic!! Food was great also! I think for the packaged services that you get at BCC was very wise since at many other places all of your wedding needs are itemized and priced separately, which can add up quickly. Also the wedding coordinator, Amanda, which is included in the club package was so super!! She worked with us from beginning to end. She took excellent notes and even reminded us of details we had talked about previously! She was so great to work with. She was extremely responsive and was so calm and patient with every single detail and orchestrated the big day with professionalism and ease. Great job!! The BCC was a great choice for us and exceeded all of our expectations and made for a very memorable day for all of our family and for my daughter’s special day. The staff at BCC was also very attentive and cared for each guest and made sure items were taken care of immediately. They were professional and courteous. I would say BCC was an absolute fabulous venue and their staff and Amanda were top notch. It was a great day!!! Thank you BCC and especially Amanda!!

indoor and outdoor weddings. Amanda was AMAZING to work with. She was responsive, helpful, organized, and just all around awesome. She helped make the wedding planning much easier and I felt more at ease the day of knowing she was looking over things! We wanted to have our cocktail hour outside but it was supposed to rain so we had it in the foyer. It ended up working out perfectly! The main reception hall was perfect for our 135 guests. It fit everything very well without being crammed. The food was outstanding! We are still getting compliments about how great the appetizers, food and service were. The staff was great as well! I would highly recommend Ballantyne Country Club as a wedding venue location. It couldn't have been more perfect!

anda was so creative and helpful in planning and when I couldn't stand to make another decision, she was there with advice. She even helped bustle my dress during our cocktail hour!! The food was delicious, the drinks were always full, and our guests were accommodated all night! Our family and friends have told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! We're so happy we had our wedding at BCC!

nda is calm, cool, collected, and the one of the happiest and hardest workers I have ever interacted with. She provided great customer service leading up to the wedding (easy to get ahold of, easy to schedule visits and taste testing’s) and provided phenomenal service on our wedding day. I wanted to decorate with a few small pieces on my own and brought her a box of our decorations and all dressing items for my ~20 or so family members who needed to get dressed for the reception at the club. She made sure to include every decoration and detail I requested, and even packed it all up for my parents at the end of the night. We were able to eat, drink, dance, and enjoy our night together without being stressed about a single detail. At the end of the night we were sent home with delicious chicken wraps, snack crackers, and even a box full of some of the sweets at the reception we forgot to try. Amanda was wonderful, and I can’t thank her enough for being so thorough and kind.

anning is a very overwhelming process, but Amanda took away so much of the stress! Our wedding day was beyond perfect and we owe it to BCC!

gh customer service expectations for our special day and figured that they would provide us with it since they are a prestigious private club. Regrettably, Amanda Mccleery was assigned as our wedding coordinator. The planning process was difficult and stressful because she is highly incompetent. She failed to read emails, follow instructions, not to mention her constat attitude problem when we needed to make changes or simply asked questions. We always felt as if she never took our wedding seriously. It got to the point where we wanted to have a new coordinator assigned to us, but we were so close to the big day that we did not have the time to put a new person up to speed. The coordinator decided to go on vacation the entire week prior to our wedding which made us incredibly uncomfortable. The day of the wedding she was rude and her negative attitude was so noticeable that even our family members commented on it. We never really understood why she had this approach but it was unfair, disrespectful and disappointing. No one should be treated this way on their special day. If you decide to have your wedding celebration here, which does not come with a cheap price tag, ensure to ask for a different coordinator. On the other side, the venue is beautiful and the food is great!

our big day outside on the lawn but on the day of, the weather forecasts did not look promising. I was incredibly disappointed when we made the call to have the ceremony inside. I made the decision not to look at the ceremony space until it was time to walk down the aisle! I must say that I was very impressed at how the space inside turned out. It was beautiful and very intimate. It's an atmosphere that I don't think we would have had outside! After the ceremony, Amanda personally came to me and made sure I got a quick bite before the reception. The food at the reception was DELICIOUS - even our donut wall was perfect! The donut wall alone was so impressive because not only did it look great, it tasted great! The whole experience was amazing. Truly an amazing day!! I would highly recommend this venue, and staff, to any bride!

s awesome and Kept me calm throughout. She was always on point returned every phone call and email in a timely matter. Randy was amazing as well along with the whole BCC staff. If your are looking for a venue for a wedding this would be the place.

anda and Randi took care of absolutely everything and helped us fill in the details for every part of our day. We are still getting tagged, texted and posted on stuff from all of our friends and family saying how much fun they had and how amazing the food was! (Go for the cupcakes... huge fan favorite!) Amanda even jumped in to help us on last minute issues with our vendors to make sure they were not stressing us out before our big day! There was not one single thing that could have gone better on our day and the whole team certainly made it the Best Day Ever for us! Thank you!

disappoint! Amanda ensured that the food and beverage we selected matched our vision for the event and she spent hours with my family ensuring we were comfortable with our choices. Luckily, the weather agreed with us on our wedding day so we were able to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor space for our cocktail hour and dancing. With the market lighting, patios, and beautifully manicured event lawn, Ballantyne Country Club has the best outdoor event space in Charlotte!

ther of the bride to relax and know that she had all the details under control. I feel very lucky that we had a true professional attending to this important event! The detailed notes Amanda took surprised me! I had actually forgotten some of the items we mentioned until she brought them up at our final meeting. Bravo! All went off exquisitely. The staff was amazing, as always. We feel like we have lifelong friends at BCC and only wish we had another daughter to marry so we could use them and all the staff again!

thew was in town and my wedding was planned for outside. The night before the wedding, with no hurricane end in sight, the staff decided to move everything inside for me with no hesitation. We had the whole dining space with dance floor and everything. I was floored, I cried right there on the spot. Amanda went above and beyond day of to decorate the space. It looked breathtaking. I could not be more thankful for them and what they did for me to make my day special despite the weather. I would recommend this venue to anyone. I am certain they will go above and beyond to make all of your dreams come true! Thank you!

d with Amanda throughout most of our wedding planning. She was attentive, responsive and a pleasure to work with. We did not have to set up anything, which made it a stress free day. Amanda and the staff at Ballantyne Country Club set everything up and made the decorations and room layout look amazing. The food and drinks were delicious and there was plenty for all of our guests. Ballantyne Country Club made our day so special and perfect in every way! Thank you all for everything!

promptly and was flexible with last minute changes. I had my bridal portrait done on site and even though I was running late for my appointment with my photographer they were still able to allow me to shoot on the premises and the pics turned out perfectly. All the guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food tasted. The only hiccup in the night was that it was pretty warm during the reception (everyone looked sweaty but glowing in our pics), but I can't completely fault Ballantyne for that considering it was a steamy hot day in July, it was a pretty large party, and we danced up a storm. Lastly, Emily coordinated on our actual wedding day and she was great! If there were any issues behind the scenes I absolutely was unaware of it, so I was able to really enjoy my wedding day without having to deal with problems. I couldn't recommend Ballantyne any higher!!

w and trusted all of the staff and leadership, we expected it to be pretty "turn-key." We landed in the hands of Amanda. She was attentive, responsive and very on top of everything. Thanks to her and the rest of the staff at Ballantyne Country Club, our wedding was a huge success and it was absolutely perfect in every way. From the lighting, to the food and drinks, to the overall layout, Ballantyne Country Club exceeded our every expectation and made an already special day, that much more perfect. Thank you all for everything!

e option to use both the outdoor and indoor space. My contact was extremely knowledgeable, creative, and attentive...I couldn't have asked for more guidance if I wanted to. The entire process was stress fee and every time I walked in to this club I knew I made the right decision! I wouldn't change a thing and will continue to recommend this incredible venue and staff to anyone I know! My wedding was THE BEST DAY EVER and I know it was all because of the Ballantyne Country Club!!

he club to go over the details I felt like we made the best choice.Emily Burgholzer the events manager and was a pleasure to work with . She was very personable,professional and patience.The staff,service,food and venue was great. You know when an event is successful when you go over the night in your mind and wouldn't have changed a thing.

ect.Emily and Amanda were PERFECT, HELPFUL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and THE BEST DUO A BRIDE COULD ASK FOR. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for making our day one that we will always cherish.T Both of you went above and beyond I will be forever grateful. The food was incredible! It is so hard to make amazing food for that many people but they pulled it off. The room looked like a fairy tale and it was beyond my wildest dreams. If anyone asks me where to host an event in Charlotte, NC the Ballantyne Country Club is #1 on my list. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

hter's wedding was quite disappointing. The food quality overall was good but portions were small for the plated dinners. They could have been more generous with the salad and side-items. Most annoying were the servers constantly trying to remove everything from your table. As soon as you would go to dance or talk with someone, They would take your food/drink and utensils without your permission. They took my champagne, water, half of my beef tenderloin, butter, rolls, and coffee without asking. Many of my guests had the same experience. But most disappointing of all, at the end of the night, I told the clean-up staff that I wanted my several large flower arrangements worth over $2000. The gentleman I talked to rolled the cart to the front so I could load these into my car. I quickly loaded some other items first but when I came back to get the flowers, they had taken them and thrown them away! With all that said, if choosing this venue, I would suggest you get the buffet so your guest don't go home hungry and take any items before the conclusion of the event - including bathroom baskets, cookies, and personal items, or they will disappear or be thrown away! Sincerely, Mother-of-the -bride

stressful and at times I just wanted to break down and cry. In the end, I had the wedding of my dreams and it was beautiful.I did have to do the setting up myself and I didnt get much help from staff but the cordinating was awesome and they did make sure everything was on time and precise. My parents did experience a few problems with being rushed out after we left, and some of our things disappered but other than that everything went well, all and all, I would recommend this venue.

dding should be like. Growing up in a family where my father was the general manager of a prestige club in New York, having a venue that would meet our expectations would have been difficult but BCC met them and more. There would have not been a better place to have my wedding at other than BCC. Emily was amazing to work with! She was with us every step of the way. She made our visions come true. Having a wedding that was at BCC max capacity, the layout of the dining rooms and dance floor in the grand foyer made our wedding feel intimate and perfect. The decor was amazing and what a wedding should be! Even though she was on vacation the weekend of our wedding, Lauren did an amazing job in her place. It felt like we have been coordinating the wedding with her the whole time. The entire BCC team was amazing. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding.

lking about the wonderful food! Everything is taken care of from the drinks to cake to appetizers and entrees! The facility is breathtaking! All the staff were so helpful the entire day and evening! All of the other vendors they recommended were wonderful as well (florist and photographer). They also arranged a golf tournament for the groomsmen and dads on Friday which was a blast! All in all, we wouldn't have changed a thing and would highly recommend BCC for anyone planning a wedding!!
