All the different kinds of sweeteners and they have sweet cream, half and half, French vanilla, and hazelnut creamer. Individual cup coffee makers that grind the beans as you wait on the cup. The breakfast is great too! Turkey sausage, pork sausage, cheese omelets, really good sausage and gravy with biscuits, a very cool pancake maker (it makes two at a time but one is small) instead of having to wait on waffle makers. I'm pretty pleased with this stay!

I stayed here while in town for a wedding since it was the closest hotel to the venue. The staff…read morewere very friendly and helpful at check-in. I had originally booked a suite, but the first room smelled smoky--almost like an overheated vacuum cleaner. The second room smelled strongly of smoke as well, but since I needed to get ready quickly for the wedding, I decided to let it go. To their credit, the staff handled the room change politely, though it almost felt like this was a common issue. Unfortunately, the hallways smelled like marijuana, and there was a lingering "smoking theme" throughout. The carpets felt damp and the rooms were noticeably humid, which made the overall environment less comfortable. While the hotel itself was reasonably clean, it's clear that people are smoking inside, and the property could benefit from better air filtration or moisture control in the rooms. On a positive note, the continental breakfast was much nicer than expected, offering a full hot breakfast rather than just the basics. Overall, I don't feel the stay was worth the rate I paid. For under $100 a night, this hotel would have been acceptable, but at a higher price point it fell short of my expectation.

From the start, Donnie was an absolute joy to work with. His communication was excellent throughout the planning process, and it was clear how much care he and Nicole put into the venue. They've created something truly special and continue to make thoughtful improvements and add features that elevate the experience for couples. The space itself is beautiful and incredibly functional. We loved the separate areas for the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready--it made the day feel relaxed and seamless. One of our favorite touches was being allowed to bury bourbon on the property a month before the wedding as a Southern tradition for good weather. Despite a rainy forecast all week, the tradition worked its magic and our wedding day turned out absolutely beautiful. We couldn't imagine a better place to get married or better people to work with.

For…read morestarters, Donnie and Nicole were professional, kind, and thorough when we toured and were always there for us if we needed anything throughout our engagement. The venue alone was perfect as there were multiple locations to choose from and we had a designated space for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The ability to use the space the day before was so helpful and Donnie and Nicole provided so many resources in-house that you wouldn't even think of (ice, toiletries, extra tables etc.). The look of the barn makes it so easy to decorate as the space alone is a neutral color and the landscape is beautiful! This property is managed and kept so well. Our pictures were perfect as there were so many photo-worthy spots. We cannot thank The Barn at Blue Sky enough for making our wedding spectacular! If you want a venue that is beautiful and is taken care of to the best quality, choose The Barn at Blue Sky Farm!

This complex is something that you might only expect to see in a larger city like Charlotte. The Legrand is an enormous Conference/Event Center located on The Cleveland Community College Campus, right across from the fairgrounds. The exterior has some beautiful architecture and endless glass panels. Last night I attended a shareholder's meeting for Edward Jones and finally got to see the inside. There are three main ballrooms that can be opened up into one large space. The acoustics are incredible. Everything is pretty much new, from the carpeting, to the fixtures to the AV equipment. Legrand also has a state of the art security system, and with the touch of a button the entrances and exits can all be locked down in an emergency. Not sure if there is a kitchen on site for catering or not. From what I heard, to date, all of the catering for events is from outside providers. Looks like a great place for a wedding, party or business meeting!

As far as conference centers can be cool, it is pretty cool. There are several huge ballrooms that can be dressed up or down to host different types of events: wedding receptions, conferences, seminars, luncheons, or other event receptions. The options truly are endless. It appears that you can rent the rooms individually and rent the various accoutrement that go with them (chairs, PA systems, projectors and screens, decor elements). Catering options exist from the kitchen on-site. I was quite surprised by the awesome snack options available at the conference I attended. I am not exactly sure who they get to fill the massive building, but I would definitely recommend it for a Charlotte event. I am sure it is much nicer than your typical hotel ballroom, and my guess is that it's less expensive too.
