9 venues that publish a starting price under $5,000 — and what that price really covers.
These are the Charlotte venues whose own websites show a starting price under $5,000. Every figure below is quoted from the venue's own site and links back to the page it came from.
Read the starting price as the cheapest possible date. A venue that lists "from $3,900" almost always means a Monday in the off season. The same room on a Saturday in June is routinely double. Use this list to build a shortlist worth phoning, not to plan a budget.
Two things worth knowing about how thin this ground is. Of the 46 venues we researched in Charlotte, only 17 publish any pricing at all — the rest quote by inquiry. And of those, 9 start under $5,000. So this is close to the complete public picture, not a selection.
