Not only is this event space incredibly gorgeous but the event director, Emily Schultz, was the most helpful and professional that lead to a stress-free wedding experience. The space contains a large entry, spacious bar, beautiful main room, and a lounge and loft. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with brick, dark woods, green, and gold in a romantic and elegant way. There's tile and wood floors with decorated walls that made this area so much more appealing than an empty banquet hall. Emily communicated with me through email and phone quickly, often, and professionally. She was the biggest help to this out of town bride! Her and her team put on an amazing event down to personalized menus and beyond excellent service from the bartenders to the many servers. Our guests also told us that the filet they had was the best they ever had! We had 60 guests and had plenty of room for a dance floor, dj, and photobooth area. We did our cocktail hour and reception here. I could not recommend Halls enough!

I cannot express enough how exceptional our experience was at 39 Rue de Jean for the rehearsal dinner we hosted the weekend of our son's wedding. Sass, the special events planner, was an absolute delight to work with. From the moment we began planning, her professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The staff at 39 Rue de Jean were incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything from setup to cleanup was seamless. Throughout the evening, they checked in with us multiple times to ensure everything was running smoothly and to see if we needed anything. Their attentiveness to the timing of each part of the event was impeccable. Even when we ran a bit over schedule, they were gracious and never rushed us or began cleaning up prematurely. The food was nothing short of spectacular. I received countless compliments from our guests about the delicious dishes and the overall ambiance of the evening.

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?

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.
