I had my dream wedding at Meadowview Events. This is a gorgeous venue in a beautiful location with an outdoor ceremony site, separate cocktail hour location, and a large reception space. The venue also offers ample space in both the bridal and groom suites and an extensive list of approved vendors that was very helpful as we started planning our big day. We chose not to have a wedding planner, but the venue does require a day-of coordinator. They will provide this service, but there are certainly some particularities that they have about the venue, so I would recommend asking questions about everything you are planning to ensure if meets their requirements and advocate for what you want. I was told a handful of times that what I wanted “wasn’t what was typical” but once I advocated for it, there was no issue making my vision come to life. There were some times I felt like the need to question and advocate for what I wanted led to added stress during the planning process, but nothing too extreme to not make it worth having our day at this beautiful space. After months of planning, the day of staff was very attentive and worked well with family and vendors to ensure everything was in place and taken care of and that our day ran smoothly. As you plan your special day at this venue, make sure to discuss, ask questions, and advocate for your vision with the owner to ensure that your vision becomes a reality while staying within the requirements and guidelines of the venue. In the end, Meadowview Events helped us have the wedding and reception I had always dreamed of – it was the perfect setting for the perfect day!

My husband and I just got married here on September 13, 2025 but I’ve attended several weddings at this venue and I LOVE it every single time I arrive. Our wedding was the most perfect day! Carnes Lake has an intimate, at home feel! The out door space is amazing with multiple options for how you can set up for an outdoor event. The inside venue space is the intimate part, it’s small but MIGHTY! We had about 150 guests at our wedding and had plenty of room out on the patio area AND inside. They have a full kitchen with an island that’s perfect for serving space and preparation for making food! Ugh, everything about Carnes Lake helped make our day SO magical! Mrs. Fran, the owner, is so helpful and sweet & has answers to all of your questions and quickly! She was a delight to work with through our planning! Carnes Lake is just the most precious spot for your event/ wedding! We LOVED every thing about it!

My husband and I recently got married at The Union Exchange and had the most magical days of our lives. I don't even know where to begin! I have been going to The Union Exchange market since it opened in 2022 and ever since my first day on the property, I felt at home. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, there was familiarity to it with the rural charm and wooded trails. As I watched the property grow over the years and saw all the hard work they put in to making it a beautiful wedding venue, I knew deep down that this where my husband and I would get married. The staff at The Union Exchange are one of a kind. From day one, Kelly and Kacie were detailed oriented and provided helpful insight when making decisions, but never were pushy when it came to discussing add ons. Donna is sunshine personified and brought such a light to the meetings throughout the process. The day of the wedding was smooth and seamless and much of that had to do with the hard work of the venue team. The property itself is unlike any other venue we toured! It has the perfect blend of elegance and rustic charm, without feeling too barn-y. It's truly serene. We utilized the Full Farm Package so we had our ceremony in the Pine View Forest and reception at the Auction Barn, with cocktail hour at their stand alone bar, Splinters. One thing to note is the property is very large so there was some walking required throughout the day (for guests), but they are more than accommodating for people who need assistance! I HIGHLY recommend the Pine View Forest for the ceremony site. The lighting coming in through the trees was magical with the fall colors! You cannot go wrong with any location on the property for ceremony, but there really is something enchanting about the forest. The addition of the vintage furniture included in our package also added an element of elegance that perfectly matched the vibe we were going for. A HUGE perk of this venue was the addition of the AirBnBs on the property. We had the bridal party stay the night of the wedding and it worked out perfectly! My husband and I plan to come back on our anniversary and stay at the glamping cabin we stayed in on the night of our wedding which is such a special option to have that you don't get with many other venues. The bottom line - this venue is magical. The staff treats you like family to make it the wedding day of your dreams. I00/10 recommend!

This venue is the most amazing venue I toured while planning. It’s was absolutely stunning and everything I wanted in a venue. The venue coordinator is very nice, however, at times it was very difficult to get in touch with her. There is no staff to cover if she happens to be out of the office (which made it stressful as it closer to my wedding). Overall, I would recommend this venue for any celebration. I also loved that I had to option to bring all of my decor and vendors. My overall experience was a good one. My wedding was beautiful and everything turned out great.

About wedding venues in Chester, SC

Why Is South Carolina the Perfect Wedding Destination?

South Carolina offers a wedding landscape that's truly unforgettable. You'll find historic Charleston mansions with breathtaking 18th-century architecture, oak-lined plantation entrances that create dramatic photo opportunities, and Lowcountry waterfront settings showcasing spectacular marsh views. Looking for variety? The state delivers everything from coastal properties with sweeping Atlantic Ocean panoramas to secluded barrier island venues that capture South Carolina's natural beauty at its finest. June tops the popularity charts for venue inquiries despite the summer heat; those coastal sea breezes make all the difference.

What's the Average Cost of a Wedding Venue in South Carolina?

Wedding venues in South Carolina typically run about $7,821, eating up roughly 17% of your total wedding budget. That's actually a better deal than the national benchmark of $6,500-$12,000 which usually claims 25% of total costs. Expect to pay between $7,000 and $8,600 for most venues across the state. Charleston commands premium prices for its historic charm while venues in the Midlands region offer more budget-friendly options without sacrificing quality.

Total wedding budget by guest count:

  • 50 guests: $19,875
  • 100 guests: $32,963
  • 150 guests: $45,268
  • 200 guests: $56,268
  • 250 guests: $67,269
  • 300 guests: $78,269

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in South Carolina?

Riverain Farm in Travelers Rest features wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout the property along with spacious outdoor patios and convenient parking. The Oaks Wedding Venue in Anderson gives you multiple accessible ceremony settings including their signature Oak Terrace with specially reinforced pathways. Bent Creek Farm in Belton provides five different ceremony sites plus a climate-controlled barn that comfortably seats up to 200 guests. For urban elegance Hotel Bennett includes thoroughly accessible facilities throughout its ballroom setting letting everyone participate fully in your celebration.

Which South Carolina Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Gadsden House in downtown Charleston breaks the "wedding food" stereotype with exceptional cuisine that guests will actually remember. Lowndes Grove along the Ashley River produces restaurant-quality dishes from their in-house kitchen that specializes in locally-sourced seafood prepared with flair. Cannon Green delivers seasonal menus spanning coastal Italian to South Carolina favorites giving you flexibility to match your personal taste. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens pairs its stunning setting with high-quality catering options that complement the elegant surroundings rather than just filling plates.

How Can Technology Enhance Remote Participation at South Carolina Venues?

While specific tech features aren't highlighted for South Carolina venues properties like Seabrook Island Club Hotel Bennett The Cliffs and Hewitt Oaks could potentially integrate enhanced virtual experiences for your guests. Look for venues willing to accommodate interactive live streaming options virtual reality experiences or digital activities that truly engage remote attendees. The best venues go beyond simple video streaming to create meaningful connections for loved ones who can't attend in person.

What Should You Budget for Your South Carolina Wedding?

For a typical 150-guest wedding averaging $45,268 you'll want to distribute your funds strategically across these key vendors:

What Questions Should You Ask Before Booking a South Carolina Venue?

Ask about exclusive catering requirements since historic venues often limit kitchen facilities for preservation reasons. Get clarity on exact rental periods as many venues offer limited time windows instead of full-day access which affects your timeline. Understand capacity limitations particularly for historic properties with preservation restrictions that might impact your guest list. Request specifics on accessibility features beyond basic ADA compliance to ensure all guests feel welcome. For waterfront venues inquire about preferred tent vendors for rain contingencies; you'll want options that complement the setting while providing proper protection.

How Do Seasonal Considerations Affect South Carolina Venue Selection?

Charleston faces hurricane risk from June through November with August bringing peak humidity that can challenge outdoor events. Greenville venues enjoy cooler temperatures than coastal locations giving you more comfort flexibility during summer months. June leads venue inquiry timing despite potential heat challenges because coastal venues benefit from refreshing sea breezes that inland locations can't match. Smart couples look for venues with climate-controlled backup options; an essential feature given South Carolina's sometimes unpredictable summer weather patterns that can shift from perfect to problematic quickly.
