Beautiful Setting Excellent Value

We loved this venue. We were able to host our rehearsal party, wedding, and reception at Carolina House and Gardens. We spent the night in the bridal suite, while out of town family members slept in the guest room. This historic home was the perfect backdrop to our wedding. I highly recommend it!
