Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This beautifully restored 19th-century house in a charming Charleston neighborhood features architectural details such as stately exterior columns, an elliptical fanlight with carved moldings, a Palladian window, and a stunning cantilevered staircase in the Grand Foyer.
- Exchange vows beneath a 200-year-old oak on the Crescent Lawn, which wraps around a pineapple fountain and offers a lovely shaded ceremony location. The adjacent Oyster Tabby can easily be tented to provide room for a large outdoor reception.
- You'll have full use of the property, including a second-floor wedding suite and a ground-floor lounge inside the house. Other spaces on the grounds include a breezy piazza, which makes an excellent cocktail-hour area, and the intimate Secret Garden.
