Welcome to The Rafters at Historic St. Mark’s, the venue with a Mission
The Rafters at Historic St. Mark’s will be your ideal wedding destination. The multi-building campus sits just fifteen minutes from uptown Charlotte, but also feels worlds away, tucked into 14 secluded acres of century-old trees. The Rafters offers the perfect destination for your most important day, with everything from the church to the reception all in one location. Crafted with southern charm and offering modern amenities, the exposed beam reception hall wraps you and your guests in grandeur and beauty befitting the occasion. Along with its beauty and versatility, The Rafters is a venue with a mission...literally a Mission, where proceeds from The Rafters goes to support Flyin' Lion Ministries, a culinary school for transition to empowerment and employment for adults with exceptional needs.
