A Walk Through Your Wedding Day at The Ballantyne

Imagine this…

Morning Preparations

Your suite is filled with soft natural light spilling across marble floors. The bridal party is enjoying mimosas while hair and makeup begins. Outside your balcony, the Rose Garden is waking up — polished, serene, and perfectly tended.

(You know Zywicki & Co Events will be there making sure every detail is timed, styled, and running effortlessly.)


The Ceremony

The Ballantyne offers multiple ceremony locations, each with its own kind of magic:

The Rose Garden

A truly enchanting outdoor setting — lush, romantic, and framed by seasonal blooms.
Perfect for couples who want to say “I do” surrounded by nature and elegance.

The Terrace

Open-air, scenic, refined — with room for up to 100 guests.
A dream for intimate ceremonies with a view.

Indoor Ceremony Spaces

For climate-controlled comfort or winter weddings, the Union and Overlook Rooms offer romantic architectural detailing and space for up to 120 guests.

Or perhaps you choose the York and Morrison Rooms for a deeply intimate ceremony of 20–60.

Each setting is polished, refined, and ready to match your aesthetic.


Cocktail Hour on the Carolina Balcony

This space is a showstopper. Sweeping views. Open air. A golden-hour glow that makes every photograph painterly.

Your guests mingle with signature drinks in hand as soft music drifts around them.
