Getting Here
Our Address:
1812 Hitching Post, 2463 Turnersburg Hwy, Harmony, NC 28634
Please search the address above with GPS directly rather than just “1812 Hitching Post” or “Hitching Post Wedding Venue” to avoid any mix-ups.
A few notes for your drive:
- We’re located in Harmony, NC, in Iredell County — about 45 minutes from Charlotte, just north of Statesville and Lake Norman off of exit 54 from Interstate 77.
- If you’re coming from the east, GPS will take you a back route from Interstate 40 that may make it seem like we’re in the middle of nowhere, but we are just 8 minutes from Statesville. The route from the east is rural and saves time over going through Statesville.
- Please plan to arrive at least 15–20 minutes before the ceremony start time listed on your invitation.
Parking
- On-site parking is plentiful — you won’t need to worry about finding a spot.
- We will have parking attendants available when you arrive.
- You can drop off items or people at the back door; just tell parking attendants that you need the handicap dropoff.
- We do encourage guests to arrange a shuttle or rideshare if alcohol will be part of your evening, simply for everyone’s safety getting home.
