I photographed a bridal session in Champagne Manor in Monroe, North Carolina. Unfortunately, it was raining all day so we didn't get any photos outside. So we made the most of it indoors.

If you’re hunting for an elegant and unique wedding venue in the Charlotte area, Champagne Manor should be on your radar. Picture this: a stunning 10,000-square-foot French-style mansion sitting on 44 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with a 15-acre lake.
Oh, and did I mention the sunsets? Yep, they’re unreal. Let’s break down what makes this place a perfect spot to say “I do.”
Why you'll love Champagne Manor
Champagne Manor is where luxury meets charm. From the grand indoor spaces to the peaceful lakeside, you’ll find that it fits just about any wedding vibe—from rustic chic to classic elegance. The mansion’s been compared to the Biltmore Estate, so you know it’s extra.
One of the coolest features? It’s not just the venue. They offer on-site accommodations like guest cottages, so you and your wedding party can stay the whole weekend. It’s like having your very own mini-destination wedding without leaving Charlotte.
Indoor & Outdoor Options
Whether it’s rain or shine, Champagne Manor has got you covered (literally). Their event spaces can handle 200 guests, and they offer both indoor and outdoor setups.
• The Bridal Suite: Perfect for getting ready. Complete with a salon and spa-like bathroom, it’s made for pre-wedding glam sessions.
• The Heated Tent: This is a game-changer. It gives you an indoor-outdoor vibe without worrying about the weather. Plus, they’re planning to upgrade it soon to make it even better!
When I did a bridal portrait session here, it was raining all day, so we kept things indoors. Honestly, it still turned out epic, but their outdoor grounds? Pure magic. I can’t wait to shoot there when the sun’s out.
Reviews from real couples
Couples who’ve tied the knot at Champagne Manor are singing its praises. One bride, Ashley, said:
“Jason and his team went above and beyond. We didn’t feel stressed once, and having a heated tent made our indoor-outdoor wedding perfect. The bridal suite was AMAZING!”
Another reviewer, Kelly, mentioned:
“The owner was in constant communication and worked closely with vendors to make sure everything was seamless. The options available made planning a breeze, and our day was perfect!”

Champagne Manor is a bit of a splurge, but trust me, it’s worth it. Here’s a quick look at the costs:
• Ceremony and Reception Fees (Peak Season): Starting at $8,241
• Off-Peak Season: Rates start around $7,982
• What’s Included? You’ll get access to the bridal suite, tables, chairs, parking, and full setup. All you need to bring is yourself and your bae!
