Fabulous place for my wedding ceremony

We loved having our relatives to this historic church. It was so easy to work with the venue manager and she had plenty of open dates for us in June. She was laid back and easy to work with. Highly recommend booking this.

Wonderful place for wedding or elopement!

Everyone I interacted with at St. Luke's Chapel was caring and efficient especially Elizabeth. Her assistant Jim was kind enough to take photos for us and Chaplain Harris was truly a minister of Christ-like warmth and wisdom!

Amazing venue!

I held my wedding ceremony at St. Luke’s chapel in February and could not be more happy with the venue and customer service! All of my questions were answered by Elizabeth in the months leading up and she was so detailed with her responses to make sure my planner and I could plan accordingly. The acoustics inside of the chapel are also incredible- I had a string quartet play for my ceremony and it sounded fantastic. St. Luke’s is such a gem of a venue and at an amazing price point.

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Nothing like old Charleston charm. This beautiful chapel has so much neat history. Elizabeth was very prompt with answering my emails. The information is well prepared and organized, so really all of your questions are answered with her information packet. Either way, I was able to reach out and receive a quick response for any other miscellaneous questions. Loved this little church, pictures don’t even do it justice.

Wonderful experience!

We got married in early 2023 on relatively short notice and were so grateful to be able to do so at St. Luke's. This chapel is beautiful and a truly special place for our marriage. We could not be happier with the team at St. Luke's, especially Elizabeth, who went out of her way to accommodate us and all of our last minute adjustments.
