    Great Venue in Waxhaw

    I attended the grand opening and was blown away how it was updated with a modern taste but the integrity of the building still remains. Everything from the light fixtures, the floors and the addition of the deck makes it a perfect extension of the main space!!

    Sharron Debnam•Apr 7, 2026

    Thank you so much! It was such a joy having you at the grand opening. We put a lot of heart into every detail, and it means so much that you felt that. Truly grateful for your support!

    Wedding

    From the moment we walked into Legacy Rise Venue, we felt like family instead of just clients. The team was on time with everything and showed genuine dedication to making our wedding day special. The space itself is spacious and gives you plenty of room to create the exact atmosphere you want. What impressed us most was their honesty about pricing and their Godly values that came through in how they treated us and our guests. The quality of service combined with their fair prices made Legacy Rise an easy choice we don't regret for a second. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that truly cares.
