A true low country gem

the staff at the Heyward House was very helpful from the first call to the night of the reception. Nicki was awesome as was Victoria with the help she gave us every step of the way. This is a 5 star event

Beautiful wedding but a few things you should know.

We had a beautiful wedding at Heyward house but you should know a few things. You need to pay another rental day to have a quick walk through of the ceremony rather than include this time on your wedding insurance that you are required to get. They recently painted all that useful furniture a deep green that I tried covering but it was tough. The area that you have the wedding is actually a parking lot filled with stone so by the end of the night we had shoes filled with stones and ants on tables and up legs. Lastly, by the time I paid for all the vendors, I could have had an indoor wedding after paying over a thousand for a tent.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
