Founders Hall offers a huge indoor and outdoor space. The staff were very responsive and there was tons of parking. The girls were able to get ready in the lounge which has its own full-size fridge and bathroom. This venue had everything we needed for just over 90 guests!

I was looking for an indoor venue and Founders Hall was perfect because it also included the screen porch so guests could get fresh air. I've seen this venue dressed up for events prior so I know it could be versatile. I would recommend renting draping to cover the TV's because otherwise it can look a little corporate. I also rented different chairs to match my look but I did use their tables which was a nice perk. The venue was perfect for what we needed and a pictures are beautiful! Not to mention it was significantly less expensive than some other options. One other thing was that it has a nice big parking lot and is very easy to access by Uber/lyft. I loved it and would highly recommend.

Founders Hall is a gorgeous venue! We had both our ceremony and reception here. From the moment we saw it, we knew it would be perfect for our wedding. Michelle had great communication and answered any and all questions we had through the whole process. We absolutely loved using Founders Hall for our wedding.

Gorgeous venue! Lovely lawn area we used for the ceremony, screen porch with beautiful fireplace for cocktail hour, very spacious great hall that accomodates up to 300 people comfortably. The staff was always really wonderful about responding to emails and questions I had prior to the wedding. Staff on site day of to handle anything that may come up, of course nothing did. Awesome bridal suite for my 12 bridesmaids and mothers to get ready. This venue is picture perfect and I am so glad we went with Founders Hall for our big day!

Founder's Hall was a fantastic reception venue. It offered plenty of indoor space for 300 people during the July heat. The beautiful porch and glass windows allowed for more seating while making every guest feel part of the action. The fireplace was decorated with candles and lush greenery and made for a fantastic backdrop for photos. Overall the modern space has the ability to take on all styles such as the vintage flare of my own.

Phenomenal venue for our reception! We loved the indoor/outdoor setup and our guests did too! We got to have the dance floor outside which was so much fun. Courtney and the team was great to work with and we are so happy we chose Founders Hall!

This venue provides such a variety of options. You choose your own caterer. You may have an indoor or outdoor ceremony. It's just a beautiful place and their staff was so easy to work with.

Founders Hall offers a friendly staff that tries their best to be accommodating. They were the perfect fit to host our large destination wedding for 180 guests. The venue was large enough that we had separate spaces for our Ceremony (outdoor Lawn), Cocktail Hour (Patio & Porch), Dinner (Main Hall), and our Dance Party (Porch). We fit seating and buffet stations comfortably in the Hall for 180 but wouldn't recommend going much higher than that for guest count if you want them all indoors. I had grand ideas of taking advantage of the grounds and gardens for pictures but it's a lot of ground to cover. Other benefits of this venue are all day access to set up (but only 6 hours event time), separate lounge area and powder room as well as a private patio area, and full kitchen! You also get to utilize all the furniture they have on hand (which is a considerable amount of tables, chairs, and other furniture). Our budget stretched a lot further by using this location and it was lovely!

This was the perfect venue for our reception! Everyone enjoyed and utilized both the indoor and outdoor spaces as well as the screened in porch. The setting is beautiful, the staff is extremely helpful, going above and beyond to help everything come together. We were also able to use the space earlier in the day for the bridal party to get ready.

I got married and had my reception at Founder’s Hall at Charlestowne Landing. The site is beautiful, unique, and the event staff is amazing. The entire building is “green” and has lots of great features like a beautiful wood burning fire place, courtyard, and screened in porch! I wouldn’t have been able to pull of the vision I had without this unique and affordable venue!
