My fiancé and I were struggling to find a venue for our winter wedding. Our styes were totally different and we had toured many different types of venues without any luck. One day while visiting the Schiele as we often do, we noticed they were setting up for a party and that was it! It was easy and affordable to set up having our ceremony and reception at the Schiele. We opted to have the planetarium open during our reception and someone was in there the whole time to answer questions, point out different constellations, etc. Our guests loved having the entire museum to explore throughout the night and they had the added bonus of the sock skating rink being open! We had a wonderful time and many of our guests told us later it was the most unique and fun venue they had been to for a wedding.

About wedding venues in Glendale, SC

Why Is South Carolina the Perfect Wedding Destination?

South Carolina offers a wedding landscape that's truly unforgettable. You'll find historic Charleston mansions with breathtaking 18th-century architecture, oak-lined plantation entrances that create dramatic photo opportunities, and Lowcountry waterfront settings showcasing spectacular marsh views. Looking for variety? The state delivers everything from coastal properties with sweeping Atlantic Ocean panoramas to secluded barrier island venues that capture South Carolina's natural beauty at its finest. June tops the popularity charts for venue inquiries despite the summer heat; those coastal sea breezes make all the difference.

What's the Average Cost of a Wedding Venue in South Carolina?

Wedding venues in South Carolina typically run about $7,821, eating up roughly 17% of your total wedding budget. That's actually a better deal than the national benchmark of $6,500-$12,000 which usually claims 25% of total costs. Expect to pay between $7,000 and $8,600 for most venues across the state. Charleston commands premium prices for its historic charm while venues in the Midlands region offer more budget-friendly options without sacrificing quality.

Total wedding budget by guest count:

  • 50 guests: $19,875
  • 100 guests: $32,963
  • 150 guests: $45,268
  • 200 guests: $56,268
  • 250 guests: $67,269
  • 300 guests: $78,269

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in South Carolina?

Riverain Farm in Travelers Rest features wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout the property along with spacious outdoor patios and convenient parking. The Oaks Wedding Venue in Anderson gives you multiple accessible ceremony settings including their signature Oak Terrace with specially reinforced pathways. Bent Creek Farm in Belton provides five different ceremony sites plus a climate-controlled barn that comfortably seats up to 200 guests. For urban elegance Hotel Bennett includes thoroughly accessible facilities throughout its ballroom setting letting everyone participate fully in your celebration.

Which South Carolina Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Gadsden House in downtown Charleston breaks the "wedding food" stereotype with exceptional cuisine that guests will actually remember. Lowndes Grove along the Ashley River produces restaurant-quality dishes from their in-house kitchen that specializes in locally-sourced seafood prepared with flair. Cannon Green delivers seasonal menus spanning coastal Italian to South Carolina favorites giving you flexibility to match your personal taste. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens pairs its stunning setting with high-quality catering options that complement the elegant surroundings rather than just filling plates.

How Can Technology Enhance Remote Participation at South Carolina Venues?

While specific tech features aren't highlighted for South Carolina venues properties like Seabrook Island Club Hotel Bennett The Cliffs and Hewitt Oaks could potentially integrate enhanced virtual experiences for your guests. Look for venues willing to accommodate interactive live streaming options virtual reality experiences or digital activities that truly engage remote attendees. The best venues go beyond simple video streaming to create meaningful connections for loved ones who can't attend in person.

What Should You Budget for Your South Carolina Wedding?

For a typical 150-guest wedding averaging $45,268 you'll want to distribute your funds strategically across these key vendors:

ServiceAverage Cost% of Total Budget
Venue$7,82117%
Catering$6,25714%

Videographers$3,6838%
Planners$2,4895%
Bands and DJs$1,4903%

Hair & Makeup$5591%

What Questions Should You Ask Before Booking a South Carolina Venue?

Ask about exclusive catering requirements since historic venues often limit kitchen facilities for preservation reasons. Get clarity on exact rental periods as many venues offer limited time windows instead of full-day access which affects your timeline. Understand capacity limitations particularly for historic properties with preservation restrictions that might impact your guest list. Request specifics on accessibility features beyond basic ADA compliance to ensure all guests feel welcome. For waterfront venues inquire about preferred tent vendors for rain contingencies; you'll want options that complement the setting while providing proper protection.

How Do Seasonal Considerations Affect South Carolina Venue Selection?

Charleston faces hurricane risk from June through November with August bringing peak humidity that can challenge outdoor events. Greenville venues enjoy cooler temperatures than coastal locations giving you more comfort flexibility during summer months. June leads venue inquiry timing despite potential heat challenges because coastal venues benefit from refreshing sea breezes that inland locations can't match. Smart couples look for venues with climate-controlled backup options; an essential feature given South Carolina's sometimes unpredictable summer weather patterns that can shift from perfect to problematic quickly.
