The People’s Tap was a fantastic venue to book for our surprise engagement party. Their ownership and staff were so flexible throughout the planning and worked to accommodate all of our catering and decoration asks. They even set up AV equipment for us for our champagne toast. My fiancé’s family came in from Texas and they were wow’ed by the ideal setting and location of the People’s Tap - right along the swamp rabbit trail and Reedy River, and just a several minute walk from Falls Park. Can’t recommend the People’s Tap enough and look forward to using them again for events in the future!

The Grove venue in Hendersonville is both modern and historically beautiful at the same time. So much care has been taken to preserve the worn patina of the walls and original brick while creating a warm, modern setting, and the big windows bring in so much natural light. This venue is a blank slate and lends to any design aesthetic, and works well for all seasons. It’s really a must see!

Awarded Best of Zola
Highland Brewing Company was an incredible venue for our Welcome Party from the very beginning, the communication with Erin Winters and Monica Mayville was quick, responsive, and easy to work with. When we had to quickly move our welcome party from New Belgium in February due to the hurricane, the team at Highland Brewing worked with us to get us situated for an April wedding. The spacious venue was perfect for our 99 person welcome party, and the staff was fantastic in helping us execute our special day. The beautiful space and great communication made our wedding day perfect. We highly recommend Highland Brewing Company as a wedding venue.

About wedding venues in Startex, 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?

Charleston commands premium prices for its historic charm while venues in the Midlands region offer more budget-friendly options without sacrificing quality.

  • 100 guests: $32,963
  • 150 guests: $45,268

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.

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.
