This post is brought to you in partnership with Levine Museum of the New South.

With a mission to engage its audience in the diverse history of the South since the Civil War, and a focus on Charlotte and the surrounding Carolina Piedmont, Levine Museum of the New South preserves and interprets the materials, sights, sounds and ideas that illumine and enliven this history.

This liveliness introduces a modern take without losing too much of its historical touch, making the museum the perfect spot to host your wedding ceremony and cocktail hours.

Here are four other reasons to host your wedding at Levine Museum of the New South.

(1) Uptown and Unconventional

Levine Museum is obviously not your typical wedding venue. Starting at $2,000, you and your fiancé can enjoy the beautiful atrium and lobby of the museum in the heart of Uptown, with the Charlotte skyline as your backdrop.

Pro tip: Head next door to the 7th Street Public Parking Deck or First Ward Park to capture the city in the background of your wedding photos.

(2) Added entertainment for your wedding guests

The Museum’s exhibitions are part of every wedding package. Guests are allowed, and even encouraged, to walk through the museum’s Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers exhibition to learn more about Charlotte’s post-Civil War history.

Pro tip: Take your bridal party photos on Main Street in the exhibition.

(3) Flexibility

Levine Museum is one of the few wedding venues to offer a long list of approved caterers and vendors.

Pro tip: See one that’s not on the list? Run it by the museum’s events manager to create the wedding of your dreams.

(4) Added benefits
