The entire experience at Mimosa Lake was beyond anything I could have imagined. The lake and natural beauty of the area made my wedding pictures absolutely beautiful. I had a small wedding with close friends and family and the accommodations were phenomenal: all my party guests were captivated by the views alone. When my husband and I were planning our wedding I told him I wanted to get married at The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake and he agreed. I wanted an outside wedding by the water and this is the perfect place. My wedding was exactly what I wanted. The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake is definitely the perfect place to celebrate one of the most important parts of a couple's lives together.

I have worked with Camelot Meadows both as a mobile bar service and Coordinator. Their venue is beautiful with many unique aspects to it that other venues do not have to offer. Every room is fantastic, even the catering kitchen. I have worked with many venues and they have been one of the best I have worked with and continue to work with as we are consistently booked there through the upcoming years. I recommend them to all of our clients still looking for a venue or one that would like to work with us but need to know what venues we work with. You cannot go wrong with booking Camelot Meadows and I continue to look forward to our partnership moving forward.

The Legacy at Gregory Downs

5.0

Marshville, NC
  • Up to 220 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

quiet + quaint all inclusive + customize-able secluded + connected and most importantly, a Legacy in itself. Our venue offers public access to the family farm of your wildest dreams. Scenery, options, space, adventure, comfort, grace...you name it. Located just outside Charlotte, NC in the north east corner of Union County. Inspired by out late leader of the family, Gregory Moore - We vow to offer a place he would be proud of. One that cultivates family and thrives off Legacy. We would do anything in this world to have him here with us still, but we know for sure he has held our hand through this whole journey. What great things ever came from our comfort zone, right?

I cannot recommend The Legacy at Gregory Downs anymore if I tried. This venue has come together so beautifully. The open fields, BIG gorgeous trees, a large pond, the layout of the buildings, it’s picture perfect. Caitlyn had a vision and it has come to life. She thought of every detail, making sure there were plenty of options for brides to choose from. Even thinking about what kind of patio they designed to make sure a brides dress and veil wouldn’t snag on the pavers (if that’s not an amazing venue owner idk what is). If you are looking for a wedding venue this is it! Can’t forget it’s also perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, special events and so much more! Look them up, tour the venue, contact Caitlyn, you will FALL IN LOVE!!!
