The MINT MUSEUM RANDOLPH, located in what was the original branch of the United States Mint, opened in 1936 as the first art museum in North Carolina. Today, the first of The Mint Museum’s two locations has a gorgeous park setting complete with a picturesque fountain and brick pathways and provides a beautiful backdrop for Charlotte weddings.

Whether you are looking for an intimate setting for a sit down dinner reception or a space large enough to accommodate 600 of your dearest friends and family, the Mint Museum Randolph fits the bill. Ample parking and the convenience of location to Uptown for out of town guests accommodations are another reason to book a tour of the Mint Museum Randolph.

Scoop Tip: Admission is free on Wednesday evenings from 5pm to 9pm if you want to scope it out before making an appointment!

Consider what local bride Laura Graff, a Public Relations professional has to say about the venue. She and her husband, Michael Graff—formerly the editor of Charlotte Magazine—married at Mint Museum Randolph in 2017.


Mint Museum Randolph provided a gorgeous, natural space for our outdoor wedding and ceremony. We used the front lawn for our ceremony and the expansive brick terrace for our reception, with the exception of having the food set up inside. It was the most beautiful September weekend, so we didn’t have to tent the outdoor area, which was great! We just worked with the natural landscape, and Nectar provided some amazing florals that worked with our palate and fit in with the venue. The event coordinator at the Mint was so easy to work with, and she made the planning process very easy on us. Plus the location close to Uptown was convenient for our out-of-town guests.  Laura Graff – recent Mint Museum Bride
