About

The Ivy Place is an enchanting garden wedding venue near Charlotte, NC. Nestled on 33 acres, the property provides the flexibility and freedom to tailor your event to meet your personal style and create the wedding of your dreams.

Facilities and Capacity

While all ceremonies and receptions are located outdoors, there is a large, beautifully decorated garden tent situated on the grounds. Many couples find having their reception inside the tent doesn’t take away from the feeling of being outdoors, as high sides, cathedral windows, and built-in decorations provide an extension to the possible festivities outside. With the capacity to fit 250 people, both the tent and the outdoor areas are flexible and available for couples to decorate as they see fit.

Services Offered

The Ivy Place welcomes outside vendors for florals, decorating, catering, and other wedding-day needs. They can provide a bridal suite on the day of the wedding, as well as assist in event planning before and on the event day. Couples can also reserve the 1920s cottage on the night of their wedding, and the many fields, ponds, gardens, and old barns provide unique spaces for wedding party photos and portraits.

Some of the other items they keep in their inventory for wedding use include:

  • Arbors
  • Lawn games
  • Cocktail tables
  • Farm Tables

History

The house was built in 1850 by Adam Ivy, who used a gold dust dowry from his second wife to commission the building, as was family tradition. In 1888, the house was sold and then used as a retirement retreat in the early 1920s for Dr. James D. Nisbet and his wife. They renovated the house, constructed the barn, and ran a working dairy farm until the late 1950s. Used as a rental home after the owners passed away, the property was finally bought by Terry and Genie Graham in 1978. Genie was actually a descendent of Dr. Jim Nisbet, and Terry immigrated to the United States from Ireland, as Adam Ivy’s parents did. After holding weddings for both their daughters on the property, Terry and Genie recognized they wanted to share their special location with others, and opened The Ivy House for weddings and events.

BEAUTIFUL venue!! Terry and Genie own the property and are seriously some of the sweetest people I have ever met. They have opened their home to us and truly made our wedding day a dream come true! They were so flexible letting us on their property for engagement pictures and meetings with our FABULOUS wedding planner, Lisa Wilson!! This venue can be transformed into whatever your wedding "style" is! Ours was rustic themed and fit with the property perfectly! When you book them also ask for Lisa to be your wedding planner! Have nothing but amazing things to say about her as well! There is not enough room on this review to truly express how much we appreciate and are grateful for Terry, Genie, and Lisa for making our dreams come true!!

The perfect outdoor wedding venue

The Ivy Place is a wonderful outdoor wedding venue. We had our ceremony at the leaning Oak Tree, cocktail hour around the koi pond and reception under the tent. It was a magical night and the perfect garden wedding!

Beautiful venue!!

Wow, The Ivy Place is just BEAUTIFUL!! Our wedding was truly a dream. We had to move our wedding last-minute from Charleston to the Charlotte area due to COVID. We found The Ivy Place and quickly fell in love with the property! The owners of The Ivy Place were so kind and willing to help pull our wedding together last minute. The venue itself is truly just so beautiful - our guests were raving about the gardens and the reception space! I got ready with my bridesmaids in the cottage on the property prior to the ceremony, which worked out SO perfectly and made for lovely photos. In fact, ALL of the photos taken on the property turned out absolutely beautiful. I could go on and on about this venue. I would HIGHLY recommend The Ivy Place to any couple if they are looking for a beautiful, outdoor wedding venue!!
