The Most Beautiful Outdoor Venue!

The Beaufort Inn (Tabby Garden) was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. Cassandra was so great at answering any questions we had. The Tabby Garden is an absolutely beautiful outdoor venue. This is a great venue if you’re looking for the perfect garden wedding surrounded by Jasmin flowers and Spanish moss. We couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else!

The Beaufort Inn was the absolute PERFECT wedding venue!!

The Beaufort Inn was the absolute PERFECT wedding venue. We had our ceremony at Tabby Garden and cocktail hour/reception at Tabby Place, which was great for our group of 115 guests (although they can hold even larger groups). One of the things I loved most about our wedding weekend is that all of our closest friends and family were staying at our venue! Not only was it so convenient to meet up, hangout, and be able to easily walk downtown for meals/shopping throughout the weekend, it was also soooooo incredibly beautiful. We used one of the courtyards for afternoon cocktails. Our guests also used the fire pits and complimentary s’mores kits at night. The Fisher Cottage is the perfect getting ready location for bride/bridesmaids (complete with extra chairs for getting ready and a perfect, large closet area with extra hangers for hanging dresses!). The groom/groomsmen used the Caretaker's Cottage for getting ready, which was also great. All of the cottages and rooms are so quaint and historic, while also being clean and inviting. The front desk staff was so friendly and gave all of our guests tours of the property when they checked in. I worked with Cassandra for venue coordination over the last year and a half and she was very responsive and accommodating throughout. We are so thankful to them for giving us the perfect wedding weekend at their amazing venues/property!!

It couldn't have been more perfect!

My husband and I got married here this summer and it could not have been more perfect. The team at the Beaufort Inn is very responsive and made sure everything was just right. All of our family and friends who stayed here remarked on how beautiful their rooms were and how much they enjoyed hanging out in one of the many courtyards. It is such a stunning venue and charming hotel. It was amazing being able to have our ceremony and reception all in one place. Once the event was over all of our family and friends were able to just walk back to their rooms instead of having to drive. I can't recommend this venue highly enough!

What a fabulous venue! I've shot a few weddings here and the staff go above and beyond! The rooms/cottages are very cozy and convenient to downtown and the event staging area is the perfect size for larger weddings with a smaller courtyard for smaller events. I love the character this venue offers!

Beaufort Inn has many great opportunities! It's location is great. It's rental rooms are great. It's backyard wedding site is beautiful, large and fun. It also has an area for your wedding reception. After the wedding just walk a block from there and you can see the Beaufort River.
