The Duke Mansion Wedding Venue in Charlotte gives off the most royal vibes. This sweet couple fit this venue as if it were created for them! While talking with the groom’s dad, I was told how when this groom graduated college with his engineering degree, his graduation gift was a car- any car he wanted! There was just one stipulation: he got whatever car body he wanted, but had to build the entire engine himself. He almost finished it before the wedding, but unfortunately, COVID put an early stop to production.

As a wedding gift, the father of the groom finished the car for his son and transported the vehicle to NC from CA, making it the coolest getaway car for the newlyweds – and equally cool bragging rights during the wedding.
