Today I am sharing another one of my favorite Charlotte, North Carolina event venues! The Duke Mansion is perfect for those that want an elegant wedding that still includes that southern charm from the local area. With breathtaking outdoor locations, your wedding photography here will not disappoint. While it can be fun to adventure offsite after the ceremony, it is always a perk when there are plenty of photo spots to choose from onsite!
Not to mention, this historic venue is ready to host other events besides weddings. So if you are planning a cute first birthday or even anniversary, be sure to keep this option on your list. Ready for a virtual tour of The Duke Mansion? Let’s get started.

The Mary DBT Semans Gardens
There’s something so magical about lush, outdoor gardens. They truly are an escape with so many treasures to discover. The onsite Mary DBT Semans Gardens is free to check out on most days. So you and your loved one can schedule a date here before celebrating your wedding. You can take note of areas at the gardens that you love for wedding photography. Not to mention how amazing this spot is for engagement and family photos!
Wedding Locations
So, where exactly can you host weddings? Most ceremonies are held outdoors near the gardens or under the Barnhardt Terrace. For weddings during the cooler months or for those that simply want to be indoors, the first floor of the mansion is also available! Chat with your wedding planner about what would work best for you. You can always venture throughout the venue with your photographer while guests celebrate to capture more memories as newlyweds!
