The Porter Room was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the start, their communication was mainly via email, which was convenient and responsive. The space itself is great - it's a large, moldable area that allowed us to truly customize it for our special day. The easy access for set up and clean up was a huge plus, and the bar staff were amazing - timely, professional, and attentive to our guests. The event coordinator was also incredibly organized, available, and informative throughout the planning process. The beautiful marshlands in the back, lined with gorgeous oak trees, provided a stunning backdrop, and the blank canvas of the Porter Room resulted in photos that our guests are still raving about. I highly recommend this location for any event, especially a wedding!

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. The entire team at 39 Rue de Jean truly made the night unforgettable. I highly recommend 39 Rue de Jean and their outstanding staff for any special event. They truly rock!

Our experience with Harborside East was absolutely fantastic. Planning a destination wedding from out of town could have been stressful, but the team made everything so easy. They were responsive, helpful, and even gave us a video tour of the space early on, which was such a thoughtful touch. The venue itself exceeded all expectations. The setting is truly immaculate—right on the water with an unbeatable view of the bridge, harbor, and a perfect sunset. The ceremony lawn was stunning, and the entire space was visually gorgeous. On the day of, everything was seamless. All the furniture was set up before our vendors arrived, and there was more than enough to accommodate our 125 guests comfortably. The view alone was worth every penny. We couldn’t recommend Harborside East more highly for anyone dreaming of a beautiful waterfront wedding.

About wedding venues in South Carolina

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

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.
