Here Are 3 Spectacular Wedding Venues In South Carolina Part 1

Wedding Venues in South Carolina

Congratulations on your wedding engagement. Now what? You choose a date and then try to find a wedding venue in South Carolina that is available and checks off all of the boxes. How do you even start to know what all of those boxes are? There are so many beautiful venues in South Carolina that could be the right fit but how do you find them without feeling overwhelmed?

Are you looking for a wedding venue with beach vibes, old historical mansions, a waterfront resort, an upscale private residence, all of the Southern magic with live oaks and history, or one of the many high-end private plantations? The possibilities are limitless.

You Need To See These Wedding Venues in South Carolina

Let me start off with a few of my favorite wedding venues in the Hilton Head, SC area and why I think that they are simply magical for a wedding. Mind you, I am a photographer so the logistics of the venue matter as well as the aesthetic magic of capturing the best photography, the quality and hospitality of the staff on site and the limitless possibilities of the wedding venue to allow for all of the facilities necessary to make your wedding day seamless and foolproof.

One other thing that I am mindful of when suggesting wedding venues is that the bride and groom are the one and THE ONLY bride and groom that you will see that day. Do you even realize how important this is? It’s a buzz kill, even as a photographer to be shooting your gorgeous wedding party and then out of the corner of your eye, see another bridal party entering your space. No trespassing allowed. I don’t want to see another wedding party and you as the bride and groom certainly don’t want to feel anything but the special and the king and queen of the day. definitely can’t think of a better way to let you know how much I love what I do than sharing some of the incredible wedding venues that are the perfect backdrop to document your love story. From pristine beaches to age-old live oaks to mansions to modern marvels. Whether it’s man-made or a tribute to nature, I’m all for sharing. These are just a few of the places where I love to capture luxury weddings at.

HEWITT OAKS

Hewitt Oaks embodies the quintessential Lowcountry experience. It’s private and tucked away on acres and acres of live oak avenues. Dreamy oak canopies make an exquisite backdrop for all of their event spaces, blending relaxed charm with modern elegance and world-class cuisine. And nestled between Hilton Head, Bluffton and Savannah, it’s close to everything.

Want to get married under the live oaks? Check! Want to have your romantic reception under an avenue of magical live oaks? Check! How about a cute cottage with all of the amenities and surrounded by a garden, white picket fence and decorated to be the perfect backdrop in your getting-ready shots? Check! There is even an indoor beautiful large white chapel, a large, gorgeous indoor venue, large lake with a dock, and the cutest architectural outbuildings for photos as well as your creative floral designs.

I sound like I’m gushing. But it is truly all that. You will feel like you have been whisked away to your own private Southern island that only you and your guests will be a part of.

All Eyes On You Because You Aren’t Sharing This Location With Another Bride or Groom. It’s All Yours for the Day!

That’s right. It’s only you on that property and their fabulous team will make sure to cater to you in such a professional way that you will feel like a Royal. And that treatment is given to everyone. Even as a vendor, they want to make sure that you have everything that you require to be able to facilitate the best service for your bride and groom. They are attentive to every detail. An example you ask? They are the only team that brought me an assortment of florals and objects to shoot my flat lays with. No one… no one ever does this! Each and every detail is considered. They are masters at what they do.

Delicious food & beverages, cakes, florals, and design are all crafted in-house by their experienced event staff. It’s a seamless experience for the wedding day and a perfect venue. They really don’t miss a thing. This team really knows how to throw a wedding celebration…from start to finish. Just look at how this event finished. I’ve never seen a bubble exit this “bubbly” before. See what I mean? Excellence in every aspect of the day.

And what happens after the Ceremony?

Well, I’ll tell you. You walk down the Live Oak pathway to the patio outside of the beautiful white chapel that is lined with lavender and all sorts of garden splendor to be greeted by your guests, your custom cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, your band and proceed to do your first dance. Brilliant.

Can we just talk about the prettiest table settings ever?

But wait, that’s not all. you then proceed to your reception location perfectly planted under majestic live oaks with otherworldly table settings. Honestly! Have you seen a prettier reception site?

The reception could not get any more magical

Have you ever dreamt about dancing under the stars? And the live oaks? This isn’t just the sets for movies and Nicolas Sparks novels. This is real-life legit. Imagine candle-lit dinner with all of your loved ones under a canopy of trees aglow with lights and champagne toasts sprinkled with love and laughter.
