What this guide covers

Charlotte Occasions Guide helps you plan weddings, parties and corporate events in the Charlotte area. It follows the order an event follows: setup, permits, tents, choosing help, budget and timeline, and the neighborhoods where events happen.

The guides explain how City of Charlotte permits work, when the Charlotte Fire Department requires approval for a tent, what a planner does and what a budget should include. Six venue sheets describe Uptown, South End and Dilworth, NoDa and Plaza Midwood, University City, SouthPark and Myers Park, and Ballantyne.

Limits

Nothing here is legal, safety or financial advice. Permit rules, fees and phone numbers change, so confirm details with the office that issues the permit before you commit to a date.
