About This Vendor
Historic Inn in the Dilworth neighborhood
The Morehead Inn is a historic wedding venue nestled in the picturesque Dilworth neighborhood of Charlotte, NC. The estate was built in 1917 by London architect William Peeps for C.C. Coddington, who brought the first Buick south of the Mason-Dixon line. Now a renovated boutique hotel as well as an event space, the manor combines retro charm with modern comfort. It welcomes couples through its splendid doors to celebrate their romantic day, surrounded by Southern hospitality. For your ceremony and reception, you will have access to The Morehead Inn’s distinct event spaces. Exchange your vows in the secluded courtyard or gardens, or take advantage of the tastefully-furnished indoor locations and sweeping staircase. These include the Tea Room, Library, Main Floor, and the Front Patio. Each of these rooms features breathtaking chandeliers, antique furniture, intimate fireplaces, and elegant vintage accents. The property also comes with twelve luxurious overnight accommodations where you and your guests can relax and rejuvenate over the wedding weekend. These suites boast four-poster beds, eco-friendly amenities, WiFi, cable tv, plush robes, and linens. We work with Something Classic as the exclusive providers of all catering, bar, and rental needs. We will work with you to create a completely customized experience, as we believe your wedding day should reflect your unique love story! We will build a custom menu, layout, and experience for you and your guests.

The Morehead Inn delivered the wedding of our dreams—I can’t say it much better than that! We toured a few venues in Charlotte, with Morehead being our last stop. Let’s just say we were blown away. Despite having held a wedding the night before, the team had laid out a sample table and table setting for us to see, and took us on a full tour of the public spaces and private rooms. You can rent the inn for an entire weekend, including the guest rooms, which is what we did—and it was a fantastic experience for us and our wedding party and family who stayed there. Having all of our VIP’s right there was wonderful, and they got to enjoy the beautiful guest rooms and hospitality of the Morehead. Their team delivered on every level—from big tasks like elaborate room flips to the tiny details, like bringing up snacks and cider to our grandmother who has limited mobility. The absolute care and joy that the team brings to their work was clear in everything they did.We have to give the biggest shoutout ever to Brooke, Venue & Events Director, who was our point of contact. From the first tour to the end of our wedding night, Brooke was there with us. I think we sent her about a zillion emails and a trillion questions, and she answered them all with speed, kindness, and know-how. She is an asset to the Morehead and truly made our experience so special and personal. You can tell that she loves her work. When we realized we hadn’t brought firewood for our after party around the fire pit out back, she went above and beyond and had her team go out and get some—the smores around the fire pit were an incredible end to the night.The Morehead Inn’s catering partner, Something Classic, did an incredible job as well. Hannah was our bartender and breakfast server as well as general rockstar, she brought such a lovely energy to the event! Every bite of food we had was delicious, and their menus had so many great choices for us to select from. We loved how flexible they were with drinks as well–we were able to do signature cocktails, which our guests loved. The decor and design of the Inn itself are beautiful—classic, with a touch of flair. This means that all of our photos turned out especially pretty, because the backdrop of the inn is so gorgeous. We got married in December, and the Inn had lovely Christmas decor that was timeless and beloved by our guest—many photos were taken under their Christmas trees!Brooke and the Morehead want to bring your vision to life—and they clearly love to throw beautiful, imaginative, special, intimate events. We had an incredible time (and so did our guests) at the Inn. We truly cannot recommend them enough—visit, and you will see why!

Brooke, the venue planner was whole heartedly invested in making our vision come true! She would respond so quickly, professionally and most of all, patiently!! The whole staff was wonderful!

Dorrys was warm and wonderful from the first smile! We absolutely loved our elegant and cozy wedding and reception here. Outdoor wedding was picturesque and indoor reception provided many spaces for people to gather and chat. Great dancing even though we didn't order the dance floor--was a ball! To-die-for spiral staircase for photos. And excellent food. Would love to do it all over again!

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. After having to cancel our destination wedding the year before, we were in a time crunch to find something local that we also loved. From our first meeting with Dorrys, to saying goodbye the night of our wedding, we had such a great experience. She kept us on track schedule-wise but was never too pushy when we needed time to discuss and make decisions. Communication was prompt and we planned everything from beginning to end in about 3 months. We were given lots of options to cater to our vision. Although, we didn't need to come with much vision as The Morehead Inn sells itself. We needed minimal to zero decor - the place is beautiful. Having the catering in-house was also a plus, one less vendor to juggle. Dorrys stayed around the entire evening making sure that we had all we needed. The entire staff was wonderful. Our guests raved about it. If you're looking for a venue that's intimate and quite different from your standard ballroom, in the city, yet tucked away surrounded by beautiful scenery, this is your place!

Can't say enough great things about the Morehead Inn! It's beautifully decorated and has abundant indoor and outdoor space. We held our wedding reception here and were blown away at every detail - the rooms were incredible, the food was delicious and the staff was so kind and accommodating. We rented all the rooms in the Inn and were able to extend the wedding well into the night - such a unique and awesome perk to the space! We'd highly recommend anyone choose this venue!

We held our wedding reception at The Morehead Inn and cannot recommend it enough. The Inn is gorgeous, both indoors and outdoors, so we hardly needed additional decor. It’s located in the heart of Charlotte, so it was convenient for guests to get to while still being able to explore other parts of the city. The food at our reception was amazing—we received so many compliments from our guests on how delicious everything was. We were required to book all the rooms for the weekend, and it ended up working out perfectly that our entire wedding party could stay there. Everyone had a comfortable stay and we were able to gather around the fire pit after the reception to continue celebrating with s’mores and cigars. The Inn provides a fantastic breakfast included in the price of each room, so it was nice to enjoy breakfast together Saturday and Sunday mornings. One thing to be conscious of is that the space for the dance floor/band isn’t too big, and the neighborhood does not allow amplified music outdoors. We made it work by using a five-person band and holding the wedding party intros and first dances in the main living room. We had around 100 guests at the reception and felt like there was plenty of space for traffic flow and for guests to mingle and sit. The best part of the Morehead Inn though has to be the people—the entire staff was warm, welcoming, and dedicated to making sure we had the best weekend. Dorrys, the events coordinator, was a joy to work with and her enthusiasm during our initial tour sold us on selecting the Inn as our reception venue. She was so helpful and honest with her suggestions during the planning process and really took care of each meticulous detail. We will always be grateful to the Morehead Inn and its wonderful staff, as we truly had the perfect wedding weekend there.

We chose appetizers from the catering menu and it was absolutely delicious. There were option for some amazing food and it was very hard to choose!

Highly recommend this venue!! We had our wedding at The Morehead Inn in December of 2020. We were able to rent the entire Inn for the whole weekend. Wedding planning in 2020 was extremely stressful! However Dorrys, the on-site event planner, eased my stress the entire planning process. We had originally placed to have the ceremony at a separate location, but due to COVID restrictions that plan fell through. Thankfully we were able to move it to the Inn easily and I’m so glad we did! Dorrys never batted an eye and promised me they would make it the wedding I always dreamed of, and it was! The location is beautiful and classic. Plenty of background options for your photos, either outside, or inside in front of one of the fireplace, or on the grand staircase! The catering was amazing. All of our guest told us how it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! They had plenty of options to choose from when planning the menu. Including mini chicken and waffles for hor dourves! Which we thought was so fun and unique! The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. Since our party had rented the entire Inn for the weekend we quite literally had access to the entire building. They made it feel like our home for the weekend! My wedding was a everything I ever wanted. It truly felt like a movie! I can’t imagine having it anything other than at The Morehead Inn.

I would strongly recommend NOT getting married at the Morehead Inn. My best friend held her wedding here and the on site event planner was absolutely awful. She was difficult to work with throughout their planning phases, and rescheduled the tasting multiple times. During the wedding there was a severe thunderstorm, and, even though a tent was in place, all the gutters let out onto the covered patio and the ground was a pool. Due to the lightning, they decided to move the wedding inside. This escalated to a screaming match between the on-site wedding coordinator and the family. It was incredibly stressful and not the environment any bride desires for her special day.

DO NOT BOOK A WEDDING HERE!!!! This venue was a nightmare of rudeness, negligence and poor customer service for my daughter, who used them for her wedding venue. They got a new \"wedding coordinator\" in 2019, when the old coordinator left. From failure to get necessary tent permits after 100 reminders, to gutters that drain into their only outdoor space and flood it into a lake, to forcing guests to move furniture when their outdoor space flooded, to multiple cancelled menu tastings, to one of 2 toilets for 100 guests put out of commission before the ceremony started, to serving buffet style after guests paid for individually cooked breakfasts, topped with arrogant and anti-customer behavior on the part of their \"wedding coordinator\

DO NOT BOOK A WEDDING HERE!!!! This venue was a nightmare of rudeness, negligence and poor customer service for my daughter, who used them for her wedding venue. They got a new \"wedding coordinator\" in 2019, when the old coordinator left. From failure to get necessary tent permits after 100 reminders, to gutters that drain into their only outdoor space and flood it into a lake, to forcing guests to move furniture when their outdoor space flooded, to multiple cancelled menu tastings, to one of 2 toilets for 100 guests put out of commission before the ceremony started, to serving buffet style after guests paid for individually cooked breakfasts, topped with arrogant and anti-customer behavior on the part of their \"wedding coordinator\

I cannot say enough great things about our experience with the Morehead Inn. Ashley was an absolute dream to work with. She made the entire process so easy and pleasant from start to finish. She listened to my description of how we wanted our wedding to look and feel and went over and above to make that happen. It could not have been more perfect and I can’t thank her enough. Even when we were dealing with the possibility of rain she gave us all the options and let us know we had the final say so. There was never any pressure or stress through the whole process. Chef Myra was absolutely perfect. We wanted to do something a little different and she jumped right on board. She had so many great suggestions and the food was absolutely fantastic. You don’t often say that about wedding reception food but I’m still getting messages about how great the food was! Every staff member that worked there was so friendly and warm. They made my family feel just like we were staying in their personal house. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing! I will recommend the Morehead Inn to anyone looking for a venue that gives you that personal attention and intimate feeling.

The Morehead Inn was the perfect wedding venue for me! The entire house is gorgeous and gave my wedding a very cozy, intimate feel. I had my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all inside the house and I loved how it all turned out! The outside grounds are also beautiful - the places for great photos are endless. The staff at the Inn pulled off everything for my event flawlessly. Everyone was so nice and my event planner truly helped me create the wedding of my dreams! I loved having guests be able to stay right there at the Inn the night of the wedding and then getting to have a wonderful breakfast all together the next morning. The food was absolutely delicious (both on the wedding day and for breakfast). I'm so thankful I found this gem early in the wedding planning process. I would chose the venue again in a heartbeat! If you want a southern, elegant wedding that makes you feel like you're right at home when you are getting married, then definitely check out the MHI!

My experience with MHI was by far the biggest disappointments I endured as a bride. I do not want another couple to have to go through what we went through with them. MHI was recommended by my wedding Planner, Angela, who told us that they would accommodate our every need. This was important to us b/c would be showcasing my Lao culture, which means the food above all else had to be precise. In Sept 2013, we went to go visit the space and the Coordinator there, Jackie, told us that the Chef would be able to customize our menu & if there are dishes that he wouldn’t be able to replicate, they would allow for outside catering. \rApril 4th was the date that the final head count was due as well as the remaining balance. The invoice amount was wrong & it showed us being charged for the tasting. Angela she said that she would consult with Billy and Kaylie. She told me not to pay & said that we would clear the issue by the weekend. She also told me that she worked on a wedding with them in the past where the couple did not pay MHI until the day of their wedding so we should be fine. \rWe received the revised invoice over the weekend and upon reviewing it w/ Angela; we were not able to conclude how they came up with the calculation. April 7th I asked Kaylie to revise it so I knew exactly what I was being charged for. She said that the Accounting Dept would not be able to provide this for me but that if we got overcharged, they would refund us after the wedding. So essentially, they ask us to pay them based on good faith but the ironic thing is that there was no good faith on their part b/c what happened next is obvious who Billy, the owner, is and how he treats his clients. \rWe agreed to make the pymt on April 8th even though we didn’t agree with the amount we were charged for. I emailed Kaylie that morning and said that my fiancé would call her with the credit card number, which she told us was ok to do. By midday, we received an email from Kaylie who said that Billy told her to tell us that they would no longer take our cc and that the only form of pymt he would accept would be cash or cashier’s check or our event would be cancelled. We were shocked by this since our agreement stated that credit card is the appropriate form of pymt. We sent Billy our cc info & told him that he could run the transaction since that was a valid form of payment in our contract. The next day he sent us a threatening email demanding cash and that he would take us to court b/c we breached our contract by cancelling our event. We reminded him that he was the one that said our event would be cancelled if we didn’t provide the other form of pymt and because of his nasty behavior; we did not want do business with him anymore. On April 10th he ran our credit card without notifying us and told Angela that we could still have our event there. We were livid that Billy charged our card after he cancelled our event and demanded we pay him in cash. \rWe ended up having to pay them the $6k but we did not have our event with them because we could not trust them after all this. The way we were treated caused my fiancé and I so much stress during our final days before our big day. For all those who fall in love with the MHI, let me forewarn you that the owner Billy is not someone who you can depend on to treat you like a bride deserves. Feel free to contact me for details. \r\r

I loved the Morehead Inn. It had the vintage charm that I was going for. I originally didn't want an outdoor wedding, but since they had the option to move the wedding inside in case of bad weather it was perfect. I had about 125 guests and there was plenty of room for them all. Since it's an old house the rooms are separated, which was great for the DJ. People could dance in one room and those who wanted to talk weren't overwhelmed by the music. The staff was also fantastic.

I loved the quaintness of the Inn, and the individuality of the rooms - we had a daytime wedding, so (in all honesty) it could have been better. When we have boatloads of money, we're going to get married there again and have an evening reception and 'do it up right'.;It's quite expensive - if you have a Saturday evening wedding, you're required to rent out the entire estate. BUT - it's totally worth it if you're having that many people anyway. It was only 1,750 to rent the whole Inn (not including overnight stays).
