From the moment we first visited Magnolia Gardens, we knew it was something special. Natasha was so warm and welcoming, instantly making us feel at ease and excited about the possibility of hosting our wedding there. Our wedding day at Magnolia Gardens was truly a dream. The grounds were absolutely stunning, and we loved having the entire property to ourselves—it made the day feel so personal and relaxed. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue, and our photos turned out better than we ever imagined. Magnolia Gardens also holds a special place in my heart, as it was meaningful to my late father. I truly can’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Thank you for helping make our day so unforgettable—we highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for something truly magical.

Legare Waring House was the most gorgeous location for our March wedding. The staff was great to work with, and the house was the perfect getting ready location for the girls and guys on the morning of the wedding. Because this venue requires everything being brought in, we hired a full planner (highly recommend Bouquets & Bowties) which made the logistics easy to navigate. Our guests were blown away by the avenue of the Oaks, the gorgeous gardens of cocktail hour and all the history in the house. Perfect venue!

Stunning venue that incorporates the best Charleston has to offer! The Parsonage feels like you own a piece of the city for a weekend - from the lush private garden to the beautifully decorated interior residence. You can choose between a garden, small chapel, or large church for your ceremony. All of your wedding photos will be amazing because of the tall windows and natural light throughout! The bridal suite is the perfect place to get ready for the day with tons of veranda space. Barbara who runs the Parsonage could not be easier to work with. She is amazing and takes great care and pride in every event hosted here. Could not recommend the Parsonage more highly. 10/10!

After touring close to 50 venues across the US, Rachel Hopkins the Sales Manager we had worked with, made it an easy decision for us! We selected The William Aiken House (which was unknowingly my first ever pin on Pinterest for a wedding venue) for our ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner, American Theater for our dancing/after party and Parcel32 for our rehearsal dinner/welcome gathering. Rachel was easily the best we worked with throughout our venue search and is a genuinely kind hearted individual! We also worked with Becky Kearns, who was also an absolute joy work with! The two of them were very accommodating and easy to work with as they shaped the various options for the venues, catering, and other items. Throughout the planning process the two of them and PPHG were very professional and thoughtful with each step. We felt comfortable with them along the way and they made it easy to trust them in all ways. Abigail Roderick, Director of Events, was also fantastic in every way and we really enjoyed her flexibility in all areas of planning, and the tasting with her! We also worked with the amazing Rachel Starling for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Parcel32 which would highly recommend (please see our review)! The day of staff assigned to our events surpassed all expectations and we received much praise from our guest on how wonderful the service was. The catering and drinks were also a significant highlight from the affair. The feedback from guests on how it was “the best wedding food they have had” was so wonderful. We drool thinking back on each food item and drink, and are so happy PPHG upholds such a great standard for the catering. We also were so pleased in choosing to work with Jessica the Pastry Chef for our Cake. It was so elegant and received endless compliments, and tasted delicious too! And it goes without saying, the beautiful unique venues (and photos from them) were breathtaking! To end, you would be making the best decision to work with PPHG. We are so happy and forever grateful for everything they did for us :) PPHG was wonderful to work with in every aspect! We would highly recommend anyone planning an event or wedding to work with them! They have the best venues in the United States, exquisite catering and genuinely thoughtful top notch staff.

The venue was perfect and the staff were amazing. They made our special day so wonderful and magical. The price was affordable especially for all that was included. Outdoor space for the ceremony, outdoor space for the reception, a house for family to get together and get dressed. I highly recommend this location for your big day!!!

My husband and I just got married at Parcel 32 over the weekend and we knew we immediately had to write a review for anybody else who is considering this venue for their special event. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Parcel 32, Rachel, the chefs and the entire crew. The process of planning an event at Parcel 32 is truly flawless from start to finish, in large part thanks to Rachel. She is an incredible communicator and has the entire process down to a science. When working with Rachel, you always feel like your event is on track and you very clearly understand where everything stands and your next steps. By the time our actual wedding day came, we were completely at ease and able to enjoy every minute of the day, knowing that Rachel was in control and would keep our timeline on track. Beyond the organization and planning process, we also can't say enough about how beautiful the space is, how delicious the food is, and how wonderful and attentive the crew are. Our guests never waited for a single thing - so many people came up to us saying they've never had better service at a wedding. I really could go on and on but suffice it to say - book this venue and you will not regret it! Thank you, Parcel 32 Team! You made our day SO special and we are forever thankful to you.

If you are planning a small intimate wedding ceremony & reception in downtown Charleston, Upstairs at Midtown is just your place. While planning our impromptu destination wedding- time allowed for only ONE visit, and one visit was all it took to know it was our spot! From the exceptional customer service and continuous communication with Sofie and her team- it was as if I was there everyday at the venue helping them prepare for our special day. Having to forgo the opportunity of a food tasting, we were a little apprehensive but let me tell you! It was amazing! Our guests ranted and raved about the food all night and for weeks to come. From the hand passed apps, displayed tables, and un-traditional tapas style affair, Upstairs at Midtown gave our guests so much to talk about. Our guests as well as ourselves, were touched at how attentive the staff was. Drinks were always full, and bellies were always fed. They really brought the “family” essence to the evening, and it was truly magical. The newly updated bridal suite on the 3rd floor was not there when we toured the venue and to see it there, day of was awesome! A nice place to slip away and get a moment to breathe, before during and after your night of celebration is simply another detail not missed. We would truly relive the night over again if we could. Thank you, Upstairs at Midtown. Xo Adam & Justina Keister- 6/18/2022

Went to a wedding reception here - this property is absolutely stunning!! Most beautiful venue in all of historic charleston. The outdoor gathering space is huge and oak trees are gorgeous. Big or small events would work well here. Must see! Does not feel haunted at all - it was an old building that was falling down and neglected. That’s all just fake nonsense to sell tourists tickets! The owners spared no expense in rehabbing this space into a luxury venue. Check this place out! It’s a must see for any nice event. Supposedly are doing offices here too but they didn’t confirm this while we were there. E.W.

I had a wonderful experience working with The Cedar Room when planning my wedding. From our initial tour with Jessie, who was so enthusiastic and up for anything, to our final tasting menu touches with Samantha, who was endlessly patient and accommodating, I can't say enough kind things about this venue! They truly were the most flexible and easygoing team, yet so organized, gracious, and on top of everything. They took food allergy concerns seriously, going out of their way to speak with guests over the phone and plan a safe menu for them. And the food itself? Amazing! (The desserts especially!) As for the venue itself, The Cedar Room was perfect for our big day. We fit two bars, a band, a dance floor, and 160 guests for a seated plated dinner and it never felt crowded (or too big). I would recommend this venue for anyone accommodating a crowd and looking to eat, dance, and party the night away at their wedding!

John at Union Station could not have been better to work with! From the first day we saw the space I knew this blank canvas would be the perfect backdrop. He was so accommodating on bar choices and his staff was SO professional. He also was great to provide advice as well as flexible on vendors and adding greenery to the space. This space is spectacular for all climates and puts your mind at ease for weather precautions. We had 200+ guests, band, and plenty of seating options and the space felt perfectly filled! John also let us hang lights and greenery from the trusses to make the space intimate. I cannot recommend John or his beautiful space any more! Thank you again!! *Wimberly Fair Designs did florals shown in photos
