  Hidden Acres

  6701 Ella Grace Ct, Marion, SC 29571, USA

  Your fairytale wedding should take place at Hidden Acres because it is the ideal setting. It combines old-world allure and natural splendor with the seclusion and tranquility of a pastoral setting and a surprising number of contemporary conveniences. Hidden Acres is a stunning location for your dream wedding, as it is discreetly tucked away in the countryside and is only ten minutes away from the historic downtown area of Marion. Allow us to assist you in making memories that you will treasure for the rest of your life. Hey y'all, Hi, my name is Donny Gerald, and I own Hidden Acres in Marion, South Carolina's historic district. When I first began Hidden Acres in 2007, I can say with complete candor that I had no intention of ever developing it into a wedding venue. It was first conceived of as a sort of hunting lodge when it was first built. But as more people approached me with the idea of having their wedding here, I became aware that there was a niche in the community that I could potentially fill. Keeping this gap in the market in mind, I set out to make Hidden Acres the most sought-after location for weddings in the Pee Dee region. To each of our couples, I believe that we have brought a little bit of paradise into their lives through the work that we have done here. The fact that other people love Hidden Acres just as much as we do is both an honor and a source of humility for my family and me. We are always looking for ways to improve the property, and it is one of our favorite things to do at Hidden Acres to surprise our clients with brand new and exciting amenities. When you stay with us, you'll get a taste of what "Rustic Charm and Southern Hospitality" was meant to be: the best of both worlds!

Trista Hoffman, our Special Events Coordinator, will ensure that your next event is a success. Three restaurateurs developed a vision in 1982 to create a dining experience that was uniquely "Charleston," with a focus on fresh, local cuisine and courteous service. They had the perfect location in the Historic French Quarter, with three buildings and a garden courtyard, but they couldn't come up with a name. With the urgency of launching looming, Harvey Poole, Joe Sliker, and Chef Steve Kish agreed to name the restaurant after the street location. As a result, one of Charleston's oldest and most renowned restaurants was born... Queen number 82! One may imagine that a 39-year-old spectacular original would be lost in the shuffle as Charleston's culinary culture gains international attention and hot young chefs launch trendy new restaurants. Customers seeking an authentic Lowcountry experience continue to fill 82 Queen's 11 dining rooms as it sticks to its original objective of serving fresh local cuisine.
