I've been to the Heritage House as a guest/attendee a few times - for events both grand and simple…read more- and nothing ever seemed out of place. Easy to find heading east from the interstate on Plaza Drive / Hwy 150, less than a mile after the bend and set back a little from the street. Big fountain up front (which may or may not be gurgling) and plenty of parking in a lot shared with the funeral home around back. The facility itself is clean, simple, and medium fancy; suitable for quiet dignified affairs but easily dressed up for elegance or extravagance and there's a patio around the fountain if the weather is agreeable, also has a large canopied entrance fronting a foyer if the weather turns foul. The kitchen is equipped with coolers, heaters, ice machine and dish washer to handle your food service needs. Last time in was for an anniversary party seating 100+ people plus a two-line buffet with space enough for dancing and cavorting into the evening. I can't say as how I cared much for the music selection but that's more on the hostess than the facility.

We live in the Charlotte area and needed a venue for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception. We were…read morelooking for an Elegant venue to accommodate our over 150 guests for a reasonable rate. We found The Heritage House via google. Our first contact was with a very pleasant woman named Andrea. She answered every question I had without rushing me and then offered a tour of the event space. The Venue was very easy to locate and looked nice from the outside with a big fountain out front Perfect for pictures. When we first walked in the building it smelt and looked very clean(which was very important to me). Andrea was as pleasant in person as on the phone and everything she said about the space was accurate from the big screen TVs and kitchen to a sound system and other modern amenities. Simply put this Venue was everything we were looking for to make our special day amazing, Thank you Andrea and Heritage House LaDonnia and Jeffrey

I am not damaging your business. I spoke the truth…read more We did agree on many things. Some of this would include the empty vases above the mantle, and the snacks and drinks (in the contract) for the bridal suite and grooms suite. The groom and groomsmen weren't even taken to the suite. The contract was for you to be there. My decision in choosing Villa Franca had as much to do with you as the beauty of the property. I trusted you with one of the most important days of my life and it wasn't important enough for you to attend. You worked with me for months and then a month before my wedding you decided that going to Florida with your husband was more important. The original issues are the same. The bartender did not do his job well. The venue is ill-prepared for rain. Things that should have been setup were not. The fact that you keep reiterating that they were agreed upon just makes it worse! Yes, they were agreed upon. But the venue didn't follow through. I apologize profusely if there was a broken lamp. I also do not know of any liquor, and I do truly apologize for that as well. You should know me well enough that I would be humiliated if these were true. You have lost my trust so I'm not sure to believe you or if you are accusing me of things to undermine my review. I will say again, the coordinator and your staff were fantastic. I hold you accountable because you are the owner and I signed a contract with you.

Everything that we discussed for the wedding was completed as requested and they went above and beyond to make sure Mackenzie and Taylor's day was special. Even though we had extra guests attend, they quickly set up extra tables and place settings to make sure all guests had a seat. She was always there asking if we needed anything and made sure our requests were honored. The 3 new chandeliers inside the draped tent are breath taking. We all loved them. I would recommend this venue to others who are planning a special wedding in a country setting. Nora Patterson-Proud mother of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Patterson (Mackenzie Holshouser-Patterson)

The owners hope to install air conditioning. It was 91 when we arrived and felt slightly hotter in the barn. Decorated beautifully, but 100 + guests were slowly melting as the evening wore on. BATHROOMS WERE ROOMY AND AIR CONDITIONED. SUGGESTIONS: 1. Black out upper sky windows where sun shines in on wedding party and guest tables . 2. Insulate and caulk building. 3. Replace rough large gravel on walkways with small pebbles. Large gravel is an ankle sprain waiting to happen .

While it took a bit to get there (lots of turns and country roads) I was very impressed by the setting. From the location where Joe and Jen were married to the barn where we drank, ate, and danced. The decor was beautiful. I loved the way they set everything up. There were approximately 100 people in attendance. There was plenty of room. This venue met the personality of the bride and groom. The entire evening was organized yet laid back. The owner was there to assist with any needs. I didn't realize he was the owner as he appeared to be one of the guests! I recommend this venue if your want to be married at a beautiful location in the country. They appear to be busy so visit and schedule ahead of time. There are lots of additional information on their website!
