The Terrace at Cedar Hill

The Terrace at Cedar Hill is the Best Impressions venue on Westmere Avenue, just west of Uptown. The venue is a converted warehouse with a view of the Charlotte skyline and Bank of America Stadium, and it comes into its own after dark when the city lights up. The room has good flow between ceremony, cocktails and dinner. Guest parking is included, which removes one of the more annoying problems of a city wedding. Couples who want a traditional look should tour it in person first, because it is unmistakably industrial.
