Venues

From corporate lunches to formal dinner and dancing or casual spring weddings, it’s a Garden for all seasons and events.
• 10 Catawba: This building was newly renovated in 2014 and has ample space for both small and large occasions. It’s the perfect place for that special afternoon or evening celebration, all just one-half block from Belmont’s historic downtown.

• Majestic Mill Weddings: The 67,000 square-foot historic building at Catawba River Antique Mall isn’t just for shopping; it is also home to Belmont’s newest wedding venue, Majestic Mill Weddings. This 5,000+ square-foot space is filled with the same rustic, industrial charm as the 109-year-old antique mall, ready for shabby chic, vintage-inspired nuptials.
