The Palmer Building

I love The Palmer Building. One of the biggest obstacles I had was finding a venue for our wedding ceremony/​reception. I had one I was working with before finding The Palmer Building and they were terrible. The event coordinator was terribly unresponsive, unhelpful, there were fees and extra costs that were not given up front. I walked away from them and then went on my hunt for a new venue. After looking at a ton of options I found TPB. I spoke to Tom, the president and after meeting him and Anjie the event coordinator I was sold on the spot. The venue itself is gorgeous outside and inside. The cost may seem high at first but after you look at everything you get for the cost and there are NO hidden fees you realize that it’s actually a GREAT deal. So not only are they a good value and so nice and wonderful to work with but the day of our wedding and reception everything was smooth and seamless. If you are looking for a venue, this is your place. Great people, great location, beautiful scenery inside and out and great value.

There are plenty of medium — large ish event venues in Charlotte. Some are new, some are old and some are just pretty cool. The Palmer Building falls into the old & cool categories.
This 1930s fireman’s hall is restored but still hosts plenty of character with its gorgeous brick façade, dark wood floors and open banquet space. There’s also a nice stage space which is perfect for a small production, speech or screen drop.
I’ve been here for a few different events and have enjoyed the space thoroughly. Parking can be a bit tight out front, but there’s usually a fair amount of room near the back. If you’re looking for a cool event or reception space, The Palmer Building should be on your short list!

The Palmer Building is an old firehouse turned into a great event space. Fireplace, stage, two-​story ceiling, bathrooms and a great staff made perfect use for the recent Red Pump/​Red Tie event.
Located off 7^th street and Firefighters Lane/​drive, the building us tucked at the end. Parking is plentiful all around the building. If you’re attending an event there with a cash bar, make sure to pick up some cash before as there’s no ATM. Closet ATM is on Monroe one mile away.
