Say “I do” in a 1920s speakeasy with candlelight, live jazz, and a menu crafted just for you. Where every detail whispers elegance.
Ceremonies & Receptions for 20 – 200 Guests
Tucked inside Ballantyne Village, C&W Steakhouse is not your typical wedding venue. Dark wood paneling, moody lighting, and the low hum of live jazz create an atmosphere that feels like stepping into a private 1920s supper club — one where every guest is on the list and every detail has been curated just for you.
Chef James designs a bespoke menu for every wedding, from prime dry-aged steaks to delicate seasonal courses. Our craft cocktail bar creates signature drinks that become part of your story. And our Special Events Coordinator, Elle Dudeck, manages every detail so you never have to.
Whether you dream of an intimate 30-person candlelit dinner or a 200-guest celebration spilling onto our tent-covered terrace, C&W transforms into the wedding venue you have been imagining.
