We used 4 of the 6…read morecontiguous rooms for our full group space (welcome and meals for about 110), and used 4 other spaces for our individual workshops holding up to 30 participants each. All spaces were clean and the neutral tones were soothing. Built-in AV with excellent tech service (our teachers use a PowerPoint for much of the day). Dedicated registration area with large surface space held all our name badges and served as a work station for me with plenty of outlets for my laptop, iPad and phone. 1 number to text throughout the day for any type of help request. Plenty of free parking, including underneath the building. The food was outstanding. It was attractively displayed and delicious, from the fresh fruit and bagel station to the hot buffet lunch. Our participants went out of their way to tell me how much they loved it. Lovely artwork on the walls and in glass cases along one of the hallways. I will be rebooking for next fall as soon as I get back to the office!!

Thank you for being part of our events for such a long time, and look forward to working together for many more years.

This convention center is well laid out, clean and the staff is phenomenal…read more I was in town recently for a national conference and was impressed by the professional staff, AV services (especially from Joseph and his tech partner who assisted us in Room W206A), and the staff serving drinks and food for receptions. Everyone I encountered on site this past week was so courteous, hardworking and welcoming. If you are attending an event here, definitely bring a sweater or wear layers, as the rooms were quite cold. Wear comfy shoes too and expect a lot of walking and long bathroom and Starbucks lines, in between conference sessions. But overall, a nice experience here. The food court area offers some quick and affordable lunch options. There are also restaurant and hotel options within a short walk. Be cautious when crossing the public transit lines, as the trains move fast.

The Charlotte Convention Center was probably the most convenient convention I've experienced to…read moredate. LOCATION I attended a conference that was held at the Charlotte Convention Center for a work week and was surprised at how close everything was to the convention. It was surrounded by hotels, restaurants, Whole Foods, a CVS, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. It was easy to get around Uptown from the convention. INSIDE THE CONVENTION: It was easy to navigate within the convention, too, as the signs were clearly labeled. The only thing I thought was odd were the rooms in 206-212 (where you'd have to go down escalators and then come back up). I would have labeled it a different number sequence so as not to be confusing with the other set of rooms in the 200s. I loved that there was a bridge that connected the convention to our hotel (2nd floor of The Westin), as well as access from the NASCAR Hall of Fame directly in front of the Crown Ballroom! CUSTOMER SERVICE & STAFF: Each day during the conference, my coworker and I would walk from our hotel (The Westin, which was across the street) and we would be greeted by the friendliest door greeters / information desk. Also, we went around the Richardson Ballrooms, exhibit hall, smaller rooms, terrace (roof), Crown Ballroom, etc. it was carpeted so it was easy to walk on. The convention staff including the Food & Service team were really nice and were attentive; they made sure to keep the food area tidy and cleared away trash from the tables. The bartenders serving drinks were organized as well. DINING OPTIONS INSIDE THE CONVENTION: The convention had other dining options: Starbucks, Bojangles, Einstein Bagels, and another place to purchase food. Overall, I enjoyed the ease of getting around the convention center, the proximity to hotels and restaurants in Uptown Charlotte, the amenities they offered, and the attentive staff at Charlotte Convention Center.

Finally got a chance to check out this event space! The lovely folks at Lupus Piedmont hosted their…read moreannual Mardi Gras Gala here and it's such a cool event space. From the outside, I would have never expected such potential. The large building is planted very near the tracks off of Tryon & Dalton - just a few minutes from Uptown. Now, I'm sure the space varies per event, but the folks at Lupus decorated it beautifully. Tons of tables, a large bar to the right, dance floor near the stage and plenty of walking around room. Plus, there are two old train cars outside the side doors that are perfect for additional entertainment options - the event last night had a fortune teller and a bones reader in these cars. Per Extravaganza Depot's website, it looks like they are full service event planning and execution company. Capacity wise, the site reads 350 seated and 600 standing and there are adequate restroom facilities and probably 200 parking spaces (total guess here). There aren't too many well put together venues in Charlotte that host these types of numbers, but Extravaganza Depot does offer a great option!

What a GREAT space for ANY party or event! Extravaganza Depot converted part of their warehouse into a venue for parties and events. It's a very cool open space with a back deck that has a GREAT view of the Charlotte Skyline and 2 train cabooses that can be used. Not only do you get a GREAT venue for your party, you get access to the thousands of their props for your party. The folks at Extravaganza Depot were extremely professional, courteous, fun to work with and did a fantastic job! I could go on and on but the bottom line is, Extravaganza Depot is an AMAZING venue for a party or event and they did an AMAZING job and exceeded our very high expectations! We could not be more pleased with our choice to go with the Extravaganza Depot for our very important event! We would totally recommend using Extravaganza Depot for your next event/party!!!

We are planning our holiday party and toward this place with one of the co-owners. His energy and passion alone for the business had me sold on wanting to book the place. But even if he wasn't so amazing I would've booked it just for the space alone. There's so many ways that you can customize what you get to fit your budget. Whether that's a full venue buyout or only renting partial venue. They have in-house Catering, which is amazing. There's so many awesome things about this place. I could go on and on and on, but you have to see it to believe it. Photos and videos definitely don't do this place justice.

The space itself is lovely in that effortless way where the design doesn't try too hard but still feels polished and intentional. The indoor area has plenty of room to breathe and the deck is a real standout, a spot that makes you want to linger a little longer and sip a drink. Parking, though, is its own little adventure. It's not impossible, but it's definitely something you need to plan for unless you like circling like a shark. Arriving early is the move and knowing the small tricks helps, like the architectural firm's spots that are blocked only until 5pm and fair game after that. Once you're parked and inside, the stress melts off pretty quickly, but the logistics are worth keeping in mind so you can actually enjoy what is otherwise a genuinely great venue.
