Charleston boasts historic charm, scenic beauty, and a mild climate — making it an idyllic place for an elegant wedding ceremony and reception. Out-of-town guests will be quick to extend their stay and soak up the Southern hospitality. With oak-lined avenues, cobblestone streets, and plenty of waterfront views, it’s easy to see why couples gravitate toward this picturesque city.

When it comes to finding the perfect wedding venue in Charleston, it’s important to narrow down your preferred venue type. For couples interested in a more traditional wedding, consider a ballroom wedding in one of Charleston’s many luxury hotels. Hotel Bennett, located in the center of historic downtown, wows with a bright and airy ballroom. Guests will love the complimentary bicycles at The Dewberry Charleston, as well as its modern ballroom and walled garden.

Of course, Charleston is also home to so many beautiful historic buildings that double as stunning wedding venues. The Historic Rice Mill features waterfront views in addition to charming architectural details such as pressed tin ceilings and exposed brick. Festive Hall, originally built in 1939, feels both modern and historic with exposed brick, glass paneling, and modern fixtures.

If you have your heart set on an outdoor wedding, look to The Pavilion at Patriots Point for a waterfront wedding with the option for golf outings. We also appreciate Cypress Gardens for its gazebos, Heirloom Garden, and manicured front lawn.

PartySlate makes it easy to find your ideal venue type with our curated directory. Use the filters to narrow your search, and make sure to check out a preferred venue’s PartySlate profile to see how real couples utilized the space. You can contact a venue right from their profile page or through the directory for outreach that’s as easy as a click of a button.
