Choosing a wedding venue is a challenge, especially when there are so many amazing ones to choose from! My couples are always asking for the venues that have the Spanish moss covered oak trees which offer that iconic Charleston vibe. So I created this list to give you a starting point in your search for the best Lowcountry wedding venue!
Charleston boasts of some amazing venues, each with their own unique features. Each of these venues also provide several perfect photo opportunities that will make for great wall art in your home!
This list is by no means the end-all-be-all of venues here in Charleston, but I wanted to offer you a starting point!
