    Beautiful and romantic venue for wedding ceremony

    My husband and I got married at Magnolia's last week, and it was perfect! We had our ceremony under "The Oaks," and turned out beautiful. Amanda was so helpful and kind throughout the planning process.

    Great experience!

    We loved having our wedding at the Carriage House! Amanda was incredibly helpful during our planning and made the process so easy for us.

    Magnolia was very accommodating when we wanted to come check out the venue again with our planner a few weeks before the wedding (and then again with our parents).

    The venue is beautiful year round and all of our guests loved it!

    The perfect venue for the perfect night

    We had an amazing time renting the Carriage House for our recent wedding on August 3rd. Their staff was always willing to allow me to come and share the venue before hand with friends and family and let us into the gardens for free when we visited. The onsite bridal suite was perfect for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in and the grounds were the perfect backdrop for our big day! Everyone was in awe of our venue and how beautiful it all came together!

    Fairy tale wedding

    Had my fairytale wedding at the Carriage House. Vendors familiar with it and new ones found it to be vendor friendly. Guests keep telling me how beautiful it was; and my wedding was 7 months ago!

    Breath taking

    My husband and I got engaged October ‘18 and wanted to be outdoors preferably Charleston under a tree. December ‘18 was our wedding date. Magnolia Plantation was the perfect place for our small wedding & worked with us quickly to ensure everything went PERFECTLY!

    Can’t wait to go back and visit! It also gave our guests something to do during the day with all the tours and animals that the plantation has!

    Amazing!

    We had a such wonderful experience at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens! We were planning our wedding from Philadelphia, and couldn't ask for more a helpful team to work with throughout the planning process. From our initial tour of the entire plantation and venue space, we had a great experience on site and with the staff. The Magnolia team provided us with an amazing list of vendors who were familiar with the venue, and were there to provide more recommendations along the way. When we decided to book the Carriage House for our wedding, we were happy to find out that an outdoor ceremony site was also included, as well as use of the entire plantation for photos, and a bridal suite. We got married on the grounds of the Carriage House this past October and couldn't have asked for a more picture perfect day. The grounds provide such an AMAZING backdrop for photographs and a wedding ceremony! We are so overwhelmed thinking back to how beautiful our wedding was.

    We eloped with just us and our two girls but the plantation staff still pulled out all the stops! Each spot is more beautiful than the next on the plantation so you can’t go wrong with location or pictures. Beautiful bridal suit also made getting ready convenient and fun!

    Loved our Carriage House wedding!

    This venue was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. The grounds are breathtaking and the carriage house is beautiful and homey at the same time. We had terrible storms on our wedding day and were so thankful to have chosen the carriage house. We had the options of moving the ceremony to the porch or inside, we chose inside and it was a beautiful, intimate ceremony. We had about 70 people at our wedding and the space was setup to feel intimate but not empty. We were still able to take advantage of the grounds and walked around in the rain for some fun and amazing pictures. Leanza was great to work with throughout the process, always responsive to our random questions.

    I had my wedding at Magnolia Plantation at their Veranda location and COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER! The location is one you won't get anywhere else. I was planning a destination wedding and immediately fell INLOVE with the venue upon visiting. Simply put, it's gorgeous, myself and my guests were blown away. Even with the rain, my day could not have been anymore perfect! Even when taking pictures Leanza helped drive us around on their trolley which I was not expecting! I don't think you can get a more beautiful venue in Charleston (and at a very reasonable price!)

    Words can’t express how amazing our wedding was and how wonderful the experience was working with Magnolia Plantation and Gardens!!! Our wedding and photos look like we came out of a fairytale and the photos and ambiance you can’t get anywhere else! I am so overwhelmed thinking back to how beautiful our wedding was. We were lucky enough to have the Azaleas in bloom which was incredible, but what is so nice about this venue is that rain or shine the pictures will look incredible! I worked with Leanza a lot and she was amazing to work with and helped accommodate our wedding beyond what I could have imagined! I can’t recommend Magnolia Plantation enough!!!

    We couldn't have made a better selection for a venue! Magnolia Plantation was the most beautiful venue we toured and we knew we had to have it the moment we saw it. I was stressed about planning a destination wedding but everything turned out amazing!

    Edson and I just had our wedding at the Carriage house on Sunday! We LOVED THE VENUE! Our guests were in awe! We loved the interior of the Carriage House and being alongside the Ashley River with the torches lit at night! The venue itself is beautiful and a dream come true! We are so glad we chose this for our wedding! It was perfect!!! We can't wait to see pictures! Thanks to the amazing staff!

    Magnolia Plantation was exactly what I was looking for in a wedding venue - romantic, lush, and full of natural beauty. It was the first venue we visited, and it was an immediate decision. We chose the carriage house for the rustic feel of the indoor area and gorgeous lawn with the iconic oaks and spanish moss. We even had some peacocks join the party, which were a huge hit. The bridal suite was a great convenience, as well as being able to ride on the golf cart for different photo locations. Our guests also got to have free admission to the Gardens throughout the whole wedding weekend, which is nice for out of town guests. If you are considering the Carriage House, just know that you will have to bring in everything separately - tables, chairs, decorations, catering, day-of-coordinator - which took more coordination but for us was totally worth it! I am so happy that I went with my gut and had my perfect wedding at Magnolia Plantation.

    Amazing venue!! Breathtaking scenery and friendly staff! Our fairytale came to life when we chose Magnolia as our place to say "i do!" It truly is one of the most romantic places on earth! The azaleas and gorgeous mossy oaks make a picture perfect backdrop, not to mention the gorgeous bridges for photos! Thank you for the memories and a lifetime destination that we will visit annually!

    Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is everything and more! When I got engaged I searched several venues but my heart always led me back to Magnolia Plantation. As soon as we were able to tour the different sites on Magnolia we were both sold. Both Cindy and Leanzea are so helpful and the grounds are simply gorgeous!! My fiancé and I cannot wait to get married under the beautiful oaks next to the Carriage House!
