Belle's Venue and Farms was THE perfect venue choice for our wedding. From the very beginning, Brittany was so helpful and supportive as she guided us through the planning process. Viewing the venue, asking questions, signing contracts and making payments was always a breeze! Brittany truly has a gift. Every time I visited the venue, she had her iPad ready to take detailed notes which she would share with me- (even if I changed my mind a couple times hehe...) She was so attentive to any questions I had and I could tell she really cares about making a couples wedding day visions come to life. Belle's is truly a budget friendly, all-in-one venue without sacrificing quality. There are a few ceremony options, including inside, to fit any couples preference. All of the available decor were all great quality and went so well with the aesthetic of the venue. The venue and property are STUNNING- (I wasn't going to add photos here because the website speaks for itself!!) Gorgeous farm tables and chairs, aesthetic lightning inside and out and you can't beat the location. It's truly a small-town farm oasis with endless spots for photos! We are so beyond grateful to Brittany and her team at Belle's Venue and Farms for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend enough! Please at least book a tour here! You won't be disappointed!

5/5 – Beautiful Venue in a Serene Setting We recently celebrated my daughter’s wedding at The Barn at Reeves Farm this past May, and it was absolutely wonderful. The venue offers a peaceful, rural setting that feels tucked away from the world — quiet, scenic, and perfect for an intimate wedding. The owners of the venue were responsive and a pleasure to work with. There was plenty of parking for guests, which made things easy for everyone attending. One of the standout features was the indoor stage area, which we used to elevate the wedding cake — it was a lovely touch that made the cake cutting feel even more special and visible to all our guests. The property is surrounded by beautiful old-growth trees that provided natural shade throughout the day, creating both comfort and charm. There’s also a picturesque pond with a fountain that made for a stunning backdrop in the photos — truly memorable. The rental includes some tables and chairs, which helped cut down on extra costs, and overall, the venue is very affordable for what it offers. It’s a hidden gem, and we’re so glad we chose it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a naturally beautiful, budget-friendly wedding venue.

From the moment we arrived at the Pavilion at Walker Century Farms, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our winter wedding. The owners, who were prompt and professional in all of our communications, greeted us warmly and gave us a tour of the stunning property. The view is truly breathtaking, especially at sunset when the venue is bathed in a magical glow. The team was incredibly organized and accommodating, even when one of our bridesmaids accidentally locked us out of the bridal suite - the owner drove to the venue that night to let us back in. Throughout the planning process, they responded quickly to any questions we had, whether by email, phone, or text. The Pavilion provided the ideal, modern atmosphere we were looking for, and the value was exceptional, especially considering the gorgeous setting and impeccable service. When Hurricane Helene impacted our financial situation, the team was understanding and worked with us. Our winter wonderland wedding was truly magical and perfect in every way - we would recommend the Pavilion at Walker Century Farms to any couple looking for a stunning, affordable, and stress-free wedding experience.

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.

I cannot say enough about Caitlyn and her amazing staff! When hurricane Helene destroyed our venue in the mountains, she reached out and told me they could make it happen and assured us it would still be beautiful. The venue alone is stunning! All of the small details you don't think, about they have! Caitlyn hit the ground running as soon as we said yes! She works with the most kind hearted vendors and they stepped in to plan a meal and drinks for our guests. The kind of service and love that they pour into their venue is seen in everything they do. Caitlyn and her team helped with everything from setting up table decor, setting up the food and drink and even held my train as I walked down to the isle. Peep the picture. :) I could only imagine the kinds of weddings that happen at this venue with more time to plan! If you are looking for a full experience wedding that will leave you feeling like you became part of their family this is it! I honestly can't think them enough for how much they came through for us and made a difficult situation the greatest blessing. Pick Legacy at Gregory Downs as your venue and you won't regret it!.

I held my son and his now wife’s reception here in Sept 2024. You will not find a better person to work with than Sandra. She has the best idea’s and will help make your event special and perfect. The Bonaparte castle is a must see to appreciate its beauty. Her way of putting ideas together with your own brings her event space to life.

We hosted my husbands military retirement party at Upstairs at Rue de Jean and to say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made is an understatement. Sass made communication and planning so easy. There were no hidden costs, what was quoted to us is what we paid. The bartenders and staff took care of everything. The venue is so beautiful we kept our own decor minimal. We are so thankful we got to relax and spend a night we won't forget celebrating my husband's accomplishments with friends and family.

My favorite spots for pictures are the bridge behind the clubhouse, the nearby lake, the sunset filtering through the oak trees, and the golf course itself. There is a large ballroom with lots of room for dancing on the second floor of the clubhouse.

The Seabrook Island Club is the most beautiful wedding venue with a wonderful wedding coordinator, friendly and accommodating staff, and delicious food!! The location overlooking the ocean is stunning. The wedding coordinator Michelle was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect!! She helped us plan from start to finish. We didn’t have a wedding planner so we really relied on Michelle to help us with a lot of the decisions and she was very knowledgeable and great to work with. She answered calls and texts at all times of the day and was always quick to respond! The staff was friendly and provided the highest level of service. And the food was amazing, the appetizers, main courses, and dessert were all delicious. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone interested in a gorgeous ocean front 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
  • 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.
