Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Low Country charm comes to life at this 5.5-acre private estate in Bluffton, where tall pines frame a white-columned Southern manor that doubles as a boutique hotel. Whether you’re dreaming of a just-us elopement, an intimate wedding for up to 14 loved ones, or a full wedding weekend for 200 VIPs, the entire property becomes your private retreat.
- The mansion’s stately, white-columned façade makes a striking backdrop for your vows, with guests seated on the front lawn beneath a canopy of pines. Afterward, toast by the saltwater pool during cocktail hour, then move to dinner and dancing beneath a peaked sailcloth tent or under the stars.
- The whole manor is yours for the weekend, so your celebration can stretch into a welcome dinner, fireside chats in the Family Room, and a slow morning sendoff. On-site suites sleep up to 14, with a chef-prepared breakfast and afternoon refreshments daily.
