Meeting and event venues in South Carolina

Planning a wedding in South Carolina

South Carolina is known above all for Charleston: historic houses, gardens and churches, and Lowcountry estates under live oaks hung with Spanish moss. The sea islands and the Blue Ridge foothills around Greenville add beach and mountain settings.

When to marry

Spring, from March to May, with azaleas in bloom, and autumn, from October to early December, are the favoured seasons. Summer is hot and humid, with afternoon storms. The coast lies in the hurricane season from June to November, so ask venues about their contingency plans.

Getting guests there

Charleston International serves the city and the nearby islands. Hilton Head is usually reached through Savannah/Hilton Head International in Georgia, the upstate through Greenville-Spartanburg, and the Grand Strand through Myrtle Beach. Many guests also fly via Charlotte or Atlanta and drive.

Historic houses and Lowcountry estates

In Charleston, historic houses with walled gardens, piazzas and ballrooms, and venues in old warehouses. Around the city, riverside estates with oak avenues and marsh views, and resorts and beach houses on Kiawah Island and Hilton Head. Upstate, farms and mountain lodges.

The legal side

In South Carolina the marriage licence is issued by the probate court of a county and can be used anywhere in the state. Out-of-state and foreign couples can generally marry there. Check the current requirements with the county probate court.

What kinds of venues are listed in South Carolina?

5 hotels and 5 event spaces.

How are these venues chosen and ordered?

By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.

Can out-of-state couples get married in South Carolina?

Yes. Couples who do not live in South Carolina, including foreign couples, can generally obtain a licence from a county probate court and marry anywhere in the state. Check the documents and timing with the probate court before setting the date.

When is the best time for a wedding in Charleston?

Spring, from March to May, and autumn, from October to early December, offer mild weather. Summer is hot and humid, and the hurricane season runs from June to November, so a covered space or tent is wise for outdoor plans.

Where are the best wedding settings around Charleston?

The historic district for houses, gardens and churches, Lowcountry estates with oak avenues along the rivers, and the sea islands such as Kiawah and Folly Beach for ocean views and resort weddings.
