Perfect Summer Wedding

Our wedding day was more than what we could have imagined thanks to the Exchange. Having our wedding at the Exchange made the whole day an experience - ceremony in the pine grove, cocktail hour in their outdoor bar, reception in the main barn, and the party on the patio. The houses on the property were also great to host family and to have a place to get ready. The staff is so responsive with planning and made it such a breeze. The icing on top of everything - we added their ice cream option as our dessert and it was a hit for our summer wedding! One of our favorite days at one of our favorite places!

Home Away From Home

This place is pure magic. For starters, their daily events and atmosphere are something we fell in love with from the first day we visited. My husband and I currently live in Charleston, SC but we had the pleasure of getting married at Union Exchange on 10/26/24. We visited a few times with his family before this was even an idea, so it was very special to us to get married in a place that was already so close to our hearts. We mostly worked with Kelly, the heart and soul of this beautiful venue. She went above and beyond to truly make us feel at home with no detail missed. The owner himself personally made sure the official wedding day went just as smoothly. From chauffeuring our families around, to bartending, to communicating with all vendors on the day of, we could tell how proud he is of Union Exchange. This entire family is so genuine and humble, they were all such a dream to work with! We opted in for the Full Farm Package and our guests were blown away with how many options there were throughout the day that didn't leave them at one venue for too long and we're so thankful they were able to get the full experience of this special place.
Bonus - waking up to the sweetest horses, goats and chickens were truly the highlight of the entire weekend :)

The Dream Venue

The Union Exchange is an absolute dream! It’s got the small town, family oriented, classic feel that was perfect for my micro wedding.
Every staff member I encountered were so polite, thoughtful and helpful! All of my questions were answered in a timely manner and staff continued to check in to make sure everything was going well.
The venue is spacious which provided me with multiple options for the ceremony of my choice and even more options for pictures after my ceremony. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue experience. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for a venue in the area.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
