Venues for 450+

chicagolawyer

Hello! I am looking into wedding venues that can hold 450+ for a friend - can be in either of the Carolinas (or even Georgia) Any ideas? It seems like a seated reception for that many people is a bit tough... Any help is much appreciated! You can email me at jlstrelecchi at mac dot com if you'd rather. Thanks!

the convention center in downtown raleigh can be rented out for weddings and has a space that can hold up to 2400 for a seated reception (but can be broken down to smaller spaces) - it might be worth checking out if her numbers are possibly going to be over 450.  http://www.raleighconvention.com/Planners/facilities-ballrooms.php

I believe that the Marriott City Center in Downtown Raleigh and Prestonwood Country Club in Cary would both be able to accommodate 450.

The Hilton in uptown Charlotte can accommodate that many guests. Charlotte City Club might be able to do 450.

The Regency and Empire Rooms in downtown Greensboro. They can both hold up to 800 people depending on how you set up the rooms.

Ritz Carlton Uptown Charlotte - it's brand new and hotel is gorgeous - the link to the ballroom and seating capacities are below...Most of the larger hotels in Charlotte should be able to handle that amount...Westin...Omni Hope these links help....I don't know what you're looking at budget wise but the Ritz and Ballantyne resort would be amazing venuesRitz: http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/Charlotte/Events/Weddings/RoomDetails/the_ritz-carlton_ballroom.htm Ballantyne Resort: http://www.theballantynehotel.com/BallantyneBallroom.cfmhttp://www.theballantynehotel.com/EP_FloorPlans.cfmMint Museum:  http://www.mintmuseum.org/host-your-event-at-the-mint.htmlWestin: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/meetings/building_chart.html?propertyID=1383&buildingKey=291831&floorKey=all
