At the 1812 Hitching Post, a historic Statesville, North Carolina wedding venue, we believe the moments before the ceremony deserve just as much care as the celebration itself. Our private wedding party dressing rooms are thoughtfully designed to welcome every couple and every love story, whether you choose to get ready together or enjoy separate spaces with your closest people.
Located in the heart of Iredell County, just north of Lake Norman and an easy drive from Charlotte, our getting-ready spaces are set inside a lovingly restored historic home. Vintage details, soft natural light, and an abundance of mirrors create an elegant and relaxed atmosphere—perfect for hair, makeup, and those meaningful, behind-the-scenes photos couples cherish most. Two full bathrooms and a dedicated makeup room allow everyone to move comfortably, while a cozy playroom offers a welcoming space for children.
One of the most photographed features of our Statesville wedding venue is the sweeping balcony that spans the entire front of the house. Overlooking the grounds and framed by classic Southern architecture, it provides a stunning backdrop for first looks, wedding party portraits, and quiet moments before the ceremony begins.
More than just a place to prepare, our bridal dressing rooms offer a calm, beautiful setting where anticipation builds, connections deepen, and the story of your wedding day begins—comfortably, inclusively, and surrounded by timeless charm at one of the most beloved North Carolina historic wedding venues near Charlotte..
