Byron’s South End

I attended a wedding a Byron’s South End in August. From the exterior, it does not look like a large space or wedding venue, but as we made our way through the industrial and artistic courtyard, a beautiful ballroom was waiting for us in the back of the property. The industrial/​rustic feel of the courtyard continued inside with exposed brick, beams and eclectic light fixtures.
They had a bar set up in the corner; as the crowd piled in for cocktail hour, the line at the bar got kind of long. I think it would have been helpful if they had more than one bar set up. The bride and groom decided to do stations for dinner. There was a Southern themed station with shrimp and grits, a fajita station, mashed potato, a carving station and salad bar. The shrimp and grits were hands down, my favorite! The fajitas were second runner up. The service staff was great at clearing plates, though I do recall wishing they had refilled our waters more frequently. The dance floor was the perfect size for group, though the bar situated in the corner, up a few steps, which made it somewhat tight and awkward to get drinks throughout the night.
Overall Byron’s South End hosted a beautiful wedding! I recommend it.

I’ve been here for a handful of company events over the years. It’s an interesting set up. As you walk in there is a little coffee shop just before the courtyard. To get to Byron’s you have to go through the courtyard. Once inside, it a beautiful space that would be great for wedding receptions, company events (like the ones I’ve attended) and any other function that would require space. The food is always wonderful and the staff is friendly. Parking can be a little limited but it’s really close to the Lynx light rail (East/​West Blvd stop). If you get a chance to attend an event here, go!

I was here for a wedding that my fiancée was performing and the place is a beautiful spot for a wedding/​rehearsal dinner. Exposed brick, unique spaces and responsive staff (last minute change from outdoor wedding to indoor due to weather) make this a great place to be.
Parking can be confusing, but there is a dedicated lot across the street.

I was here for a wedding reception. It was absolutely beautiful! The food was all very tasty! I loved the little spot outside in the middle of the building. It was the perfect setting for cocktail hour and listening to a band.

Per a recent Social Media Charlotte breakfast, I had the pleasure of finally checking out Byon’s South End. And, frankly, it’s a bit sad it took me this long as I live only a few blocks away.
Whether you’re hosting a wedding reception, large party, special event, etc. — this place is pretty cool. Neatly organized in South End, Byron’s sports plenty of nearby parking options and walkability to some tasty watering holes if you want to continue the festivities.
Inside Byron’s is a very cool open air atrium of sorts with plenty of space and interesting fixtures. The main dining area (and I assume where a dance floor would also be) is spacious and comfortable. The breakfast I attended easily accommodated 100 people — I imagine Bryon’s could fit 200+ without breaking a sweat.
If South End is your jam and you’re looking for a flexible event space with interesting outdoor and indoor options, the staff to manage a site and even a kitchen in the basement area — Byron’s is a sure fire option.
