Hands down, the best venue in all of Charleston, Thomas Bennett stole our hearts from the moment we laid eyes on it.

As Charleston locals, we thought we knew every corner of our city, but stumbling upon this hidden gem nestled in the quaint streets of the peninsula was a delightful surprise. This was the first venue we visited, and as we toured other locations afterward, we found ourselves consistently comparing them, always concluding that none could match the charm of Thomas Bennett House. The greenery, floral accents, and charming moss trees create an enchanting atmosphere that's truly unmatched. Guests loved the open grounds and the opportunity to explore the interior of the house during the festivities. Utilizing both indoor and outdoor spaces, from the main floor and porch during cocktail hour to the stunning garden draped in lights, added to the magic of the evening. Our out-of-town guests couldn't stop raving about the venue's charm and beauty, and we couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect setting for our special day.

The elegance of the house itself served as a perfect backdrop for our ceremony, and the garden – undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Charleston – added a timeless charm to our special day. The large brick courtyard and fountain exuded eloquence and added to the wedding's ambiance. The free-flying staircase and romantic balcony were perfect for capturing unforgettable moments, specifically our first looks. The venue's layout, with separate floors for bridesmaids and groomsmen, provided privacy and convenience. The richly decorated and spacious rooms provided a great setting for getting ready with our wedding parties. Another important and often overlooked feature is the ample parking – a rare find in downtown Charleston!

Kathy, our guiding angel throughout the planning process, was responsive, professional, and informative. Her assistance ensured that every detail of our dream wedding was brought to life seamlessly. She also was very helpful with cleanup and making sure we got everything back.

If you're looking for a venue that exudes timeless elegance, offers both indoor and outdoor spaces that can support the entire day from ceremony to reception, and comes with the most supportive staff you could ask for, Thomas Bennett is the place for you.

The Thomas Bennett House was such a beautiful setting and the women who run it are wonderful! So accommodating and helpful. You will not be disappointed.

I cannot say enough about our wonderful experience hosting our wedding at the Governor Thomas Bennett House!! It is the most unique and gorgeous venue - it was a destination wedding for us so we chose the venue before seeing it in person; pictures simply cannot do it justice. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how magical the whole place felt! We had our ceremony in the garden, cocktail on the grand porch and inside the beautiful home, and reception on the patio. We wanted to showcase the natural beauty of the space and were able to go with more minimal floral design and decor. I also loved that it was right in downtown Charleston - no 30 minute bus ride for the guests. We absolutely loved working with Linda, the venue manager, throughout the year of our engagement. She is so genuinely nice, extremely experienced, and was always happy to offer her expertise. I am so glad we chose TBH for our wedding and would highly recommend booking here if you can get a date :)
