Wedding DJ at String and Splinter in High Point, NC

The Space

The String & Splinter was founded in 1956 as a private men’s club by members of High Point’s furniture and hosiery industries, and it started out in the basement of the Sheraton Hotel before the club built its current two-story home in Market Square in downtown High Point. That history is part of what a couple is renting when they book the room: a private club with 70 years behind it rather than a purpose-built banquet hall. The club’s membership base, drawn originally from High Point’s furniture and hosiery trades, still shapes the room’s formal, understated character today.

The ballroom is the room most couples will use, with a black and white tile floor and a grand chandelier overhead, a formal look built for the club’s original membership rather than staged for weddings. The club also has outdoor seating areas, giving a couple the option to move part of the event, a cocktail hour or a ceremony, outside the ballroom itself.

Capacity & Layout

The venue holds up to 80 guests, a number that keeps a wedding here on the intimate end and rules the room out for a large guest list from the start. That capacity fits the ballroom’s scale: a formal, tiled room built for a club dinner rather than a sprawling reception hall.

Multiple event spaces are available within the club beyond the main ballroom, which gives a couple room to separate a ceremony from a reception, or a cocktail hour from dinner, without moving guests off the property entirely. The mix of indoor rooms and outdoor seating areas is the real layout tool here, more than square footage in any single room.

Amenities

The club runs its own restaurant and a full bar, with an executive chef handling catering in-house, so a couple booking here is working with the club’s kitchen rather than bringing in an outside caterer. That in-house setup is standard for a members’ club that has been feeding its own membership since the 1950s.

The String & Splinter is members-only for most of the year, opening to the public during Furniture Market and certain Social Saturdays, which is worth understanding before booking since it shapes how guest access and reservations work outside those windows. Couples should confirm directly what member sponsorship or booking process applies to a private wedding event.

Location & Getting There

The club sits in Market Square in downtown High Point, in the same two-story building it moved into after starting in the Sheraton Hotel’s basement, putting a wedding here in the middle of the city rather than on an outlying property. That downtown location is convenient for guests but comes with a city noise ordinance that requires outdoor music to stop at a set time. That ordinance is a High Point city rule rather than a club policy, so it applies regardless of which part of the club a couple books.

That curfew mainly affects any part of the evening held in the outdoor seating areas, so a couple planning to dance late should plan to move the reception, and the DJ, indoors well before the ordinance’s cutoff. Inside the ballroom, the tile floor and formal room give a DJ a straightforward hard-surfaced space to work in, with sound carrying cleanly across the tile rather than absorbing into carpet.
