Charlotte Wedding Photographer : Vendor Feature Duke Mansion

 I had the great opportunity to tour the Duke Mansion in Charlotte, NC in the neighborhood of Myers park. First I would like to thank Laura for touring me around this wonderful mansion and telling me all about the history and event details. Welcome to the grand Tour! You will fall in love with this historic mansion built in the 1915's and saved in 1998. The Duke mansion is a grand and elegant southern estate that can host corporate meetings to grand events including weddings and can hold up to 175 guest. The Mansion is also a B&B and has 20 spacious and beautiful guest rooms. Each year the Mansion host 25 weddings and is now currently booking for 2018 weddings. The mansion has 2 ceremony sites if your looking to have your ceremony outside of a church. The McGuire lawn  & The Garden Terrace. They are both very popular but the McGuire lawn has some restrictions due to its historic trees that are over 100 years old; they only hold 2 ceremonies a month to maintain the integrity of the lawn and tree roots. When you book your wedding at the Mansion you have exclusive rights to the use of the venue no other events will take place on the day of your wedding.
