Why Couples Love The Grande Victorian
The Grande Victorian is an 1884 Queen Anne style estate on six acres just outside historic downtown Monroe. The lovingly restored 12,000 square foot home has one of the largest bridal suites in the Carolinas, complete with a hair and makeup studio, kitchenette, and lounge. Ceremonies happen under the covered outdoor pavilion with its exposed red brick, cocktail hour moves to the manicured courtyard, and receptions take place in the 5,000 square foot formal ballroom with black and white checkered floors and chandeliers.
