The Great Aunt Stella Center occupies a neoclassical building in Charlotte, North Carolina, originally constructed in 1914 as a church and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The building retains its original Italian stained glass windows, a pipe organ, and a circular sanctuary that reflects nearly a century of architectural character. Named after the great aunt of the philanthropist who acquired the property in 1997, the center reopened as Charlotte's alternative performing arts, cultural, and community gathering place. The Sanctuary accommodates up to 400 guests for ceremonies, concerts, and conferences, offering a baby grand piano, a pipe organ, and state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems. The Cafe seats up to 150 guests for receptions and social gatherings, with a built-in dance floor and kitchen facilities. Together, the two spaces suit a range of events — from non-denominational weddings and musical performances to literary readings, corporate meetings, and community events. Self-Help, a community development organization, has operated the venue since 2002 with a commitment to maintaining its historic character and affordable access.

The Fillmore Charlotte occupies a restored 100-year-old fiber mill in the Fourth Ward area of Uptown Charlotte, drawing its name and spirit from San Francisco's legendary Fillmore venue. Opened in June 2009, it serves as Charlotte's largest music venue and a versatile private event destination accommodating up to 1,700 guests, situated 2.2 miles from the Charlotte Convention Center. The main Music Hall spans 19,400 square feet, featuring red velvet draperies, red oak hardwood floors, elaborate chandeliers, and five large bar areas. Stadium-style tiered seating offers unobstructed sightlines across the room, while state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems support events ranging from seated dinners for 500 to large-scale receptions and private concerts. The Underground, a more intimate second venue on the same property, offers an alternate space for smaller gatherings. The venue's full-service events team provides in-house catering, custom menus, and production capabilities — including video mapping, experiential branding, and access to Live Nation's artist network — for corporate events, weddings, fundraisers, and social gatherings of all kinds.

River Hills Country Club sits on 884 acres along Lake Wylie in Lake Wylie, South Carolina, with a history stretching back to 1937, when Charlotte Observer owner Curtis B. Johnson purchased the property and built a brick reservoir still visible in the lake today. The land later became the Commodore Club, a yacht club anchored by the lakeside Regatta Room, before developer Charles Fraser expanded it into a golf community in the 1970s. Members purchased the club outright in 1977, and it has operated as a member-owned club ever since. Today the club hosts weddings, showers, rehearsal dinners, and receptions in venues both indoors and out, many taking in views of the lake. Its grounds also include an 18-hole championship golf course, seven Har-Tru clay courts, pickleball courts, three swimming pools, and dining led by a veteran culinary team. Non-members are welcome to book events at the club, working with its events director to plan wedding packages and private celebrations against the backdrop of the club's lakefront setting.
