Set on a 44-acre working farm in Clemson, South Carolina, Sleepy Hollow Barn & Plantation centers on the J.C. Stribling Barn, built in the 1890s as one of the first brick barns in the state and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The barn's rare bank-barn construction, decorative brick latticework, and jerkinhead roof give the space its distinct rustic-elegant character, with original timber beams and French-pressed brickwork preserved throughout. Weddings, corporate events, and family gatherings take place in the barn and on the adjoining Wedding Green, a garden ceremony space framed by ancient oaks and rolling pasture, with the historic structure as a backdrop. Both rental packages include full access to the barn and Wedding Green, tables and chairs for up to 150 guests, use of the bridal suite and groomsmen's changing areas, and an on-site venue manager during event hours. The barn is heated and air-conditioned year-round, and couples are free to bring in their own licensed caterer and vendors.

Set on a peninsula within Lake Hartwell, five miles from Clemson University's main campus, the Clemson University Outdoor Lab is a lakeside retreat and event center surrounded by wooded trails and open water views. The property offers eight distinct venues, from a lakefront banquet hall to intimate covered decks, along with cabin and suite lodging for guests staying overnight. The Outdoor Lab hosts conferences, meetings, retreats, weddings, receptions, family reunions, and cookouts. Kresge Hall, the largest of the venues, overlooks Lake Hartwell with a stone fireplace and a wrap-around porch, while Cannon Chapel Pavilion offers a covered, string-lit gathering space within the Clemson Forest. Smaller venues like the Deck at Michael's Mooring and the Hopa Cabana provide more intimate lakeside settings for rehearsal dinners and gatherings. Guests can add a pontoon boat ride or canoe trip on Lake Hartwell, hayrides, and nature trails to their event, and the property's high ropes course and group initiatives support team building for corporate retreats. In-house food service through Carolina Catering, along with cabin and suite lodging, allows the Outdoor Lab to host all-inclusive, multi-day events.

Historic Ballenger House is a circa-1925 residence in historic downtown Seneca, South Carolina, recognized as a site on the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor. Built by Grady Woodfin and Eleanor Ballenger, the home stayed in the family until 1979, when their son donated it to the newly formed Seneca Woman's Club, which has owned and maintained it ever since. The main-floor Magnolia Room seats up to 48 guests and suits weddings, receptions, meetings, and fundraisers, while an upstairs conference room, converted from a bedroom in 2019, accommodates 10 to 12 for smaller gatherings. Both spaces come with audiovisual equipment and complimentary internet access included in the rental. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Seneca Woman's Club sustains the property through membership, rentals, and fundraising, directing a portion of rental proceeds toward scholarships for local high school students.

Cross Creek Plantation is a private club and event venue in Seneca, South Carolina, built around a P.B. Dye-designed golf course that opened in 1990. The property takes its name from three creeks — Perkins, Reedy Fork, and Coneross — that wind through what was once rolling farmland, and its 15,000-square-foot clubhouse now anchors weddings, receptions, and corporate gatherings alongside the club's golf and social life. The clubhouse offers a variety of areas for hosting events, from the upstairs Plantation View Room and its adjoining veranda to the downstairs Bogey Bar and Grill with its own veranda. Hosts can book select rooms or the entire clubhouse, allowing the space to flex from an intimate gathering to a large celebration. A scenic rear lawn extends events outdoors under a tent or open sky, with views over the golf course, while dedicated locker rooms and lounges give wedding parties a place to get ready. Cross Creek pairs its event spaces with in-house catering and bar service, offering everything from hors d'oeuvres packages and carving stations to full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus for hosted events.
