If you’re craving a dose of classic Southern elegance, tucked right in the heart of Charlotte’s historic Plaza Midwood neighborhood at 2010 The Plaza, Charlotte, NC 28205, then let me introduce you to the VanLandingham Estate. This isn’t just another pretty mansion—it’s a full-on, fairytale-level experience wrapped in lush gardens, timeless architecture, and undeniable charm. Whether you're planning a romantic wedding, a swanky event, or just want to wander the grounds and dream big, this place delivers a major “wow” factor.

🌳 A Mansion with a Story

Built in the early 1900s, the VanLandingham Estate was originally home to Ralph VanLandingham, a wealthy book publisher and civic leader. Today, it stands as one of Charlotte’s most treasured historic landmarks. With its beautifully preserved Colonial Revival-style architecture, sprawling lawns, and serene gardens, it’s like stepping into a Southern Gatsby dream.

The estate’s interior is just as jaw-dropping—think grand staircases, original hardwood floors, and period-style décor that’ll make you want to throw on a vintage gown and start quoting Gone with the Wind. The whole place oozes vintage glam, yet still feels warm and welcoming.

🎓 Perfect Spot for Any Occasion

This gem isn’t just about looking pretty (though it does that flawlessly). The VanLandingham Estate is one of Charlotte’s most beloved venues for:

• Weddings – Say “I do” under the shade of ancient oak trees or inside the dreamy grand ballroom.

• Corporate Events – Impress your coworkers with a backdrop that’s far from basic.

• Private Parties – Birthdays, anniversaries, or any reason to raise a glass.

The estate offers full-service event coordination, catering, and accommodations. Yes—you can even stay overnight in one of their charming guest rooms. It’s Southern hospitality at its finest.

🌿 The Gardens: Nature’s Luxury Lounge

• Blooming hydrangeas

Bring your camera, your dog (on a leash!), or just a good book. You’ll want to spend some time soaking it all in.
